London, 1963
Roger Waters and Nick Mason meet while studying architecture at what is now known as the University of Westminster. Eventually, they both joined a band called Sigma 6, although at one point the band was called the Meggadeaths and they eventually settled on the name The Tea Set. Waters played lead guitar and Mason played drums. There was also Keith Noble, Clive Metcalfe, and another fellow architecture student named Richard Wright who played keyboard. For lack of a better word, The Tea Set was a standard rock band that specialized in R&B covers.
However, soon Noble and Metcalfe left the band, and others took their place. There was Bob Klose, who played lead guitar after Waters shifted to bass guitar. Klose introduced Waters to Chris Dennis, who became their new lead singer. Meanwhile, Syd Barrett, a childhood friend of Waters, also joined up with them playing guitar. In December 1964, they recorded for the first time at a studio that one of Wright’s friends let them use.
In early 1965, the Royal Air Force assigned Dennis to Bahrain, so Barrett stepped in to become the band’s new singer. A few months later, they became the resident band at the Countdown Club in London. Each night into the wee hours they played three 90-minute sets. This was when their songs got longer with more solos and they, dare I say, got more experimental with their sound. In the summer, after pressure from his parents and teachers, Klose quit the band to focus on his studies, and Barrett also took over lead guitar.
After going through various more name changes, by the end of 1965 the four of them- Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright- were now billing themselves Pink Floyd. The name came from the combined names of two American blues musicians Barrett loved, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Pink Floyd played lots of gigs throughout 1966, and even started to get paid for them! Led by Barrett, their sound was a weird mix of rock, blues, and even music hall. Ultimately, their sound distinctly became known as psychedelic, meaning music influenced by psychedelic drugs…hallucinogenic drugs that created weird states of consciousness. Barrett, in particular, became a regular user of LSD, and that heavily influenced the band’s music. The author Lewis Carroll also heavily influenced Barrett’s lyrics.

Watergate is the biggest political scandal in American history. It led to a major setback for the Republican Party, especially as they lost many seats in Congress in the 1974 midterm elections. Watergate dramatically increased cynicism and distrust of the federal government, which had already been on the rise due to its lies revolving around the Vietnam War. #watergate #ushistory #apush

The Cornhusker State and the Hawkeye State
Two bordering Midwestern states in these United States that I am very familiar with. The mighty Missouri River, which is the longest river in North America by the way, is the only thing that separates them.

Washington, D.C.
June 17, 1972
Five men break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building. They tried to set up a wiretap and photograph confidential Democratic Party documents. However, the police caught them in the act and arrested them. Little did most know, these men were connected with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, or CRP, or CREEP (hee hee), the organization directly tied to President Richard Nixon in order to help him get re-elected.
Flash forward to May 1973, and thanks to multiple ongoing investigations, now more and more Americans are thinking the Nixon administration was directly linked to the Watergate break-in.
The U.S. Senate Watergate Committee began public hearings, and the Nixon administration appointed Archibald Cox to lead a separate, independent investigation. Flash forward again to July 1973, and Americans found out that there is a new system in the White House that automatically records everything in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room. In other words, if Nixon was in on the Watergate break-in or even if he just knew about it and was trying to cover it up, there could be evidence of it in the recordings. Cox, as well as the Senate, immediately subpoenaed the White House recordings, or required that they be submitted to court as evidence. However, Nixon refused to release them, citing his “executive privilege” as the president. He even ordered Cox to drop his subpoena, and after Cox refused, Nixon had him fired. Not a good look there, Nixon.
But the investigations only picked up. In what eventually became known as The Watergate Scandal, a total of 69 people were indicted and 48 people convicted for either participating in, aiding in, or covering up information about the Watergate break-in. MANY of these folks were top Nixon administration officials. By early 1974, it seemed pretty clear that President Nixon had at least known about the Watergate break-in and tried to cover it up. However, there was little solid evidence, and Nixon had still refused to give up the recordings. On March 1, 1974, a grand jury, or special jury selected to see if an accusation was valid or not, indicted SEVEN former aides of Nixon, who later simply became known as the “Watergate Seven.”

