In memoriam -- you really need to know her
Dame VERA LYNN, iconic singer of the World War II anthem, "We'll Meet Again," died today at age 103.
She made the 1939 British song so famous -- music and lyrics composed and written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles -- that it also became an enduring hit in the U.S., resonating with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts.
The daughter of a plumber and a dressmaker, she nearly died in a pandemic at the age of two, and was sent to an isolation unit for three months. As a result, her mother was very protective and didn't allow her to visit friends or play in the street for a long time following.
During the war she toured Egypt, India and Burma giving outdoor concerts for the troops, earning her the sobriquet, "The Forces' Sweetheart." She remained popular after the war, appearing on radio and television in the UK and the United States.
If you're sensing familiarity in another context? Well, there's plenty.
On their 1979 album, "The Wall," Pink Floyd included a song titled "Vera." It is a tribute to Vera Lynn and the song "We'll Meet Again," and includes the lyrics, "Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? / Remember how she said that / We would meet again / Some sunny day?"
 |
| Not a 100 song box set, but a Top-10 album for her 100th birthday. Before that, she was featured by PINK FLOYD on "The Wall." She died Thursday at age 103. |
The 2017 film "Kong: Skull Island" featured Vera Lynn's song as the mission survivors leave Skull Island. Timeless songs do resurface even after Pink Floyd, sometimes in bizarre contexts.
Fortunately, that's not all. Dame Lynn remained active well into her senior years. In September 2009 she became the oldest person, at age 92, to hit No. 1 on the British album charts with "We'll Meet Again: The Very Best of Vera Lynn." Then, to mark her centennial year, she released another album, "Vera Lynn 100." It reached No. 3, making her the first centenarian performer to have a Top 10 album in the charts.
Her list of honors simply beats anybody, from a preserved steam locomotive and new Woolrich Ferry boat both named for her to every British music and arts honor, hefty lists of honorary advanced degrees from top universities, to the top honor from the Netherlands and a flotilla of honors from Britain including the one that made her "Dame" Vera Lynn in 1969.
She devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. She was held in great affection by Second World War veterans and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century.
Check out the music video of her performance from the 1943 musical feature film named after the song, "We'll Meet Again," at:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T5C4meGkNyc
Then invest three minutes in one of her other hits, illustrated with nice period inagery and an informative lil' write-up, "(They'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" written in 1941 by Walter Kent and Nat Burton:

If you thought that era was all Bing Crosby and Glenn Miller and Bob Hope, prepare to have your world expanded. What a legacy.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY from one born on this date...
"Having been unable to strengthen justice, we have justified strength."
~ Blaise Pascal (born June 19, 1623, died 1662), French philosopher, mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer, Catholic theologian, and master of prose. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen.
Pascal is a perfect example of a human contradiction. Something we seem unable to reconcile in our polarized times:
He was an empirical, data-driven scientist who espoused pursuing intuitive religion through the heart rather than through reason. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities and formulated what came to be known as Pascal’s principle of pressure. Yet the religious doctrine of intuitionism he established had an impact on later philosophers all the way to the Existentialists.
(our thanks to A.Word.A.Day for the quote from Pascal)

