The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
To start off the week, we have Iron Butterfly with their 1968 hit, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" which was second album of the same name. The song was actually supposed to be "In The Garden of Eden." According to Wikipedia, "Drummer Ron Bushy, organist-vocalist Doug Ingle wrote the song one evening while drinking an entire gallon of Red Mountain wine. When the inebriated Ingle then played the song for Bushy, who wrote down the lyrics for him, he was slurring his words so badly that what was supposed to be "in the Garden of Eden" was interpreted by Bushy as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."
Iron Butterfly is an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1966. They are best known for the 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music. Although their heyday was the late 1960s, the band has been reformed with various members with varying levels of success with no new recordings since 1975. Their second album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968), remains a best-seller, and Iron Butterfly was the first group to receive an in-house platinum album award from Atlantic Records.

The above video is a good example for keeping your distance from bison in Yellowstone National Park or anywhere else. Bison are surprisingly fast.
Fortunately, the grandfather, although injured, is expected to fully recover.
From Cowboy State Daily:
A man was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by an angry bull bison in Yellowstone National Park.
Mike MacLeod, a professional photographer from Bozeman, Montana, said the incident happened at the Bridge Bay Campground, south of Fishing Bridge.
MacLeod said the man was walking with his grandson when the agitated bison made them the targets of its aggression.
“I was just trying to get some dramatic footage of that bison having a fit,” he told Cowboy State Daily. “It’s changed my idea of what to expect from these guys at this time of year, because I would not have predicted that happening.”
The National Park Service has not released any information on the incident.
The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
We open the week with Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods and their 1974 hit, "Billy Don't Be A Hero". The song was voted #8 on Rolling Stone magazine's readers' poll of "10 Worst Songs of the 1970s" even though it did hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June 1974.
At the time, some thought it was about the Vietnam War that ended the year before, but it was actually set in the American Civil War.
Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods are an American pop music group, known mainly for their 1970s hit singles, "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and "Who Do You Think You Are".
The band was formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1965 by their leader, Robert Walter "Bo" Donaldson. Their first singles were released between 1966 and 1968 on a label owned by Bo's mother, Bea Donaldson. Those four singles went largely unnoticed. The band were first discovered while touring with The Osmonds in the early 1970s and signed with Family Productions, releasing their first single in 1972, "Special Someone", but their big break came after moving to ABC Records and working with the record producer Steve Barri in 1973. Although their first single with ABC, "Deeper and Deeper,” failed to make a big impression on the charts, beginning in 1974, the band began a string of hit songs.
We Ranked Every .30-30 Lever Gun by Real-World Value! video by The Armory.
Summary:
This .30-30 lever gun ranking looks at the real value behind today’s most talked-about deer rifles. From the Rossi R95 and Marlin 336 to the Winchester Model 94, Henry Side Gate .30-30, and Mossberg 464, this breakdown focuses on what matters for a working rifle in the woods.
We compare price, optic mounting, side-eject design, weight, accuracy, fit and finish, parts support, and real-world practicality. The .30-30 Winchester cartridge delivers similar performance across these lever-action rifles, so the big difference is not raw power. It is how each rifle carries, scopes, handles, and holds up as a practical hunting rifle.
The Rossi R95 brings Marlin 336-style function at a lower price, while the Ruger-made Marlin 336 Classic makes a strong comeback. Henry brings craftsmanship, Winchester brings history, and Mossberg remains a used-rack budget option.
Which .30-30 lever gun would you actually trust in the deer woods?
