What I Learned September 3 - September 7, 2010
-There is a guy on the Oakland A's named Coco Crisp
-This guy that I've been friends with since we were both pretty little, but haven't really talked in a few years, was in a car accident a few months ago and was told he would never walk again. When I saw him he had a cane and was able to walk with some assistance.
-In the late 70's my dad worked on the Barry Manilow Show and apparently, Manilow was approached by one of the workers who politely asked for an autograph for his daughter. Manilow gave him the autograph and when the fan left, Manilow turned to another worker and said something along the lines of "fire him. no one approaches me like that"
-More than half of my aunt's senior year in high school was spent not in school because everyone was always protesting something.
-Buddy Rich liked softball and creamsicles.
-Seth MacFarlane will be joining a big band in October at the LAX Marriott for a Frank Sinatra jazz festival.
-In China, if you have a Bible, you will very likely either be imprisoned or in some cases, killed
-Before the civil rights movement, in California, Hispanics could only use public pools on Mondays because they cleaned the pools on Tuesdays.
-Before FDR, the roles/views of the democrats and the republicans were reversed. The democrats were more conservative especially when it came to slavery.
-In 1942 the Rose Bowl was moved to North Carolina for fear of being bombed.
-During the time of the Japanese internment, Japanese American soldiers were given time off to help their parents pack their things to go to the internment camps
-At the height of war production in WW2, Californian workers would build 1 naval ship per day and 1 plane every 15 minutes.
