Non-musical history for today: 1956 – The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, officially creating the United States Interstate Highway System. The supposed requirement that one of every five miles must be straight to permit airplanes to land in case of emergency is false. While some sections of Interstates are straight, this is due to various factors like terrain, cost, and the location of cities, which are not mandated design features. Music history, album

Non-musical history for today: 1969 – Stonewall riots began in New York City, marking the start of the Gay Rights Movement. I have stood in the memorial park in front of what was the Stonewall Inn (or at least what is purported to be it). It is sombre. It is powerful. It is shameful. Not what the rioters did, but what the police did (was doing, has been doing, is still doing) to sexual minorities. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for June 28.

Non-musical history for today: 1556 – The thirteen Stratford Martyrs (11 men and two women) were burned at the stake near London for their Protestant beliefs. What would they have done to atheists? Also... 1844 – Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and his brother Hyrum Smith were killed by a mob at the Carthage, Illinois jail. The Nauvoo Expositor newspaper had been newly established by anti-polygamist ex-Mormons who had recently been excommunicated from the Church of Jesus

Non-musical history for today: 4 – Augustus adopts Tiberius. Now, the thing to know is that Tiberius was in his 40s when this happened. And that may sound odd, but Livia Drusilla, his mother, divorced his father, Tiberius Claudius Nero, and married Augustus. Augustus' two heirs, his grandsons Gaius and Lucius Caesar, had died mysteriously, so he adopted Tiberius as his successor. Clear, now? I hope so.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for June 26. Recorded in the Omniverus

Non-musical history for today: 1611 – The mutinous crew of Henry Hudson's fourth voyage set Henry, his son, and seven loyal crew members adrift in an open boat in what is now Hudson Bay; they are never heard from again. They tried to row along, and the mutineers were all for letting them, but then they became bored quickly and unfurled more sails to speed themselves onward. And it would have been my maternal grandmother's birthday today. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths

Non-musical history for today: 1633 – The Holy Office in Rome forced Galileo Galilei to recant his view that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of the Universe in the form he presented it in, after heated controversy.

United States, 238 US 347 1915, striking down Oklahoma's grandfather clause legislation, which had the effect of denying the right to vote to blacks. Tell me you're racist without telling me you're racist... Also, happy 57th anniversary to my parents on the longest day of the year! Thirdly, and finally, today is the 39th anniversary of my family's move from West Virginia to WSNC. Music history, album

Non-musical history for today: 1863 – West Virginia was admitted as the 35th U.S. state during the Civil War. Not a lot I am proud of about my home state these days (politically, mostly), but they at least broke free from the rebellious Confederacy because they wanted no part of that madness. There are other reasons, too, but good for that. Beautiful state in most places. Still would not want to live there. Sorry, WV, you were once "almost heaven." And, as a follow up to a few days ago... 1893 –

Non-musical history for today: 1943 – The Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL merged for one season due to player shortages caused by World War II.

Non-musical history for today: 1667 – The first human blood transfusion was administered by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Denys. With the help of a barber who was also a "surgeon," he put lambs blood into a young boy who had suffered from non-stop fevers. Supposedly, the next day, the boy was alert and fine. I have my doubts.
