On this date in the world of musicâŚ
July 21st
1966 - Georgie Fame
Georgie Fame was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Get Away'. The song started life as a TV jingle for a petrol advert.
1969 - The Beatles
The Beatles started work on the John Lennon song 'Come Together' at Abbey Road studios in London. The track became the opening song on The Beatles Abbey Road album and was later released as a double A-sided single with âSomethingâ, their twenty-first single in the UK and twenty-sixth in the US where it reached the top of the charts.
1973 - Jim Croce
Jim Croce started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Bad, Bad Leroy Brown'. Croce was killed in a plane crash three months later.
1973 - Alex Harvey
Canned Heat, Nazareth, Edgar Broughton Band, Groundhogs, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Medicine Head, all appeared at Buxton Festival in Derbyshire, England. Hell's Angels arrived in force and proceeded to drink the site dry. Initially they paid for the booze, but when the money ran out a deputation was sent into the audience to collect donations of 10p per person. About 20 minutes into his set Chuck Berry was showing one of the Angels how to do his duck-walk properly. He did one from one end of the stage to the other and disappeared into the wings. The band played on, the Angels bopped, and Chuck legged it to his car and drove off at high speed, never to return.
1979 - Tubeway Army
Tubeway Army scored their first UK No.1 album with 'Replicas'. The band led by lead singer Gary Numan were the first band of the post-punk era to have a synthesizer-based hit, with their single 'Are 'Friends' Electric?'
1987 - Guns N' Roses
Guns Nâ Roses released their debut album on Geffen Records: Appetite For Destruction featured the singles 'Welcome to the Jungle', 'Sweet Child o' Mine', and 'Paradise City'. The album now has worldwide sales in excess of 28 million, 18 million of which are in the US, making it the best-selling debut album of all time there.
1990 - Roger Waters

Over 350,000 people attended and the event was broadcast live throughout the world, Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell, The Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Sinead OâConnor and others took part.
2002 - Gus Dudgeon

They had been driving along the M4 motorway on their way home from a party when Gus fell asleep at the wheel of the Jaguar XK8 convertible, crashing down an embankment at speed and ending up in a ditch.
2004 - Jerry Goldsmith
Composer Jerry Goldsmith died after a long battle with cancer aged 75. Created the music for scores of classic movies and television shows âStar Trekâ, âPlanet of the Apesâ, âThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.â and âDr. Kildare.â
2005 - Long John Baldry

