Great story of odinary people taking extraordinary action.

Me, I swim like a rock and just don't understand how folks can go out on water and not wear a life vest at all times.

Thanks! I don’t think I’ve heard a bad Bob Seger tune.

Expect OSHA to fine the company he works for. Creeps.

Kudos to this brave individual. Him and the crane operator are heros.

I love the slide guitar solo in that song. So basic. So bluesy. Technically perfect. Rock solid.
