Shifty Shellshock, um dos vocalistas dos Crazy Town, morreu há dois anos...

Seth Brooks Binzer (Los Angeles, August 23, 1974 – Los Angeles, June 24, 2024), better known by his stage name Shifty Shellshock, was an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and vocalist, best known for cofounding and fronting the rap rock band Crazy Town, known for their hit song "Butterfly", and less for his solo career. He struggled with drug addiction throughout his life and appeared on the reality television series Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.
Binzer met fellow Crazy Town frontman Bret Mazur in 1992; they started collaborating under the name The Brimstone Sluggers. By early 1999, they formed the group Crazy Town. In 2000, Crazy Town was signed to tour with Ozzfest. They were kicked out after two weeks when Binzer was arrested for throwing a chair through a window while drunk.
The band's single, "Butterfly", was a global hit. It peaked at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and in several other countries including Austria, Denmark, and Norway. The success of the single prompted sales of their debut album, The Gift of Game, to exceed 1.5 million.
Their 2002 follow-up album, Darkhorse, was a commercial failure by comparison, and the band broke up shortly after its release.
(...)
On March 29, 2012, Binzer was admitted to a hospital after losing consciousness. He awakened from the coma and was later released from the hospital.

O astrónomo Fred Hoyle nasceu há cento e onze anos
- O conceito de nucleossíntese nas estrelas foi estabelecido primeiramente por Hoyle em 1946. Isso forneceu uma explicação para a existência de elementos mais pesados que o hélio no universo, basicamente mostrando que elementos críticos como o carbono poderiam ser produzidos nas estrelas e mais tarde incorporados em outras estrelas e planetas quando a estrela "morre". As novas estrelas formadas recentemente já são formadas com esses elementos pesados, e elementos ainda mais pesados são formados a partir deles. Hoyle estabeleceu a teoria de que outros elementos raros podiam ser explicados por supernovas, as explosões gigantes que ocorrem ocasionalmente no universo, cujas temperaturas e pressões seriam requeridas para criar tais elementos.

São João da Cruz nasceu há 484 anos...
Coplas de el alma que pena por ver a Dios
Vivo sin vivir en mí
y de tal manera espero
que muero porque no muero.
I
En mí yo no vivo ya
y sin Dios vivir no puedo
pues sin él y sin mí quedo
éste vivir qué será?
Mil muertes se me hará
pues mi misma vida espero
muriendo porque no muero.
II
Esta vida que yo vivo
es privación de vivir
y assí es contino morir
hasta que viva contigo.
Oye mi Dios lo que digo
que esta vida no la quiero
que muero porque no muero.
III
Estando ausente de ti
qué vida puedo tener
sino muerte padescer
la mayor que nunca vi?
Lástima tengo de mí
pues de suerte persevero
que muero porque no muero.
IV
El pez que del agua sale
aun de alibio no caresce
que en la muerte que padesce
al fin la muerte le vale.
Qué muerte abrá que se yguale
a mi vivir lastimero
pues si más vivo más muero?
V
Quando me pienso alibiar
de verte en el Sacramento
házeme más sentimiento
el no te poder gozar
todo es para más penar
por no verte como quiero
y muero porque no muero.
VI
Y si me gozo Señor
con esperança de verte
en ver que puedo perderte
se me dobla mi dolor
viviendo en tanto pabor
y esperando como espero
muérome porque no muero.
VII
Sácame de aquesta muerte
mi Dios y dame la vida
no me tengas impedida
en este lazo tan fuerte
mira que peno por verte,
y mi mal es tan entero
que muero porque no muero.
VIII
Lloraré mi muerte ya
y lamentaré mi vida
en tanto que detenida
por mis pecados está.
¡O mi Dios!, quándo será
quando yo diga de vero
vivo ya porque no muero?

