RIP to Kris Kristopherson. One of the best songwriters of all time. Three of the four Highwaymen now tuning their guitars getting ready for their big show in the sky.

Still lots of drama in B-N community over the pop-up parties that exploded in B-N over Illinois State’s homecoming weekend and had an 18-year old from Oak Lawn being tragically shot and killed. Lots of tiktok videos circulating of swarms of revelers taking over a gas station or parking lots and social media posts claiming people came down from Chicago/suburbs to party here without any connection to ISU. The chiefs of Bloomington and Normal P.D. are supposed to go on talk radio tomorrow to talk about the townies’ public safety concerns about pop-up parties. With contested elections for Normal and Bloomington mayor this spring, I expect some folks to seize on this as a political issue.
