Today is one of the most overly-hyped/overpriced days of the year. A day where FTD, Hallmark, DeBeers, and Whitman’s can charge us out the wazoo without us complaining about it. I’m all for capitalism… but I can’t go for that, no can do. Besides Stephanie and I celebrate Valentine’s Day equivalent every day. But, for some context, there are a number of martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14, including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century. According to an early tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer.
Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for February 14.
Recorded in the Such-N-Such Media Studios at Liberty Plaza or Such-N-Such Media Studio South.
