It’s time to indict Raul Castro
It’s time to indict Raul Castro:
With Cuba’s communist system now at the closest point it’s ever been to falling, it’s time to bring justice to a very evil human being.

We remember Cool Papa Bell (1903-1991)
(You can listen to my show. If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.)James Thomas "Cool Papa" Bell was born on May 17, 1993 and played his entire career in the Negro Leagues. He was one of the fastest men ever to play baseball. Satchel Paige once said this about him:
Like many Negro League stars, he played in Mexico and Cuba.
Bell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974 when many of the Negro League greats were added.
He was part of the greatest Negro League teams. Bell won many championships with the St Louis Stars, the Pittsburgh Crawfords, and the Homestead Grays. The 1935 Crawfords featured five future Hall-of-Famers: Bell, Oscar Charleston, Josh Gibson, Judy Johnson and Satchel Paige.“One Time he hit a line drive right past my ear. I turned around and saw the ball hit him sliding into second.”
Like many Negro League stars, he played in Mexico and Cuba.
Bell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974 when many of the Negro League greats were added.
We remember Maureen O’Sullivan (1911-1998)
In 1932, Maureen played "Jane" in a "Tarzan" movie along Olympic medal winner Johnny Weissmuller. It was a smash and several more movies followed.

Money problems and too many crazy lefties does not make for a winning formula.

Yvonne Craig, the "Batgirl" (1937-2015)
Who remembers "Batgirl"? Yvonne Craig was born in Illinois in 1937.
Most of us remember her as the young woman who fought the bad guys along with Batman & Robin. Yvonne Craig died from cancer in 2015.
I recall the show and specially Batgirl's good looks. She was an awesome looking Batgirl!

1966: “Pet sounds” released by The Beach Boys
(P.S. You can listen to my show. If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.)Once in a while, you need to get away from current events and check out some good music.
How about listening to The Beach Boys' “Pet Sounds”, released on this day in 1966?
How about listening to The Beach Boys' “Pet Sounds”, released on this day in 1966?
It ranks as one of the best albums in rock history. (In fact, it is ranked #2 in Rolling Stone’s Top 500 rock albums!)
“Pet Sounds” was way ahead of its time. It included songs and arrangements that defined Brian Wilson’s awesome talents and skills. My favorite is a tie between "God only knows" and "Wouldn't it be nice".
The Beach Boys were Brian Wilson (bass and vocals) and his brothers Carl (guitar & vocals) & Dennis (drums). The other members were Mike Love (vocals) and Al Jardine (guitar). Bruce Johnston also sang vocals in this album.
Most pop albums do not get better with age. In fact, they usually end up in a basement box or closet!
“Pet Sounds” gets better and better with age. It is not your usual 1960's LP, or a couple of hit singles and less memorable tracks thrown together to release an album.
Get a copy, put it in your CD player and you will see what I mean. Or better than that, check it out in a digital format.
