This Month In History - November Part 2

This is quite a month for pop culture anniversaries. For Part 1 read here. Here is Part 2:

Nov. 10, 1969: Sesame Street premieres

In Nov. 1969, the children's educational TV institution known as Sesame Street premiered on public television. It was quite revolutionary. It was a show for kids with valuable life lessons, but told in a way that was also entertaining for grown-ups watching with the kids. Best of all it featured Jim Henson’s Muppets. More than anything, the show had and still has an important message about respect, decency and equality. A neighborhood where people and puppets of all different colors can play and work together. When I was growing up, I was a fan of the show. I especially liked Burt and Ernie, The Count and Kermit the Frog. Years after I outgrew Sesame Street, I would watch it as I babysat when I was a teen and realized some of their humor was really sharp, i.e. their Twin Peaks parody “Twin Beaks” or the Pearl Jam parody Fur Jam performing “Don’t Waste the Water”. In recent years I watched Sesame Street with my son, who liked the show too! How many TV shows began 55 years ago and are still just as good if not better than when they began? Happy 55th Sesame St!

Nov. 10, 2014: Sonic Highways released

In Nov. 2014, Foo Fighters' highly ambitious 8th album was released. The band went to eight different cities, studied the musical history of each city and recorded a song in each city with producer Butch Vig. There was an accompanying documentary series on HBO as well. The band remains themselves in each city and there's some serious bangers here and some cool guests like Scream's Pete Stahl. I included this in my Best Albums of 2014 list as well as my Best Albums of the 2010s. It's an album that doesn't get enough credit from them, but should. Happy 10 Sonic Highways!

Nov. 15, 1974: Desolation Boulevard released

In Nov. 1974, The Sweet's third and best album was released. I first discovered the British glam rock band through 80s glam metal, much of which was heavily influenced by them. As a teen, I checked this album out of the library, recorded it onto a blank tape and listened to it countless times. In addition to “Ballroom Blitz” (later covered by Tia Carrere for Wayne’s World, which also featured the original), the album had “The Six Teens”, “No You Don’t”, “Sweet F.A.”, and one of my favorites “Fox on the Run” (featured on the soundtracks to Dazed and Confused and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). In 2021, I got to interview guitarist Andy Scott about the band's album Isolation Boulevard and he said "What better way than creating a similar path that our 1974 album, Desolation Boulevard produced. With that in mind Isolation Boulevard in 2020 was a piece of cake and the results speak for themselves." Happy 50th Desolation Blvd!

Nov. 16, 1979: Night in the Ruts released

In Nov. 1979, Aerosmith's 6th studio album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 45th NITR!

Nov. 16, 1984: Night of the Comet opens

In Nov. 1984 one of the best valley girl movies was released, this one a sci-fi horror movie. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019 and here is my brief interaction with star Kelli Maroney at the 2018 Rock and Shock. Happy 40th NOTC!

Nov. 16, 2009: Them Crooked Vultures released

In Nov. 2009 the debut album from supergroup Them Crooked Vultures was released. Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin came together for a rocker of an album. Even before this album was released, the band was announced and they did a mini-tour. I was lucky enough to see their 2009 show at Roseland in NYC and was highly impressed. The album sounds like Homme and his QOSTA tendencies took over much of the album which is too bad considering the other two, but it was a joy to hear these three playing and riffing off each other. Happy 15 TCV!

I'm thrilled to have "Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath" by Heather Clark in my hands. This monumental biography, spanning over 1,000 pages, offers a detailed and comprehensive reappraisal of Plath’s life and work. Through deep analysis and unprecedented access to unpublished letters and archives, Clark paints a nuanced portrait of Plath, highlighting her brilliance and the complexity of her life beyond the tragic myths that often surround her. I can't wait to dive into this read and discover new facets of one of the most important, iconic and enigmatic poets of the 20th century.

moodboard: kimberly from comet (2014)

"it's beautiful when the weather is not hot or cold. kinda like you don't notice it. kinda like it's perfect because everything is so balanced. you don't even feel it. and while you're feeling that non-feeling, you look up in the sky and you almost think - that's why. because how everything is right now, all the stars and planets and us and the ground, and the cells and molecules right now... is exactly the reason why now is comfortable."

A Kilometer High Cliff on Comet Churyumov - Gerasimenko Image Credit & Licence (CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO): ESA, Rosetta spacecraft, NAVCAM; Additional Processing: Stuart Atkinson

Explanation: This kilometer high cliff occurs on the surface of a comet. It was discovered on the dark nucleus of Comet Churyumov - Gerasimenko (CG) by Rosetta, a robotic spacecraft launched by ESA, which orbited the comet from 2014 to 2016. The ragged cliff, as featured here, was imaged by Rosetta early in its mission. Although towering about one kilometer high, the low surface gravity of Comet CG would likely make a jump from the cliffs by a human survivable. At the foot of the cliffs is relatively smooth terrain dotted with boulders as large as 20 meters across. Data from Rosetta indicates that the ice in Comet CG has a significantly different deuterium fraction -- and hence likely a different origin -- than the water in Earth's oceans. The probe was named after the Rosetta Stone, a rock slab featuring the same text written in three different languages that helped humanity decipher ancient Egyptian writing.

hi! was wondering if you knew anything about a play adaptation of comet in moominland, where apparently snufkin and moomin were supposed to kiss? i personally cant find anything about it besides an image which appears from a book of some sort, and i would like to know more! thanks x

Darn, I was hoping there'd be no need to debunk this rumour anymore 😂 ah well, it's still fun to talk about.

So the play is Mumintrollet och kometen (1949), but unfortunately the kiss thing is a misunderstanding that comes from a mistranslation in the 2014 English hardback edition of Tove Jansson's biography by Boel Westin, where this set design sketch:

was captioned "the kiss scene", most likely a mistranslation of the Swedish word for "sketch", "skiss". I went into it a little more in this post.

You can find actual info on the play on moomin.com and in various texts about Tove and the Moomins.
