00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.920
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to history and factoids

2
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.760
about today Today's March of the eleventh.

3
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:35.280
Dream Dream Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream Dream.

4
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.359
Today is National Dream Day. Now, dreams they're invented by

5
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.280
the Sumerians back in the year two thousand BC. Now,

6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.200
sometimes I just like to check to see if you

7
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.439
pay attention. Now National Dream Day is to debunk the

8
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.320
myth that dreams are just fairy tales and fantasies that

9
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.960
won't ever happen. That is wrong. Some dreams come true.

10
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.719
Your dreams may seem weird or goofy, but that's okay.

11
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.600
Everybody's are experts. They say that you're supposed to keep

12
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.320
a paper and pen next to your bed and write

13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.439
down your dreams. You won't remember them when you wake up.

14
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.760
Twelve percent of all people never dream in color. Yes,

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.599
animals dream, and blind people see images in their dreams. Now,

16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.000
your mind is actually more active when you're dreaming than

17
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.280
when you're awake. Now, you're probably a little tired from

18
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.120
daylight saving, so it might be a good excuse of

19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.400
taking nap today and enjoy your dreams, or you can

20
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.719
wait till you go to bed. Well, either way, today

21
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.280
you know today was either Dream Day or Pomp prosal

22
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.359
Promposal Day. So yeah, let's just good entertainment is going

23
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.000
on on. In March. The eleventh go back to nineteen

24
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.000
seventy one number one album was Pearl by Janis Joplin.

25
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.040
The Osma Has had the number one song with One

26
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:55.359
Bad Apple Bunch. Charlie Pride had the number one country

27
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.439
song with I'd rather love you Lot be hurting.

28
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.560
I'm still certain.

29
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:14.319
I'd rather love than I never know your love at all.

30
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.919
The number one buck was QB seven by Leanne Euris.

31
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.080
The top movie was Love Story. Ryan O'Neil and Alan

32
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.719
McGrath are from totally different backgrounds, but yet they still

33
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.919
fall in love. All right. What happened on marsy eleventh

34
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.400
and the year thirteen oh two Romeo and Juliet got Mary. Well,

35
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.840
that's according to Space Shakespeare. Yeah, it was a Act

36
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.879
two scene six, sixteen sixty nine. Assistily Mount Etna erupted

37
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.759
gild over fifteen thousand people. That's the biggest eruption of

38
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.000
Mount Etta and recorded history anyway. It's been going on

39
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.919
for thousands of years. It's still erupting. It is one

40
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.960
of the most active volcanos in the world last time

41
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.319
interrupted man just March fourth, a couple of days ago,

42
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.479
seventeen forty four in London, England, the auction house Southebeast. Yeah,

43
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.360
they held their first auction. Now today Southebee's is the

44
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.360
largest auction house in the world. So get this parallel.

45
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.280
Now that very first auction for Southe Beast, they auctioned

46
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.319
nothing but books. Get this Amazon, they started out selling

47
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.120
nothing but books. In baseball, in nineteen oh one Baltimore,

48
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.479
they signed a Cherokee Indian to play second base, Tokahoma

49
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.400
now Tokahoma. He was really a black guy named Charlie Grant.

50
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.360
In nineteen twenty seven, outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the first armored

51
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.439
car rivalry took place. The Fathead Gang. They were able

52
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.520
to debtonight some dynamite as a Brink's armored car drove by.

53
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.680
Now the Fatheads they got away with one hundred and

54
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.719
four thousand dollars, that's over two million dollars today. Now

55
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.439
the guards actually survived the explosion and one of the guards,

56
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.000
he was able to see the license played on the

57
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.960
getaway car as it was driving away. The fat Heads, Yeah,

58
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.240
they were arrested the next day. Nineteen forty two, US

59
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.759
General Douglas MacArthur, his family, and his staff left the Philippines,

60
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.919
left behind ninety thousand United States soldiers and Filipino soldiers

61
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.280
to face the Japanese, who had five hundred thousand men.

62
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.319
Six days later, in Australia, MacArthur gave us famous I

63
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.400
Show return speech. Pretty easy to give a speed from.

64
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.680
In Australia nineteen fifty eight, the US bomber it accidentally

65
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.680
dropped in nuclear bomb fifteen thousand feet over South Carolina.

66
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.800
It landed on the house and Mars Bluff. Luckily the

67
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.400
nuclear capsule wasn't attached to it, so it didn't explode.

68
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.560
It did create a seventy five foot crater where that

69
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.600
house used to stand. Thankfully nobody was home at the time.

70
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.959
I wonder what kind of insurance claim you file on

71
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.319
that one nuclear bomb falling house. Nineteen eighty six, a

72
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.040
Japanese pro flew by Hayley's comment, it got within four

73
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.519
thousand miles of the common Now they didn' admit it,

74
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.879
but we'll just say they missed. They were trying to

75
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.920
twenty eleven, a magnitude nine earthquake get struck eighty miles

76
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.720
east of Sunday, Japan, caused the tsunami that killed thousands

77
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.279
of people, and it caused the second words nuclear disaster

78
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.000
in history when it hit the Fukuhama Nuclear Plant. Chier

79
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.720
Noble still the.

