Bomb Iran Song

"Bomb Iran" was a parody song, sung to the tune of the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" and was one of the most popular songs in the United States in 1980.   The recent bombings of Iranian nuclear weapons facilities was a shock throughout the world, but it has been brewing for 45 years!  This episode talks about the song and how US/Iran relations got to this point.

Escape From Asheville

My son and daughter in law were able to escape from the devastation left by hurricane Helene.  Four days without power, cell service, or internet connection.  For two days we couldn't communicate with them at all and had no idea if they were okay or not!  Asheville NC is still devastated.
