#TBT By early 1973, Randy Bachman had burned through $97,000 of his Guess Who royalties keeping Brave Belt alive. He was paying the band $175 a week while they toured in a drafty van, eating peanut butter sandwiches. Randy flew to New York and Los Angeles, hand-delivering their third album to every major label in America. The responses came back on identical letterhead. 26 rejections. One such note came from from Charlie Fach's desk at Mercury Records: "Dear Randy, I pass on the tape." Not even signed. Randy called a band meeting in Toronto. "We've got 26 refusals. I've sent out four more tape packages. If it doesn't happen, this Friday is the last paycheque." On a final trip to New York to sell the tapes one last time, Fred Turner, who had gone with, went for a walk. He turned a corner and a man was standing there - knife out, hand extended. "Gimme your money, please." The "please" made it more terrifying somehow. Fred handed over his cash and walked straight back to his hotel room, picked up his bass and wrote the whole thing down; a pile-driving rocker with Fred's gritty vocals and Randy's gutty, piercing guitar. They called it "Gimme Your Money Please." It became the first track on the Brave Belt III tape. Randy sent the tape to Charlie Fach at Mercury one more time, via special air messenger. The next morning, Fach called Randy at his hotel, song playing in the background. "I've just put the tape on," Fach said. "You know, if the rest of the album is like this, you've got a deal. We've been looking for a strong rock group." Mercury offered a two-album deal at $50,000 per album. Fach insisted they couldn't be called Brave Belt so Randy suggested Bachman-Turner Overdrive. They signed. Within three months of BTO I hitting stores in May 1973, Mercury had recouped its investment. Edited from Killer Guitar Academy. #rocknroll #music #history #blowthisup MercuryRecords

This is a statue of the only man in Troy who saw the trap. He tried to warn everyone, and this is what the gods did to him because of it... His name was Laocoön, a Trojan priest. When the Greek army vanished and left a giant wooden horse outside the city gates, all of Troy celebrated. Only Laocoön refused to believe it. He warned his people the horse was a trick and, to prove it was hollow, hurled his spear into its side. In Virgil's telling, he spoke a line that has outlasted almost everything else about Troy: "I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts." He was right. The horse was packed with soldiers, and Troy was hours from destruction. This sculpture shows what he got for it. Two enormous sea serpents rise out of the sea and coil around him and his young sons, dragging all three down together. The father's whole body is knotted in the struggle, every muscle straining, his face locked in a scream. The gods wanted Troy to fall, and Laocoön was in the way. The Trojans watched him die in agony and drew exactly the wrong conclusion: they decided the gods were punishing him for attacking a holy gift. So they pulled the horse inside their own walls, and that night, Troy burned... The statue is called Laocoön and His Sons. It is the work of three Greek sculptors from the island of Rhodes, Agesander, Athenodoros, and Polydorus, and dates to the Hellenistic period, making it well over two thousand years old. Buried for more than a thousand years, it was dug out of a Roman vineyard in 1506, and Michelangelo rushed across Rome to see it the day it was found. It has been called the single greatest depiction of human suffering in the history of art, but it endures because of what it is really about: the man who sees the truth, says it out loud, and is destroyed for being right while the crowd watches... It is one of the oldest patterns there is, and it has never stopped repeating. There is nothing new under the sun.
