repost from RBR.music Guitarist Freddie King rode to fame in the early ‘60s with a spate of catchy instrumentals which became instant bandstand fodder for fellow bluesmen and white rock bands alike. Employing a more down-home (thumb and finger picks) approach to the B.B. King single-string style of playing, King enjoyed success on a variety of different record labels. Furthermore, he was one of the first bluesmen to employ a racially integrated group on-stage behind him. Influenced by Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, and Robert Jr. Lockwood, King went on to influence the likes of Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Lonnie Mack, among many others. King’s first album, Freddy King Sings, appeared in 1961, and it was followed later that year by Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away With Freddy King: Strictly Instrumental. Throughout 1961, he turned out a series of instrumentals — which became blues classics; everyone from Magic Sam and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Dave Edmunds and Peter Green covered King’s material. Freddie King continued to record for King Records until 1968, with a second instrumental album appearing in 1965, his influence was heard throughout blues and rock guitarists throughout the ‘60s — Eric Clapton made “Hide Away” his showcase number in 1965. King landed a new record contract with Leon Russell’s Shelter Records early in 1970. King recorded three albums for Shelter in the early ‘70s, all of which sold well. His concerts were also popular with both blues and rock audiences. In 1974, he signed a contract with RSO Records — which was also Eric Clapton’s record label — and he released Burglar, which was produced and recorded with Clapton. Throughout 1976, Freddie King toured America, even though his health was beginning to decline. On December 29, 1976, King died of heart failure. Although his passing was premature — he was only 42 years old — Freddie King’s influence could still be heard in blues and rock guitarists decades after his death. iiii]; )'

The Raw Wisdom of Survival: King’s Talk with Chris in Platoon In this memorable scene from Oliver Stone’s 1986 masterpiece Platoon,* Keith David’s character King sits down with Charlie Sheen’s Chris Taylor during a quiet moment in the jungle. Chris is clearly struggling with the psychological weight of the war, and King, the seasoned and grounded soldier, offers him some of the most honest and unfiltered advice in the entire film. Rather than giving motivational speeches, King speaks plainly about what it really takes to survive Vietnam. He tells Chris to stop overthinking everything and to focus on the basics: “Just keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the worm will turn.” His words carry the weary wisdom of a man who has seen too much. He explains that in this war, the good men like Elias often die while the ruthless like Barnes make the rules, and all the average soldier can do is try to stay alive in the middle. The scene becomes even more powerful when King receives orders that he’s being sent home. His reaction is a mix of disbelief and quiet relief as he prepares to leave the nightmare behind. Before he goes, he shares one last piece of advice with Chris — to stop thinking so much and just make it out alive, because once he does, every day afterward will be “gravy.” This moment perfectly captures the bond between soldiers and the brutal reality of the Vietnam War. It’s not about glory or heroism, but about endurance, friendship, and the simple hope of making it home. #Platoon #OliverStone #KeithDavid #CharlieSheen #VietnamWar #MovieScene #WarMovies #PlatoonMovie #ClassicCinema #Survival #Brotherhood #MovieQuotes #FilmScene #1980sMovies #AntiWarFilm

We are pleased to announce that the newly completed 250-bed Ogun State Medical Center of Excellence in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta will be commissioned in December 2025. During our recent inspection, we confirmed that the project, originally built but left incomplete by the past administration, has now reached an advanced stage, with exterior works, landscaping, the entrance canopy, gate, and oxygen systems already in place. We have directed the contractors to increase manpower so operations can begin within the next two to three weeks. We are positioning this facility as a “spoke” of the Abuja Medical Center of Excellence, which partners internationally with King’s College Hospital. Once fully completed and handed over to Healthshare Services Limited, the hospital will be managed to world-class standards and become the first point of care for our people. This project had significant structural, civil, and electrical gaps when we assumed office, but through our PPP office, we secured Healthshare as a credible partner and signed an MoU to complete and operate the hospital. When this center opens, it will drastically reduce medical tourism and limit the constant movement of patients from Ogun to Lagos or other institutions. Its location will also serve residents across Ogun, Oyo, Osun, and Ekiti, offering a more convenient and accessible alternative. According to the project managers, the basement, ground floor, radiology, laboratory, and consulting rooms are ready, while the theatre, ICU, and wards on the first floor are being finalized to meet our December commissioning target. This facility will be one of our major gifts to the people of Ogun State, and a significant step toward providing high-quality healthcare at home. #OgunState #BuildingOurFutureTogether #HealthcareRevolution #MedicalCenterOfExcellence #250BedHospital #PrinceDapoAbiodun #QualityHealthcare #GatewayToExcellence

