Alan Lewis<p>DAVID MALLETT<br>"VITAL SIGNS"<br>Mastodon Post</p><p>Evidently "Vital Signs" is the David Mallett fan favorite. It starts strongly with "Midnight Madness" and ends with "Highways," which, according to an apparently knowing Amazon customer comment, was often a very big number in concerts. Side One's "April" and the title track are spoken of favorably by Mallett's followers. The first side ends with one of Mallett's best known songs, "Red Red Rose," which was covered to perfection by Emmylou Harris. It is surprising how many covers and interpretations of David Mallett songs closely follow the original arrangements. This may be seen as a testimonial to the production.</p><p>"Vital Signs" is notable for the team effort - from piano to drums - of the players, with each contributing catchy riffs.</p><p>"Vital Signs" is something like David Mallett's forbidden fruit album. It has never been reissued; and, as far as I am aware, it does not stream. (Some re-recordings do.) A track that once was posted to YouTube has been removed. Evidently the label, Flying Fish Records, made a mistake on the cover which is mirrored on the LPs label, crediting all words and music to Mallett. Judging by the publisher credits, the first song on the second side, "(Coming Apart) At the Seams," appears to be an exception. Evidently pianist Chris Neville claims a co-writer credit. The album got locked up by a lawsuit. Vinyl LPs and at least one cassette can be had online and, one would imagine, in used record stores.</p><p>Following popular concert attractions "Good Times" and "These Times," the album ends with Mallett's re-recording of "Highways," which first came out on the live "Hard Light" album. Mallett's singing here on "Highways" is so different that it ought to be considered as a rearrangement.</p><p>Jim Rooney did his usual excellent job with this production. David Mallett's home, Sebec, Maine, shares a town line with my old hometown, Milo. For me, then, it is more than a little ironic that Jim Rooney got his start performing on Boston's WCOP Hayloft Jamboree for Nelson Bragg, "The Merry Mayor of Milo, Maine."</p><p>A clean burn of the vinyl LP keeps me happily listening. Anyone who has read this far may want to hunt up a copy of the vinyl album. If you are a devoted singer-songwriter fan, chances are good that you have a friend who has burned it. A reissue would have been ideal but ways still exist to enjoy what may very well have been David Mallett's most popular record release, "Vital Signs."</p><p>Here are two of the best covers of David Mallett songs:</p><p>Summer Of My Dreams<br>Kathy Mattea - Topic</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzFUG4zQWGU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span

