I don't think I ever heard the Bay City Rollers' music, but I will note the death anyway of one of the founding members, Alan Longmuir. He was 70 years old and died with "loved ones" around him. I hope that is the case and not a bunch of greedy vultures that tend to get embroiled in inheritance issues.

The Bay City Rollers were formed at the end of the 1960s and enjoyed substantial commercial success. They were known for their tartan outfits and upbeat, catchy tunes like "Bye Bye Baby" and "Shang-a-Lang."
The band had a fanatical teen following and sold more than 100 million records. They split up in 1978 and reunited in 2015 for a string of sold-out performances.
If I heard their music, I didn't realize that was who it was.

Some good news out of Thailand regarding the cave rescue.
It's pretty scary shit, though:
“I assure you we found them,” Mr. Narongsak told reporters. “After we have the doctor assess their condition, they are going to give them treatment for them to be able to move. Then we are going to decide next how to move them.”_____
Divers were finally able to reach the group after enlarging a narrow, submerged passageway that had been too small for them to get through while wearing air tanks.
Earlier, crews had used huge pumps to reduce the water level, and divers had placed guide ropes and air tanks along the route to reach the site of the trapped boys.
Good thing I don't live in Zimbabwe. I'd be up shit crik.
It's men's rights nirvana. Paul Elam would feel right at home there:
Politics in Zimbabwe remains a man’s game, and virility is a measure of one’s ability to rule over others. Mr. Mugabe was 72 when he married the 31-year-old Grace Marufu. Constantino Chiwenga, the country’s 61-year-old vice president, is married to a woman almost half his age. Even the famed opposition leader, Mr. Tsvangirai, was embroiled in several sex scandals before marrying a woman 25 years younger.

Women are finding Donald Trump a good issue to get involved or returning to get involved in civic life.