Hoje é dia de São João...!
Nascimento de São João Batista - Tintoretto (Museu Hermitage, São Petersburgo)
O Nascimento de João Batista (ou Dia de São João ou do Nascimento do Precursor ) é uma festa cristã que celebra o nascimento de João Batista, um profeta que previu o advento do Messias, na pessoa de Jesus Cristo, e que o batizou. Esta festa é amplamente comemorada no mundo cristão no dia 24 de junho e é uma das festas juninas, no Brasil. É também o único santo cujo nascimento e martírio, este último em 29 de agosto, são evocados em duas solenidades pelos católicos.
Zacarias escreve o nome do filho - Domenico Ghirlandaio (fresco na Cappella Tornabuoni, Santa Maria Novella, Florença)
Bendito o Senhor Deus de Israel que visitou e redimiu o seu povo, e nos deu um Salvador poderoso na casa de David, seu servo, conforme prometeu pela boca dos seus santos, os profetas dos tempos antigos, para nos libertar dos nossos inimigos, e das mãos daqueles que nos odeiam. Para mostrar a sua misericórdia a favor dos nossos pais, recordando a sua sagrada aliança, e o juramento que fizera a Abraão, nosso pai, que nos havia de conceder esta graça: de O servirmos um dia, sem temor, livres das mãos dos nossos inimigos, em santidade e justiça, na sua presença, todos os dias da nossa vida. E tu, menino, serás chamado profeta do Altíssimo, porque irás à sua frente a preparar os seus caminhos, para dar a conhecer ao seu povo a salvação pela remissão dos seus pecados, graças ao coração misericordioso do nosso Deus, que das alturas nos visita como sol nascente, para iluminar os que jazem nas trevas e na sombra da morte e dirigir os nossos passos no caminho da paz. Glória ao Pai e ao Filho e ao Espírito Santo. Como era no princípio, agora e sempre. Ámen.

Poema para recordar Anna Akhmatova...

A palavra
caiu pétrea
no meu seio ainda vivo.
Não importa, eu já esperava,
de certo modo eu sabia.
Tenho muito
a fazer hoje:
matar memórias de vez,
para a alma ser de pedra
a viver mais aprender.
Ou ... o estralejar
do ardente Estio
como, além da janela, um feriado.
Há muito tempo já que vinham vindo
o luminoso dia e a vazia casa.
E não
me consentirá
que leve nada comigo
(por mais que eu peça e suplique,
por mais que a moa a rezar):
não
os olhos do meu filho,
sofrimento como pedra,
o dia de tempestade,
nem a hora da visita,
o suave frio
das mãos,
o rugir de sombras de árvore,
nem o distante som leve -
consolação das últimas palavras.
Anna Akhmatova

