I Had Sumptin’ In Mind

But just like that it’s gone, poof.

No, I really did forget so who knows what comes of this.

Football

I guess I’ll talk about the new sidebar images first. Big Al is back for another season along with the schedule which will highlight how our season progresses. We came out shaking with inexperience and nervousness and stayed that way through the first half trailing by 4 at halftime {13-17}. Settling down in the second half we were able to shut them down and come back to win 45-17 .

I had given up on Texas by half-time and went to bed. Damn it, I missed a comeback that had to be epic. I was soooo happy to see this upset happen, a beautiful gift to all of college football and a great game for Michigan to watch unfold. Oregon? losing Will Stein hurt this team tremendously and it shows. Sorry Willie but if they don’t kick butt the rest of the year you might miss out on the playoffs.

Caffeine & Nicotine

Let me pour another cup of delicious dark roast and talk about the coffin nails I have been hammering since 1967. This time around I have managed to drop from 1 1/4- 1 1/2 packs a day to 2 cigarettes a day on average, still have a few days where no matter what I try it don’t happen and I over indulge on them, but hey, I’m trying.

Crawling into the day

Baby Steps? naw, just not in the Fastlane today. I am passing on the prompts and challenges I love to do and not practicing my vocals either. So what’s up in the dawghouse you ask? NADA, NUNTIN’ HONEY. I am going outside to enjoy some 70 degree weather with sunny skies. I was given an album this morning and want to give it a spin today, “The Bangles” ‘Different Light’, it has ‘Walk like an Egyptian’ and ‘Manic Monday’ on it. I wasn’t a big Bangles fan but will add it to my collection which brings the total to 568 albums. I am buying another one that comes out on the 18th or 19th which was never put on vinyl when it came out, only CD. Bob Seager’s “Face The Promise”, a fantastic rock and roll album from one of the masters. {A three song tease}

Before I open myself up to a heap of Internet abuse, a disclaimer. I love Rush, I love Geddy, and I am pretty Ok with Geddy's voice. That said...

Just imagine if Rush were fronted by a female lead singer with a voice like Anne Wilson's from Heart. My god!

Similarly, I have long fantasized about Roky Erikson singing Ramblin' Rose for The MC-5 rather than Wayne (who I also love). Whoa!

Just one dude's opinions. I may be wrong(-ish).

Rock-musiikin ensimmäisiä askeleita Suomessa syksyllä 1956: Turun poliisimestari kielsi sekä rock & rollin että sitä sisältävien elokuvien esittämisen kaupungissa.

I have advice for people: no matter how successful you are in Rock 'n' Roll music and the Hall of Fame, remember that blues scales originated from hardship. Remember where we came from. Live humbly.

“It is impossible to win gracefully at chess. No man has yet said “Mate!” in a voice which failed to sound to his opponent bitter, boastful and malicious.”*…

… but perhaps the offense is muted if the call is remote.

Electronic gaming is huge– and growing, As Rolling Stone reports…

The gaming industry, fueled by platforms like Twitch and YouTube, has surged into a multi-billion-dollar powerhouse, projected to exceed $207 billion in 2026. These platforms do more than showcase gameplay—they cultivate vibrant, interactive communities where fans engage in real time, from live chats to virtual watch parties. Games like League of Legends, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and Fortnite have become a cultural phenomenon, drawing in over 2.6 billion gamers globally, a number that continues to climb each year. Mobile gaming, accounting for over 60% of global gaming revenue, plays a significant role in this growth, making gaming accessible to a broader audience than ever before…

But as Danny Robb explains, using tecnology to play games remotely has a long history…

In 1897, the United States House of Representatives held a series of chess matches to find their most skilled players. The five winners were pitted against counterparts in the British House of Commons. But while the Americans sat down to play in Washington, D.C., their opponents sat in London. The players received moves by telegraph, and sent responses back over wires that crossed the Atlantic.

By this point, “cable chess” had been slowly evolving for decades. Historian Simone Müller-Pohl argues that this form of long-distance chess play offers insight into the cultural and political currents of the industrial era.

