Tʜᴇ Kɪʟʟɪɴɢ Vᴏᴛᴇ
Thirty-five years ago, DC Comics opened a phone poll to kill Batman's child sidekick, Robin.
The poll was open to paying callers in the U.S. and Canada for a window of 35 hours, starting on 15 September 1988 at 9AM EST. There were two premium-rate phone numbers—one for Robin's survival, and one for Robin's death. Each paying caller could call multiple times. The results were decided by a margin of 72 votes out of a total 10,614 votes—the difference was just under 0.68%.
Now you decide.
KILL ROBIN
Jerry Smith of Covington, Kentucky claims to have sold his Mercedes-Benz to pay for votes to kill Robin
"Who Killed Cock(y) Robin? I Killed Cock(y) Robin" article by Glen Weldon (2008)
"1-800-DEAD-ROBIN" autobiographical comic by Tony Wolf (2015)
"We killed Jason Todd" feature by Matt Markman (2021)
SAVE ROBIN
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), a noted Bat-fan and scholar, denounced the episode as a "Roman gladiator-like readers vote."
"I loved him [...] I personally voted for him to live 100 times, and my mom flipped when she saw the phone bill," says magazine writer Savas Abadsidis.
MJG6 said: I was dead broke, working my way through college, but I voted. My first job was at a comic book store, making me an OG fan girl, I guess, and I encouraged people to vote to save him. [...] Because killing a teen, in a role kids are supposed to identify with, that was just sick.

Submitted arguments below:
Kill Robin
Anonymous propaganda IN FAVOR of killing the lobster the Robin!
I love Jason Todd. I love his post-crisis Robin days, I love his sense of justice and his adorable love of learning and his silly curly bangs! I say this to emphasize that I don't want him killed out of any dislike of the character.
I want him dead out of a love for storytelling that gets to stick to its guns and doesn't pull its punches. In context of the poll we readers have just seen Dick Grayson get kicked out of the role due to Bruce's fear of him getting hurt, then he turns around and gets a new Robin anyways because he misses him! I really like that Bruce is being messy and hypocritical! Let that have some real consequences please!
If there were no real consequences then Dick got shoved out of being Robin for what? Hairbrained overprotective worry? Why even change the way he graduated into being Nightwing so much then or heck why even kick him out in the first place?
One might argue that we haven't even given this Robin proper time to develop, that instead he might be taken in new and interesting directions as his own unique Robin shaping the mantle into a legacy rather than just something that was Dick's. I admit this is a very good point, and we are cutting off some possible interesting avenues. As I mentioned, I do like this character! But are we really going to get that?
If DC is already prepared to toss him out of this mortal coil and through the pearly gates after such a short while, do we really think we're going to get much more love and care applied to him?
I say let's roll the dice for something new! May the comics world and all these characters have to deal with the ramifications for many years to come!
Save Robin
robin’s death (and subsequent resurrection) is, frankly, an insult to robin fans of that era. to want to see this child get killed in a brutal manner for no apparent reason, to see jason essentially removed from the narrative so batman could go back to being gritty and depressed—this is awful to me. he hadn’t even been robin for very long!
but that’s not why he should’ve lived.
the resurrection of jason todd as the red hood was narratively interesting enough that it kept most fans of the original jason hooked, and it still does! he has become a prime example of a trauma survivor: his death changed him, and those who loved him have difficulty accepting that.
but there is no resolution to that story, nor was there a resolution to jason’s tenure as robin. dick chose to leave robin behind and take on a new mantle. tim, steph, both had robin taken away from them (and let’s forget about how tim is still robin, because that doesn’t matter right now). damian’s role as robin conflicts with his misconception of his role in the family. everyone else has had an ending, and jason’s death…well. after his resurrection, he has somehow remained stagnant and wildly inconsistent at the same time. this applies to under the red hood too.
at its core, utrh is a deeply classist retelling of jason’s life pre-death in the family. winick makes him a villain—albeit a sympathetic one—who fucks over or kills people that he would’ve thrown himself in front of to save as robin. in utrh, the implication is that jason had always been violent and angry (and morally compromised), and that he was destined to become worse.
it sometimes feels that jason’s transition into being the red hood (and all the characterization that comes with that) was a decision dc made for shock value. just from jason’s robin run, it’s difficult to imagine jason becoming the red hood. it doesn’t feel inevitable. it’s tragic.
ultimately, i believe that jason never should have died, and that his death was a stunt by dc for its shock value. jim starlin wanted jason dead because to him a child sidekick, in a medium that was originally made for children, was “sheer insanity”. he was fridged, plain and simple.