As written, the law's felony offense can cover protesters who block a street or make passage "unreasonably inconvenient" even if there are no cars on it. The felony offense can also seemingly apply to protesters who block a driveway or alley, even temporarily. The law also creates a new civil cause of action, such that anyone who knowingly or recklessly blocks a street can additionally be sued for civil damages.</p><p>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB2570&amp;GA=113" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillI</span><span class="invisible">nfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB2570&amp;GA=113</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 23 Jan 2024; Approved by Senate 23 April 2024; Approved by House 23 April 2024; Signed by Governor Lee 9 May 2024</p><p>Issue(s): Civil Liability, Traffic Interference</p><p>SB 451 / HB 881: Mandatory penalties for expanded aggravated riot offense</p><p>Expands the definition of "aggravated riot" and creates new mandatory minimum penalties for that offense. To be convicted of "riot" under Tennessee law, a person only needs to knowingly gather with two or more people whose tumultuous and violent conduct creates "grave danger of substantial damage to property or serious bodily injury to persons or substantially obstructs law enforcement or other governmental function." For instance, one could be held guilty of riot for merely joining a large protest in which there is isolated pushing, even if no one is injured. Under preexisting law, a person could be held liable for aggravated riot if they participated in a riot where someone was injured or substantial property damage occurred, even if the person did not commit any violence nor intended violence to occur. Under the law, a person may also be guilty of aggravated riot if they participated in a riot and either participated in exchange for compensation or "traveled from outside the state with the intent to commit a criminal offense." A "criminal offense" could include, for example, temporarily blocking a street as part of a protest. "Aggravated riot" is a Class E felony, which is punishable by up to 6 years in jail and a fine of $3,000; the law also introduces a mandatory minimum of at least 45 days of imprisonment. </p><p>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0451&amp;GA=112" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillI</span><span class="invisible">nfo/default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0451&amp;GA=112</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 8 Feb 2021; Approved by Senate 11 March 2021; Approved by House 28 April 2021; Signed by Governor 13 May 2021</p><p>Issue(s): Riot</p><p>HB 8005/SB 8005: Heightened Penalties for "Inconvenient" Protests and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestCamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestCamps</span></a> on State Property</p><p>The law heightens penalties for certain offenses that could encompass conduct by peaceful protesters. The law heightens existing criminal penalties for blocking a street, sidewalk, or "any other place used for the passage of persons, vehicles or conveyances" from a Class C to a Class A misdemeanor. Accordingly, protesters who obstruct or make it "unreasonably inconvenient" to use a street or sidewalk could face up to one year in jail. The law likewise heightens penalties for the existing offense of "obstructing" or "interfering with" a lawful meeting, procession, or gathering, from a Class B to Class A misdemeanor. Protesters who intentionally "interfere with" a meeting of the legislature or other government officials, including by staging a loud protest, could therefore face up to one year in jail. The law also targets protest encampments on the grounds of the Capitol and other areas by broadening the definition of "camping," and heightening penalties for camping on state property. As such, protesters who use or place any "piece of furniture," shelter, or structure on state property could be charged with a Class E felony, if they continue to do so 24 hours after receiving a warning. The offense would be punishable by up to six years in prison, a fine of $3,000, and restitution for any property damage. The law also amends Tennessee provisions on "riot," (which is defined broadly), including by requiring those convicted of "inciting" or "urging" a riot to pay restitution for any property damage incurred by the offense. When it was introduced, the legislation authorized the Tennessee Attorney General to intervene and prosecute offenses where there has been damage to state property, including those arising in the context of peaceful protests, if the district attorney declined to do so; however those provisions were removed prior to the law's enactment, and replaced with a requirement that district attorneys produce a report on such offenses and how they were dealt with.<br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB8005&amp;GA=111" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillI</span><span class="invisible">nfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB8005&amp;GA=111</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 7 Aug 2020; Approved by House and Senate 12 August 2020; Signed by Governor Lee 20 August 2020</p><p>Issue(s): Protest Supporters or Funders, Riot, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrafficInterference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrafficInterference</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Camping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Camping</span></a><br> </p><p>SB 264: New penalties for protests near gas and oil pipelines</p><p>Creates new potential penalties for protests and demonstrations that "interrupt" or "interfere with" a pipeline or pipeline construction site.

The offense is a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison and a $3,000 fine.

"Emergency vehicle" is broadly defined as "any vehicle of a governmental department or public service corporation when responding to an emergency," a police or fire department vehicle, or an ambulance. Unlawful obstruction of a street or highway was already a Class C misdemeanor subject to up to 30 days in jail; the law adds a $200 fine to the penalty.

Under the bill, that offense would be a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison, rather than a misdemeanor. As such, demonstrators in a protest that made it “unreasonably inconvenient” for someone to use a sidewalk or access a public building could be arrested and charged with a felony.

BellingenNSW<p>Where is the walking and cycling infrastructure ?<br>Let's redirect funding from roads to walking and cycling infrastructure. </p><p>"Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling. Unfortunately, that’s how much the Australian government has invested per person annually on walking, wheeling and cycling over the past 20 years."</p><p>"As a result of this over-investment in car road-building, Australia has the smallest number of walking trips of 15 comparable countries across Western Europe and North America. Many Australians are dependent on cars because they have no other choice in terms of transport options." </p><p>"Road use is inherently dangerous – in Australia last year, more than 1,300 people died on our roads, which is more than 25 people a week." </p><p>"The typical Australian household spends 17% of its income on transport – with car ownership making up 92.5% of that figure, compared to 7.5% on public transport."</p><p>"A major source of all emissions in Australia are from driving."<br> <br>"Redirecting funding from the current road budget makes the most sense, because getting more people walking, wheeling and cycling eases pressure on the transport system (think of school holiday traffic). "</p><p>"When it comes to transport, the saying goes “we get what we build” – so if we build more roads, we get more people driving.
