Non-musical history for today: 1865 – Former Confederate officers Frank McCord, Richard Reed, John Lester, John Kennedy, J. Calvin Jones, and James Crowe formed the Ku Klux Klan. That’s mighty “Christ”masy of them. Yeah, not at all.

Non-musical history for today: 1815 – The novel Emma by Jane Austen was first published. I included this because my wife is a huge fan. Did you know that the movie Clueless, with Alicia Silverstone, was basically a loose retelling of this story? Yep.

Non-musical history for today: 401 – Pope Innocent I was elected, the only pope to succeed his father in the office. Now, there’s debate as to whether he was actually the son of Anastasius I. Still, regardless of actual lineage, the fact that it hasn’t happened since (or before) is amazing seeing how many Popes there have actually been (267 officially, 268 unofficially).

Non-musical history for today: 1879 – World premiere of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. Apropos of nothing, I think Henrik Ibsen has one of the coolest beards ever. Look him up. You’ll see.

Non-musical history for today: 1860 – South Carolina became the first state to attempt to secede from the United States with the South Carolina Declaration of Secession. Because this is the holiday season, I’ll not go off about how stupid this was. But, it was!

Non-musical history for today: 1776 – Thomas Paine published one of a series of pamphlets in The Pennsylvania Journal entitled “The American Crisis,” using the pseudonym “Common Sense.” The first line reads: “These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

Non-musical history for today: 1944 – The Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Korematsu v. United States, supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, which cleared the way for the incarceration of nearly all 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, born and raised in the United States. Sounds eerily similar to what ICE and USNG are up to right now. It’s also theorized that George Lucas modeled Order 66 of the Republic after this, as it targets a single group of people. At least Roosevelt didn’t order extermination. Not that it didn’t happen.

Non-musical history for today: 1989 – The Simpsons premiered on television with the episode “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” Many call The Simpsons an ’80s show. Technically, it is because they were conceived for the Tracy Ulman Show. But, this is the only full-length episode of the series to air in the 1980s. It wasn’t supposed to be the first episode, but something happened along the way for the intended episode (“Some Enchanted Evening”).
