Redbone in 1974, opening with a powwow dance intro. The band made history as the first Native American group to reach the Top Five on the Billboard Hot 100.
As crazy as it sounds, this is exactly how my school days were in Ecuador. Daily and weekend homeworks, and your backpack so heavy with books it looked you were going to an Andean expedition
It was like that all the way until I was 17
I know a number of British people who lived 1 to 2 years in Italy and then came back. The constant is that they have young children. Whatever they tell you, if you ask them about the Italian school system, they will eventually admit that it was, if not the main one, one of the critical items for them.
Italian primary school is much harder than the British one. An awful lot of Italian parents cope with that by literally abandoning their children to their own devices. Most take a more proactive stance, so they either start tutoring their children themselves (a couple of hours a day per child starting in year 1) or pay for tutors to do it in their stead. In primary school, British kids have homework once per week. Italian kids have homework once per day, doubled over the weekend. If you visit Italian homes in the afternoon and they have children, it is pretty standard to see the kids sitting at the main table with books and notebooks spread all around, with a parent or a tutor sitting with them for the whole session.
Also, the amount of books they have to carry to school every day is borderline unbelievable. You would think they are training them to carry legionary backpacks.
For people accustomed to the gentle British primary schooling, the Italian system feels borderline insane. Note also that it has massively eased up: in my childhood, we had to memorise a long poem every weekend (which back then meant Sunday, as Saturday was school day).

We selected Art Deco for the Motion Museum logo because it comes from the golden age of transportation - streamlined trains, ocean liners, and early aviation.
It also takes us back to the machine age, where optimism and speed were core to the culture.
Art Deco is Motion.
to replace SF transit with waymo we would need to knock over most of the buildings in the city to build more roads. waymo supporters suffer from severe innumeracy. the mathematical part of their brain isn’t developed.
You are responsible for what happens in your life, and, by extension, in your dating life.
No one else.
Not 'feminism'.
Not 'the destruction of the West'.
Not 'the death of old values'
Blah, blah, blah.
You.
