ON this date in 1995 - "The Wizard of Oz in Concert" took place for a Children's Defense Fund.
The show featured Jackson Browne as the Scarecrow, Roger Daltrey as the Tin Man, Nathan Lane as the Cowardly Lion and Jewel as Dorothy.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple got roles in the Lollipop Guild and stole the show--quintessential munchkins; so disappointed when the show cancelled the US tour.
ON this date in 1998 - Scientists published a genetic study that showed strong evidence that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child (Eston Hemings) of his slave, Sally Hemings.
Fellow descendants of plantation owners Bun Man and Mr. Purple were so glad the focus was always on poor Thomas and not on their lineage.
Privately, the Boyz feared their ancestors had strayed a little also...
When the Boyz asked George and all his George sons why he invented that grill, George replied "I just figured I'd make money out of my grill, not throw it all away putting a grill in my mouth..."
George had a point...

ON this date in 1994 - George Foreman, 45, became boxing's oldest heavyweight champion when he knocked out Michael Moorer in the 10th round of their WBA fight in Las Vegas, NV.
Trained intensely by World Famous Trainers Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the Boyz kept George on a strict diet of freshly ground meat cooked on a Foreman Grill.

JUST GIVE ME THAT SWEET SOUL MUSIC
Recently in the gym, I've listened to soul music, this am, it was Kool & The Gang Radio on Spotify.
Soul music does indeed cleanse the soul, it is IMO the most loving music there is (I'm sure gospel fans are apoplectic right now) and I think one of the most compelling aspects of this music is it comes from people who have been treated horribly and unequally for centuries, and yet they find a way to love and to cherish and to have faith...
Sweet soul music
MT: Okay Students, get your workbooks out, those of you who follow science, we're going to learn counting, those of you who lost your shit years ago, we're going to learn more about how those freaking demonic pedophiliacs steal...
S of GOP P: Democracy is about compromise...

Math Teacher: Okay Students, get your workbooks out, we're doing our counting lesson.
Son of GOP Parent: We don't call that counting anymore
MT: What do you call it?
Son of GOP P: Stealing...

Franklin D. Roosevelt is first and only US president elected to third term (1940)
"Enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom."
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt
On this date in 1872, In the U.S., Susan B. Anthony was fined $100 for attempting to vote in the presidential election.
She never paid the fine.
Bun Man just turned to Mr. Purple and me and said, "Here we are 142 years later, and people are still fightin' for the right to vote w/out prejudice.
I know where my votes going, only your heart can tell you where to mark your ballot, but please exercise your right to vote--that should never be taken away from you.
KEEP TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT
Morning Peeps,
ADJUSTMENTS
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Teacup
Teacup: What up Dog?
KD: Dealing with time changes, bodies will be adjusting…
T: We adjust daily, it’s just one more…
KD: That’s a good point
T: What’s that?
KD: Life being a series of adjustments…
T: Seems some are more monumental than some others…
KD: I guess it also means it’s more chances to get it right.
When you lie, you act and respond differently, sometimes even pausingly.
Wondering how much spousal abuse will occur tomorrow when wives exit voting booths with a quirky, but assured smile?
On any given day, how many eggs are cooked at one Cracker Barrel restaurant?
