Sister Rosetta Tharpe (born Rosetta Nubin, March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an American gospel singer, guitarist, and songwriter celebrated as the Godmother of Rock & Roll. Blending sacred lyrics with rhythmic electric guitar, she bridged gospel and secular styles, shaping the early sound of rock music and influencing icons such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Chuck Berry. Raised by her evangelist mother, Katie Bell Nubin, Tharpe began performing in the Church of God in Christ at age four. By her teens she was touring revival circuits across the South. Moving to Chicago and then New York City, she absorbed blues and jazz sounds that would later inform her pioneering electric-guitar style. In 1938 she signed with Decca Records and released “Rock Me,” establishing herself as the first gospel artist to achieve mainstream commercial success. Tharpe fused vocals with driving swing-band arrangements, creating a rhythmic style that presaged rock and roll. Her 1944 recording “Strange Things Happening Every Day,” cut with pianist Sammy Price, became the first gospel single to reach the top 10 on Billboard’s race (R&B) chart and is often cited as a candidate for the first rock-and-roll record. Her flamboyant stage presence, technical guitar prowess, and boundary-crossing repertoire inspired later performers from Little Richard to Eric Clapton. Tharpe continued performing until her death from a stroke in 1973. Posthumous honors include induction into the Blues Hall of Fame (2007) and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2018). Modern tributes include the PBS American Masters documentary Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock & Roll and Gayle Wald’s biography Shout, Sister, Shout!

Young folks, I strongly recommend buying a DVD player and stocking up on some great DVDs of classic movies and TV shows.
Many of them won't exist after this Paramount-Warner Bros merger.
James: It’s unfortunate that the president is weaponizing the federal government, particularly the DOJ. It’s also unfortunate that Pam Bondi seems to believe that the DOJ is the personal attorney for the President of the United States, rather than serving the interests of America

"Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members." Arrow pointing right.
"Tips to protect your digital privacy from ACLU legal experts. Turn off all biometric functions to unlock your phone, including fingerprint and face recognition. Ensure your phone has a strong password. Keep your phone in airplane mode when you don’t need to communicate with others. Turn off location services unless you’re actively using an app that needs access to your location. Communicate with others using secure, encrypted messaging apps."
We have the right to record ICE agents and other government officials at work in public.
Use these tips to document agents’ actions.
