Clutch, the 30yr old band you probably don't know.

Clutch is an American rock band from Germantown, Maryland. Since its formation in 1991, the band lineup has included Tim Sult, Dan Maines, Jean-Paul Gaster, and Neil Fallon. To date, Clutch has released thirteen studio albums, and several rarities and live albums. They're an amazing band that turned 30 back in 2022. My favorite album has to be their 2015 album "Psychic Warfare". Now, it's pretty hard for me to pick a favorite song from the album because of how good it is, but if I had to choose, I'd probably have to say the 5th on the album "Sucker For The Witch" because of how I relate to the lyrics. "It goes against my catholic upbringing  I admit it, I'm a sucker for the witch"

The assassination of MLK

 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta GA, and was assassinated on April 4, 1968, by a branch of the US government. Dr. King was an incredible civil rights leader during the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s in the US. The "official story" that came from the US govt', stated that a man named James Earl Ray killed Dr. King. But a more widely believed story/theory is that the US Govt' actually killed MLK. In years past, MLK's family had sued us govt' for only $1 to prove that it wasn't about the money but to prove that the US govt' did, in fact, kill Dr. King. 

A YouTuber named Wendigoon has an incredible video essay on the subject. For whatever reason this website won't let me put the video here directly, so I'll put the link for you to click and or copy and paste.
