Growing up,
I heard the rumors that Paul McCartney died in the 60s and was replaced with a look-alike to keep the money rolling in band together.
But I did not realize that it was on this day in 1966 that he died.
Supposedly.
Maybe.
If you believe.
Who knows?
We can't ask John or George.
Perhaps we can ask William Campbell.
Or maybe Bill Shepherd.
Or was it Billy Shears?
Wait!
Maybe Ringo knows …
And speaking of musical oddities …
This is a something that I think only two or three of my readers may appreciate
(if that many)—a recording of MC 900 Ft. Jesus performing
live at Good Records in Dallas, Texas.
The sound quality could be better,
but for someone who quit the industry in 2001,
it was surprising to see him perform in 2017.
And it's a shame he stopped recording,
because his music is very unique—something like a cross between rap and jazz.
Jazzrap?
Rapjazz?
Something like that.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
