When the JWST came to life and began observations, one of its first jobs was to gaze back in time at the early Universe. The Assembly of Galaxies is one of the space telescope's four main science themes, and when it observed the Universe's first galaxies, it uncovered a mystery. According to our understanding of how galaxies evolve, some were far more massive than they should be.

The truth has been buried for a very long time.

In this episode, we’ll take a look at the reality of chemtrails. Not only will we read from government documents, but we’ll even provide local media investigations into them and see what they uncovered.

Why do I feel the sudden, unshakable urge to be a part of Alan Jackson’s “Summertime Blues” music video? Is it nostalgia? Is it a yearning for simpler times? Maybe it’s the fact that seeing a youthful Alan Jackson water ski is scientifically proven to boost one’s serotonin levels? It could really be any of those things, or a combination of the three. And there’s one thing about the music video that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt. If I had a time machine, I’d go back to witness the filming of the “Summertime Blues” music video. That’s always a fun question, right? Where would you go in time – past or future – if you had access to a time machine? Everyone has a different response to that inquiry, and mine just so happens to be a very niche choice… but I still think it’s the right choice. How could I pass up witnessing one of the seminal moments in 90’s country music history? Especially when we’re talking about country music legend Alan Jackson. More often than not, the “Chattahoochee” singer always brought it with new music, and this 1994 masterpiece of a project was just another example of his success. Who I Am was the fifth studio album for Jackson and was released over 30 years ago now. Crazy, right?. It sold an impressive 102,000 copies, and in 1999 was recognized by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was certified four-times platinum. The record was jam-packed with Alan Jackson hits, and it’s almost hard to believe that all of these songs came from just one album. Who I Am brought to life four separate number one hits, including “Livin’ on Love,” “Gone Country,” “I Don’t Even Know Your Name,” and the incomparable “Summertime Blues.” The song tells the story of having to unfortunately work during the beautiful summer months. That’s a pretty good point to make, right? Remember when you got the summer months off as a kid? Now “summer break” means nothing to an adult. When the weather is at its best, we grown-ups are often stuck inside working… when we were built to water ski in bright colored life vests and cowboy hats. Alan Jackson and his team could not have done a better job encapsulating what summertime is all about. Driving trucks through mud, wearing overalls with nothing underneath, having reckless mud-slinging fights, waterskiing with one hand… all of the summer staples wrapped into one video. When I say that would be the first place I’d stop with my time machine, I mean it with 100% certainty. And you might be asking, “Would you try to get in the music video as an extra? Or would you just want to watch it all go down?” My answer to both of those questions is a firm, resounding, “Hell yes.” More than anything, I’d just want to be in the presence of greatness. This video below may have been when country music – and music videos in general – peaked. Just being able to witness the filming of the action-packed, pure country music video would be more than enough for me: “Summertime Blues” The post If I Had A Time Machine, I’d Go Back To Witness The Filming Of Alan Jackson’s ‘Summertime Blues’ Music Video first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Morgan Wallen is already breaking records in the 12 or so hours after I’m The Problem has been released. Today, the Tennessee native released his monstrous 37-track album I’m The Problem, the 4th studio album of his relatively short but explosive country music career. The record includes features from fellow country artists Eric Church, Ernest, and Hardy. Morgan’s first major collaboration with a female artist, the Canadian pop star Tate McRae, is also featured on the album, with a duet called “What I Want.” The album also features the controversial “rap-style” interpretation of Keith Whitley’s “Miami, My Amy,” which Wallen told Kelleigh Bannen he knew he was going to get “crucified” for. I can’t say I totally disagree with that. I have not dove into the whole album yet, but this was one of the first songs I fired up when it dropped  I’ll just say that I am not a fan. My thoughts echo a sentiment my colleague Casey wrote earlier: “I’m one of the hardest people to offend on planet Earth but turning a Keith Whitley classic into a rap song is an easy way to do it.” To be fully transparent, I have been overwhelmed with where to even start on this tracklist. It’s like opening up the SAT and not being sure what strategy to take. Do you start in the middle? Listen from top to bottom? Skip over the previously released singles, or listen to the record on shuffle, eventually making your way through the 37 tracks in roughly two hours. I might take a few days to get through the album because I can’t multitask while writing, and I’m doing my editors a favor by keeping my ears and mind on the task at hand. I am clearly in the minority on this, though, because social media has been buzzing all day about the new album. While some folks were underwhelmed, the majority of comments I’ve seen are overwhelmingly positive. One social media user claimed it was the album of the year only four minutes after it was released. While that’s probably a bit overdramatic, Morgan’s fans are many and they are loyal. 1st song into this Morgan Wallen album and it's already album of the year. — Brick (@BrickTalksBall) May 16, 2025 Bold statement for only hearing 1/37 on the album, but I respect the confidence. It appears that this user is not the only one who thinks this is a stellar project from Wallen, as his streams have been record-breaking since the album’s release. No, really. It’s not shocking for Morgan Wallen to break a record or two when he drops a new project, as it’s a pattern we’ve seen over the years, and this release is no different. Today, Spotify announced that I’m The Problem is officially the most-streamed album of 2025 so far. Morgan Wallen just made country history—again. pic.twitter.com/RFuGfxhJAy — Spotify (@Spotify) May 16, 2025 We are less than halfway through 2025, so there is still time for this record to be broken. However, given Wallen’s massive fan base and the lengthy tracklist for this album, I was not very surprised to see this post from Spotify. If the album featured only 12 songs, would it have the same result? With his fanbase right now… something tells me it might. Before you go, check out a few early favorites off the record. “The Dealer” “I Got Better” The post 12 Hours After Its Release & Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m The Problem’ Is Already The Most Streamed Country Album Of 2025 first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
