...and it came to pass that upon his return, Dr. Funkenstein did find the planet to have completely lost the beat of the Funkentelechy and had fallen prey to the Placebo Syndrome, spread throughout the galaxy by the infamous Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk. Driven by the genius of desperation, Funkenstein sends Star Child to do battle, armed with his greatest invention of all time-the BOP GUN!

On this day in 1957, Louis Armstrong, in his hotel room in Grand Forks, North Dakota, blew his top over the Little Rock Central High School integration crisis, blasting Governor Orval Faubus for being "two-faced" and President Dwight Eisenhower for having "no guts" to let Faubus call in the National Guard in to prevent black students from integrating the high school. "The way they are treating my people in the South, the government can go to hell," he vented. "It's getting so bad a colored man hasn't got any country."

Armstrong put his entire career on the line to speak out against injustice as his September 17 North Dakota comments made headlines around the world. However, a recently discovered private reel-to-reel tape owned by Armstrong found the trumpeter venting about Faubus and the Little Rock situation to interviewers on September 8 and September 10. He had spent over a week telling anyone who would listen about the injustice going on in Little Rock but it wasn't until reporter Larry Lubenow of North Dakota ran with Armstrong's September 17 comments that the story blew up.

Armstrong received little support at the time, instead getting more criticism from both the white and black press. Today, his stance is celebrated as a landmark moment in Civil Rights. He knew what he had done. He cut out various clipping about the incident, wrapped them in Scotch tape and stuck them in a scrapbook. This is Armstrong's copy of a Pittsburgh Courier story about his Little Rock comments, containing some of his fiercest statements on the subject. We're glad he saved it and we're glad he spoke out. Thanks, Pops.

MEMPHIS MINNIE (1897-1973) aka Lizzie Douglas, was born in Algiers, Louisiana. She was an incredible, original icon of the blues, recording an astouding 200 or more sides from the 1920's into the early 1950's, sometimes solo, or in duets with husbands Kansas Joe McCoy, and Little Son Joe Lawlor, or, in later years, in combos. She was a great pioneer in a world dominated by men. She had a declamatory, vibrant voice and rockin' guitar style. She wrote her own hits, "Bumble Bee," "Me and My Chauffeur," "What Fault You Find of Me?" "When the Levee Breaks" "I'm So Glad I Don't Know What To Do," and so many other wonderful songs. I just love her, what a true and great and powerful artist!
