Today we get to sit down to talk bikes & life with Cary Brobeck, the owner & editor of Choppers Magazine. Cary preserves the history and culture of vintage motorcycles through events, media, and magazines and is one helluva dude!ABOUT CHOPPERS MAGAZINEWebsite - https://choppersmagazine.com/Cary's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brobeck/Choppers Mag Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/choppersmagazine/Back in 1967 car and motorcycle customizer and father of Rat Fink, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth invented the first true custom bike magazine genre with Choppers magazine. It offered up crazy wild choppers and even the first David Mann paintings. Hell, no less a kustom kulture icon than Robert Williams worked on the magazine. The original Choppers ran until 1970 and Roth closed the doors, which opened the door to three upstarts who started publishing Easyriders magazine in 1971.Fast forward to 2018 when former editor of WRENCH magazine Cary Brobeck decided the world needed Choppers to come back. He was right. After getting the approval from one of Ed Roth’s sons, (Ed died on April Fool’s Day, 2001) including much struggling and many sleepless nights, Cary brought Choppers magazine back to life and included all his friends from Easyriders after that venerable bike rag gave up the ghost.Nowadays, Choppers magazine still brings you the best custom creations imaginable and is staffed by Cary, former BIKER art director Steve “Beatnik” Werner and hangarounds including former In The Wind editor Kim Peterson, long time photographer and editor of Tattoo magazine Billy Tinney and a ton of other bikers, photographers, and artist.Choppers magazine is an important part of custom motorcycle history.

In this new limited audio documentary series by Daily Maverick, investigative journalists Richard Poplak and Diana Neille take a road trip across South Africa in search of answers to how the country got to this breaking point, and how the lives and careers of three senior ANC figures – Ace Magashule, Gwede Mantashe and Dr Zweli Mkhize – may be representative of the rise and stumble of our once vaunted democratic project and, by extension, liberal democracies everywhere.

In the annals of country music history, few collaborations have captured the imagination quite like The Highwaymen. Comprised of four of the genre's most iconic figures - Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson - this supergroup represented the pinnacle of outlaw country music and left an indelible mark on the landscape of American music. The Formation of a Legend The story of The Highwaymen begins in 1984, when Johnny Cash invited Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson to join him in Montreux, Switzerland, to film a televised tribute to Cash's 30-year career. The chemistry between these four legends was immediately apparent, and it wasn't long before the idea of a collaborative project began to take shape. The group's name was inspired by the Jimmy Webb-penned song "Highwayman," which tells the story of a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history. This song would become the title trac Bladys of the Stewponey by Sabine Baring-Gould. AudioBooks Bladys of the Stewponey by Sabine Baring-Gould. This story is set in England in the days when women were regarded as having a low status, highwaymen and murder were common and people were executed for trivial offences. The novel is based on two historical events: The first of these was the last public execution by burning in England which took place in Shrewsbury in 1789. The horror of the scene is graphically enhanced by the description of the tolling bell: "St Mary's bell boomed, sending throbs of sound overhead that beat against the walls of the house in one street, and came back muffled in recoil." The second event was where a young lady had to endure the shame of being the prize at a bowling contest. This is described as follows: "O yes! O yes! O yes! This is to give notice that this 'ere evening, at six o'clock, at Stewponey, there will be a grand champion match at bowls on the green. The prize to be Bladys Rea, commonly called Stewponey
