Today’s the day that the Artemis II space crew will complete their 10-day mission. NASA has been sharing the astronauts’ wake-up songs on a Spotify playlist, and yesterday it was Charley Crockett’s “Lonesome Drifter”.

Charley commented on NASA’s post, and said, quote, “When I was playing on the street in New Orleans years back, a woman named Angel told me I had to start down low if I wanted to get high. Lord’ve mercy was she right.”