#filibuster #ussenate #uspolitics
If it weren’t for the fact that the United States has been so divided over the past 25 years, the filibuster wouldn’t be as big of a deal. The minority party in the Senate has been a LOT louder and more powerful since then. It’s not like the Senate hasn’t passed laws since the 1970s. However, it’s been increasingly difficult for them to pass MEANINGFUL laws ever since.
The reason why it’s so difficult for the U.S. Senate to pass any new law is mostly due to…an accident because the creation of the filibuster was an accident. Only later did the minority political party make arguments that the filibuster was a good idea in order to protect the minority.
Whenever you hear someone argue that the Founding Fathers actually wanted the Senate to have a filibuster, I doubt this person actually knows what the heck they are talking about. In fact, if you go back and read what many of them said and wrote, they warned that making supermajorities a thing would lead to bills never getting passed.

Australia and New Zealand
Two countries in Oceania...more specifically…Australasia. Separated by the Tasman Sea, they’re two well developed countries that often rank really high on nearly every quality of life ranking list and are, uh, pretty awesome. Both seem to be kind of far away from the entire rest of the world, and kind of in their own little world since they’re both so unique.

#itsawonderfullife #christmasmovies #filmhistory
Not only do many consider it the greatest Christmas film of all time, but many consider it one of the greatest FILMS of all time, period. Even though it debuted 75 years ago, it still holds up amazingly well. Here is everything you need to know about It’s a Wonderful Life.
November 1939
Philip Van Doren Stern begins writing a short story loosely based on the classic Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol. He didn’t finish it until 1943 and sent it to a bunch of publishers, none of which were interested in publishing it. So he just printed a bunch and mailed them to friends and family members instead. Well somehow, the story, called The Greatest Gift, got into the hands of David Hempstead, a film producer who worked for RKO Pictures, and he got the story to the actor Cary Grant. Well Grant loved it and said if RKO Pictures turned it into a film, he’d want to play the lead role. RKO bought the rights to turn it into a movie for $10,000.
However, RKO Pictures hesitated on moving forward, not satisfied with different scripts that different screenwriters came up with. Enter director Frank Capra, whose new production company, Liberty Films, had just entered a long-term deal with RKO. After Capra read it he immediately wanted it for his first Hollywood film. Capra hired his own team to help him write a screenplay from it. The main folks who contributed were Frances Goodrich, Albert Hacket, and Jo Swerling, although Capra apparently didn’t get along well with the team.
Though this has never been fully verified, Capra was likely inspired to model the setting for the film after Seneca Falls, New York, after he visited the town in 1945, although the original author, Stern, had Califon, New Jersey in mind.
Anyway, Cary Grant had moved on, so now Capra needed to find someone for the lead role. He found James Stewart, who had just returned home from his heroic military service during World War Two. Stewart had worked with Capra on Mr. Smith Goes to Washington before the war. Now that the war was over, Stewart was looking at returning to acting, and gladly accepted the leading role of George Bailey. Capra considered MANY actors for the rest of the roles, but ultimately went with Donna Reed to play George’s wife, Mary Bailey. He chose Lionel Barrymore to play Potter, which was kind of fitting since Barrymore had famously played Ebenezer Scrooge in radio presentations of A Christmas Carol a few years prior. The dude who Capra picked to play Mr. Gower, the drugstore owner was H.B. Warner, who actually studied medicine before going into acting. An English actor named Henry Travers played Clarence, the angel. Though he was an accomplished actor, this would easily be his most famous role.
Capra would not only direct the film, but produce the whole thing as well. Filming began on April 15, 1946 and ended on July 27th, and no, they didn’t film it in New York or New Jersey. They filmed it in California, of course, mostly on a giant set. Yep, Bedford Falls was a fake town built on four acres at the RKO Studios in Culver City, California, with additional scenes shot on their 89-acre ranch in Encino. For the snow scenes, special effects artist Russell Shearman had developed a brand new compound mixing water, soap flakes, foamite, and sugar. Before that movie snow was usually made from untoasted cornflakes, believe it or not. The famous high school dance scenes were filmed at a REAL location, at Beverly Hills High School, which you can still visit.
It’s a Wonderful Life premiered on December 20, 1946 at the Globe Theatre in New York City. It wouldn’t be released nationwide until January 7th, which probably hurt its performance. Critics were mixed about it and it actually underperformed at the box office, with RKO losing $525,000. The FBI officially didn’t like it, either, issuing a memo that said the film secretly had a pro-Communist agenda.