NYU prof drools over Hugo Chavez at The Nation: Iâm âa useful idiotâ
New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/nyu-prof-drools-over-hugo-chavez-at-the-nation-im-a-useful-idiot/
NYU prof drools over Hugo Chavez at The Nation: Iâm âa useful idiotâ
http://twitter.com/#!/MattCover/status/309298809534545921
Liberal macro for the day: To be sure, Chavez was [brutality], but [dry hump].
â CuffĂŠ (@CuffyMeh) March 6, 2013
The dry humping began Tuesday night at The Nation with NYU professor Greg Grandinâs paean to Hugo Chavez.
The magazine that loved Stalin is back, baby! thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) March 6, 2013
Summary: @thenation praises Chavezâs authoritarian rule; craps their pants over Republican filibusters.
â Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) March 6, 2013
When youâre such a predictable stereotype that you donât even care if you appear like one, thatâs real freedom. thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) March 6, 2013
But it wasnât all breathless swooning. Evidently, the Venezuelan tyrant had his flaws â like not being âauthoritarian enough.â
He packed the courts, hounded the corporate media, legislated by decree and pretty much did away with any effective system of institutional checks or balances. But Iâll be perverse and argue that the biggest problem Venezuela faced during his rule was not that ChĂĄvez was authoritarian but that he wasnât authoritarian enough. It wasnât too much control that was the problem but too little.
Leftist magazine, The Nation, says Hugo Chavez wasnât authoritarian enough. Yet, Leftists still get offended when you call them commies.
â RB (@RBPundit) March 6, 2013
# The Nation magazine, a reliable friend of the left no matter how extreme, laments today that Chavez, like Obama, hadnât enough power.
â Jerry Carroll (@Jjc1Jerry) March 6, 2013
According to @thenation, Venezuela was simultaneously the âmost democratic nationâ and ânot authoritarian enoughâ: thenation.com/article/173212âŚ.
â Sean Davis (@seanmdav) March 6, 2013
The Nation Eulogizes Hugo Chavez: He âWasnât Authoritarian Enoughâ mediaite.com/tv/the-nation-âŚ
â Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) March 6, 2013
And then, a rare admission:
Writer for The Nation refers to himself as a âuseful idiot for Chavez.â Good Lord. thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â Kevin Eder (@keder) March 6, 2013
Really:
Iâm what they call a useful idiot when it comes to Hugo ChĂĄvez, if only because rank-and-file social organizations that to me seem worthy of support in Venezuela continued to support him until the end.
Useful idiot, indeed.
âIâm what they call a useful idiot when it comes to Hugo ChĂĄvez.â #agreed. thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â Daniel Drezner (@dandrezner) March 6, 2013
It will be interesting to see if The Nation condemns this like National Review condemned Derbyshireâs racist column thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â Jon Henke (@JonHenke) March 6, 2013
Er, donât hold your breath on that one. The Nation called Grandinâs eulogy âepic and extremely smart.â
Greg Grandinâs epic and extremely smart political obit of Hugo Chavez thenation.com/article/173212âŚ
â The Nation (@thenation) March 6, 2013
Related:
New York Times reporters swoon over tyrant who silenced Venezuelan press
Michael Moore recalls his special hour with Hugo Chavez, blaming Bush
Oliver Stone tweets that Chavez âwill live forever in historyâ
Jimmy Carter wants Hugo Chavez remembered for âgains made for the poor and vulnerableâ
Appalling: Media swoon over crooner Hugo Chavez; Just a âfirebrand,â âhero to Venezuelaâs poorâ
Foul: Rep. Serrano tweets rest in peace; Praises Chavez as âempowering the powerlessâ; Update: Doubles down, photo with Chavez

Why remembering the Austin clothing-optional apartments, here on this blog? Well, besides #inthespiritofdeepcreek - and general naturist #onceuponatime - ness, old news coverage shows that Jerry Derbyshire lived there, and this blog lives for all things Jerry Derbyshire. In the news coverage of "developments" at the apartments, in 1979, we read via the blog post linked here:
"Parker, though ousted as manager for sticking to some of the very wrong guns, remained a New Manor resident â and two years after its founding, saw the first undeniable violation of that physical aggression truce he took so seriously. The August 1979 death of 34-year-old resident Roy Allen Miller â stabbed at the New Manor pool and left to die on the diving board by two other residents, David McVey and Mark David Matthews, for reasons apparently related to biker gangs and/or their associated methamphetamine trade â forced change from even the communityâs most liberated."
From the Austin American-Statesman, October 7, 1979: "Today, under the new ownership of a Los Angeles-based investor, the complex is being redecorated and its idealistic no-rules ânon-aggression truceâ replaced by rules to live by, nude or clothed.
Longtime residents say the killing was an isolated dispute between some transient bikers. Jerry Derbyshire, 31, an Ohio transplant, one-year resident and freelance photographer who was hired as the new property manager, said it was the result of a laid-back lifestyle that had become too laid back.
âWeâre getting rid of the riff-raff,â he said, âthe transients trying to get their sâ together who were turning the place into a crash pad. Weâre cleaning up, fixing up, evicting slow-payers and seeking more families.â
âBefore, essentially all the management did was keep the pool water warm enough to make love in. Now, we have security deposits, maintenance and a straight, sensible business.â

On this cold and rainy SoCal weekend, I'm bringing back the images of freedom by photographer Jerry Derbyshire long celebrated here, and long censored by the machine of unfreedom that Tumblr -2.0 became. I've been looking back through the past of this blog, where censored posts are still visible to me, to find the Derbyshire photographs suppressed from Tumblr at the end of 2018. Here we go, naturism #onceuponatime, mostly from Lee Baxandall's Guide to Nude Beaches, but not only that.
