Steve Fennessy: This is Georgia Today; I m Steve Fennessy. Last week, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced she will not seek a second term. For close observers of City Hall, it was a reminder of how quickly political fortunes there can rise and fall, especially when you consider that not even a year ago, Bottoms was seen as a possible running mate for President Joe Biden. Keisha Lance Bottoms: In the same way that it was very clear to me almost five years ago that I should run for mayor of Atlanta, it is abundantly clear to me today that it is time to pass the baton on to someone else. ....

In a landscape filled with young British guys singing and playing the blues with that rock edge pioneered by names like John Mayall and Alexis Korner, Humble Pie could bring it with anybody. They seemed to be a perfect rock combination of raw and sweet. Steve Marriot brought the grit with both his guitar and his voice.