June Carter Cash nasceu há 97 anos...
June Carter Cash (born Valerie June Carter; Maces Spring, Virginia, June 23, 1929 – Nashville, Tennessee, May 15, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter and dancer. A five-time Grammy award-winner, she was a member of the Carter Family and the second wife of singer Johnny Cash. Prior to her marriage to Cash, she was professionally known as June Carter and occasionally was still credited as such after her marriage (as well as on songwriting credits predating it). She played guitar, banjo, harmonica, and autoharp, and acted in several films and television shows. Carter Cash won five Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
June Carter Cash was born Valerie June Carter in Maces Spring, Virginia, to Maybelle (née Addington) and Ezra Carter. Her parents were country music performers and she performed with the Carter Family from the age of 10, in 1939. In March 1943, when the Carter Family trio stopped recording together at the end of the WBT contract, Maybelle Carter, with encouragement from her husband Ezra, formed "Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters" with her daughters, Helen, Anita, and June. The new group first aired on radio station WRNL in Richmond, Virginia, on June 1. Doc (Addington) and Carl (McConnell) - Maybelle's brother and cousin, respectively, known as "The Virginia Boys", joined them in late 1945. June, then 16, was a co-announcer with Ken Allyn and did the commercials on the radio shows for Red Star Flour, Martha White, and Thalhimers Department Store, just to name a few. For the next year, the Carters and Doc and Carl did show dates within driving range of Richmond, through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. She attended John Marshall High School during this period.[4] June later said she had to work harder at her music than her sisters, but she had her own special talent —comedy.[5] A highlight of the road shows was her "Aunt Polly" comedy routine. With her thin and lanky frame, June Carter often played a comedic foil during the group's performances alongside other Opry stars Faron Young and Webb Pierce. Carl McConnell wrote in his memoirs that June was "a natural-born clown, if there ever was one". Decades later, Carter revived Aunt Polly for the 1976 TV series Johnny Cash & Friends.
After Doc and Carl dropped out of the music business in late 1946, Maybelle and her daughters moved to Sunshine Sue Workman's "Old Dominion Barn Dance" on the WRVA Richmond station. After a while there, they moved to WNOX in Knoxville, Tennessee, where they met Chet Atkins with Homer and Jethro.
In 1949, Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, with their lead guitarist, Atkins, were living in Springfield, Missouri, and performing regularly at KWTO. Ezra "Eck" Carter, Maybelle's husband and manager of the group, declined numerous offers from the Grand Ole Opry to move the act to Nashville, Tennessee, because the Opry would not permit Atkins to accompany the group onstage. Atkins' reputation as a guitar player had begun to spread, and studio musicians were fearful that he would displace them as a 'first-call' player if he came to Nashville. Finally, in 1950, Opry management relented and the group, along with Atkins, became part of the Opry company. Here the family befriended Hank Williams and Elvis Presley (to whom they were distantly related), and June met Johnny Cash.
June and her sisters, with mother Maybelle and aunt Sara joining in from time to time, reclaimed the name "The Carter Family" for their act during the 1960s and '70s.
While June Carter Cash may be best known for singing and songwriting, she was also an author, dancer, actress, comedian, philanthropist, and humanitarian. Director Elia Kazan saw her perform at the Grand Ole Opry in 1955 and encouraged her to study acting. She studied with Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York. Her acting roles included Mrs. "Momma" Dewey in Robert Duvall's 1998 movie The Apostle, Sister Ruth, wife to Johnny Cash's character Kid Cole, on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993–97), and Clarise on Gunsmoke in 1957. She was notable as Mayhayley Lancaster playing alongside husband Cash in the 1983 television movie Murder in Coweta County. June was also Momma James in The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James. She also acted in occasional comedy skits for various Johnny Cash TV programs.
As a singer, she had both a solo career and a career singing with first her family and later her husband. As a solo artist, she became somewhat successful with upbeat country tunes of the 1950s such as "Jukebox Blues" and, with her exaggerated breaths, the comedic hit "No Swallerin' Place" by Frank Loesser. June also recorded "The Heel" in the 1960s along with many other songs.
In the early 1960s, June Carter wrote the song "Ring of Fire", which later went on to be a hit for her future husband, Johnny Cash. She co-wrote the song with fellow songwriter Merle Kilgore. June wrote the lyrics about her relationship with Johnny Cash and she offered the song to her sister Anita Carter, who was the first singer to record the song. In 1963, Johnny recorded the song with the Carter Family singing backup, and added mariachi horns. The song became a number-one hit and went on to become one of the most recognizable songs in the world of country music. In her autobiography, “I Walked the Line”, Johnny's first wife Vivian Cash disputes the myth that June Carter co-wrote the song, "Ring of Fire". Vivian relates the story that Johnny told her in 1963 that he wrote the song with Merle Kilgore and Curly while fishing and that he was going to give June half credit because “She needs the money. And I like her.”
