Happy 30th Anniversary to the George Carlin album Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics which is based off his HBO special Doin' It Again. This bit on Euphemisms is one of the greatest things I've ever heard on comedy and a reason why Carlin was a genius.

 Can't believe I forgot to post this last week. November 5th is a huge anniversary in science as it's the 65th Anniversary of the day Doc Brown invented time travel. Back in 1985, he remembered it vividly. He was standing on the edge his toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, he slipped, hit his head on the edge of the sink. When he came to he had a revelation, a vision, a picture in his head of what makes time travel possible: The Flux Capacitor. It took him almost 30 years and his entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day. My god, has it been that long. Also in 1985, he realized a lot has changed over the years. He remembered when Twin Pines Mall was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Old man Peabody owned all of it and he had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.

Today is the 65th Anniversary of lightning striking the Hill Valley Clock Tower, the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Marty McFly going back to the future, Marty burning the sports almanac, and Doc getting sent back to 1885 when lightning hit the DeLorean. Amazing how so many things can happen in one day in one city.

Mother Love

Happy 25th Anniversary to Queen's last album Made in Heaven. Released four years after Freddie Mercury's death, it features his final recordings he did in 1991 that were completed years later by the surviving members as well as songs from his solo album with the music redone to sound like Queen songs.
This song here is Mother Love, the final song Mercury worked on during May 1991. Sadly, he only completed 2/3rds of the song before his health further declined and he died in November 1991 before he was able to finish the song so Brian May sings the last verse.

 Very sad to hear the passing of Sean Connery but the plus side, 90 is a long and great life. What can I say, he was a giant in film and one of those guys you can't believe would ever die. Women wanted him and men wanted to be him. Suave, a bad ass, and a man's man. Obviously, he'll always be remembered as James Bond and was a huge reason why the Bond series is one of the greatest franchises in movie history. Along with his seven outings, he was also great in The Untouchables (which he rightfully won an Oscar for), Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and The Rock to name some.
