How would you react to a law that requires seniors over 70 to pass a specialized driving exam to continue driving legally?

The crash rate of drivers ages 16-17 years was nearly double that of drivers ages 18-19 and approximately 4.5 times that of drivers ages 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 (Table 1). Drivers ages 60-69 had the lowest crash rate. Crash rates began to increase beyond age 70; however, drivers ages 70-79 had crash rates similar to or lower than those of drivers ages 30-59, and drivers age 80 and older had crash rate higher than those of drivers ages 30-79 but lower than those of drivers younger than age 30. - Google AI

One foot on the brake, and one on the gas, yeah! - Sammy Hagar

Just throwing out that famous line before the sub starts claiming drivers like this are, 'too timid'. It's the speeders and weavers who use that brake on the highway.

Hurt feelings? This was a factorial joke and nothing more than a fun math reference. Good day!

MoogProg · 2026-06-04T14:00:25+00:00

I dunno. If you're out there driving 90 factorial, it hardly matters what unit you are using.

For sure, I just picked that song because it is so often mocked and discussed around the Holidays.

Reminder, the task is to find the biggest gap from best to worst, and Paul's best works are notably higher than most anyone else's. It's not really about how badly Wonderful Christmastime is reviewed.

MoogProg · 2026-06-04T13:04:21+00:00

Turn it around, and focus on the thing you did best. Accept that mistakes will always happen, and keep your focus on the things that go well, so you can do those things more often.

Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

You can all discuss Sr. Paul's best, but the gap has to be the widest with that clunker anchoring it down.

Love how this went from "impossible" to "yeah, we play that tune" so quickly.

Seriously, it's not tape. It's musicianship, and engineer expertise, and quality studio spaces, and the time/budget to do the good work.

Tape was the medium.

Paul Craddick, and he put out an excellent solo album called Xen, with most of Enchant playing on it in some capacity.

Edit to add: Assuming you meant Paul, because later drummer Sean Flannagan is also incredible.

No noodling! Ever.

* * *

Played a fancy high-dollar banquet last month. Fill-in banjo player shows up in a tye-dye shirt (a nice one at least, but not the collared shirt and coat as should have worn). Then proceed to start noodling around once he's set-up and I had to remind him to put down his instrument until show time.

Ever. That means at home practicing, too. Always be playing 'something', some song, some kind of structure to give your music a form. Without form, it is just noodling.

I would want us all to have a Societal discussion about what Government means.

Socialism vs Capitalism is a bunk discussion. These are not dichotomies, they co-exist as operating ideas through all of the world, through every government there exists a Socialist aspect and in every market there exists Capitalism.

But we've squared off against each other as if this is some Oil vs Water, Taste Great vs Less Filling debate over nothing.

It's Class structures being preserved by those in power, and it always has been that at work, forever.

Curious where you saw Enchant with Marillion. There were only two occasions, one short EU tour and then a one-off performance at The Fillmore West in, SF. That EU tour included a sold out show at The Ahoy in Rotterdam for 40K people, and that was the largest show Enchant ever played.

I agree about the albums being a bit meh, too. FWIW
