Non-musical history for today: 1786 – The first federal Indian Reservation was created. While governance is "autonomous," they are really at the mercy of the US Congress.

Non-musical history for today: 1965 – Frank Herbert's novel, Dune, was published for the first time. It was named the world's best-selling science fiction novel in 2003. I never read it (because I really hate reading), but have seen both big-screen versions and enjoyed them both very much. The 1984 version for the schlock value and the 2021/2024 versions for the stunning visuals. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for August 1.

Non-musical history for today: 1836 – Inauguration of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It stands in the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, where a wagon-spoke-like road system happens. TWELVE roads stem from the center. Let me tell you, you better know which one you need because Parisians don't like you being in their way. It's the only time I've seen Parisians angry (contrary to American conjecture). Napoleon commissioned the monument. It honors those who fought and died for France in the French

Fearing another Reign of Terror, conspirator Jean-Lambert Tallien (whom Robespierre correctly suspected) turned the convention on

Non-musical history for today: 1861 – The United States Congress passes the Crittenden–Johnson Resolution, stating that the war was being fought to preserve the Union and not to end slavery, in the wake of the defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run.

It said so in more than three of the states' succession documents. A bunch of mouth

Non-musical history for today: 1567 – Mary, Queen of Scots, was forced to abdicate and be replaced by her one-year-old son James VI. To be fair, the road had been long for Mary anyway. I don't think she wanted to be queen. But, for a one-year-old, she had to stay around. But, I'm sure men ran the show, because... how could they not. They didn't hold women in high regard.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for July 24. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty

Non-musical history for today: 1833 – The Slavery Abolition Act passed in the British House of Commons, initiating the gradual abolition of slavery in most parts of the British Empire.
