Non-musical history for today: 1942 – Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday. She literally wrote “history” with it. At least from her perspective. She died less than two years later.

Non-musical history for today: 1937 – The Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, executes eight army leaders in the “Great Purge.” And I read this weekend that Stalin was supposed to be a “compassionate” leader…? I dunno.

Non-musical history for today: 1973 – In horse racing, Secretariat won the U.S. Triple Crown. This was accomplished by winning the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. There were eight horses to accomplish that feat before Secretariat, and four did it afterward. The most recent was in 2018, when Justify won it.

Non-musical history for today: 2023 – Then-Former President Donald Trump was indicted on federal charges of misusing classified information. One of many convictions he would receive. If any of those had stuck or his supporters had stuck or people had considered that more than “sham witchhunt” rhetoric, we may have avoided the destruction of democracy that we face today.

Non-musical history for today: 1899 – American Temperance “crusader” (read: whackjob) Carrie Nation began her campaign of vandalizing alcohol-serving establishments by destroying the inventory in a saloon in Kiowa, Kansas. Awareness is better than abolition. Learning how to control your drinking should be emphasized above punishing everyone who may drink.

Non-musical history for today: 1896 – Henry Ford completed the Ford Quadricycle, his first gasoline-powered automobile, and gave it a successful test run. I can’t wait until someone does something that runs on water or just air. I don’t have faith in EVs, and how are you going to travel long distances in a car that you have to recharge every 200 miles? I know you fuel up with gas, but that takes five minutes.  Unless I’m wrong, and I could be, you’re not charging a car in five minutes. That takes a bit more time.

Non-musical history for today: 1943 – In Los Angeles, white Navy sailors and Marines attacked Latino youths in the five-day Zoot Suit Riots. Not just a clever song by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, unfortunately, the riots were a real thing. Not only in LA but also in Detroit, Mobile, New York City, and Beaumont, Texas. Whilst I can’t quite figure out what was going on, it seems that the Zoot Suits themselves were setting off tempers because there was a lot of material for the suits and, during WWII, you reserved all you could for the war effort (which is dumb). While most of the white mobs targeted Mexican American youth, they also attacked African American and Filipino American young adults and children. Just one more example of how “important” and “entitled” some white people think they are.