When Andrew made a big show of approaching Prince William during the Funeral of the Duchess of Kent, waiting the exact moment when the cameras will snap him with the Heir, I bet he did not foresee this would be his last public appearance alongside William and that not only will he lose his home but he would lose all his styles and Titles as well😏 But simply looking at William’s expression, you could tell he was thinking ahead👌🏽 BP is in full damage control. I guess that heckling from the last engagement, made them realize the problem is not going away😏 They report: “These decisions have been the King’s, given the serious lapses of judgment which his brother has shown.” Andrew will move to a private property at Sandringham, funded by Charles. Sarah Ferguson will make her own arrangements. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie retain their titles.” “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.” “The King consulted the Government, acting “with support of the wider family, including the Prince of Wales”.🤭 The comedy. 2 weeks ago, BP allowed Andrew to call the shot and make his own announcement where he was suppose to retain his titles and home. Now, 2 weeks after a public dragging and shaming, after 2 weeks of dragging William’s name as the “ruthless” driving force, finally BP wants to credit KC as the driving force who deems it necessary to make his own decision and finally ACT to protect his reign and his name😏 When you want to be seen as a “decisive” leader, you act decisively at the beginning, not after public scandal and pressure from the government and pressure from all parts force your hand🤷🏽‍♀️ This should have been the initial announcement. The fact that it comes now after BP tried to blame William, Parliament, the dead Queen Elizabeth and even tried to involve Catherine in this fiasco, it is very clear, this is damage control and not a genuine decision. A representative from Whitehall already stated in an interview that “only one Royal was pushing for this and that was William.”🔥 So Spare us the empty platitudes. The only thing we ask is that the palace follows through with their words, and truly strip Andrew. I will applaud when it is complete☕️

This is one of the most important videos on 𝕏. Peace for Ukraine is about more than Trump, Putin, or Zelenskyy. RFK Jr: “We are the military-industrial complex.” “Washington ... is like a Kabuki theatre of democracy.” It’s about ending the trauma that the US military-industrial complex has put the world through since 1963. RFK Jr: JFK’s 1,000 days in office were a “constant fistfight with the military-industrial complex to keep the country out of war.” “Three days before [JFK] took office, President Eisenhower gave what I think we should today regard as the most important speech in American history.” “He warned Americans against the domination of this emerging military-industrial complex that would turn us into an imperium abroad and a security state at home.” “[JFK] takes office three days later.” “They tried to get him to go into Laos, he refused.” “They tried to get him to go into Cuba in ‘61 and again in ‘62 during the missile crisis, and he wouldn’t.” “They tried to get him to go into Berlin in ‘62, and he wouldn’t.” “They tried to get him to go into Vietnam … and he said it can’t be our fight.” “In October 1963 … [JFK] signed National Security Order 263 ordering all military personnel out of Vietnam.” “Thirty days after he signed that order, he was murdered. And a week after that, President Johnson remanded the order and then sent 250,000 troops in.” “My father ran against the war in ‘68. He wins the California primary, meaning he’s on his way to the White House, and he’s shot that night.” “Martin Luther King had become a peace activist two months before he was shot.” “These traumas—my uncle’s death, my father, King’s death, the Vietnam War itself, 9/11, and Covid—pushed us a little farther down that road that Eisenhower warned us against.” “Today, we are the military-industrial complex.” “Washington ... is like a Kabuki theatre of democracy.” “Part of unraveling that and going back to our original idealism … means going back and looking at the original trauma and exposing what actually happened to my uncle.” NATO’s expansion into Eastern Europe towards Russia’s borders is marching humanity towards World War 3, a trauma that would be greater than any war humanity has ever known.
