#Rockney
Chas and Dave called their musical style “Rockney” I presume because Cockabilly gave an entirely different impression

My first venture in the #WeekendSingles is to go Rockney.

Sunday morning music. I genuinely think that early Chas & Dave is London folk music, a snapshot of the capital in the late 60s and 70s.

1975, London. Chas Hodges & Dave Peacock around the time of their first LP, "One Fing 'n' Annuvver". The duo had first met as teenagers in 1963. The "Rockney" tag was a bit of a misnomer as both were North Londoners, from Edmonton & Ponders End respectively

Stole it from Glen Rockney. He said it perfectly. The hope this year was that they would be bad but good enough to make games entertaining. They are clearly more than that so far this year.

I love their Rockney stuff too, but this is a stone-cold straight-up zero-irony gem. Might be in my top 10

Remembering the legendary Chas Hodges, born #OnThisDay in 1943, and warm and funny to the end.

“We knew the importance of only doing songs that you really believed in.”

Kanute Rockney is the funniest thing on an NFL broadcast since Joe Namath tried to make out with Suzy Kolber.

Anyone who writes about agriculture in the U.S. has butted their head up against farmers who won't say the words "climate change." In my latest for @foodprintorg.bsky.social, political ecologist Margiana Petersen-Rockney explains why

Why do some farmers resist climate action? We sat down with Margiana Petersen-Rockney, author of “Farmers and Climate Change,” to discuss the findings from her book:

"Amidst this economic crisis, related and profound climate change is already here, and farmers are on the front lines of its impacts."

Margiana Petersen-Rockney questions: What more can farmers sacrifice?

Farmers aren't protesting climate change, but they are left navigating the social risks as well as what they must sacrifice to provide for the community.

Researcher Margiana Petersen-Rockney on Farmers' Resistance to "Climate Change"
For eight years starting in 2017, Margiana Petersen-Rockney, a political ecology professor at the University of Montana’s W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation, visited with farmers in drought-plagued Siskiyou County in Northern California. On her mind: How these farmers were or were not responding to the challenges that drought — varying in severity here for the better part of the 2000s, partly because of diminished snowpack — threw in their path. And whether they were willing to say it had something to do with climate change. Anyone who’s spent time with farmers knows that talking with them about climate change can be an odd experience. They may readily concede its existence — although often in secret; they may deny “global warming” but admit that the weather has been unusually unpredictable; they may point out that the climate has always changed throughout history, with or without the actions of humans, and this current moment is no different. Meanwhile, each of them is contending, sometimes on an existential level, with the droughts, flooding, more powerful storms and/or wildfires that a changing climate is unleashing across the planet.
