Mike Mitchell, a founding member of the band that recorded 'Louie Louie,' has died

Mike Mitchell, lead guitarist for the Kingsmen for more than six decades, died Friday on his 77th birthday, according to a publicist for the group.

Mitchell was the last founding member still playing with the Portland, Oregon, band best known for its confounding rock cover of the R&B song "Louie Louie."

"We are deeply saddened by Mike's passing. He was the kindest and most generous man on the planet," drummer Dick Peterson said in a statement.

"Mike is irreplaceable, and he will be greatly missed not only by us but the fans as well. Mike was a favorite for his comedic nature as well as his musicianship," Peterson added.

The Kingsmen gained their legendary status after their single of "Louie Louie," which was performed in one take with poor recording equipment in 1963 and was widely misinterpreted as having indecent lyrics.

Music critic Dave Marsh referred to lead singer Jack Ely's vocals as resembling "Donald Duck on helium."

Then-Indiana Gov. Matthew Welsh banned sales of the recording in his state, claiming it was pornographic. The FBI conducted an investigation -- but the inquiry ended after their sound laboratory was unable to clearly determine what was actually being sung.

"Louie Louie" has since been covered by everyone from the Beach Boys to the Grateful Dead to R.E.M.

Mitchell performed the famous jangly guitar solo in the middle of the song and continued to perform with different lineups of the band for more than 60 years.

"His playing just got better as he aged," the Oregon Music Hall of Fame said in a Facebook post Saturday

Explanation: What does the center of our galaxy look like? In visible light, the Milky Way's center is hidden by clouds of obscuring dust and gas. But in this stunning vista, the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared cameras, penetrate much of the dust revealing the stars of the crowded galactic center region. A mosaic of many smaller snapshots, the detailed, false-color image shows older, cool stars in bluish hues. Red and brown glowing dust clouds are associated with young, hot stars in stellar nurseries. The very center of the Milky Way has recently been found capable of forming newborn stars. The galactic center lies some 26,700 light-years away, toward the constellation Sagittarius. At that distance, this picture spans about 900 light-years.

Hester Ford, the oldest living American, has died

Hester Ford, a North Carolina woman who was recognized as the oldest living American, died peacefully on Saturday in her home in Charlotte, North Carolina, her great-granddaughter Tanisha Patterson-Powe confirmed.

Ford was at least 115 years and 245 days old at the time of her death, according to the Gerontology Research Group, who verified her as the oldest living American in 2019. Her family, however, told CNN she was born on August 15, 1904, which would make her 116 years old.

Ford was born in Lancaster, South Carolina, to Peter and Frances McCardell. She went on to marry John Ford and had 12 children -- eight girls and four boys.

"It is overwhelming, yet an awakening experience to realize my grandmother wasn't just an ordinary woman, she was E-X-T-R-A-ordinary,"

Patterson-Powe told CNN in an email.
"She never 'fit into a one size fit all box' as she was a master inventor and innovator -- a trailblazer setting her own trends within the community and her home," she said.
Patterson-Powe described her great-grandmother as steadfast and unmovable in the face of adversity.

"She never complained, never showed defeat or entertained a pity-party," Patterson-Powe said.

With Ford's passing, the Gerontology Research Group lists Thelma Sutcliffe of Nebraska, born in 1906, as the oldest living American. The world's oldest person is Kane Tanaka of Japan at 118 years old, it says

#White World-Bridger is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming.

In this life-time you are being asked to release and surrender. Surrender is the opposite of giving up. It is freeing yourself from the desire to be in control, letting go of how you think things should be. Surrender is freedom. You are being invited to release yourself from the bondage of preconceived action, to let everything be all right as it is, so that you can live a more inspired life in the moment!

You are being asked to take action in the process of surrender and release. You are requested to die a symbolic death, to surrender your limiting beliefs. Symbolic death unveils the self by cutting away the outgrown parts of yourself that no longer serve you. In such death, ego structures fall away to reveal the garden of the true self. Look for new ways of being, new people, new ideas, and new directions that will move into the vacuum created through surrender and release. Like yeast, surrender enlivens and empowers you to experience more of life's fullness.

Holding on to past patterns and grievances only limits the possibilities. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Let go. Surrender whatever limits you. Face whatever you are resisting. In the experience of any loss, it is never too late to complete. Through your willingness to walk in the dark forest, insights and revelations will naturally emerge.

Un directeur d'une école de Singapour a envoyé cette lettre aux parents avant l'examen :
🔸️ Chers parents bientôt les examens pour vos enfants commenceront. Je sais que vous êtes tous très impatients que vos enfants se portent bien. Mais, s'il vous plaît, rappelez-vous, parmi les étudiants qui passeront l'examen, il y a un artiste, qui n'a pas besoin de comprendre les mathématiques... Il y a un entrepreneur, qui se moque de l'histoire ou de la littérature anglaise... il y a C ' est un musicien, dont les notes de chimie ne comptent pas... il y a un athlète... dont la forme physique est plus importante que la physique... Si votre enfant obtient le maximum de voix, c'est génial ! Mais s'il ou elle ne peut pas... S ' il vous plaît, n'enlevez pas confiance en eux et leur dignité. Dites-leur que c'est bon, que ce n'est qu'un examen ! Ils sont portés pour des choses bien plus grandes dans la vie. Dites-leur : peu importe le vote que vous obtiendrez... Aimez-les et ne les jugez pas. S ' il vous plaît, faites-le et quand vous le faites... regardez vos enfants conquérir le monde. Un examen ou une note basse... ne prendra pas leurs rêves et leurs talents. Et s'il vous plaît, ne pensez pas que les médecins et les ingénieurs sont les seuls heureux au monde.
cordialement

As Maxine Waters Calls for Riots in the Streets to Continue, Minnesota National Guardsmen Shot At


As Katie reported earlier today, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), a sitting member of Congress, took to the streets in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where she called on riots to continue. She did so in the dead of the night, knowingly breaking curfew and encouraging others to do the same. As Hannah Nightingale with the Post Millennial reported, sure enough, something came of that. A news release from the Minnesota National Guard alerted that the Minnesota National Guardsmen security team were fired upon at about 4:19am, local time. Fortunately, the injuries two guardsmen sustained were minor.