By the mid-nineteenth century, she explains, there was a growing sports culture in Europe and the US. Industrial technologies enabled more people to attend games and follow along from a distance. A growing middle class fostered this sporting culture, which came to include chess.

“Weekly,” Müller-Pohl explains, “the liberal and intellectual elites of the time assembled around chess boards in Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Moscow, Rome, and London.” Interest in the game spread, and chess clubs emerged. As clubs arranged tournaments and standardized chess rules, Müller-Pohl argues that chess “was gradually turned into a sport.”

Correspondence chess grew along with the game, in part thanks to cheap and efficient postal services. When the telegraph emerged on the scene, the application to chess was almost immediate.

“It was telegraphy’s fathers who pulled the strings behind the first schemes for cable chess,” Müller-Pohl explains. In 1844, inventor Samuel Morse arranged chess matches on a new telegraph line between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. “All of the 686 moves necessary for the seven games played were transmitted without mistake or interruption,” Müller-Pohl writes.

Not long after, in 1845, inventor Charles Wheatstone attended a demonstration in London. Chess legend Howard Staunton played against his rival George Walker over the South Western Railway line between Portsmouth and London. Müller-Pohl describes how witnesses found the match “rather tedious,” but it received a lot of press. This was partly the point—the matches demonstrated and advertised the capabilities and accuracy of the invention.

The Staunton match had another interesting aspect. Müller-Pohl points out that “the lines were still used for ordinary traffic during the games, allowing a group of chess players from Southampton to have every move telegraphed to them.” A bit like modern e-sports, spectators could observe the virtual match…

The early history of e-gaming– when telegraph cables let chess clubs stage matches across continents, linking players and spectators in a new kind of long-distance competition: “The First E-Sports? Chess by Telegraph,” from @inverting-vision.bsky.social in @jstordaily.bsky.social.

As we note that what’s old is new again, we might recall that it was on this date in 1958 that Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” was released. It peaked at number two on the Hot R&B Sides chart and number eight on its pre-Billboard Hot 100 chart. Considered “the first rock & roll hit about rock & roll stardom”, it has been covered by many, many other artists and has received many, many honors and accolades, among them being ranked 33rd and 7th, respectively, on Rolling Stone’s 2021 and 2004 lists of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included as one of the 27 songs on the Voyager Golden Record (a collection of music, images, and sounds designed to serve as an introduction and record of global humanity’s achievements, innovations and culture, to alien/otherworldly inhabitants).

Apropos the piece above, it was released by Chess Records.

