Good morning — Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to do an edition of Planet Waves FM this week. I plan to be back Tuesday night (usually, Wednesday at 12:01 am EDT) with a new edition.

Today’s edition of Planet Waves FM is doubling for daily astrology (which is covered in the first 15 minutes of the program).

Last week, I posted part one of my interview with Prof. Karl Grossman, one of the world’s leading anti-nuclear journalists. This week we have part two, and this happens to be the 24th anniversary of the meltdown at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine.

One of the most memorable voices in rock music is gone — Levon Helm, the Arkansas-born drummer and mandolin player for The Band. He died of throat cancer, which he’d been battling since the late 1990s.
