I hadn't been to the website for the Athens Music Family Tree in awhile. Looks like it has taken shape. I hope folks keep building up the site as it's a neat local resource to have.

At the risk of sounding like another blog's post, this is one of my favorite Wikipedia entries.

Yesterday, I got a flyer for the "Discover Prophecy Seminar". One of the lecture series is this one:
It really worried me - beyond the image of young Liam Neeson holding a radioactive isotope. ... What attacks of Feb. 11th? Did I miss a news story a few days back? Was this a long time ago? Or is it yet to come and therefore worth paying to attend this seminar? (That's how they get ya!) Well, I did some research, and it could have been any number of things:
1944: German troops re-conquer Aprilia Italy
(Attack of Panzer Divisions)
1964: Beatles 1st live appearance in US; Washington DC Coliseum
(Attack of Beatlemania)
1964: Greek & Turks begin fighting in Limassol, Cyprus
(Attack of olive-producing countries)
1968: Israeli-Jordan border fight
(Attack of never-ending reprisal attacks)
1969: Dorey Funk Jr beats Gene Kiniski in Tampa, to become NWA champion
(Wrastlin' Attack!)
1979: Iran's premier Bakhtiar resigns, Ayatollah Khomeini seizes power
(Attack of the A-holes.)
1986: Iran begins Fajr-8 offensive against Iraq
(Ditto.)
1990: James "Buster" Douglas KOs Mike Tyson to win heavyweight boxing crown
(Attack of Angry Gamblers)
1990: Nelson Mandela (political prisoner-27 years) freed in South Africa
("Now it's time for some payback" Attack)
1993: Howard Stern's radio show begins transmitting to Rochester NY (WRQI)
(Attack of the commercial breaks)
So, not sure what they're referring to, but I hope it's one of those. If any of y'all attend the seminar, please let us know!
