THE RANGELY TANK



Just a bit of background.  Here is where you would find Rangely, Colorado

And an introduction to the Tank from the Tank's webpage

The Tank is an acoustical marvel, a senses-altering experience found nowhere else on earth. A 60′ tall, 30′ across rusted steel water tank – never used – was discovered in Colorado by sound artist and sonic thinker ​Bruce Odland in 1976. A small group of musicians has been recording there ever since. ​The Tank is a sonic wonder of the world, with a shifting, swirling reverberation longer and richer than the Taj Majal or the Great Pyramid. Sitting unnoticed in the dirt hills outside Rangely, Colorado – surrounded by oil pumps and dirt bike trails – the profound acoustic beauty within is balanced by the austerity of its remote location and its simple industrial architecture.

    Couldn't make out the writing on it. Does it say Trump Tank?

    Good one Sandor. Maybe Trump could take it over, bloviate about it for a while and then declare bankruptcy.

    Maybe an omen. Trump may "tank." He comes out in favor of Planned Parenthood, then says he is anti-abortion. If he thinks he can be both, his brain is fractured into two or more distinct, unrelated compartments. I believe they call it schizophrenia.

  4. The list of Trumps lies and contradictions is way too long to list here. He is playing the electorate and the media like a drum. One of the funnier takes on Trump is Colbert's Trump vs Trump debate - easily found if you have not seen it.
