Kalamazoo, Michigan, mostly rests on the southwest bank of the river that shares its name. Several tributaries feed into the river here, creating hilly terrain that turns the city into a wonder of winding roads, undulating to conform to the natural landscape. Kalamazoo is also the county seat, with both city and county buildings filling downtown, where a maze of one-way streets adds to the congestion. A good summer has brought heavy roadwork, making the city nearly impassable.

Today, Body Count releases their powerful rendition of "Comfortably Numb" featuring David Gilmour—a fresh take on the classic Pink Floyd track that explores themes of detachment and introspection.
