However, though it lacks strings, "He's a Rebel" was the first number 1 hit to have that distinctive Spector trademark--the "wall of sound."

This song is important in musical history. From listening to it, can you guess why?

60 years ago, Billboard #8 for the week of Nov. 19, 1962: He's A Rebel - The Crystals https://youtu.be/aF7V2dSvxpo

It was produced by Phil Spector. It wasn't his first number 1 hit--that was "To Know Him is to Love Him" in 1958. (Yes, that's Spector on the guitar.) https://youtu.be/sV718cKqJLw

From the very top of Lamar Canyon, this area is one of my favorite hikes. There's everything up here, wolves, bears, elk, bison, mountain lions. It's always a great hike. In the distance you can see Slough Creek and beyond that to the right Electric Peak.

The captains of 10 European football teams wanted to wear a rainbow “one love” armband at the World Cup. Fifa threatened with fines, yellow card, even excluding players.

Once again, Fifa bows for fundamentalistic regimes, and runs away from human rights.

The world Cup 2022 Belgian football team has a label on the inside (!) of their shirts with the word ‘love’.

Fifa prohibits Belgium to wear the shirts. Unbelievable.

Sentencing can't happen for at least a couple of months in a federal case, and it'll be interesting to see whether the DOJ decides to retry her on the two hung-jury counts.

Hung jury on the two really big counts:

1) aiding and abetting in the theft of a laptop from Pelosi’s office

2) obstruction of Congress’ Jan. 6 proceeding

That second count has a 20 year max sentence.

J6 defendant files a sovereign citizen document to inform the court he's not a sovereign citizen.

Her original charges:

Verdict in the Riley Williams J6 criminal trial has been reached.

Swedish Law:
Between December 1 and March 31, it is legal to use winter tires if there are winter road conditions. It is forbidden to use studded tires during the time period 16 April - 30 September if there are not or expected to be winter road conditions.

This morning I had to help a family (ma, pa & 3 kids) get their fancy Benz out of the ditch they had (gently) parked it in... Why had they ended up there?
Because the stupid fucks still had summer tires on...

Ode to Not Watching the World Cup: This is an event of such astoundingly obvious wrongness that doing the right thing is easy. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2022/11/dont-watch-world-cup-morally-wrong-qatar/672192/

A very good sign. For your health & sanity, climb out of the hellscape. When these big accounts leave, it’s a message to all wavering. #Twitter
