#OnThisDay February 22, 2000

Aaliyah's "Try Again" single hits the airways becoming #1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts!

I normally always double check my dates before I post them and I noticed Wikipedia now says this was released March 21, 2000? Not sure who keeps changing dates. Glad I print screened my sources. Even Apple Music and YouKNowIGotSoul still say it was released February 22. *shrugs*

Also, let's entertain the fact the song came out March 21 instead.... Why would the soundtrack come out on the 14th? Before any single is released? Who does that? Usually, there is a single to ramp up the excitement of the album/soundtrack.

Anyhoo... What's your favorite thing about this music video?

I always thought it was cool that she had JET LI in it. This was like.. his first ever music video debut.. right? She could have done that video ANY way and told a different story in the video of a guy liking a girl and being nervous to ask her out ... but she went this route. They looked like they had so much fun in that video. I loved it!

"𝕷𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊 𝖈𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖇𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖚𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖆 𝖜𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖓’𝖘 𝖑𝖎𝖋𝖊: 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖎𝖙 𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍𝖙 𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖙𝖔 𝖇𝖊." - Robert Southey 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷 Born on this day, 1816, Charlotte Brontë, along with her sisters Emily & Anne, is consider one of the greats of English literature. Her novel, 'Jane Eyre', is a gothic classic, and an important work of female writing. It is often quoted, and referenced, and marks the birth of the madwoman in the attic. On the way to becoming a novelist, however, Brontë was a poet. She had periods of great productivity: as a young teen writing a magical world of fantasy, as a young teacher displaying realism and reflection... And as a woman, in earnest, she sent a collection of her poetry to England's poet laureate, Robert Southey. Representative of his tone throughout, a portion of Southey's response is quoted above. She kept his letter, filing it “Southey’s Advice | To be kept forever.” Personally, I like to imagine that it lit a fire beneath her, rather than discouraging her... In 1846, 'Poems' was published - a collection equally representing the work of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. The collection sold badly. The following year, 'Jane Eyre' was published, after which, Brontë turned her hand at poetry only upon her sisters' deaths - these three unfinished poems, in their skeletal form, are perhaps her most gothic. 👉: Head to stories to read 'On the Death of Anne Brontë'. 🕷 📜: Read my review of 'Jane Eyre', on the blog. 🔗: Link in bio 🕷 🤔: Did anyone else watch the @nationaltheatre's (UK) adaptation of 'Jane Eyre'? I have a lot of thoughts... Would anyone be interested in a blog post? 📸: 2. 'Portrait of Charlotte Brontë', Evert A. Duyckinick, 1873.

🇺🇸 #onethisday 1944: World War Two: The Battle of the Hürtgen Forrest begins. The longest battle the US Army has ever fought, lasting until December 16. The Americans initiated the battle to hopefully tie down German forces there to stop them from reinforcing German defensive positions at Aachen, which the Allies where the Allies were currently attempting to capture. The US Army commanders were surprised by how fierce the Germans defended the area. At the start of the battle the Germans had just two division defending the area with about 6,000 men, but they were well trained and prepared. Little did the Allies know that the area they were attacking was the intended staging area for the Germans upcoming winter offensive in the Ardennes Forrest which would come to be known as the Battle of the Bulge. As the fight in the Hürtgen Forrest escalated the Germans threw more defenders into the fight, eventually bringing the number of divisions deployed to the battle at 14. Although the US Army had a huge advantage in men, equipment and air support, the rugged terrain of the forrest and the weather leveled the playing field. The battle was considered a German defensive victory and helped set the stage for the German Ardennes Offensive, aka the Battle of the Bulge, which caught the Allies completely off guard. US Army General Omar Bradley's First Army suffered 33,000 casualties in the battle. The Germans, under Field Marshal Walter Model, took 28,000 casualties. Elsewhere the Americans finally took Aachen on October 12 at great cost in men and equipment.
