![]() With the TV special scheduled to air at 9 that same night, producer Marty Pasetta and his combined, multi-city crew of 500 had to quickly edit the highlights, an astonishing feat in the pre-digital era. ![]() That evening, three simultaneous King concerts took place in Washington, New York and Atlanta, the last one ending at 8 p.m. Wonder and his companies, Wonder Productions and the Wonder Foundation, took charge of the special, which turned out to be a mammoth task. The “All-Star Celebration” was pegged to that momentous day, the first national holiday commemorating an African-American. Everyone’s gonna party.” Finally, that November, the bill passed the House and Senate, and Reagan signed it into law, with the first official observance of Martin Luther King Jr. At a New York show that fall, he chastised those who opposed the plan and told the crowd, “We’re going to party on the 15 th of January. ![]() Wonder, who testified before Congress about the need for the holiday in 1983, kept up the pressure. “If you’re really measuring how much a holiday costs,” Conyers retorted, “then you don’t understand what King was all about.” Republican senators John McCain, Orrin Hatch and Chuck Grassley all voted against it, and notorious North Carolina senator Jesse Helms went so far as to filibuster a 1983 vote on the bill on the grounds that King embodied “hostility to and hatred for America.” Others, like President Reagan, argued that the government would lost $185 million in wages thanks to such a holiday. Michigan Representative John Conyers, a friend of King’s, had first introduced the idea in Congress mere days after King’s death, but support in Washington remained tepid years later, even after Jimmy Carter got behind the holiday proposal shortly before he left office as president.īy 1981, 12 states, including New York, Ohio, Florida and Kentucky, had made King’s birthday a local holiday, but GOP opposition to the national augmentation was fierce. Indeed, the idea of making King’s January 15th birthday a national holiday was proving to be a Sisyphean task. Wonder was realistic about his goals: “If it doesn’t happen this year, we must do it next year and again and again and again until it happens,” he said at a press event before that rally. “But I’m Stevland Morris, a man, a citizen of this country and a human being.” Joined by poet and musician Gil Scot-Heron, he launched into “Happy Birthday.”Įvery Awful Thing Trump Has Promised to Do in a Second Term “I’m not here as Stevie Wonder the artist,” he told the tens of thousands who gathered under cloudy, dreary winter skies. Mall to bring attention to King’s birthday. In January 1981, he participated in a rally at the D.C. He wrote a preliminary version of “Happy Birthday” in 1977, and the song finally made it onto record on 1980’s Hotter Than July, which augmented its chipper synth beats with slyly finger-pointing lyrics: “You know it doesn’t make much sense/There ought to be a law against anyone who takes offense/At a day in your celebration,” Wonder sang.Īlthough “Happy Birthday” didn’t go top 10 when it was released as a single, the song became an emotional highlight at Wonder’s concerts over the following years. ![]() ![]() He’d broken down in tears upon hearing of King’s assassination in 1968 and attended the funeral. Wonder’s connection to King was deep and profound. to grab some of the green glowsticks under the seats once they lit them up, he added, somewhat whimsically, “You look marvelous.” But it was also a serious night, a triumphant climax for Wonder’s nearly decade-long quest to ensure that his hero’s birthday was honored as a national holiday. Before it began, Wonder told the audience at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. At the end of the two-hour telecast, which was titled “An All-Star Celebration Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.,” all those performers - along with Diana Ross, Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Eddie Murphy, Gregory Hines, and others - gathered onstage with Wonder to sing “Happy Birthday,” his jubilant tribute to King. Whitney Houston, energized and vocally stirring, bounded onstage to join Ashford and Simpson for “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”Įven with all that star power, the night belonged to Stevie Wonder. Bob Dylan and his band glided through a gently pulsing, almost R&B take on “I Shall Be Released,” and Dylan joined Peter, Paul and Mary for “Blowin’ in the Wind” - remarkably, the first time all four had ever sung that song together onstage. By network broadcasting standards, the night of January 20th, 1986, had more than its share of rarely-seen-on-TV highlights. ![]() ![]() ![]() □□he then discharged me.and I've not tested positive since.I did start having symptoms of raynauds which really scared me because I didn't know what it was or why it was happening.told my doc about it, he diagnosed me with raynauds and still have symptoms of it, but to a lesser degree than I used to, most of the time. ![]() ![]() Oohhh, that's rough, yes, my doc actually tested me for lupus to be sure because about 20 years ago I tested positive for lupus and my old doc sent me to a rheumy.here was the conversationĭoc: when is your joint pain the worst, in the morning or?

