Non-musical history for today: 1914 – The Ford Motor Company announced an eight-hour workday and a minimum daily wage of $5 in salary plus bonuses.

In today’s money, it would be ~$125 per hour.Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for January 5. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast

But, supposedly, if you look hard enough, you can still find the video of the execution. However, why you’d want to see it? I wouldn’t get

Non-musical history for today: 1955 – Following the assassination of the Panamanian president José Antonio Remón Cantera, his deputy, José Ramón Guizado, took power, but was quickly deposed after his involvement in Cantera’s death was discovered.

Non-musical history for today: 45 BC – The Julian calendar took effect as the civil calendar of the Roman Republic, establishing January 1 as the new date of the new year. But because it made the equinoxes fluid, instead of being on the 21st of March and September, they were coming earlier and earlier… and also, leap years were happening erratically. Pope Gregory XIII introduced a new calendar in October 1582, which shortened the year by 0.0075 days. It may not sound like a lot, but to make up

Non-musical history for today: 1759 – Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease at £45 per annum and started brewing Guinness. That would be around £11,000 today.

Non-musical history for today: 401 – Pope Innocent I was elected, the only pope to succeed his father in the office. Now, there’s debate as to whether he was actually the son of Anastasius I. Still, regardless of actual lineage, the fact that it hasn’t happened since (or before) is amazing seeing how many Popes there have actually been (267 officially, 268 unofficially).

Non-musical history for today: 1944 – The Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Korematsu v. United States, supporting Franklin D.

Sounds eerily similar to what ICE and USNG are up to right now. It’s also theorized that George Lucas modeled Order 66 of the Republic after

Non-musical history for today: 1989 – The Simpsons premiered on television with the episode “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” Many call The Simpsons an ’80s show. Technically, it is because they were conceived for the Tracy Ulman Show. But, this is the only full-length episode of the series to air in the 1980s. It wasn’t supposed to be the first episode, but something happened along the way for the intended episode (“Some Enchanted Evening”). Music history,
