Phil returns for Today in Music History, touching Jimi Hendrix, Traffic, Bon Jovi, Elton John and Sony’s first commercial CD player before Dawn begins her recurring news segment. Remarkable video of Hollidaysburg-area students taking control when their school-bus driver suffers a medical emergency. We watch the students stay calm, apply the brakes, use the radio, call 911 and keep the bus from becoming a disaster. Their interviews lead us into a broader conversation about whether our own kids would react that calmly under pressure.
The second story returns to Montgomery County’s crackdown on THC products. Dawn details Kevin Steele’s action against 46 businesses and the potency claimed on some of the seized products. We compare the permissive sale of powerful edibles with local rules covering much smaller everyday issues. The third story comes from Pat’s King of Steaks, where longtime general manager Tom Francano is struck in the face with a cheesesteak by a customer who arrives with a camera and tripod. We debate the customer’s behavior, possible social-media motives and, naturally, the proper cheese for a cheesesteak.
