4k Wow. Had to boost again at the end. “Good journalism mirrors the world around it”
Before the media was paid for, you wanted to make sure journalists didn’t “make you look bad” so you made an effort. The bugle are the vanguard. Keep shining light of truth.

9.4k Thank you both so much for your integrity and mission. Music is powerful medicine and the factories that produce it like to fiddle with the recipe…. Get it from the source. Shake your musician’s hand and tell them what it means to you.