80
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.279
Worst joked, joked joke. She this shimmer day.

81
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.399
Please don't pause.

82
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.879
He left this shubarday.

83
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:05.000
We gonna sit in the tow subirthday. You don't I

84
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.240
know your wonder? Who was born on Marcia level Well

85
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.079
Christian kit Nelson. He was born in Denmark in eighteen

86
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.600
ninety three, came the United States as a kid. Now

87
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.199
he was a high school teacher and he owned a

88
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.120
candy store in Una, Iowa. In nineteen twenty a little

89
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.160
boy came into candy store, couldn't decide if he wanted

90
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.759
some ice cream or a chocolate candy bar.

91
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:22.480
Oh.

92
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.879
That gave Christian an idea, why not combine there too.

93
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.319
That was a big hit out there in that area

94
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.480
of Iowa. Then a chocolate guy named Russell Stover he

95
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.639
heard about it. He wanted to be a partner, but

96
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.079
he changed the name to an Escobo pie. Two years

97
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.680
later they were selling one million Escobe pies every day.

98
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.240
So Christian. He died a very rich man in nineteen

99
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:59.519
ninety two, at ninety nine years old. I still remember

100
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.439
my grand was watching that one I was a little boy.

101
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.279
Lawrence Well, he was born in Strasburg, North Dakota, in

102
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.600
nineteen oh three. Now, if you're ever in southern North Dakota, yeah,

103
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.319
stop off in Strasburg. They're pretty proud of Lawrence Wolkler. Yeah.

104
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:12.680
They turned the house that he was born and grew

105
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.839
up in into like a museum and a tourist attraction.

106
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.680
It's pretty cool. In the fourth grade, Lawrence he decided

107
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:19.240
he wanted to be a musician, so he told his

108
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.800
dad that if he would buy him an accordion, he

109
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.560
would stay on the farm until he was twenty one,

110
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.560
and he would work on the farm during the day

111
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
and then play music at night, and any money he

112
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.600
made for music he'd give to the family. His dad said, okay,

113
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.240
So when Lawrence turned twenty one, he left the farm

114
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.360
and founded the Lawrence Wilke Orchestra. His music was actually

115
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.319
called Champagne Music. Now he had his own TV show

116
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.319
from nineteen fifty one to nineteen eighty two. They also

117
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.000
toured nineteen sixty him and his orchestra that they had

118
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.680
the number one pop song in the world.

119
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.360
He was the one.

120
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.680
I just played Calcutta, I was number one. He married

121
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.160
nineteen thirty one and they had two daughters. Lawrence died

122
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.839
in nineteen ninety two from pneumonia at eighty nine years old.

123
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:06.240
Well, yes, samming.

124
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.800
Redal that was George Koma and singing for the band

125
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.560
Golden Earring. Georgie was born in the Hague, Netherlands, in

126
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.399
nineteen forty eight. Now, they started out as the Tornadoes

127
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.040
in nineteen sixty one. George was thirteen and his neighbor

128
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.240
was fifteen when they started that band. That changed their

129
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.120
name though, yeah, somebody's already using Tornadoes, so they changed

130
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.079
it to Golden Earring. Golden Earring it's a musical instrument.

131
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.240
Now they were doing pretty good over them the otherwise.

132
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.319
Then in nineteen sixty nine George actually took over as

133
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.720
the lead singer. Well, that got him international success. They

134
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.680
had had Radar Love, Twilight Zone when the Lady sings.

135
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.959
In twenty twenty one, George he was diagnosed with als.

136
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:54.920
So the guys in Golden Earrings said, you know, we

137
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.680
had a really long run. It was a good run,

138
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.279
so they just called her quits. George. He died just

139
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.519
last July, seventy seven years old. He was married and

140
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:02.600
they had one child.

141
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.959
He is a little song I wrote. You might want

142
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:18.040
to sing it. No, don't be happy in every life

143
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.000
we have some trouble when you wear you make it up.

144
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.160
Don't well ready Bobby mcfair and he's seventy six. He's

145
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.040
born in Manhattan, New York, in nineteen fifty.

146
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:29.600
Now.

147
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.080
His dad was an opera singer and his mom Todd singing.

148
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.480
She was a college professor. Everything you hear on one

149
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.399
of his songs is all Bobby. He does not use instruments, Nope,

150
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.799
it's all his voice. Sounds he can't make with his voice,

151
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.720
like drums he makes up by thumping his chest. He

152
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.360
just goes in the studio and soolo and goes into

153
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.480
a booth all by himself and the records his records. Now, Bobby,

154
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.840
he's actually considered a jazz artist, so don't worry be happy.

155
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.200
That's considered the only jazz lign that crossover and hit

156
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.120
on the pop charts that he had. Now he's worked

157
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.879

159
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.840
and they have two sons and a daughter. In twenty

160
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:29.120
twenty three, Bobby announced that he had Parkinson's was Do

161
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.559
you remember what movie? That song stay I Missed You

162
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.480
was in Reality Bites Now. That was the first song

163
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.360
