RIP Joao Gilberto, The "Boss of Bossa Nova".
Joao's innovative style of guitar playin' and singin, were two of the definin' traits of what would shape a new style of music called Bossa Nova.
In the beginnin', Joao's style of playin' and singin' seemed so abnormal that his father had him committed to a mental hospital for a psychological interview.
Durin' the interview, Joao gazed out the window and observed "Look at the wind depilating the trees." The interviewin' psychologist remarked "but trees have no hair". So Joao replied "and there are people who have no poetry."
In 1963, with Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz, Joao recorded the album "Getz/Gilberto", which stands as one of the finest recordin's in all of music.
Here we have Stan Getz expoundin' high praise for Joao's musical contributions:
Here we have Joao performin' "Bim Bom", which is considered the first Bossa Nova record:

RIP The VW Beetle.
After 81 years, Volkswagen is haltin' production of the iconic car.
What a strange trip it's been!
The Beetle was originally designed as the Nazi's answer to the Ford Model T and instead went on to become a symbol of the counter culture
and was enjoyed by folks of all races, creeds and colors worldwide. Stinkin' Hitler must be spinnin' in his grave!
There was also a game inspired by The Beetle called "Bug Punch". If ya seen a Beetle rollin' down the street, ya would punch or get punched in the arm.
The Beetle was also the main character of the Herbie Love Bug films, starrin' the great Don Knots.
