The key moment in the self-destruction of the once great American city of Detroit over the past half century can be dated precisely to July 23, 1967, when blacks began the Detroit Riot. Before 4,700 paratroopers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions finally halted the orgy of criminality, African Americans had looted 2,500 stores and burned down 400 buildings in their own neighborhoods. The next year, 80,000 whites moved out of Detroit. (In 2017, the total population of Detroit is almost a million lower than fifty years ago.) Of course, today we are instructed to think of these white refugees from black violence not as victims but as perps. Almost nobody is ...

12 Good Ol' Facts About 'The Dukes of Hazzard'

When The Dukes of Hazzard premiered on January 26, 1979, it was intended to be a temporary patch in CBS’s primetime schedule until The Incredible Hulk returned. Only nine episodes were ordered, and few executives at the network had any expectation that the series—about two amiable brothers at odds with the corrupt law enforcement of Hazzard County—would become both a ratings powerhouse and a merchandising bonanza. Check out some of these lesser-known facts about the Duke boys, their extended family, and the gravity-defying General Lee, which made their small-screen debut 38 years ago today. 1.

I have waited 60 years for this.Not really. That's because I would not, in my wildest imagination, have imagined it could happen.There is a movie on Florence Foster Jenkins. Even more amazing, it is titled Florence Foster Jenkins.It doesn't ring a bell, does it?It rang a bell for me.In 1956, I was working at a record store. It was my first regular job. Another employee, Lype O'Dell, who later became an actor, recommended that I listen to a 10-inch LP record. It was titled simply Florence Foster Jenkins. The cover was a tipoff, but I was naïve. I did not see what was coming. Then he put it on the turntable and had me listen. I could not believe my ears.I read the liner ...

The Most Ridiculous Teen Tragedy Songs (ever) [Full Thread]
Post Date: 2015-11-28 16:41:00 by Bill D Berger
49 Comments
Next1 / 11 The teen tragedy song genre was exactly what it sounds like: pop/rock music that focused on the bittersweet relationship between two young lovers. One of them winds up dead. There were multiple variations of the theme, which was a hit during the 1950s and ‘60s, and contemporary groups have parodied or performed their own versions since then. Today marks the anniversary of one of the most popular teen tragedy tracks, “Leader of the Pack” by The Shangri-Las. We’re celebrating the dead sweethearts of yore with a look at some of the more ridiculous takes on the genre (although they were all pretty over-the-top). Brace yourself for overwrought lyrics and ...

B-52 in the air It was at the vanguard of aviation technology in the 1950s, and it's still going strong today: meet the B-52 Stratofortress. Like the multipurpose C-130 and the high-flying, super-spying U-2, also products of the '50s, the B-52 heavy bomber continues to show that old doesn't have to mean outdated, even in an era of rapid technological change. Just the opposite: through good maintenance and occasional updates, vintage tech can hold its own against flashier but more expensive, and more ...
