The obvious answer is yes, the US will continue to send more and more weapons and bombs to Israel forever. I wish it would end. But it won’t.

So the response to this will be MORE KILLING MACHINES

Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting

Even in those cities with it, public transportation is failing. The systems are archaic and outdated.

These fucks are the reason AI advancement is needed. Keep the workers and drop the C-suites in favor of AI replacements. How do you steal 1 million and nobody notices?! Then multiply that question by 42!?

Insert that “change my mind” meme: Brian May’s solos are the reason we rock out so hard to Queen!

But we’re not talking copyright laws, we’re talking Fair Use and I think musicians should be allowed to say, it’s fair use or X and not for Y

Fair Use in Campaigns

I don’t know why or how this keeps coming up. All musicians who want or don’t want their music used by a politician or political party should be on a list. If the song is on the banned list and it’s used, instant fine.

No worries. I think that would be a good fit, different name but same concept

I’m up for anything, I like the idea of redirecting users. I became a mod of the community mainly to help out cause I liked the community on [blank] but I don’t particularly have anything awesome to post myself. So whatever’s best for the Lemmy community is what I choose

 

The Rolling Stones release "Angie", which will top the Billboard chart and reach #5 in the UK. At the time, the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition was rumored to have been written about David Bowie's first wife Angela, the actress Angie Dickinson, Keith Richards' newborn daughter Dandelion Angela, and Marianne Faithfull. However, in his 2010 memoir Life, Richards said that he had chosen the name at random when writing the song, before he knew that his baby would be named Angela or even knew that his baby would be a girl.

 

Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby and Stephen Stills all appeared on The Dick Cavett Show. The episode is now often referred to as "The Woodstock Show", as many of the performers, and Cavett's audience, came directly from the concert.

 

The City of Liverpool named four streets after The Beatles, John Lennon Drive, Paul McCartney Way, George Harrison Close and Ringo Starr Drive.

 

Deep Purple's version of "Hush" is released in the US where it will climb to #4 by mid-September. Recorded in just two takes, the song would be the band's first of eight Billboard Hot 100 hits

 

42-year-old Elvis Presley died at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. Presley's girlfriend, Ginger Alden awoke in the afternoon and noticed that he was not in bed and found him lying on the floor of the bathroom. He was rushed to Baptist Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m. After an examination it was revealed that Presley's body contained butabarbital, codeine, morphine, pentobarbital, Placidyl, Quaalude, Valium and Valmid. It had been five years since Presley had a US Top Ten hit with the #2 song, "Burning Love". His last US #1 was 1969's "Suspicious Minds". He left an estate valued at 4.9 million dollars, which by 1993 had grown to over 50 million. In his last conversation with Ginger Alden, he told her "I'm going to the bathroom to read." When she cautioned him not to fall asleep in there, his final words were, "Okay, I won't."

 

Led Zeppelin release their eighth and final studio album, "In Through the Out Door" on their own label, Swan Song Records. The effort would prove to be a huge success, topping both the UK Official Albums Chart and the Billboard 200. It would be certified 6X Platinum in the United States. The highest charting single from the LP, "Fool in the Rain", would reach #21 on Billboard's Hot 100.

 

Michael Jackson outbids Paul McCartney for the entire ATV music publishing catalogue, which includes most of the Lennon/McCartney songbook. Jackson paid 47.5 million US dollars for the company, in an act that will permanently sour the friendship between the two stars.

 

The Kinks reach the UK charts for the first time with "You Really Got Me". The song will top the British list a month later and climb to #7 in the US

 

Alice Cooper tops the UK chart with "School's Out" for the first of two weeks. The song rose to #7 in the US. Some America radio stations actually banned the song from their play lists, believing that it caused rebelliousness against childhood education. Despite the controversy, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015.

 

"Hey Jude" / "Revolution" becomes the first Beatles' single to be released on their own Apple Records. Its nine-week stay at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 tied the all-time record for the longest run at the top of the US charts, a distinction it held for nine years. The song also topped the charts in sixteen other countries around the world, including the UK.

 

Jim Morrison's trial for allegedly exposing himself onstage in Miami begins. He would be found guilty and Judge Goodman would sentence Jim to six months of hard labor and a $500 fine for public exposure and sixty days of hard labor for profanity. His lawyer filed an immediate appeal and Jim was freed on $50,000 bond. Morrison would die in Paris, France on July 3rd, 1971 before his legal problems could be resolved. In December, 2010, the Florida Clemency Board would grant him a full pardon. Members of The Doors' staff insisted that Morrison never exposed himself in the first place.

 

53-year-old Jerry Garcia, leader of The Grateful Dead, died at a California rehabilitation center. The official cause of death was a heart attack brought on by hardening of the arteries. Half of his ashes were later spread into the Ganges river at the holy city of Rishikesh, India. The the rest of the cremains were scattered into the San Francisco Bay