Friday is Juneteenth
Friday, June 19th, is Juneteenth. Every year, The Guide tells you about large, inclusive community events, filled with live music, food, workshops, living history and more, throughout Southern California to celebrate the day. This year, with the quasi-quarantine and COVID-19 death toll over 120,000 -- and the pivotal awakening following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, traditional Juneteenth celebrations are taking other forms.
Juneteenth is a day that honors freedom and resistance and perseverance by celebrating the day -- over two years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation -- when U.S. Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas.
One hundred fifty-five years ago today, Gen. Granger announced the Civil War had ended and all the slaves held in the former Confederacy had already been freed. It was two months after the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the other remaining forces had surrendered in the meantime, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis had been captured. But not until Juneteenth did the last persons held in bondage in the former Confederacy learn that any of that had transpired, and know that America's promise of freedom finally applied to them.
One hundred fifty-five years ago today, Gen. Granger announced the Civil War had ended and all the slaves held in the former Confederacy had already been freed. It was two months after the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the other remaining forces had surrendered in the meantime, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis had been captured. But not until Juneteenth did the last persons held in bondage in the former Confederacy learn that any of that had transpired, and know that America's promise of freedom finally applied to them.
Six months later on December 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified by Congress and signed by President Andrew Johnson, marking the official abolition of slavery throughout all of the United States -- which, by then, meant abolition in the slave states that had not left the Union in the Civil War.
Beginning the following year, on June 19th -- and every year after -- parades, parties, and celebrations of progress have taken place in Texas. They have since spread across the country, making “Juneteenth” (a combination of June and Nineteenth) the day that most states commemorate black emancipation, liberation and independence.
In a very real sense, it is a more valid date of freedom than the Fourth of July. Because on July 4, 1776, America's slaves and indentured servants were not freed by the Declaration of Independence, and would not be for another 89 years.
Juneteenth is a day of celebration of black freedom and independence, and it's the perfect day to stand together in solidarity and demand structural change.
Yvette Simpson, CEO of Democracy for America, says "The calls for true, meaningful reform to our system of justice and law enforcement have never been stronger. For the first time, millions of Americans are finally seeing with their own eyes the systemic racism at the heart of our institutions."
Protests and marches for justice are taking place in all 50 states, in DC, and around the world. You can raise your voice in solidarity in the fight for meaningful change.
|
"Lift Every Voice and Sing" – often referred to as the Black national anthem – is a song written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and set to music by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1905. It became one of the most cherished songs of the African American Civil Rights Movement.
Watch Aretha Franklin perform it live: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8QK4p22LHtw
Or watch the live, slower tempo all-vocal rendition by the Oakwood University group, Committed, at: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ngFDy52eCZY
Either one will move you.
It leaves us incredulous. The Orange Imbecile issued a tweet on Thursday taking personal credit for making Juneteenth famous, adding, "no one had ever heard of it" before him. You know it isn't about him. We know it isn't about him. He is the only one who doesn't know it isn't about him. How pathetic that after all the struggle and the strife, a usurper with a sense of entitlement (to everything) would try to parachute-in and bask in his own gaslight.
May your observance of the day be joyful and meaningful for you and yours.

Today is the Summer Solstice, the first official day of summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) and in terms of the length of time the sun is up, the longest day of the year. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, all that is exactly opposite, and they enter winter today. And with the need to process all the things lately that simultaneously present glaring opposites, it seemed like we could consider that, ancient as the whirling orb on which our species developed, stuff is just like that. Even when what you're trying to change is for equality of opportunity, fairness, equal justice under the law, and getting robocop military combat tanks out of the hands of "public safety" officers.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY from one born on this date...
"So at any given moment you're only the sum of your life up to then. There are no big moments you can reach unless you've a pile of smaller moments to stand on. That big hour of decision, the turning point in your life, the someday you've counted on when you'd suddenly wipe out your past mistakes, do the work you'd never done, think the way you'd never thought, have what you'd never had — it just doesn't come suddenly. You've trained yourself for it while you waited — or you've let it all run past you and frittered yourself away. I've frittered myself away.”
~ Lillian Hellman, from her book, "The Autumn Garden"; (born June 20, 1905, died 1984); American author, playwright & memoirist whose works won many honors and awards, she was a contemporary and the female counterpart of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Hammett; she was also an effective leftist activist and union organizer who was Blacklisted during McCarthyism, and "a woman who could overcome the hurdles of her time and succeed on her own terms."
(our thanks to Garrison Keillor for the quote and directing us to her.)

So won't you dream on comrades
Seems nothing affects you,
Nothing, no reason nor rhyme.
That's cause everyone here is just more than
Contented to be living and dying in three quarter time."
