In 1629 – Charles I of England, in the fourth year of his reign, dissolves his third Parliament. Charles and Parliament had been feuding since the death of the 1st Duke of Buckingham the year before, and Charles, citing the divine right of kings and royal prerogative, ruled as an absolute monarch until 1640, when he summoned a new Parliament to raise money for a war with Scotland. Charles was executed in 1649.
In 1961 – Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors becomes the first player to score 3,000 points in an NBA season in a 120-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Chamberlain had 32 points in the loss, extending his single-season record. Chamberlain would break the record the next season, and his 4,029 points in 1961-62 remains the NBA record.
In 1984 – Rockwell is at #1 on Billboard’s soul chart – then known as the Hot Black Singles chart – for the second of five consecutive weeks with Somebody’s Watching Me. The song also peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, went #6 pop in Great Britain, and was Billboard’s 12th-biggest soul song of the year. It was the first of four soul hits for Rockwell and remains his only #1 song. Rockwell’s real name is Kennedy Gordy, the son of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch life from the sidelines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day’s work an achievement for an eternity.
