If I’m on a train & I step into the aisle & bounce a basketball, the ball travels along with the train, it doesn’t stay in the place on the tracks above where it bounced. This is how I envision sci-fi time travel. The traveler moves along with the Earth. Yes, I know time travel isn’t real 😎

Are you guys aware that Ritchie appeared on an album of blues covers by…William Shatner? He played on a horrible rendition of Thrill is Gone. I just discovered it today

I'm really starting to appreciate the bluesy nature of a lot of Deep Purple, especially Mark III. I'm a blues deejay at a small radio station and play a lot of blues-adjacent music. I've played a few Deep Purple songs recently.