I have a few playlists with my favorite Elvis songs by theme. One of them is with my favorite songs in general, naturally. I listen to it in the shuffle mode when I'm not in the mood for listening to one specific album. Anyway, I just mentioned here the 1971 Love Letters From Elvis album and I was surprised with another amazing song from it just now.
I can't help but to share.

Dopo il lungo tour estivo il XXII Peperoncino Jazz Festival approda a Cosenza
Dopo il lungo tour estivo il XXII Peperoncino Jazz Festival approda a Cosenza.
Il Peperoncino Jazz Festival 2023 si appresta ad approdare a Cosenza, città che quest'anno grazie al forte volere della consigliera delegata alla Cultura Antonietta Cozza e del sindaco Franz Caruso e grazie anche alla grande disponibilità del dirigente del settore Cultura Giuseppe Bruno, domenica 10 settembre, ospiterà un'esclusiva giornata interamente dedicata al leggendario Miles Davis nel meraviglioso complesso monumentale di San Domenico.
Si inizierà nel tardo pomeriggio, intorno alle ore 18, con l'interessante Storytelling Multimediale avente ad oggetto la creazione di "Kind of Blue", album uscito nel 1959 a firma del grandissimo trombettista americano, considerato uno dei massimi capolavori della storia del jazz (oltre ad essere il disco di jazz più venduto di sempre con 4 milioni di copie, è uno dei primi esempi di modal jazz), nonché, più in generale, una pietra miliare nella storia musicale del '900.
Vincitore nel 1992 del Grammy Hall of Fame Award ed inserito nel 2003 al 12º posto nella classifica dei 500 migliori album di ogni tempo stilata dalla rivista Rolling Stone, l'iconico album verrà raccontato nel dettaglio da Alessio Laganà, operatore musicale reggino sempre attento alle nuove tendenze, da anni impegnato sul territorio calabrese come organizzatore di eventi e vinyl selector, che ha alle spalle anche una importante esperienza come tour-manager di artisti internazionali di grande fama.
Formatosi in Management dello Spettacolo presso l'Accademia "Teatro alla Scala" di Milano e da oltre un decennio collaboratore del Conservatorio di musica "Francesco Cilea" di Reggio Calabria, Laganà, attraverso immagini e filmati rari, aprirà metaforicamente le porte dello studio newyorkese della prestigiosa etichetta discografica Columbia Records, svelando tutti i retroscena e gli aneddoti legati alla sessione di registrazione più famosa della storia del jazz, facendo rivivere allo spettatore la magia di quella giornata di primavera del 1959 quando Miles ed il suo incredibile sestetto iniziarono a registrare "Kind of Blue".
Sempre domani, ma alle ore 21.30, invece, l'omaggio al geniale trombettista proseguirà con il concerto di colui che è stato, cronologicamente parlando, il suo ultimo tenorista: Rick Margitza.
Nato a Detroit in una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno paterno era violinista ungherese zingaro, il padre violinista della Detroit Symphony Orchestra, il nonno materno musicista per Glen Miller e Charlie Parker), Margitza ha iniziato a suonare in tenera età e oggi, avendo alle spalle 10 album da leader e importanti collaborazioni (oltre che con Miles, ha suonato in studio e live con McCoy Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson, Tony Williams, Eddie Gomez, Chick Corea, Maria Schneider, Dave Douglas), è considerato uno dei più acclamati e virtuosi sassofonisti della scena mondiale.