Arkansas and Missouri
Or as many say “Missour UH” and wait a second, why is Arkansas pronounced like that? Well, that’s another video, buddy. Check it out.
Anyway, Missouri and Arkansas
The Show-Me State and The Natural State
Two bordering states where the South kind of meets the West and Midwest in THESE United States
And, I know I have talked some trash about Missouri throughout my life being a Kansas boy, but I gotta admit it’s one of my favorite places to visit, and I only don’t visit Arkansas as much since it’s a bit further of a drive for me.
There’s a relatively new rivalry between the sports teams of the two major universities in each state. (Missouri Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks). The football rivalry is known as The Battle Line Rivalry.
Missouri is a Midwestern state, but much of Southern Missouri kind of makes it seem like a Southern state. Arkansas is definitely a Southern state, but parts of it, like Northwest Arkansas in particular, somehow feel Midwestern. So if you like the South and Midwest, these two states are for you.
The population of Missouri is more than twice that of Arkansas.
A big reason why are Missouri’s two major metropolitan areas- Kansas City and St. Louis, both wonderful cities that I am very, very familiar with. Both metros have more than 2 million people.

#georgewashington #presidents #ushistory
Not only is George Washington single handedly the most important person to the founding of the United States, I’d argue he’s the most important person in American history. Many of the precedents he set are still here today.
After the American Revolution, he easily could have been King of the United States. Americans loved him so much that it would have been a no brainer. The world had known pretty nothing but kings and dictators throughout most of human history. But nope, George turned it down. He had no ambitions to be a king.
Washington was an undeniably outstanding leader. Sure, big reasons why included his charisma and command for attention, as well as his virtue, dignity, and open mindedness. But his greatest strength was that he was a Uniter. Someone who brought very different people together. He was the glue that kept the factions together in the early years of the Republic, and the perfect person for the job of guiding the new country as it attempted to figure out how to move forward. Simply put, he was in a category all his own, and it’s hard to ever imagine another President accomplishing what he did.

#presidents #ushistory #mrbeat
I’m YouTube’s American Presidents guy now, apparently, and breaking news 39 American Presidents have died. Now, some of them have been dead for awhile. In this video, we’re going to look at how every President in American history died.
I would argue that being President is the most dangerous job in the world. 18% of them have died while on the job. 9% of them were assassinated. In fact, there was a period of about 122 years in which EIGHT Presidents died WHILE IN OFFICE.
Now, you could say that Presidents tend to be older when they take office, and that is a fair point.
Still, it’s no wonder the President now has an entire Secret Service team of thousands to protect them. Oh, and an entire White House Medical Unit to take care of all their medical needs. It's a dangerous and STRESSFUL job. I mean, just look at these before and after photos.
While most of us hope for painless deaths...ya know...like dying in our sleep….tragically many American Presidents died horrible, extremely painful deaths. Oh, and while we’re at it, we might as well look at the supposed last words of every President, even if sometimes those last words are, like, totally not profound at all.
And let’s go in chronological order at time of death instead of when they held office to mix it up a bit. Even though it’s supposedly the most dangerous job in the United States, Presidents have historically lived longer than the average American. The average lifespan for Americans is currently 78.9, but in 1860, it was just 39.4.
