  I’m sure we’ll also hear how this is Trump’s genius laying a trap for his enemies. SEAN HANNITY (HOST): You get leaks of these tapes that we played last night on Hannity involving Donald Trump, which, by the way, don’t prove a thing as far as I’m concerned. You know, but if you’re a […]

This one is for Cabela’s, though it doesn’t sound as if they’re all that concerned about all that missing inventory, does it? The title track to Lyrnyrd Skyrnyrd’s 1976 LP, its fourth but first without Al Kooper producing. It failed to chart as a single, but the album went gold in the wake of the […]