Nel corso della serata, che sarà ad ingresso libero, Margitza incontrerà musicalmente il trio del formidabile Elio Coppola, batterista napoletano che nonostante la sua giovane età si sta facendo prepotentemente strada nel panorama jazzistico internazionale e vanta collaborazioni con alcuni dei migliori musicisti al mondo (tra cui John Patitucci, Benny Golson, Joey De Francesco, Peter Bernstein, Dave Kikoski, Jerry Weldon, Gerald Cannon, George Cables, Dado Moroni, Ronnie Cuber ed Enrico Rava), formato da Enrico Zanisi al piano e Antonio Napolitano al contrabbasso, con cui proporrà una selezione di brani tratti dal repertorio dei songbook americano, nonché brani originali dei singoli musicisti.
Dopo aver fatto tappa nel capoluogo di provincia il festival organizzato dall'associazione culturale Picanto e diretto artisticamente da Sergio Gimigliano vivrà le sue ultime tappe all'insegna del progetto Women Jazz & Wine e le sue piccanti note risuoneranno nelle più belle cantine aderenti al Consorzio Terre di Cosenza.
XII PEPERONCINO JAZZ FESTIVAL:
Il XXII Peperoncino Jazz Festival, il cui progetto verrà presentato a valere sull'avviso pubblico "Eventi di Promozione Culturale 2023" della Regione Calabria nell'ambito delle attività relative al brand Calabria Straordinaria, è un evento realizzato con il contributo del Ministero della Cultura, con i prestigiosi patrocini istituzionali della Provincia di Cosenza, del Parco Nazionale del Pollino e Parco Nazionale della Sila, del GAL Riviera dei Cedri, di 30 amministrazioni comunali, dell'Istituto di Cultura svizzera Pro Helvetia, di Puglia Sound, oltre a quelli di associazioni quali i-Jazz, FAI, Touring Club Italiano, F.I.S. Calabria, Fondazione Premio Sila e C.O.T. Diamante & Riviera dei Cedri.
Le due tappe del festival in programma nell'edizione 2023 nella località lucana di Maratea sono realizzate con il contributo del Comune di Maratea e della Regione Basilicata.
Sostenuto da numerosi ed importanti Sponsor privati (tra cui Consorzio Vini Dop Terre di Cosenza, Gas Pollino, Pollino Gestione Impianti, Nuovo Imaie, Amarelli e Ottica Di Lernia), il festival gode del fondamentale supporto logistico di splendide strutture quali: Casa Alegrìa di Campotenese, Alia Jazz Hotel di Castrovillari, Hotel Ristorante Riviera Bleu di Diamante, il Grand Hotel San Michele di Cetraro, l'Hotel Santa Caterina e il Ristorante La Rondinella di Scalea, il Relais Il Mulino di Corigliano e il Minerva Resort Golf & Spa di Sibari, vanta prestigiose Media Partnership (su tutte, quelle di Jazzit, Il Quotidiano del Sud, L'Eco dello Ionio, Calnews, abmreport e Jonica Radio)....

THE RECORDING SESSION
Studio Sessions for RCA on June 6, 1970: RCA’s Studio B, Nashville
The last entry of the evening, “Heart Of Rome,” was an up-tempo dramatic ballad in the operatic vein of “It’s Now Or Never” or “Surrender”; it may have had a little more irony going for it than the earlier cuts, but by the end it had Elvis straining for the high notes — and the band struggling to keep awake.
Excerpt: "Elvis Presley: A Life in Music" by Ernst Jorgensen. Foreword by Peter Guralnick (1998)
The song was recorded on the same day as the hits "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" and "Just Pretend", as well as "I Didn't Make It On Playing Guitar", "It Ain't No Big Thing ( But It's Growing)", "This is Our Dance" and "Life".
It was past midnight when they were working on "Heart of Rome", the last song recorded that night. Elvis, the recording team and musicians spent about ten hours working at the RCA's studio during the Nashville sessions from June 4 to 8, 1970, reporting each evening at 6pm and working until the wee hours, wrapping up the sessions around 4:30 am. Elvis and his band recorded 35 masters over the five-days 1970 recording sessions in Nashville.
