Non-musical history for today: 1927 – Samuel "Roxy" Rothafel opened the Roxy Theatre in New York City. It was the largest movie theatre ever opened at the time (a capacity of a whopping 5,920). The first film shown was the Gloria Swanson silent picture, The Love of Sunya. It was closed on March 29, 1960, and demolished. It became part of the Time-Life Building (or the ever-boring 1271 Avenue of the Americas as it is known now), part of the broader Rockefeller Centre complex. The last film shown was

Non-musical history for today: 1629 – Charles I dissolved the Parliament of England, beginning the eleven years known as the "Personal Rule." This was when King Charles I ruled as an autocratic absolute monarch without recourse to Parliament. Charles claimed he was entitled to do this under the royal prerogative and had a divine right. It sounds like what the Big Cheeto in Charge, the Copper God, is trying to do. Most of his sheeple would go along with it.Music history, album anniversaries,

Non-musical history for today: 1868 – Japanese samurai kill 11 French sailors in the port of Sakai, Osaka. The samurai were disbanded in 1870 and designated to the Shizoku (a distinct class between the kazoku and heimin (commoners) with no special class privileges). The title was solely on the register. The Shizoku were abolished in the revised civil code in 1947 after the Japanese defeat in World War II. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for March 8. Recorded in the

Non-musical history for today: 1836 – After a thirteen-day siege by an army of 3,000 Mexican troops, the 187 Texas volunteers, including frontiersman Davy Crockett and Colonel Jim Bowie, defending the Alamo, were killed, and the fort was captured. The Texians took it back a little over a month later. Remember the Alamo... and the state that wanted to be free of Mexico so it could own slaves. That's two countries they abandoned.

Non-musical history for today: 1770 – Five Americans, including Crispus Attucks, were fatally shot by British troops in an event that would contribute to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War five years later. This is known as the Boston Massacre. Stephanie and I stood at the site in 2018, and a particular wind came around us; a chill followed, and I thought I could almost hear the gunshots. It's eerie, and it's horrible. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for March

Non-musical history for today: 1336 – Four thousand defenders of Pilenai committed mass suicide rather than be taken captive by the Teutonic Knights. No one really knows for sure where the hill fort of Pilenai actually is, and while it is supposedly real, its obscurity is fodder for tall tales and legends. However, it is just another example of religious zealots imposing their will against those who are or believe differently than they do. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths

Non-musical history for today: 1903 – Cuba leased Guantánamo Bay to the United States "in perpetuity." I wondered how we could have a military base in Cuba when we can't go to Cuba and Cuba probably wants us out. What do they get in the lease? It's an annual ration of gold. All the numbers I could find was that in 1974, it was about $4000 a year. I'm surprised that Cuba hasn't tried (harder) to get out of the deal. Especially now.

Non-musical history for today: 1872 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened in New York City. It is the most-visited museum in the United States and the fifth-most visited art museum in the world after the Louvre (I've touched), Vatican Museums, The National Museum of China, and the British Museum (which I have stood in the courtyard of). And, while this is supposed to be "non-musical," I find it cool that two famous music pieces, Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville (1816) and Tchaikovsky's
