46 years ago today, April 18, 1980, 🇬🇧the Clash made their American TV debut live on ABC’s sketch comedy series “Fridays” performing “London Calling” and “Train In Vain”.
Intro by show’s announcer, the late Boston veteran actor and comedian Jack Burns.
Addressing thousands of people in St. Peter's Square, Pope Leo said God “does not listen” to leaders who start wars and have “hands full of blood,” warning Jesus cannot be used to justify conflict.
As the Iran war enters its second month, he renewed calls for a ceasefire.
After praying the Angelus, Pope Leo calls for an end to violence around the world, urging everyone to persevere in prayer because “we cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, innocent victims of these conflicts.”
Visitors flocked to Kew Gardens to admire Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom near the Palm House, signaling the seasonal arrival of cherry blossoms in London
Always love to hear this tune on St. Patrick’s Day. This is Sean Connery in one of his first leading roles, “Darby O'Gill and the Little People" (1959).
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Happy St. Patrick's Day
(From the "St. Patrick's Breastplate" Prayer)
This was what running through Golden Gate Park looked like at 99. In San Francisco in 1966, Larry Lewis ran six miles every morning, rain or shine, while the city was still asleep.
Lewis later worked as a waiter at the St. Francis Hotel and remained active well past 100. On his 102nd birthday, he celebrated by running 100 yards in 17.3 seconds, faster than the year before. He joked that the improvement came from wearing proper running shoes instead of street shoes.
Raised on a Navajo reservation in Arizona, Lewis left home at 15 to join the P. T. Barnum Circus as an acrobat and aerialist. He claimed to have worked for decades as Harry Houdini’s assistant and lived to the age of 106, passing away on February 1, 1974.
