It's been a while since I've seen new JJ videos. But Come Back To Me is part of Janet Jackson's 1986-87 Control album. Her first album as an independent musical artist. Janet, is 20-21 at this point, but if you see her face you think she was 13-14. A classic baby-faced sweetheart who'll always still seem like a kid and be able to come off as a girl instead of a grown woman.

If you're familiar with the song The First Night from Monica, which I believe came out in 1998 it sounds very similar to Come Back To Me. Both songs are about new romances with the woman trying to tell her new boyfriend that they should wait and not get down right away and spoil whatever they may have working for them. Which is easier said than done when you're talking to a guy in his teens who can't wait to get down especially with a beautiful girl he's just met and is getting involved with.

And Come Back To Me could easily have been delivered from a 15-16 girl, 17-18 even, but it's coming from a 20 year old woman. But again to go back to Janet Jackson she's always seemed a lot younger than she actually is in actuality.

Joe Jetson: 'Ted Kennedy and The Chappaquiddick Tragedy- 7/18/1969'

Source:Joe Jetson- This is the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. Sorry, I always wanted to say that in public.

“An inebriated Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy drove a 1967 Olds 88 into the frigid waters of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts after leaving a party on the night of July 18, 1969. Also in the car with the married Senator Kennedy was Mary Jo Kopechne, a young, single woman, and former employee of the Kennedy’s family. While Kennedy (known to his fellow Democrats as “The Soul Of The Democratic Party”) somehow managed to escape the submerged vehicle, his passenger was not so fortunate. She was left for dead by Teddy, The “Hero of Chappaquiddick”. Kennedy fled the scene on foot and did not report the accident to police until TEN HOURS LATER. Kopechne’s dead body was discovered trapped inside the car the next morning. Somehow, Kennedy managed to avoid murder (or at least manslaughter) charges. He used the corrupt Kennedy political machine to somehow escape full responsibility for this tragedy with only minor Traffic Charges. History records that Kennedy went on to become the Spiritual Leader and an Icon of the Democratic Party. He even had the nerve to try a failed bid for President in 1980, but his this scandalous incident caught up with him, and he was forced to withdraw from the race in disgrace. But that didn’t stop him from doing his best to destroy the USA for thirty more years with failed Liberal Programs which are now finally leading to the moral and financial bankruptcy of our once great nation.”

From Joe Jetson 

Despite this horrible tragedy, Ted Kennedy made a very successful and productive life for himself afterwords. Ted Kennedy, was basically still a frat boy in 1969 even at 37. He was married and already had kids, but wasn’t very serious about his marriage and liked other women. He was still dealing with the assassination of his brother Bobby and perhaps Jack as well. He simply wasn’t ready for the national spotlight and people to be looking at him as the future leader of the country. Because he was still trying to grow up, something that he didn’t really accomplish at all until the mid or late 1990s when he was already in his sixties with grandchildren. Up till then he was still trying to balance his personal life which could be chaotic and his professional life as a U.S. Senator.

If you watched the 2009 HBO documentary about Ted Kennedy which really was Senator Kennedy in his own words I really think you see how responsible and hurt he was from his own childish and immature actions that cost the life of a young woman Mary Joe Kopechne:

First of all, he’s driving this woman home instead of his wife from this party, which I believe is a big clue there. And driving her home when he’s had too much to drink. Ted, was still dealing with alcoholism in his early sixties. He drives the car into a lake and the first thing that comes to his mind is his personal survival. And the second thing his is professional survival. Not the woman who was in the car with him. That came after it looked like he might be held personally responsible for her life.

Of the three Kennedy brothers that served in Congress and had successful careers in politics, Ted Kennedy had the best and longest career. Even though he was never president. But compare his Congressional record with his brothers and most people who have ever served in Congress in either the Senate or House and Senator Kennedy is in the first class, whatever you think of his politics. And all of this despite his lack of maturity and personal responsibility.

Ted was never built to be President of the United States. By the time he was personally ready for that and to even make a strong run at that, he was in his early sixties. And Bill Clinton was already president and the Democratic Party was moving away from Senator Kennedy’s more social democratic politics. But Senator Kennedy, once he finally grew up became a great man and a great senator.

Good Morning America With Bianna Golodryga & Dan Harris: Rachel Smith: 'Tight Skinny Jeans Health Risk- Fashion Trend Might Cause Nerve Damage'

Source:ABC News- Hot skinny jeans? 

"Rachel Smith investigates health problems associated with fashion trend."

Source:ABC News

Yeah, but they'll be around as long as guys likes to check women out in skinny jeans, whether they are denim or leather skinny jeans. 

Not sure if this risk will be around for very long since fashion is so modern and efficient that fashion designers can get around this by designing skin-tight jeans that actually don't put women's health at risk that much. And a lot of this gets to personal responsibility anyway where women instead of going for the tightest denim that they can possibly find, look for skinny jeans that actually fit you and look good on you instead. Which might sound like Capitan Obvious, but too many Americans put style over substance, as well as their own personal health. 

Plus, it's not just women with great legs and butts who look sexy in skinny denims that keep them in business, but because of how versatile that they are, at least if they're dark wash skinny denims, where women can dress them up and even to work, even if they work at an office, or going out, with pretty blouses, blazers, leather jackets, longs sleeve t-shirts, turtlenecks, western and leather belts, going out to nice restaurants. 

Dark wash skinny jeans go perfectly with boots, especially if you are dressing those pants up. But women also feel very sexy in them and those jeans probably make them horny as well. (To be frank)

Jake Hammond: 'Students For a Democratic Society- To Change The World'

Source:Jake Hammond- welcome to black and white America.

