Lowpass @lowpass.bsky.social · 30/06/2026It’s the strangest thing sometimes. Even ottawa locals who don’t live in this particular part of downtown often don’t have a great perception of what it was like. I still flinch at the sound of an airhorn. 020

Lowpass @lowpass.bsky.social · 30/06/2026The battle of Billings bridge. That was weekend number 2 as I recall. Apologies for being harsh but there can be this perception that the convoy was some kind of temporary autonomous zone, when on the ground it was police protection that made it last. 320

![When the 1974 recording of the song reached number one on the country charts, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to record the song.
Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded.
[28] Parton refused. She recalls:
I said, 'I'm really sorry,' and I cried all night. I mean, it was like the worst thing. You know, it's like, Oh, my God... Elvis Presley.' And other people were saying, 'You're nuts. It's Elvis Presley!'...I said, 'I can't do that.
Something in my heart says, 'Don't do that. And I just didn't do it... He would have killed it. But anyway, so he didn't. Then when Whitney [Houston's version] came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland. 29]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oxplkzuausfufk5dthatrd5m/bafkreihq5mquwwvljjtys7fyqpnwvzj4cnfrkinrrbuhflwrdkxerzcghi)
