‘El conejito malo’ forgot that the audience ‘no habla español’
So the whole thing was a bad idea. Woke gone mad or the NFL forgetting that this is a football championship, not the woke Oscars.
It’s time to bring back some college bands and let the public enjoy the show in peace.

Happy # 77 to Ben Oglivie
Ben grew up in New York City and attended Roosevelt High School and later Wayne State College in Detroit.
Oglivie broke with the Red Sox in 1971 and traded to Detroit in 1974. His career really blossomed when he was sent to Milwaukee in 1978. As a Brewer, Oglivie hit .277 with 176 HR & 685 RBI in 9 seasons. He led the AL in HR in 1980: .304, 41 HR & 118 HR.
Happy Birthday Ben Oglivie!

We remember Sergio Mendes (1941-2024)
We remember Sergio Mendes, a very talented Brazilian band leader, who was born in Rio de Janeiro on this day in 1941. He died in 2024.
Mendes recorded my favorite cover of a Beatles' song. His version of "Fool on the hill" is great. It is creative and sounds great because it is Sergio Mendes rather than someone trying to imitate The Beatles.
Here is the Mendes' unique arrangement!

1945: The Yalta Conference between Stalin, Churchill and FDR
We remember the Yalta Conference of 1945 between PM Churchill of the UK, President FD Roosevelt of the US and Premier Stalin of the USSR.
Unfortunately, PM Churchill turned out to be right about "The Iron Curtain" and Eastern Europe. In less than a year, the Red Army marched into Romania, Poland and other countries. It took almost 50 years to drive them out!

We remember Roberta Flack. (1937-2025)
We say happy birthday Roberta Flack who was born on this day in 1937 in North Carolina. She died in 2025.
As a young woman, Roberta Flack loved classical piano and won a music scholarship to Howard University. She became a music teacher after graduation and sang at a club to make a little extra money. Eventually, someone heard her lovely voice and the rest is music history.
Her first hit was "The first time ever I saw your face", an absolutely amazing vocal performance. Intense and lovely!
Her second song was "Killing me softly" in 1973.
