Willie Nelson, who is still very much alive… …has a new album coming out. It’s called “Ride Me Back Home” and it’s set for release on June 21st. It’s a mix of originals and covers, including a version of “It’s Hard to Be Humble” which I’m curious to hear since I’ve liked that song since …

This is video of the first home run hit by a Montreal Expo during a home game. In the first inning of the first major league game ever played outside of the United States (April 14th, 1969), Mack Jones crushed it into the right field seats to give the Expos a 3-0 lead. They’d go …
