Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train To Georgia
_
"A superstar, but he didn't get far
Dreams don't always come true ... "
I once played this on the back bar jukebox at the Ashgrove 26 times in a row.
"Whenever he takes that ride
guess who's gonna be right by his side..."
This is Gladys in 1973, the year of its release.
Sing the Pips' part.
You know you know it.
Leavin'. Going back to find. Whoo hoo!

Songwriter: Jim Weatherly
Director: Canadian Stan Harris

Knight is very much alive, surviving an internet hoax. She was 78 in May, lives in Atlanta.

The Rock sings?
_
Dwayne Johnson--aka The Rock--shows off his tenor tonsils on Kelly Clarskson's afternoon chat show. Think of it as a talking dog moment.
And it only lasts two minutes.

I can't believe I heard that
I stumbled across an hour
of CBC Radio bloopers,
featuring Gzowski, Frum,
Farr, Maitland, McLean
and several hapless
news readers and announcers.
An episode of Rewind,
Michael Enright's dig
thru the CBC archives,
it's pretty amusing.

World Series?
"For the first time since 1950, shortly after Jackie Robinson broke the MLB color barrier in 1947, not a single U.S.-born Black player is projected to play in this World Series. Black players made up 7.2% of this year's MLB opening day rosters — the lowest percentage in at least 30 years."

If you've never really seen a stunning display of the Northern Lights, check out the show at the 30 minute mark of the latest Lost Lakes trip.
If you want to see how Jonathan Kelly gets to that camp site on Lake Nipigon--the sixth Great Lake--his trip video runs about an hour.
The image and editing smarts of so many Canuck wilderness trip vets is astonishing.
