Red Hot Chili Peppers. How many times over the years have you seen or heard that band’s name?
The other day when I was photographing local bagpipers during practice I thought I spotted that name on the back of one piper’s t-shirt.
But looking over my images of the Police Pipes and Drums of Plattsburgh I discovered I had misread the last word: it was Pipers.
Red Hot Chili Pipers are a Celtic rock band from Scotland that features three highland bagpipers. A contrast to the Peppers who are known for mixing various rock genres such as alternative, psychedelic, rap and punk sans bagpipes
Google took me to various articles about concert goers mixing up the names, going to see the Peppers but instead encountering the Pipers. Some Pepper fans still enjoyed the show.
It’s all rock and roll.
Here's a link to a Pipers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BWEd_kB6WE

Angry Voices Heard On A Summer Evening

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY 6/27/22
“Abort the Supreme Court!”
“Abortion is healthcare!”
“My body, my choice!”
The chants reinforced the point that many people are firmly against the Supreme Court overturning Roe Vs. Wade.
The recent decision allows governmental state leaders to ban abortion. Massive demonstrations have been held in numerous places, protests against the conservative members of the Supreme Court.
Pro Choice supporters crowded Trinity Park to chant and speak out against restrictions on abortion. A sea of signs backed up their voices, some showing a bloody coat hangers representing the dark days of back alley abortions.
The rally was loud but peaceful. To keep that peace city police and state troopers kept an eye out for any trouble.
Around 200 people showed up for the event. Considering the reaction across the country Republicans should be worried about Pro Choice supporters showing up to vote.