#RockAndRoll 💀🎸🤘🎸💀
El 3 de febrero de 1959, los músicos de "Rock and Roll, *Buddy Holly*, *Ritchie Valens* y *The Big Bopper* (*J. P. Richardson*), junto con el piloto *Roger Peterson*, fallecieron en un accidente aéreo cerca de la pequeña localidad rural de 'Clear Lake', Iowa. Posteriormente, a este día se le conoció como "El día que murió la música" ("The day the music died"), después de que *Don McLean* se refiriese a él de tal forma en su canción «American Pie» de 1971.
En ese tiempo *Holly* y su banda, conformada por *Waylon Jennings*, *Tommy Allsup* y *Carl Bunch*, estaban tocando en una gira llamada "Winter Dance Party" por el centro de los Estados Unidos. Los artistas *Ritchie Valens* y *The Big Bopper* también se habían unido a la gira.
Los grandes trayectos afectaron a los artistas, quienes padecieron gripe e incluso congelamiento. Después de tocar en Clear Lake, Iowa, y frustrado por las condiciones climáticas, *Holly* decidió alquilar una avioneta con destino a su próximo evento de la gira en Moorhead, Minnesota. *The Big Bopper*, quien tenía gripe, tomó el lugar de *Jennings* en la avioneta, mientras que *Tommy Allsup* perdió el suyo con *Valens* en un cara o cruz.
Poco después del despegue, tarde en la noche y en condiciones climáticas adversas, el piloto perdió el control de la aeronave, una "Beechcraft Bonanza", y se estrelló en un campo de maíz a seis millas del aeropuerto; no hubo sobrevivientes.
Además de la canción de *Don McLean*, el accidente ha sido mencionado o mostrado en varias películas y canciones; se construyó un monumento conmemorativo cerca del sitio del accidente.
Después de que el show hubo terminado, *Anderson* llevó a *Holly*, *Valens* y a *Richardson* al Aeropuerto Municipal de Mason City. El clima al momento del despegue fue reportado como una ligera nevada, un límite superior de 914,4 metros con un cielo oscuro, una visibilidad de 6 millas (9.65 km) y vientos de 20 mph. A pesar de que mal clima había sido reportado a lo largo de la ruta de vuelo planeada, los reportes climáticos que recibió el piloto *Peterson* no tenían la información necesaria.
La aeronave despegó de manera normal desde la pista 17 (hoy es la pista 18) a las 12:55 a. m. horario central el martes 3 de febrero de 1959. *Dwyer*, el dueño de la compañía de vuelo, atestiguó el despegue desde una plataforma fuera de la torre de control. Pudo ver claramente la luz de cola de la avioneta la mayor parte del corto vuelo, que comenzó con un giro a la izquierda hacia el noroeste, y una altura de 800 pies (243 m). Se observó que la luz de cola descendió gradualmente hasta que desapareció. Alrededor de la 1:00 a. m. cuando se esperaba que *Peterson* se comunicara con la torre de control por radio, el operador de radio hizo diversos intentos por orden de *Dwyer*, pero ninguno tuvo éxito. La desaparición de la aeronave fue reportada dos horas después.
Más tarde esa mañana, *Dwyer*, quien no había sabido de *Peterson* desde el despegue, voló en otro avión siguiendo la ruta planeada de *Peterson*; en cuestión de minutos, alrededor de las 9:35 a. m., vio el sitio del accidente a menos de 6 millas del aeropuerto. La oficina del sheriff, alertada por *Dwyer*, mandó a *Bill McGill*, quien condujo hasta el lugar del accidente, un campo de maíz perteneciente a *Albert Juhl*.
La Bonanza impactó el suelo a una alta velocidad; se estima que debió haber sido alrededor de 170 mph (273,58 km/h) cargado hacia la derecha y en una posición en picado. La punta del ala derecha había impactado con el suelo primero, proyectando a la aeronave en maroma a través del campo congelado por 540 pies (164,592 metros) antes de detenerse incrustada en la cerca de la propiedad de *Juhl*.
Los cuerpos de *Holly* y *Valens* habían sido despedidos del fuselaje y se encontraron cerca del accidente. El cuerpo de *Richardson* había sido lanzado por sobre la cerca y acabó en el campo de maíz vecino, perteneciente a *Oscar Moffett*, mientras que el cuerpo del piloto *Peterson* quedó atrapado dentro del resto de la avioneta. Como el resto de la gira estaba en camino a Minnesota, la labor de identificar los cuerpos recayó sobre *Carroll Anderson*, el gerente de 'Surf Ballroom'. El forense del condado, *Ralph Smiley*, certificó que las cuatro víctimas habían muerto al instante, identificando la causa de muerte como "trauma severo al cerebro" para los tres artistas y como "daño cerebral" para el piloto.

Hoy, 8 de enero, se celebra el Día Mundial de Elvis Presley porque tal día como hoy, en 1935, nació en Tupelo (Misisipi) uno de los artistas más influyentes del siglo XX.
Elvis no solo cantaba: sacudió las caderas de una generación entera y puso patas arriba la música popular mezclando gospel, blues, country y rock and roll cuando eso aún parecía casi un sacrilegio.

Fue ídolo adolescente, estrella de cine, mito de Las Vegas y, con el tiempo, leyenda eterna.
Vendió más de mil millones de discos, marcó una estética, un sonido y una actitud, y demostró que la música podía ser provocación, emoción y espectáculo a partes iguales.
Lo llamaron “el Rey” y, nos guste más o menos, el trono sigue vacío.

Hoy no es solo un aniversario: es una excusa perfecta para subir el volumen, dejarse llevar por un viejo vinilo o recordar que la cultura pop también tiene historia… y caderas peligrosas
🕺✨🕺
