Happy 61st birthday to the great Tracy Chapman.

Here is a 24-year-old Tracy Chapman forced to fill in at the last minute and leaving Wembley Stadium in silence with only a guitar and her voice (1988)

What a legendary moment.

Aretha Franklin was born OTD in 1942.
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Mrs. Murphy was Aretha's only fictional movie role. Unsurprisingly, The Queen of Soul gives a blistering performance, pink slippers and all, which introduced her to a younger audience and reinvigorated her career.

@treysutton7 @momo030468 With regards to Clear and Present Danger? I feel everyone has the right to speak and demonstrate peacefully whether a citizen or not.

@treysutton7 @momo030468 Demonstration must be peaceful. As a democratic republic, we must respect everyone, we don't have to agree, but we must respect, else that could be us next.

Super Sky Point to the great George Foreman. This one hurts. A kid who arrived on the national scene when he won gold in Mexico City in 1968 and waved American flags. Who became the most feared boxer of his era after destroying Joe Frazier and Ken Norton in a combined four rounds. An invincible force who was outthought and outboxed by an allegedly washed up Muhammad Ali in Zaire in 1974 and who retired three years later, exhausted after another upset loss and changed by the subsequent religious experience that prompted him to retire in his prime.

Big George left public life and went home to Texas for a decade before returning to boxing to raise money for his church. He was mocked for being fat and written off as a joke as he knocked over a slew of tomato cans. But he persevered to regain that heavyweight title he lost in that African night just over 20 years later at age 45 with a right hand that rendered an undefeated champion unconscious. “It happened! It happened!” shouted Jim Lampley as Michael Moorer laid on his back in a fog after meeting the same right hand that had separated so many other men from their senses.

He learned how to smile during his second act. Now bald and cherubic, the same folks who once feared him and teased him suddenly loved him. He became a genial teddy bear who made millions hawking that damn grill.

Goodbye to Big George, a man who achieved a dream he believed in for two decades - the dream only he thought was possible. A man whose goodness redeemed him from the darkness that prevented him from enjoying his initial fame, fortune, and acclaim. He won so much more in his middle age than that heavyweight crown he prized so much.

I never met George Foreman but I loved him. Rest in peace, champ.

I have tendered my resignation to my employer after 11 years of dedicated service, effective today.

Throughout my time, I have consistently delivered high-quality results that exceeded expectations. I am ready and open to the Mobile to New Orleans market or remote.

The cover photo shoot for “Coconut Telegraph” took place in Point Clear, Alabama, in 1980.
Jimmy had named the album, arranged for the back cover and record sleeve art, and asked me
to locate a pay phone near open water. Water was easy along Mobile Bay; but a pay
phone—not so much. Then I learned that Tommy Milham, in nearby Fairhope, made custom
wooden booths. When I gave him a call to explain what I needed, he told me that he had quit
making them, and had only one that he “might” rent to me for a day. Might? Did it have
sentimental value?
A major fan, Mr. Milham had been first in line to buy tickets for Elvis Presley’s last concert in
Mobile, in 1977. The local newspaper ran a story on him and, at the concert two weeks later,
Milham, in his front-row seat, held up the article’s headline. Impressed, Elvis offered him a
scarf. But Tommy pointed at the huge gold and diamond ring that Elvis had worn during over a
hundred concerts. To everyone’s surprise, Elvis gave him the ring. That got Mr. Milham a story
in the New York Times!
To thank Elvis for his generosity, Tommy crafted one last custom phone booth and ordered its
glass etched with the ring’s Russian czar’s crest design. Sadly, Elvis died before Mr. Milham
could deliver the gift. Two years later Jimmy Buffett got to use the Elvis Booth long enough to
stand for an excellent album’s cover photo.