Her first notable studio performance with Johnny Cash occurred in 1964 when she duetted with Cash on "It Ain't Me Babe", a Bob Dylan composition, that was released as a single and on Cash's album Orange Blossom Special. In 1967, the two found more substantial success with their recording of "Jackson", which was followed by a collaboration album, Carryin' On with Johnny Cash and June Carter. All these releases antedated her marriage to Cash (upon which event she changed her professional name to June Carter Cash). She continued to work with Cash on record and on stage for the rest of her life, recording a number of duets with Cash for his various albums and being a regular on The Johnny Cash Show from 1969 to 1971 and on Cash's annual Christmas specials. After Carryin' On, June Carter Cash recorded one more direct collaboration album, Johnny Cash and His Woman, released in 1973, and along with her daughters was a featured vocalist on Cash's 1974 album The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me. She also shared sleeve credit with her husband on a 2000 small-label gospel release, Return to the Promised Land
Although she provided vocals on many recordings, and shared the billing with Cash on several album releases, June Carter Cash only recorded three solo albums during her lifetime: the first, Appalachian Pride, released in 1975, Press On (1999), and Wildwood Flower, released posthumously in 2003 and produced by her son, John Carter Cash. Appalachian Pride is the only one of the three on which Johnny Cash does not perform, while Press On is notable for featuring June Carter Cash singing her original arrangement of "Ring of Fire".
One of her final appearances was a nonspeaking/nonsinging appearance in the music video for her husband's 2003 single, "Hurt", filmed a few months before her death. One of her last known public appearances was on April 7, 2003, just over a month before her death, when she appeared on the CMT Flameworthy awards program to accept an achievement award on behalf of her husband, who was too ill to attend.
She won a Grammy award in 1999 for, Press On. Her last album, Wildwood Flower, won two additional Grammys. It contains bonus video enhancements showing extracts from the film of the recording sessions, which took place at the Carter Family estate in Hiltons, Virginia, on September 18–20, 2002. The songs on the album include "Big Yellow Peaches", "Sinking in the Lonesome Sea", "Temptation", and the trademark staple "Wildwood Flower". Due to her involvement in providing backing vocals on many of her husband's recordings, a further posthumous release occurred in 2014, when Out Among the Stars was released under Johnny Cash's name. The album consists of previously unreleased recordings from the early 1980s, including two on which June Carter Cash provides duet vocals.
Carter was married three times and had one child with each husband. All three of her children went on to have successful careers in country music. She was married first to country singer Carl Smith from July 9, 1952, until their divorce in 1956. Together, they wrote "Time's A-Wastin". They had a daughter, Rebecca Carlene Smith, professionally known as Carlene Carter, a country musician. June's second marriage was to Edwin "Rip" Nix, a former football player and police officer on November 11, 1957. They had a daughter, Rosie Nix Adams, on July 13, 1958. The couple divorced in 1966. Rosie was a country/rock singer. On October 24, 2003, Rosie, aged 45, died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. She and bluegrass musician Jimmy Campbell were on a school bus, which had been converted for travel. Several propane heaters were being used to heat the bus.
Carter and the entire Carter Family had performed with Johnny Cash for a number of years. In 1968, Cash proposed to Carter during a live performance at the London Ice House in London, Ontario. They married on March 1 in Franklin, Kentucky, and remained married until her death in May 2003, just four months before Cash died. The couple's son, John Carter Cash, is a musician, songwriter, and producer.
She also gained four stepdaughters from her third husband’s previous marriage to Vivian Liberto; including Cindy and Rosanne.
Carter's distant cousin, the 39th U.S. president Jimmy Carter, became closely acquainted with Cash and Carter and maintained their friendship throughout their lifetimes. In a June 1977 speech, Jimmy Carter acknowledged that June Carter was his distant cousin.
Carter was a longtime supporter of SOS Children's Villages. In 1974, the Cashes donated money to help build a village near their home in Barrett Town, Jamaica, which they visited frequently, playing the guitar and singing songs to the children in the village.
June Carter Cash also had close relationships with a number of entertainers, including Audrey Williams, James Dean, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Jessi Colter, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Robert Duvall and Roy Orbison.
