14th April 1976 - HMS Glasgow was launched, some other people were born. It's not a very eventful day.

Australia The Entertainer, Wednesday. April 3rd, 1976

MELANIE killed them at her performance at the Sydney Town Hall, and one member of the audience was moved to compare her with, dare we say it, Neil Diamond. He said he thought she established the same rapport with her audience as Diamond did with his Sports Ground Concert.

While Melanie's tour has had a few behind-the-scenes problems, it seems she is one who is only interested in performing. Her visit has been marked by the minimum of razzmatazz, which was quite a relief after the outpourings of schmaltz associated with the Diamond Tour.

Melanie Safka, apparently. Who hell she?

"It took American kids a while to catch on. "Bang a Gong" was a hit in America almost a full year after it topped the English charts. By then, (Marc) Bolan (of T Rex) had opened the door for other acts who subscribed to the decidedly English phenomenon of glam-rock, such as Sweet, Slade, Gary Glitter, and Mott the Hoople. Over the years, David Bowie would be elevated to superstar status as he developed glam-rock into a futuristic amalgam of sex and theater. Overshadowed by these later acts, Bolan's popularity decreased, despite his attempt to remain in the spotlight. While riding in a car driven by his girlfriend, Gloria Jones ("Tainted Love"), he was killed in a crash on September 6, 1977."

Apparently Television's "Elevation" was recorded (mostly, I suppose) on my birthday! I love that song. Also, Ian Krahe died in his sleep. Too bad. Thank you Elisabeth for these.

I found this diary entry and something about the interception and destruction of a satellite in space that took too long to load.


"13 September 1983:


We watched TV...after a while he said "Do you want to go to the bedroom and pretend we're listening to the radio?"...I knew what was coming. I was right. "

Perceived from this particular perspective, the killing of 13 soldiers by the LTTE, on 23rd July 1983, when the truck in which they were travelling hit a landmine on the Palaly Road in Thirunavely, is an incident that need not be seen as the cause of the outburst of well orchestrated violence that followed against innocent Tamil families, but as an occasion or a starting point to launch the mayhem.

Come along to the Village Hall on 23rd July 1983 where you can dance, or just listen to the music, to an All Steel Band - Starts at 7.30 pm until 11.30 pm.
Tickets will be available at a later date from Mrs. H. Hutton, Kiln Caravan Park, Sandford-on-Thames.

I was born on the same day as Homer J. Simpson!!!!!

Perhaps this fact will stop my youngest calling me "Mr. Burns" all the time.

Some Algerian protestors were shot, but that appears to be small beer to Google against important stuff like gigs by Bob Dylan, the Who, Frank Zappa and Judie Tzuke. Meanwhile those wacky goths up in Whitby put up a bench to commemorate the 68th anniversary of Bram Stoker's death.

"28th November 1982

Porch light stretches the shadow
from a ceramic deer
to the bank of snow
along Airline Road. One antler
is missing, broken last fall
blocking a pass
in a neighborhood football game.

Ankle deep caves in the snow
lead from pavement
to a boy
huddled within the deer's shadow.
His hands are cramped in pockets, chest
laid against thighs as he
bites the fold of denim and flesh
that covers one knee
to stop his teeth from chipping.
Yellow aluminum doors stand
beneath the porch light,

closed. He felt the bolt
lock two miles down Airline Road
between a jack pine and blue Chevy
Nova. Ton of steel, FM radio, and jasmine
scented air freshener could not
protect him from acne or turning
sixteen, too fast, on a small
frost covered curve of asphalt.
Keys left useless, hang
with the thickness of his breath

from a stalled ignition. He shifts on legs
numb with cold and lack of blood,
checks the carton of eggs at his feet
Mother asked him to get-
not one cracked. Movement hurts,
grief and fear crack inside him,
burning with his mother's voice
echoing, responsibility, in his head.
Its weight crushes him,
pushes him further and further
into the deer's shadow
and snow covered yard until he
feels the cold soaking through
his skin, melting
against the pain in his chest.

From a bay window
above the porch light,
a slit opens the curtains just enough
for his mother's breath to fog the glass
as she worries about a son
who, for the first time,
borrowed the car."

Fuck yeah, someone's written a poem about my essence.

November 2nd, 1976 - Jimmy Carter is elected President Of The United States.

I hate doing this, cause it means I have to admit my REAL age in public, but there was a hell of a doozie happenned the day I was born:

On 10th April 1970 Paul McCartney announced that the Beatles no longer existed.

Sigh. Auspicious or what?

Kate, Tuesday, 15 October 2002 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Share mine with Charles Bukowski & Madonna.

And Elvis died on that day in '77.
Nope, can't say I remember where I was.

16th March 1974:

Lance Corporal Philip D James, 22, 1 Para, killed when his four man patrol in countryside near Crossmaglen was ambushed near the border by IRA gunmen.

Duran vs De Jesus - Panama City, 16th March 1974
This action packed bout displays the continual and well publicised rivalry between these two great champions.

African Paints (Nig.) PLC was incorporated in Lagos.

Birthday of Joan the English Chick - a feminist bisexual Jewish pagan techno-geek with delusions of grandeur; a Pisces, a pianist, a Democrat, pro-choice, and a vegetarian.

Birthday of Heath Streak, excellently-named Zimbabwean fast bowler, and Narvik Sirhaev, footballer with Lokomotiv Moscow.

God that's boring!
