Non-musical history for today: 1547 – Edward VI of England was crowned King of England. He was the son and heir of King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. He was the first king to be raised protestant after his dad basically created COE so he could get divorced. I figure beheading so many ex-wives got messy. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for…
Non-musical history for today: In 1847 – The first group of rescuers reached the Donner Party. It wasn't a malicious cannibalistic thing. They ate people who had succumbed to the cold Sierra Nevadas weather. They did what they had to to survive. But, still, we don't like talking about it. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for February 19. Recorded in the Such-N-Such…
Non-musical history for today: In 1878 – John Tunstall was murdered by outlaw Jesse Evans, sparking the Lincoln County War in Lincoln County, New Mexico.

Non-musical history for today: In 1879: Women's rights: US President Rutherford B. Hayes signed a bill allowing female attorneys to argue cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. That was mighty progressive of him (picture me rolling my eyes). There should never be any doubt that a woman is equal (or better) to any man.

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…
