U.S. hemp plastics innovator Mark Linday passes away
Friends and colleagues started flooding social media late this week upon hearing of the passing of U.S. hemp innovator Mark Linday, founder of Green Spring Technologies, Fort Worth, Texas.
Linday started Green Spring, a sustainable technologies company focused on renewable resources, in 2014 after becoming interested in the potential for hemp fiber bio-composites. The company develops everyday items from hemp-based plastics.
Inking of the Farm Bill
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell famously used one of Green Spring’s custom designed ink pens to sign into law the landmark 2018 Farm Bill that made hemp legal at the federal level.
A U.S. Air Force veteran and a former intelligence analyst, Linday organized Green Spring around a core group of fellow military veterans, whom he strongly supported.
Supported veterans
“We don’t want to leave our veterans behind. We don’t want to leave anyone behind,” Linday told interviewer Michael Lyons at NoCo Hemp Expo in 2016. “Taking care of each other is the ultimate in sustainability,” Linday said.
He was also a staunch defender of cannabis. “We are not potheads. We are not criminals,” he told the Fort Worth Star Telegram in 2016 during a local demonstration in support of the Global Marijuana March. “The marijuana movement isn’t just about smoking pot. It’s about an agricultural crop with a lot of potential that we are forbidden to grow.”

It was a good think that Baker hung out mostly with musicians and such. If he hung out with, let's say, iron workers he would have gotten his butt kicked daily as he was truly an asshole who thought he was a tough guy who could throw a punch whenever the mood was upon him.
I was never a fan.

I remember that.
I was a big Leon Russell and the Shelter People fan back in the day.
And it always annoys the shit out of me when people attribute that song to Donnie Hathaway. Great singer, but no....he did not write nor originally release this song. This is a Leon Russell song from start to finish.
Sort of like when people attribute I will Always Love You to Whitney Houston....who did a great job with it, but its a Dolly Parton written and released song. Its Dolly all the way.
I saw a special on HBO...I think it was....called The Whale where Elton John found Russell in poor financial situation and in dire ill health. John sort of resurrected him, got him healthy (relatively speaking) and they recorded The Whale album.
I dont' think ole' Leon was particularly easy to get along with....but I loved his music writing, the collaborations he did in rock, and the incredible amount of session musician work he did.....he was on everything everywhere.
