Non-musical history for today: 1882 – American Old West: Robert Ford killed Jesse James. Couldn't have happened to a nicer a-hole. But, Ford was no angel, either. He had been part of the James-Younger Gang and secretly colluded with the Missouri Governor, Thomas Crittenden, to capture James and bring him in. Ford panicked, thinking that James was onto him, and when James got on a chair to clean a dusty painting, Ford shot James in the back of the head. Ford wired Gov. Crittenden to collect the

Non-musical history for today: 1812 – A political cartoon in the Boston-Gazette coined the term "gerrymander" to describe oddly shaped electoral districts designed to help incumbents win reelection. "Gerrymander" is a portmanteau (I like that word) of a salamander and former Vice President of the United States, Elbridge Gerry. Gerry, as governor of Massachusetts in 1812, signed a bill that created a partisan district in the Boston area that was compared to the shape of a mythological salamander (my

Non-musical history for today: 1765 – The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act that introduced a tax to be levied directly on its American colonies. The purpose of the tax was to pay for British military troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War, but the colonists had never feared a French invasion, to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the war expenses.[4] Colonists suggested that it was actually a matter of British patronage

Non-musical history for today: 1945 – Adolf Hitler issued his Decree Concerning Demolitions in the Reich Territory (aka "Nero Decree"), ordering all industries, military installations, shops, transportation facilities, and communications facilities in Germany to be destroyed.

Non-musical history for today: 37 – Roman Senate annulled Tiberius' will and proclaimed Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (aka Caligula = Little Boots) emperor. His reign was full of tyranny and debauchery. And it led to one heck of a (loosely-based) film in 1979. It's probably the most expensive of its kind. And, by "it's kind..." I'll let you figure that out if you don't know. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for March 18. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios

Non-musical history for today: 1985 – Serial killer Richard Ramirez, aka the "Night Stalker," committed the first two murders in his Los Angeles murder spree. I am fascinated by serial killers. Not in a "I'm going to become one" sense, but just that the whole thing is quite interesting. He was beaten by around 10 civilians when he attempted to do stupid stuff in their neighborhood. They held him down until the police could arrive. He ended up on Death Row but died from complications secondary to

Non-musical history for today: 44 BC – The assassination of Julius Caesar took place on the Ides of March. To be fair, he was warned. And, while, I don't wish for the aftermath to be the same, and I am not wishing for it to happen... what if we saw history repeat itself? They did it because they didn't want to see JC become a king. A little bit of history repeating. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for March 15. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty
