Mr. T (born Lawrence Tureaud; May 21, 1952) is an actor, bodyguard, television personality, and retired professional wrestler, known for his roles in The A-Team and as boxer Clubber Lang in the film Rocky III. He is known for his distinctive hairstyle inspired by Mandinka warriors in West Africa, his gold jewelry, and his tough-guy image. He starred in I Pity the Fool. He won a football scholarship to Prairie View A&M University, where he majored in Mathematics. He then enlisted in the Army and served in the Military Police Corps. He tried out for the Green Bay Packers but failed to make the team due to a knee injury. He next worked as a bouncer at the Rush Street club Dingbats. It was at this time that he created the persona of Mr. T. He was hired to keep out drug dealers and users. He parlayed his job as a bouncer into a career as a bodyguard. He was contracted to guard, among others, clothes designers, models, judges, politicians, athletes, and millionaires. He protected well-known personalities such as Muhammad Ali, Steve McQueen, Michael Jackson, Leon Spinks, Joe Frazier, and Diana Ross, charging $3,000 per day, to a maximum of $10,000 per day, depending on the clientele's risk-rated and traveling locations. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd0V8y6rsqvV1c_Th489EV9VMpH60h_ose4OBY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FEEDBACK LOOP #6: Cargo Cults’ “Rammellzee”
Tumblr media
Since these symbols and all symbols are drawn, infinity’s separation from all symbols must be shown through drawing. The only proof of such a separation of the infinity would be the understanding by the majority of the planetary peers. There is no other way.
—from IONIC TREATISE GOTHIC FUTURISM ASSASSIN KNOWLEDGES OF THE REMANIPULATED SQUARE POINT’S ONE TO 720° TO 1440° THE RAMM-ΣLL-ZΣΣ (1979, 2003)
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
—from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland
Riding among an exhausted busful of Negroes going on to graveyard shifts all over the city, she saw scratched on the back of a seat, shining for her in the brilliant smoky interior, the post horn with the legend DEATH. But unlike WASTE, somebody had troubled to write in, in pencil: DON’T EVER ANTAGONIZE THE HORN.
—from Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49
1.  I walk down the street and people look at me and say, “Who the hell are you?”
Cargo Cults (Alaska and Zilla Rocca) begin their track “Rammellzee” with the voice of the some-16 billion-years-old being himself. The song is an ode, an invocation. The organ sample provides a bizarre ride: a carousel of colors. We immediately plummet—into a well, a subway tunnel, a cosmos of linguistics. Not a nonchalant That’s deep, but a depth of knowledge where “cipher” means code, means Supreme Mathematics, means gathering with your rapfolk outside the Nuyorican Poets Cafe or in Washington Square Park: a deep connection. Mimicking Rammellzee, Alaska presents the listener with “swirling pages / forming mazes of [his] formulations” and subsequently “break[s] them down into a form that’s shapeless.”
Tumblr media
2.  Hip-hop is ageist….In blues, you ain’t official until you fifty. (Ka, Red Bull Music Academy interview with Jeff Mao, 2016)
The phrase …of a certain age has, historically, been used euphemistically to describe someone (typically a woman) who has existed for a “shameful” tally of years. Society is still undoing the stigma, but rappers have made strides.
In Adult Rappers, a 2015 documentary directed by Paul Iannacchino (Hangar 18’s DJ paWL), Alaska is [accidentally?] presented twice in the closing credits—like a double, a separate persona—which calls to mind the multiple personalities of Rammellzee: Crux the Monk, Chaser the Eraser, Gash/Olear, et cetera. Age allows for maturation, for building, for bettering. In Rammellzee’s case—and I’d argue Alaska’s—it allows for complexity to emerge organically through wisdom. It allows for reinvention, for many versions of one’s self. Age and development is how an aerosol can with a fat cap can graduate to customized deodorant roll-ons and shoe polish canisters.
It begins with jerry-rigging a nozzle and ends in diagramming a “harpoonic whip launcher/pulsating extendor” to illustrate the deconstruction of letter-formations in the English alphabet. The spirit of experience pervades the Nihilist Millennial album. As anyone who has ever sat on the couch knows, communication can also improve with age.
Tumblr media
3.
Artists and rappers like Rammellzee and Alaska rely on wild-styles, a self-made world that warps quantum physics and disregards notions of dimensionality. It’s dream-vision. It’s liberation. It simultaneously celebrates and critiques communication: like the image of a muted horn.
“Communication is the key,” cried Nefastis. “The Demon passes his data on to the sensitive, and the sensitive must reply in kind. There are untold billions of molecules in that box. The Demon collects data on each and every one. At some deep psychic level he must get through…”
“Help,” said Oedipa, “you’re not reaching me.”
“Entropy is a figure of speech, then,” sighed Nefastis, “a metaphor. It connects the world of thermodynamics to the world of information flow. The Machine uses both. The Demon makes the metaphor not only verbally graceful, but also objectively true.”
[…]
Nefastis smiled; impenetrable, calm, a believer.
Tumblr media
The wordplay seems just that: play—that is, until you find the thread. Alaska cobbles together words like rubbish, W.A.S.T.E. Words appear daisy-chained together—flowery, ornate, and strung together by their stems: “fatalism, Fela Kuti, razor thin” / “smash the superstitions with acid tabs and some Sufi visions” / “deep dive Sonny Liston” / “Walt Whitman.”
The track reads like a codex. Something crafted in a scriptorium. His words are warfare—double-tracked/double-barreled—and he slips into braggadocio to prove it. It’s an authoritative posture of experience. Having started atomically small—from Breaking Atoms bedroom listening, to Atoms Family—Alaska’s flow presents nuclear now: maximum damage.
There’s a refinement to what this duo is doing: “Me and Zilla well-established with a lavish vision. / Both hands crusty with Ikonklastic Panzerism.” The boasts rely on royal diction: Camelot, palace doors, Prince Paul. Each man a king, a God, and each one should teach one. Mentor texts for the masses.
Tumblr media
4.  
Rammellzee is an equation, And simply stated it’s the way of life I’m chasing. That’s why I praise the future-Gothic future-prophet. Gotta rock it, don’t stop it, Gotta rock it, don’t stop.
You find diversions on the song, exits into familiar chambers. GZA quotations (“I was the thrilla in the Ali-Frazier Manila”) and allusions to Main Source. Large Professor rapped “Dead is my antonym,” and if that’s to be proven true, money needs to be removed from the equation. The refrain of “Gotta rock it” not only calls to mind “Beat Bop,” Herbie Hancock, and Grand Mixer DS.T (or his later incarnation, DXT), but rockets—Afrofuturist angles, future shocks (Bill Laswell [Material], friend to Rammellzee, had a hand in all this). It’s not so much a “future-prophet” as a “future profit.” “Freedom in the process” means creativity without expectation, without the constraints of market value.
Tumblr media
Alaska gives it to us straight: “I don’t care if you don’t like it, and I don’t care if you don’t buy it / ’Cause I find freedom in the process.” Despite becoming increasingly complex in his visual approach—like a heap of garbage that loses the definition of its component parts over the ages—Rammellzee understood time equals clarity of vision. A wasted world becomes a meaningful one. Of course, we got to pay rent, so money connects, but ownership of one’s art is about empowerment. “Selling out” is the opposite—an evisceration of one’s self and spirit. “We lost control from the second we sold the art,” Alaska raps. “We sold our future….We should be seeking enlightenment.”
The moment arrives, epiphanically: “I find freedom in the process so I’m grateful, / And that’s my main source: it’s my friendly game of baseball.” For Alaska and Zilla Rocca, it’s not a job—it’s a passion, a pastime.
Tumblr media
5.  Nascent imagination deep inside a battle station.
Post-9/11 meant luxury apartments displaced Rammellzee’s Battle Station loft, his living museum. But the art has been excavated and exists posthumously. His Gothic Futurism and Ikonoklast Panzerism seem at home archived on the internet—a network that appears more like a chaos cloud. Rammellzee deconstructed and transcended language—junk monk scripts and calligraphic cut-ups of consumerism. His art is the empowerment a recycling arrow-triangle could only hope to be. Recycle is also rebirth. Rammellzee’s career path is circuitous, deep-tunneled (subway-esque), eternal.
Similarly, Alaska’s multisyllabic patterns are an endless barrage, like weaponized letters tilted sideways, like bottle rockets angled into a bottle’s neck: “Armament / Now my names are built like a BattleBot / Locked inside an ad hoc Camelot, I rather not / Tangle with a rabid lot, hop inside a rabbit hole.”
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”
Boredom can make trouble, but boredom can also breed creativity. Alaska rather not spar with trolls under ISP bridges—though he’s equipped to. Instead, he channels his energies into material.
Tumblr media
6.  Our culture is done. We lived it.
Near the end, Alaska paraphrases Rammellzee: “I’m not the first or the last to don the mask. / I see it as a title, I’m monastic with these raps.”
Living a life of art—making it regardless of accolade or monetary payment—is the highest form of creativity. Live the art and die by it, like Stan Brakhage, poisoning himself at a slow pace as he applied toxic dyes to celluloid film. Like Rammellzee executing graffiti pieces maskless, huffing the carcinogenic fumes.
MF DOOM (née Zev Love X)—a Rammellzee descendant—taught us how to revel in anonymity, the importance of not spotlighting yourself, but instead seeking out the shade, secret passageways, and the trapdoor in the stage floor. Not all of us heed the advice, but some do, and they feel the throb of real success, not the sort that shows up in bank statements and 401(k) plans.

Biggest Fights Occurring in Asia?
I have no idea - but here’s my list:
5. Naoya Inoue - Nonito Donaire; November 7, 2019; Saitama, Japan
Tumblr media
A recent fight, sure - but one that I think will go down in history as a classic fight between future Hall of Famers. This fight unified WBA and IBF super-bantamweight titles, determined the Ali Trophy for the winner of the WBSS tournament, and was the 2019 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year.
Full review here.
Tumblr media
4. Fighting Harada - Eder Jofre I and II
a) Harada - Jofre I, May 18, 1965; Nagoya, Japan
Tumblr media
The 38-3 Masahiko Harada (aka the FIghting Harada) bested 47-0-3 Eder Jofre of Brazil to take Jofre’s WBA and WBC bantamweight titles. It was a hotly contested split decision in front of a crowd of 12,000.
Tumblr media
Loving the big FH on Harada’s trunks.
Tumblr media
Some highlights here.
Tumblr media
b) Harada - Jofre II, May 31, 1966; Tokyo, Japan
Tumblr media
Jofre and Harada ran it back a year later in Tokyo in front of 15,000. Harada again won by decision - this time unanimous - over the Brazilian.
Harada’s big FH again on his left front leg:
Tumblr media
Highlights here.
The Fighting Harada would defend his titles until 1968, losing them to Australian Lionel Rose. He retired 55-7, having won titles at featherweight and bantamweight, and is considered one of the greatest (and most famous) Japanese boxers of all-time. Ring Magazine named him #32 on their list of greatest fighters over the last 80 years. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995.
Jofre would finish his career 72-2-4 and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Ring Magazine ranked him the 19th greatest fighter of the last 80 years in 2002, and their 85th hardest puncher. 
3. Muhammad Ali - Joe Bugner II, June 30, 1975; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tumblr media
22,000 fans watched in person and millions watched on close circuit in 60 countries around the world as Muhammad Ali defended his WBC and WBA heavyweight belts at Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
Tumblr media
Full fight:
youtube
Ali won by unanimous decision.
Tumblr media
43 years would go by until a WBA belt was decided again in Kuala Lumpur. (Details of that fight here.)
2. Mike Tyson - Buster Douglas, February 11, 1990; Tokyo, Japan
Tumblr media
The 1990 Upset of the Year (and one of the great upsets in sports history) took place in the Tokyo Dome after Japan apparently paid $6M to boxing officials for the rights to stage the fight in Tokyo. As most know, Buster Douglas, a 42-1 underdog, did the unthinkable and imponderable by knocking out Mike Tyson. As a result, a routine championship defense became a enduring sports and cultural reference point.
Tumblr media
Full SMF review here.
Tumblr media
1. The Thrilla In Manila: Muhammad Ali - Joe Frazier III, October 1, 1975; Manila, Philippines
Tumblr media
In the least surprising end to any list - the Thrilla in Manila takes the #1 spot here. This is considered among the greatest boxing matches of all time by nearly any metric.
As most know, Ali beat Frazier in their rubber match in exceedingly hot and humid conditions. Despite a Herculean effort, Frazier could not answer the bell in the 15th round.
Tumblr media
The fight was shown on close circuit all over the United States as well as nearly 70 countries around the world. 27,000 people attendance in person, including notorious Philippine President Marcos and 1st Lady Imelda.
Tumblr media
Ali-Frazier III was named the 1975 fight of the year by Ring Magazine. In 1996 Ring Magazine called it the greatest fight of all time. In 1999 ESPN ranked the Thrilla in Manila as the 5th greatest sporting event of any kind. Full fight below:

My Favorite Movies Starring Denzel Washington
It is always interesting arrive across an actor who, while extremely talented, takes a little extra time to work his high to widespread acclaim. One actor is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Roughly 20 years, Hoffman has appeared numerous movies but hasn't necessarily starred in that person. I guess you know he has got his big break, and has the liberty to choose whichever roles he wants. teamviewer crack free download recognizes that he must match the wits about a daring and confident criminal, but things get complex when a lady named Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) enters the fray at the request to a very important person. A person knows who she is or what she does, but she seems to take a wide regarding connections cracksum with normal folks in high places. Three people get their own agenda, but it's Frazier's job to solve the case before it's too missed. Ali supported his self-affirmations with all the hard work, dedication, and discipline a victor needs to turn into and remain a champion. He was not even close being "all talk and no action." He lived together with his belief that he or she was "the greatest." I don't know if he learned this from someone or maybe it was intuitive for him. James Brown's life story should be placed on the actual for his final you owe. Elvis, the Beatles, Ray Charles, have had their life stories grace the big screen (the former two multiple movies and tv shows) and it has way regular past time to give this man his due also. I love listening towards the "STEVE HARVEY MORNING SHOW" and the "MICHAEL BASDEN SHOW" on the inside afternoon, but neither hardly play any music by these two R&B tales. Musical styles change (disco, rap, other people.) but the roots are old school music which we should never forget. The Instant Internet Lifestyle program has an 8-step system offering ten hours of wonderful content, easy to understand video tutorials,100% Money Back Guarantee (no questions asked). The good thing about the program is that Lee McIntyre is selling the program for a restricted amount of their time for only $19.95. I'm not really even likely to tell you how much it's sold for in the past. I lied, I will tell you. He has sold this enter in the past for $497.00. That's right! The amount of content that he gives you is simply incredible. cleaner pro crack is difficult to imagine he is very giving out all info for only $19.95. I can assure you that you'll be glued in your PC screen from period you stick in your first DVD up until the time the finished. Tinker Hatfield, fresh associated with designing the Jordan III, was tasked to design the Jordan IV. All he did was design another must-see. The newest design concept that Hatfield invested in the IV was placing straps assisting the shoe for increased ankle support. As a result, it was virtually impossible for Michael to sprain his ankle. The other design element who had never been seen before was the texturing for the midsole that gave ugly black speckled cement. Michael jordan continued to dominate the NBA while wearing the Jordan IV. That year MJ won another scoring title averaging 36.5 points a game. He also made a shape in the All-Star game and was named First Team NBA and All Defense. So, I need you start thinking phrases of of getting things shifting your very. Hit those auditions. Build your reel. avast pro antivirus crack acting curriculums. Write more than one screenplay. Network with everybody in the business. Deliver a report. Put yourself on the radar screen! Prone to are truly working hard, I guarantee you a stimulus will find and discover you! Opportunity meets willingness. Peace!

How Denzel Washington Celebrates Thanksgiving in American Gangster
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Denzel Washington’s Frank Lucas in Ridley Scott’s American Gangster is exactly that: an American gangster. The real Frank Lucas was born in North Carolina so dirt poor that he never even attended school. But he could have taught at any business college. His success is the American dream, and he has a lot to be grateful for. Washington’s Lucas is also a traditionalist in the 2007 crime epic, and he celebrates Thanksgiving “the American way.” He throws a family feast, leads his family in grace, and gives out turkeys to the needy and the greedy.
After an introductory and incendiary business lesson, American Gangster opens on Thanksgiving. Harlem Godfather Bumpy Johnson (Clarence Williams III) is standing on the back of a freight truck, giving out turkeys to the less fortunate. The crowds are cheering, and he calls Frank over bask in the loving spotlight. His young protégé demurs, allowing his boss to be the sole beneficiary of the mass gratitude for this act of beneficence. This title tells us this is Harlem in 1968, and the appreciation rising from the streets shows this is true soul food.
The tradition of gangsters giving back to their community is a time-honored one. Chicago crime boss Al Capone personally donated 5,000 turkeys on Thanksgiving Day 1930–although some reports say it was beef stew–through his State Street soup kitchen, the Loop. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Federal Surplus Relief Corporation wouldn’t be formed until October 1933. The first food banks opened in 1967. Mob figures were always ahead of the curve. James “Whitey” Bulger handed out turkeys on the South End of Boston. Lucas also gave them out, as did mobster Raymond Marquez.
In director Mario Van Peeble’s 1991 gangster classic, New Jack City, Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes) and his Cash Money Brothers get caught, in part, because of their public shows of festive generosity. Bryan and Slim Williams were so moved by the film they founded Cash Money Records, and also gave away Thanksgiving dinners. Gangsta rappers have continued the tradition. Oakland rapper Stanley Cox, AKA Mistah F.A.B., who even name drops Frank Lucas in “You Got Bodied,” has been sponsoring annual turkey drives for years.
In American Gangster, Lucas drives past rival gangster Nicky “Mr. Untouchable” Barnes’ (Cuba Gooding Jr.) annual turkey giveaway. He doesn’t put in an appearance because he is making a special delivery. Frank normally dresses business conservative, classy but downplayed, but he exhibits conspicuous consumption during “The Fight of the Century.” He shows up at the Ali-Frazier fight wearing a matching chinchilla coat and hat with a combined retail price tag of $75,000. This catches the attention of Special Investigations Detective Trupo (Josh Brolin), who has never even gotten “a cup of coffee” from the successful mobster. “There’s something wrong there,” Trupo says in the film. “Pay your bills, Frank.”
Well, this makes Lucas feel the same way Ebenezer Scrooge felt after a visit from his old partner in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and he responds the same way. Lucas doesn’t scrimp on the prize bird. This is no frozen grocery surplus that fell off the back of a truck. The Harlem gangster delivers a live turkey to the jive turkey. Not wanting credit for his largesse, he leaves the big bird in a cage.
As Trupo is admiring his new feathered friend, Lucas sends his most meaningful Thanksgiving greeting, blowing up the special investigator’s prized Shelby Mustang. “I loved that car,” Trupo would later admit to Frank, who simply and understandably says “I know.” But the gangster does offer some amends. When the detective finds “Blue Magic,” the pure heroin which is being distributed throughout the tri-state area, in Frank and his brother Huey’s (Chiwetel Ejiofor) car, Lucas is still in the holiday mood. “Zip it up, throw it back in the trunk, we’re gonna go home to our wives, have some warm apple pie, apple cider.”
Frank is not ostentatious in his business, his charity, or his presentation. He winds up burning the attention-getting chinchilla coat. Thanksgiving dinner at his mother’s (Ruby Dee) house is elaborate but traditional. Lucas, like Bumpy before him, spends a lot of time with Italian gangsters, and takes their advice and counsel seriously. If this extended to holiday cuisine, the Lucas family would have started with antipasto, followed by a pasta dish, something like stuffed shells, manicotti or lasagna, but baked ziti is perfectly acceptable. Then he would have served the turkey, as well as possibly a ham, and followed that with pastries, espresso, and sambuca.
With a screenplay by Steven Zaillian (Gangs of New York), American Gangster has many parallels to Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, yet also runs counter to the film in important ways. Lucas is portrayed as a ruthless businessman who goes to church regularly, and puts fresh flowers on the grave of Bumpy Johnson with the same consistency. Scott cuts from the family dinner to the junkies who make up the collateral damage of Lucas’ success, but the gangster still comes across as a family man, religious and faithful. He marries Eva (Lymari Nadal) in a church wedding, and his final arrest is a deconstruction of The Godfather‘s baptism scene. While it provides an alibi for Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in Coppola’s film, the church is no final refuge for Washington’s most American gangster in Ridley’s gangster epic.
The Lucas family’s holiday meal is very American. It has all the fixings, and the whole family attends. Frank asks them all to hold hands as he prays to God to “feed our souls with heavenly grace.” But there is one soul who is not graced with a turkey, and he’s the one who could use it the most.
Russell Crowe’s Det. Richie Roberts is not an afficionado of fine cuisine, to put it mildly. Mobsters eat well, from the sloppy sausage sandwiches Sonny Corleone (James Caan) scrapes direct from the pot in The Godfather through the razor-thin sliced garlic on the jail cuisine in Goodfellas, to the sweet Charlotte Russe in Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America. In American Gangster, Mafia boss Dominic Cattano (Armand Assante) explains how Frank “upsets the natural order” of things when he monopolizes his brand. But Det. Roberts celebrates Thanksgiving with a tuna sandwich on white bread. He doesn’t even put bread crumbs or mayo on it for binding. He loads it with potato chips. That is an unnatural celebration no one should order.
So who’s the real American that day?

#UnDíaComoHoy: 30 de octubre en la historia
El 30 de octubre es el día 302º día del año. Quedan 62 días para finalizar el año. Estos son algunos de los eventos más destacados que ocurrieron un día como hoy 30 de octubre.
-1751: nace Richard Brinsley Sheridan, poeta, dramaturgo y político irlandés-inglés.
-1762: nace André Chénier, poeta francés. Fue ejecutado durante el periodo del Terror de la Revolución francesa acusado de «crímenes contra el Estado». Su poesía sensual y emotiva le convirtió en uno de los precursores del Romanticismo. Hermano del político y escritor Marie-Joseph Chénier. La vida de André inspiró el libreto de la ópera del compositor Umberto Giordano Andrea Chénier y se recrea también en la novela de Charles Dickens Historia de dos ciudades.
-1793: en Francia, todos los girondinos son condenados a muerte.
-1821:  nace Fiódor Dostoyevski, novelista ruso. La literatura de Dostoyevski exploró la psicología humana en el complicado contexto político, social y espiritual de la sociedad rusa del siglo XIX. Es considerado uno de los escritores más grandes de la literatura rusa. Esencialmente un escritor de mitos, Dostoyevski creó una obra con una inmensa vitalidad y un poder casi hipnótico caracterizada por los siguientes rasgos: escenas febriles y dramáticas donde los personajes se mueven en atmósferas escandalosas y explosivas, ocupados en apasionados diálogos socráticos, la búsqueda de Dios, el mal y el sufrimiento de los inocentes. Dostoyevski sufría de epilepsia y su primer ataque ocurrió cuando tenía nueve años. Los ataques ocurrieron esporádicamente durante su vida y se cree que esas experiencias formaron las bases para la descripción de la epilepsia del príncipe Myshkin en su novela “El Idiota” y la de Smerdiákov en “Los hermanos Karamázov”. Entre sus obras destacaron: “Pobres Gentes” (1846,) “El Doble” (1846,) “Una Novela en Nueve Cartas” (1847), “Noches Blancas” (1848) “Niétochka Nezvánova” (1849), “Stepanchikovo y sus Habitantes” (1859), “Humillados y Ofendidos” (1861), “Recuerdos de la Casa de los Muertos” (1861-1862), “Memorias del Subsuelo” (1864), “Crimen y Castigo” (1866), “El Jugador” (1866), “El Idiota” (1868-1869), “El Eterno Marido” (1870), “Los Endemoniados” (1871-1872), “El Adolescente” (1875), “Los Hermanos Karamázov” (1879-1880) “Diario de un Escritor” (1873-1881).
-1897: nace Agustín Lara, cantautor y actor mexicano.
-1910: en Orihuela, provincia de Alicante (España), nació el poeta y dramaturgo Miguel Hernández, quien tuvo especial relevancia en la literatura española del siglo XX, entre otras cosas, por haber sido parte del ejército republicano durante la Guerra Civil española. Al terminar la guerra Hernández fue a la cárcel donde falleció de tuberculosis el 28 de marzo de 1942. Tenía sólo treinta y un años de edad.
-1922: en Italia, a dos días de la Marcha sobre Roma, el rey Víctor Manuel III nombra Primer Ministro a Benito Mussolini. El Líder del Partido Nacional Fascista, Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, asumió el cargo de primer ministro de Italia un día como hoy, en el año 1922, cargo en el que se mantuvo por más de veinte años. En el año 1922 Mussolini inició la llamada revolución fascista, caracterizada por los numerosos actos de violencia y agresiones a sus adversarios políticos por parte de los “camisas negras”. Mussolini afirmaba públicamente el derecho del fascismo a gobernar el país, y el 28 de octubre de 1922 llevó a cabo la “Marcha sobre Roma”, una gran manifestación que culminó en la renuncia del primer ministro italiano. El rey Víctor Manuel III no opuso resistencia al avance de Mussolini, quien formó un nuevo gobierno con poderes absolutos, negándole la voz a los partidos opositores.
-1938: mientras millones de oyentes estadounidenses sintonizaban la radio CBS, se narró una invasión de marcianos asesinos y despiadados. De acuerdo con el programa de radio, los extraterrestres habían aterrizado en Chicago y St. Louis, aniquilado las fuerzas de defensa y envenenado el aire con gases tóxicos, entre otros terribles actos. Parte de la audiencia se había perdido el inicio del programa, en el cual se explicaba que Orson Welles estaba haciendo un radioteatro inspirado en el libro de ciencia ficción “La Guerra de los Mundos” de H.G. Welles. Se estima que casi un millón de personas pensaron que todo lo narrado estaba verdaderamente sucediendo. Algunos intentaron huir en auto, mientras otros, desesperadamente, les pedían máscaras de gas a la policía. Cuando el pánico en las calles llegó a los estudios de la CBS, Orson Welles, quien en aquel entonces tenía solo 23 años de edad, se apresuró a aclarar a los oyentes que todo era ficción. La Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones investigó el caso, pero no encontró ninguna ley que hubiera sido quebrantada. En contra de sus propios pronósticos, (Welles pensaba que este hecho iba a significar el final de su carrera) el joven director fue contratado por un estudio de Hollywood y unos años después, en 1941, dirigió, escribió, produjo y protagonizó “Ciudadano Kane”, considerada por muchos como la mejor película estadounidense de todos los tiempos.
-1948: en Grecia estalla la guerra civil entre la guerrilla comunista y el Gobierno.
-1960: nació Diego Armando Maradona, considerado por muchos como uno de los más grandes futbolistas de la historia. Uno de los momentos más importantes de su carrera fue el Mundial de 1986, en México, ganado por Argentina, donde Maradona cumplió un rol clave. Diego comenzó su carrera en el fútbol profesional jugando en Argentinos Juniors, luego pasó por Boca Juniors y Newell’s Old Boys. En Europa jugó en el FC Barcelona, en el Nápoles y en el Sevilla FC. Su carrera estuvo siempre rodeada de controversia, producida principalmente por su adicción a las drogas, sus declaraciones en contra de los líderes FIFA y sus enfrentamientos con la prensa. Como entrenador, dirigió a la Selección Argentina en el Mundial de Sudáfrica, al Wasl FC de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. También ocupó el cargo de vicepresidente de la Comisión de Fútbol de Boca Juniors y se desempeñó como comentarista deportivo y conductor de televisión.
-1967: nace Gavin Rossdale, guitarrista de la banda británica Bush.
-1974: en Kinshasa, República Democrática del Congo, se libra el mítico combate de boxeo entre Muhammad Alí y George Foreman. En una calurosa noche, Foreman, que defendía su cinturón, logrado contra todo pronóstico ante Joe Frazier, no pudo con el estilo de Ali. El nuevo campeón, en toda una lección de boxeo, aguantó todos los ataques de su rival y le tumbó en el octavo asalto en una pelea que será recordada por siempre. Dos películas recuerdan este histórico combate. ‘Cuando éramos reyes’, de 1996 y dirigida por Leon Gast, se llevó el Oscar al mejor documental de ese año. ‘Ali’, del año 2001 y dirigida por Michael Mann, presentaba a modo biográfico la vida de Cassius Clay desde su pelea del 25 de febrero de 1964 con Sonny Liston y hasta la victoria sobre Foreman.
-1975: en España, el príncipe Juan Carlos De Borbón asume la Jefatura del Estado, por enfermedad del dictador Francisco Franco. Con esto se marcará el fin de la dictadura de más de 36 años del general Franco. En la madrugada del próximo 20 de noviembre, el general falleció. El mecanismo sucesorio funcionó con rapidez y dos días más tarde, el Príncipe fue proclamado Rey de España.
-1975: nace Marco Scutaro, beisbolista venezolano. En la Liga de Béisbol Venezolana jugó con los Leones del Caracas. Desde pequeño practicaba tanto el fútbol como el béisbol. Fue a los 16 años que decició dedicarse de lleno al béisbol. En 1992 represento a Venezuela en la copa mundial de béisbol que se realizó en Ciudad de México. Recorrió todos los niveles de las ligas menores en Estados Unidos por nueve años, empezando por la organización de los Indios de Cleveland en 1993, en el 2002 se convirtió en el venezolano 144 en jugar en las Grandes Ligas al debutar con los Mets de Nueva York. En 2012, recibió el premio como Jugador más Valioso (MVP) de la Serie de campeonato por la Liga Nacional (NLCS) con los Gigantes de San Francisco.
-1978: nace Matthew Morrison, actor, cantante, músico y bailarín. Conocido por interpretar el papel de Will Schuester en Glee.
-1981: nace Shaun Sipos, actor canadiense. Conocido por ser parte de producciones como Melrose Place, Life Unexpected, The Vampire Diaries, entre otras.
-1983: en Argentina ―tras siete años de dictadura― Raúl Alfonsín gana las elecciones presidenciales democráticas.
-2001: en Estados Unidos, Michael Jackson lanza su último álbum de estudio en vida, Invincible.
-2007: se inaugura oficialmente la ampliación del Museo Del Prado, la mayor experimentada por el museo en sus casi dos siglos. El Museo Nacional del Prado es uno de los más importantes del mundo, así como uno de los más visitados (el undécimo en 2010). Visitar el Museo Nacional del Prado es acercarnos hacia alguna de las obras más valiosas del arte, como Las Meninas de Diego Velázquez, Las Majas de Goya y El Jardín de las Delicias de El Bosco, entre otros tantos ejemplos para admirar. Si bien es un museo de pinturas y esculturas, también se exhiben colecciones de monedas, medallas, dibujos, grabados y objetos de decoración. Este museo surgió de las vastas colecciones de arte que poseían los monarcas españoles a lo largo de los siglos, tal como sucedió con el Museo del Louvre de París y los Uffizi de Florencia. Actualmente, es el museo que cuenta con mayor cantidad de obras de arte por metro cuadrado.
