Reggie and the Mahlers
Atlanta Braves left hander Mickey Mahler and New York Yankees’ outfielder Reggie Jackson were not pleased tonight. In the Yankees’ half of the fourth inning of a game that the Yankees won, 8-3, Reggie attempted a bunt. No, you read that correctly. Reggie tried to bunt. Of course, the ball went foul, and Mahler’s next pitch came close to Jackson, who hit a ground ball to the right of first baseman Dale Murphy on Mahler’s next delivery.

The Psychedelic Era: The Philisophical Side
IT'S BACK!! The true "History" in the History of Rock returns with the most complex and interesting of all of rock's many facets, psychedlia. Streching from 1965 to the end of 1969, this will pretty much conclude the chronological history of rock, as even though I'm willing to discuss the seventies and eighties, I refuse to go year by year (it's just not that good, people). This week, we start with the theory behind this music. We will continue in the weeks to come with artists, albums, events and yearly overviews. Rock on!
