after the second mass shooting
[link removed]
in a month in West Texas, a weekend of “no news” would be welcome. One senses that the Permian Basin shooting marks a turning point, perhaps, in what has become a political stalemate over what to do about gun violence. As you'll hear in our conversation with the mayor of Odessa, below, there is a growing sense that words alone will not comfort those who fear that we are on the wrong course – and that the time for action is overdue. It is just one of several stories, below, that speak to big changes happening in the Lone Star state – each one worthy of a closer listen. Until next Wednesday, we'll see you on the radio.

I know – I’m from there. So imagine my surprise when, years later, I learned my hometown actually had a genuine claim to fame: the Texas International Pop Festival, a three-day music festival just weeks after Woodstock. Over 150,000 people came to Lewisville to listen to acts like Led Zeppelin, Santana, Johnny Winter, and Janis Joplin. At the time the town didn’t exactly embrace the experience –