“Here is a video I made for a Vietnam project in my history class.” 

From Jake Hammond 

If you want to compare Students For a Democratic Society today with another left-wing organization, Occupy Wall Street, Democratic Socialists of America, perhaps Community Party USA would be the closest. But except for maybe the Communists, you don’t see a militant component in the New-Left today, because most of their members are white-collar, hipster yuppies, who probably want nothing to do with jail and love their personal and economic freedom in America. And are really just part of Occupy or some other New-Left group because they think it’s the cool thing to do and this is what the cool people are doing. 

Source:Students For a Democratic Society- a 2008 SDS rally.

I actually believe as a current affairs blogger that todays Occupy Wall Street movement was born in the 1960s as part of what was called the New-Left. Because if you look at where Students For a Democratic Society were for back then and what they are trying to accomplish then and today, the end of war and that basically means all war, this movement is exactly what a person whose called a dove looks like and is.

A dove is someone who tends to take a soft approach when it comes to areas like national security and foreign policy, law enforcement, areas where government sometimes involves itself in the personal lives of individuals.

Doves were around pre-1965, but they really came alive in the 1960s with the Baby Boom Generation. And some of their kids today that is part of the New-Left who actually grew up, are part of the Occupy Wall Street movement today that’s again anti-war period. But also believes in things that Social Democrats call social justice: creating an economic system that of course is government based that would work to see that there’s economic equality throughout the country. That no one has too much and no one has too little.

The reason why the Democratic Party even has a left-wing today (or what others call Far-Left) is because of the New-Left (Socialists and Communists of the 1960s and 70s) because pre-1965 or so, the Democratic Party was made up of Center-Left Progressives, as well as Center-Right Conservatives, and even Far-Left Neo-Confederates in the South. But there weren’t Socialists in the Democratic Party for the most part back then. The New-Left changed that in the late 1960s and going into the 1970s.

Baltimore Orioles Baseball: 'Orioles Magic: 1983 Baltimore Orioles: Sweet Dreams'

"This video is from the Memories on 33rd Street that was released via VHS by the Baltimore Orioles organization in 1992.

Music: Sweet Dreams by: Eurythmics" 

From Baltimore Orioles Baseball

The Orioles finally come through and win another World Series after being contenders ever since they won their last WS in 1970. 

The Orioles lose the 1979 World Series after being up 3-1 in that series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and then they win 100 games in 1980, but don't even win the AL East and lose the AL East title to the Milwaukee Brewers during the last series of the season in 1982. So finally coming through for Oriole players like Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Ken Singleton, Jon Lowenstein, Gary Roenekie, Rich Dauer, and other players who went through the Oriole disappointments from the late 1970s and early 80s, had to be very special for them in 1983.

1979 Baltimore Orioles Season:

102-57.  1st in the American League East

American League Championship Series:

Baltimore Orioles (3) California Angels (1)

MVP: The A.L. did not award an MVP of the ALCS until 1980. 

1979 World Series:

Pittsburgh Pirates (4) Baltimore Orioles (3)

MVP:  Willie Stargell

Side Notes:

Mike Flanagan won the CY Young award in 1979, going 23-9 with a 3.08 ERA" 

From Baltimore Orioles Baseball

The Orioles had Oriole Magic, the Cleveland Browns had the Kardiac Kids, both nicknames from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The difference being the Orioles were generally good enough to beat their opponents and generally didn't need to have to make miracle comebacks to beat their opponents. 

The Orioles were so good, so disciplined, so professional, Earl Weaver was their manager, that they were never out of any game, especially at Baltimore Memorial Stadium which was an awesome (in the real sense of the word) home field advantage for them in the 1970s and 1980s. 

Mr. Holt History: Martin Luther King Jr.- 'On Love and Nonviolence'

Source:Mr. Holt History- Dr. Martin L. King talking about nonviolence, probably in the 1960s.

“In this clip, Dr. King describes the inter-relationship between love and nonviolence in his theology and practices.”

From Mr Holt History 

I can’t tell you where this interview is from and exactly when it did happen, but only because the person who uploaded this video from where this photo is from didn’t bother to lay that out. But Dr. King was talking about Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, so I’m thinking it was from the 1960s.

Source:Mr. Holt History- Dr. Martin L. King talking about nonviolence, probably in the 1960s.

There were at least two reasons for Dr. King’s message of non-violence:

One, that he actually believed in it. And I’m not trying to suggest that he didn’t, but the other had a political component to it. He knew that for him and his movement to accomplish what it wanted which was equality and civil rights for all Americans, that he needed more than just African-Americans behind him, that he needed Americans of other races because he was facing a simple numbers game.

African-Americans at least to this point were a relatively small minority. And that they couldn’t go up against even just Anglo-Saxon Southerners who had most of the power down South, on their own. And that he also need positive media attention and not look like violent radicals, or anarchists. But serious intelligent people who had a message for the entire country and that they needed their support. Which is how he was able to bring in so many non-African Americans to his movement.

I’m not trying to say that Dr. King was a true pacifist and that if America was under attack from another country, that it shouldn’t fight back and that would be just one example. But he did have a pacifist approach when it came to the civil rights movement. He directed his people and marchers to simply just take it (for lack of a better phrase) put up with the violence which help get out the message of what his movement was facing from the Anglo-Saxon racist establishment in America. Especially from the South. That way to fight back was to show the opposition for what they really were. Which were radical violent racists and win legal and policy battles.