For example, you can now drag and drop to a taskbar icon on Windows 11, just as you can on Windows 10 this feature was missing at launch, but Microsoft restored it in the 22H2 update last year. Some of missing features have been restored. Windows 11’s taskbar appears to be completely rewritten, so it’s not that Microsoft removed features - it just hasn’t found time to add all the classic Windows taskbar features back to Windows 11. Microsoft has removed some taskbar features - sort of. That taskbar is one of the big problems users have with Windows 11. Chris Hoffman, IDG The taskbar is a big step back from Windows 10 The taskbar is different, too, with centered application icons by default, though you could move them back to the left, if you like. Windows 11 has a different-looking interface - and Microsoft has done more work than usual this time, making everything look like part of a more cohesive whole than usual. The Snap feature for multitasking got some big upgrades on Windows 11, too. It has a lot more options, and it also remembers where windows were on your monitors - so, if you unplug a monitor and plug it back in, Windows can move your application windows back to the monitor where they belong. For example, Windows 11 works better with multiple monitors. Under the hood, there are some great things going on in Windows 11. These aren’t particularly important features to most people, and there’s a reason Microsoft dropped them. The “Timeline” feature that let you track your history of applications and tasks from devices you signed into with the same Microsoft account is also gone. Live tiles are gone from the Start menu, for example. Windows 10 has some features that Microsoft dropped in Windows 11, however. The modern Snipping Tool lets you record videos of your desktop, not just take screenshots. There’s a new Widgets menu accessible from the taskbar. For example, you can run Android apps on Windows. Windows 11 has gained some features over Windows 10. So, rather than perpetually piling more features onto Windows 10, Microsoft decided to make those big changes in a new operating system instead, the old-fashioned way. Obviously, that didn’t pan out we now have Windows 11, and I expect Microsoft will announce Windows 12 at some point, too. The idea was that Windows 10 would be continually updated and Microsoft wouldn’t launch another big new version upgrade. Microsoft proclaimed Windows 10 was “ the last version of Windows” when it launched in 2015. But there are PCs I definitely wouldn’t upgrade to Windows 11 - and there are PCs I wouldn’t want to downgrade to Windows 10, either. Some people will prefer it, while others will prefer Windows 11. Until then, Windows 10 will work just fine, and Windows 10 is still a great choice. There’s no rush to upgrade: Microsoft will continue supporting Windows 10 with security updates until October 2025. In particular, Windows 11’s new taskbar remains a work in progress, and I know people who are sticking with Windows 10 for that reason alone. While I use Windows 11 on my main PC - I’m typing this on it right now! - there are some things about Windows 11 that still need work. ![]() It’s modern, it's slick, and it has some features Windows 10 simply doesn’t offer. Windows 11 is also a solid Windows operating system. That’s what a lot of us always wanted! On the other hand, if you do want new features arriving frequently, you’ll need Windows 11. ![]() Maybe even more importantly, Microsoft is done adding big new features to Windows 10, so it’s a solid, stable version of Windows that isn’t getting frequent major updates anymore. It’s gotten a lot of improvements since its initial release. Windows 10 isn’t dead yet: It has years of life left in it. Windows 10 and Windows 11 are both solid operating systems.

Following a violent breakdown in "Part 3", Pink dismisses everyone he knows as "just bricks in the wall." īassist Roger Waters wrote "Part 2" as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools. In "Part 2", traumas involving his overprotective mother and abusive schoolteachers become bricks in the wall. During "Part 1", the protagonist, Pink, begins building a metaphorical wall around himself following the death of his father. They are essentially one verse each, although Part 2 sees its own verse sung twice: once by Floyd members, and the second time by the guest choir along with Waters and Gilmour. The three parts of "Another Brick in the Wall" appear on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera album The Wall. It was nominated for a Grammy Award and was ranked number 384 on Rolling Stone 's list of " The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It sold over four million copies worldwide and topped singles charts in fourteen countries, including in the United Kingdom and the United States. "Part 2" was released as a single, Pink Floyd's first in the United Kingdom since " Point Me at the Sky" (1968). At the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco.

![]() Once you have decided on a topic, introduce it with an engaging opening paragraph. Phrases of Comparison and Contrast Comparisonįirst choose whether you want to compare seemingly disparate subjects, contrast seemingly similar subjects, or compare and contrast subjects. Given that compare-and-contrast essays analyze the relationship between two subjects, it is helpful to have some phrases on hand that will cue the reader to such analysis. The organizational structure you choose depends on the nature of the topic, your purpose, and your audience. According to individual points, discussing each subject in relation to each point.According to the subjects themselves, discussing one then the other.You may organize compare-and-contrast essays in one of the following two ways: Here the thesis sets up the two subjects to be compared and contrasted (organic versus conventional vegetables), and it makes a claim about the results that might prove useful to the reader. Thesis Statement: Organic vegetables may cost more than those that are conventionally grown, but when put to the test, they are definitely worth every extra penny. Take the following thesis as an example that leans more toward contrasting: Remember, the point of comparing and contrasting is to provide useful knowledge to the reader. The thesis could lean more toward comparing, contrasting, or both. The compare-and-contrast essay starts with a thesis that clearly states the two subjects that are to be compared, contrasted, or both and the reason for doing so. ![]() The Structure of a Compare/Contrast Essay The more divergent the two subjects initially seem, the more interesting a comparison essay will be. Rather, you might try to compare how apples and oranges are quite similar. For a comparison essay, you likely would not choose two apples or two oranges because they share so many of the same properties already. Similarly, to focus on comparison, choose two subjects that seem at first to be unrelated. Drawing distinctions between elements in a similar category will increase the audience’s understanding of that category, which is the purpose of the compare-and-contrast essay. For example, Red Delicious apples are sweet, while Granny Smiths are tart and acidic. For example, if you wanted to focus on contrasting two subjects you would not pick apples and oranges rather, you might choose to compare and contrast two types of oranges or two types of apples to highlight subtle differences. The purpose of conducting the comparison or contrast is not to state the obvious but rather to illuminate subtle differences or unexpected similarities. The key to a good compare-and-contrast essay is to choose two or more subjects that connect in a meaningful way. ![]() A compare-and-contrast essay, then, analyzes two subjects by comparing them, contrasting them, or both.
