More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

One of the things that sets country music apart from other genres of music is the regularity at which artists release cover songs. For instance, in the ‘70s it was normal to see multiple artists cut the same song within months of one another. Today, many artists dip into the vast collection of songs from the past or tap expert songsmiths to get their material. Sometimes, it’s obvious that songs are secondhand. However, there are plenty of country songs from top artists that some listeners don’t know are covers.
