Confusion south of the border

Confusion south of the border:

 Mexico is caught between preaching sovereignty and a public fed up with crime. 

It would be better for President Sheinbaum to come clean and admit that these U.S.-Mexico operations were approved and stop all of the games about sovereignty. But this is Mexico, where standing up to the U.S., and specially Trump, is part of the game.

1947: Baseball said goodbye to Babe Ruth

On April 27, 1947, baseball said goodbye to the Babe.    He was very sick and would eventually die in February 1948.      

Every major league park remembered Ruth with a ceremony.   Of course, the highlight was Yankee Stadium and the Babe showed up.

April 27, 1973: Steve Busby no-hitter # 1

We remember Steve Busby who threw his first no-hitter on this day in 1973.     It was the first no-hitter of the DH era, or not having to face a pitcher batting.     

Busby pitched another no-hitter in 1974.    

His career ended due to injuries and then became an excellent baseball TV analyst with the Texas Rangers.

April, my brother and The Bee Gees many years ago!

In the spring of 1967, my brother rushed home with a new 45. (We were a couple of kids collecting 45s!)

It was Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb singing their first international hit: "New York Mining Disaster 1941"

Initially, many people thought that it was The Beatles.

Many thought that Bee Gees was "Beatles Group".

Eventually, the world realized that it was the Brothers Gibb, specially when they listened to the B-side, the wonderful "I can't see nobody".

Barry was 20 and Robin & Maurice were only 17. It was the beginning of the amazing worldwide career of the brothers!

1963: Peggy March and "I will follow him"

Some of you may remember “I will follow him” from “Sister Act”, the movie with Whoppie Goldberg…..

The original version goes back to 1963 when 15 year old Peggy Marsh (Margaret Annemarie Battavio) put it at # 1:

I WILL FOLLOW HIM

“Love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow

I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep A mountain so high it can keep me away

I must follow him, ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be 
And nothing can keep him from me He is my destiny

I love him, I love him, I love him And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever

I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away Away from my love

I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever

I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep A mountain so high it can keep, 
keep me away Away from my love

Do-do do-do-do do-do-do and where he goes
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow I know I’ll always love him…”
