Non-musical history for today: 1917 – Arabian troops led by T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") and Auda ibu Tayi captured Aqaba from the Ottoman Empire during the Arab Revolt. I'm sure you knew this, but yes, Lawrence of Arabia wasn't just a fantastic film (and it was), it was basically an (embellished) account and biopic. See the film if you haven't. The cinematography was out of this world. The score. Peter O'Toole. The whole thing. See it. Then tell me your thoughts on it. Music history,

Non-musical history for today: 1971 – The Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 years, was formally certified by President Richard Nixon. Vote. It seems voting is the only way we can end this nightmare. The midterms are getting here at a snail's pace. I apologize for the political heft of the last few posts. I know that's not why you come here or listen to the podcast. Right now, I'm not happy with my country. I do not like my country. My

The president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt, Adly Mansour, was declared acting president until further elections are held.Oh, how I wish we'd see something like this.

Non-musical history for today: 1698 – Thomas Savery patented the first steam engine. Now, if you're a fan of the Schoolhouse Rock series, you may be saying that Robert Fulton invented it. He did not, and the series didn't technically say that he did, only that he was connected to it. Fulton improved its design, but was not the inventor. Mr. Savery, an English inventor and engineer, was.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for July 2. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios

Non-musical history for today: 1858 – The joint reading of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace's papers on evolution to the Linnean Society of London occurred. I have nothing quippy about that to say. But... If this were a leap year, and this year is NOT, today would be the exact central point of the year. It would be 183 days in, and we have 183 days left. Even with a non-leap year, it's the closest we have, there are still 183 days left. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and

Non-musical history for today: 1934 – The Night of the Long Knives, Adolf Hitler's violent purge of his political rivals in Germany, took place. Yeah, I can see this happening again under the fascist who rules this country like he's a king or dictator today. "F" him and all he stands for, by the way.

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.

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!

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."

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. The earlier days of the NFL were so weird. You'd never see that in this day and age.
