      A truck driver sadly passed away while unloading the renowned 1979 Andy Warhol BMW M1 Art Car at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, as part of the Hagerty Foundation’s “Cars at the Capitol” pop-up car show. Events scheduled for the remainder of the week have been canceled.

      Television news footage revealed that the M1 was being unloaded from an enclosed Reliable Carriers transport truck, which is known to be one of the top companies in the car transport business, making this incident particularly unexpected. Some reports suggest that an equipment failure may have caused the accident, although no confirmed details have been provided yet. The Washington Post stated that emergency services responded to a report of “a man trapped under a vehicle,” ultimately finding the individual "... suffering critical injuries. Despite the efforts of the medics, he was pronounced dead."

      The M1 was re-packed and taken away last night following a police investigation, as it is currently being investigated as a workplace accident.

      Hagerty released the following statement:

      “On Wednesday afternoon, there was a tragic accident in Washington D.C. during which a truck driver lost his life while unloading a car. Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the individual. Out of respect for the deceased, we will refrain from further comments at this time, and we have canceled the events scheduled for September 18-23.”

      The Warhol M1 is famous for its eye-catching design and racing legacy, having been painted by the legendary artist in under thirty minutes and having raced at Le Mans. Its monetary value is immense, and as a historical piece, it holds significant importance. However, it may not be displayed publicly for some time after this tragic incident.

Singer/songwriter Sarah Katherine Lawless’s newly released “make it make sense – stripped” (feat. Ava McCoy) takes a gentler approach, with its acoustic sound encapsulating a bitterness softened by time. This ballad opens with harmonized humming, evoking memories of seasons gone by. The original version, "make it make sense," released in 2024, was reminiscent of a rain-soaked sidewalk in the aftermath of a storm. In contrast, the recently unveiled “make it make sense (stripped)” featuring Ava McCoy offers a more tender perspective, situated between seasons and reflecting on the past. The heavy, humid anger has dissipated, leaving raw vocals enhanced by a fresh outlook alongside a new voice. Consequently, “make it make sense (stripped)” embodies a sense of closure, reminiscing on a summer romance that soured, almost expressing gratitude for the missed opportunities. These lyrics express thoughts of misunderstanding: “‘Cause you were assuming That I was through coping And off and away with another” Revealing a glimpse into the type of content I tend to engage with online, they evoke a sense of yearning that has evolved from frustration. This rendition carries a confessional tone, resembling regret when looking back. There’s a noticeable distance in this version, a sadness lingering after the anger has passed. It reflects a more nostalgic perspective, recalling the intensity of past emotions. Ava McCoy sings: “We’re newly found rivals so I’ll play the menace And you can go kindly f* off” Suddenly, Sarah Katherine Lawless shares in that sentiment. As they unite in the final line, the old bitterness surfaces easily: “But you give and take Oh my god! Get away from me You can head straight back to hell” This track encapsulates the shared experience of a situationship, effectively conveying the “disappointed but not surprised” sentiment. The back-and-forth in attention and affection is exasperating; however, with reflection, it highlights how ill-suited they were as partners. The tone shifts from assigning blame to a hard-won acceptance: “We walked the plank And you sank but I swam to the top And away so I thank you” These lines, paired with the acoustic melody, articulate the core feeling of this version: a complex detachment, a bitterness softened over time. — — :: connect with Sarah Katherine Lawless here :: — — “make it make sense” (stripped) – Sarah Katherine Lawless ft.
