James Montgomery joined me to talk about a benefit fundraiser event for a local food pantry serving the Plymouth area and will be celebrating the birthdays that week of performers James Montgomery and Danny Klein.Loaded with high-energy, high-octane blues and rock, the Rock n’ Roll Circus is an explosive show that will be “Nothin’ but a House Party”. This great line-up features 3 Grammy nominees, 2 New England Music Hall of Fame inductees, 1 Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame inductee, a New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee, and more.The line-up features Jon Butcher, known for his days of Johanna Wild, Jon Butcher Axis, Barefoot Servants, and performing on Experience Hendrix tours.  Jon is one of the most influential performers in Boston, having toured the country opening for the J. Geils Band, Def Leppard, Rush, and the Scorpions among othersFormer J. Geils Band bassist Danny Klein will also be on hand.Also joining the party is Johnny A., a Grammy nominee, Boston Music Award winner, and Boston Music Hall of Fame inductee, whose career spans acclaimed solo work, performances with Peter Wolf’s band, and his time in the Rock & Roll HoF band the Yardbirds.The show though would not be complete without the presence of New England Blues Legend, James Montgomery.  A musician of many talents, James, is an iconic figure in blues music for over 40 years, is an accomplished blues harpist, singer, front man and bandleader, lending these talents to his own band, The James Montgomery Band, and to countless sessions and tours over the years with the likes of Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, B.B.

I spoke with Meredith Hankins, legal director of NRDC's federal climate work.In February, the EPA withdrew the 2009 endangerment finding regarding the impact of greenhouse gases on public health and welfare. This regulatory change modifies long-standing Clean Air Act protocols, which may lead to shifts in public health outcomes, disaster preparedness requirements, and long-term energy pricing.Why This Matters Now:Public Health at Risk: From the start of President Trump’s second term, the administration prioritized propping up fossil fuels. NRDC and others warned this would increase pollution and health harms. One year later, the data confirmed it: policies keeping coal plants online are worsening air pollution, harming children’s lungs, and increasing the risk of premature death.Higher Costs for Families: Rolling back clean vehicle rules means higher costs for American families. The standards were projected to save drivers about $6,000 over the life of a new vehicle through fuel and maintenance savings. EPA’s repeal raises gas prices and household costs—even by the agency’s own analysis—while broader energy rollbacks expose families to higher utility, health, and disaster-related expenses.Economic Damage from Climate Disasters: In 2025 alone, 23 separate billion-dollar climate disasters caused at least $115 billion in damages nationwide — a cost borne by American families, homeowners, and taxpayers.  Legal Precedent Ignored: In Massachusetts v. EPA, the Supreme Court held that greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act and required EPA to determine--based on science alone--whether they endanger public health and welfare. Scientific Consensus Overwhelming: The National Academies of Sciences reaffirmed that EPA’s Endangerment Finding “was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence.”
