Mothership Connection is the fourth album by American funk band Parliament, released in 1975. This concept album of P Funk mythology is usually rated as one of Parliament's best. Mothership Connection was the first P-funk album to feature Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, who had left The J.B.'s, James Brown's backing band. "Mothership Connection" became Parliament's first album to be certified gold and later platinum.
Describing the album, George Clinton said "We had put black people in situations nobody ever thought they would be in, like the White House. I figured another place you wouldn't think black people would be was in outer space. I was a big fan of Star Trek, so we did a thing with a pimp sitting in a spaceship shaped like a Cadillac, and we did all these James Brown-type grooves, but with street talk and ghetto slang.
Something I like about this particular throwback is that I had no idea this car existed before!
Ive lived in California all my life and If I haven't seen one here then I'm sure my chances of ever seeing one are pretty slim. What I found in this ad that this vehicle was sold in only 4 US States. 1 Dealer in Arizona, 1 in Hawaii, 2 in Nevada, and a Whopping 26 dealers in California!
I wonder why California was such a big market for it. It was pretty much offered in all the big California cities!
In the early 1950's DeGrazia started working on ceramics. This is when he perfected his copper-based glaze. NBC studios recorded a newsreel, called 'Watch the World, where they filmed Ted and Marion making these ceramics. He used original molds and his inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Remember when..?
Truck accidentally destroys Seattle's historic Pioneer Square pergola on January 15, 2001.
On January 15, 2001, the historic iron and glass pergola at Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle collapses when a truck strikes it around 5:45 a.m. The pergola and the nearby Tlingit totem pole (which is not damaged) are national historic landmarks. Located at 1st Avenue and Yesler Way, the pergola was designed by Seattle architect Julian Everett, and built in 1909 as a stop for the Yesler and James Street Cable Car Company.
U.S. Xpress Enterprises, the firm whose truck accidentally demolished the pergola, paid for most of the restoration, and the pergola reopened on August 17, 2002.

Dad and I after building the best wall unit we ever constructed. Dresser, entertainment stand, massive desk and bookshelves all connected to load baring walls. Sturdy as hell.

DeGrazia demonstrated his talents in the studio of NBC’s Today show in 1960 and received this letter from producer Robert J. Northshield. “I enjoyed your appearance on the TODAY show this morning very much and I am most anxious to let you know how grateful I am for your help. I rarely get a chance to get to the studio during the taping of the show, but I watch it on a closed circuit in my office and again, with my family each morning. Your performance was enjoyable in both instances. Thank you again from the entire staff of TODAY.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
Throwback Thursday: (Let's try to get back in the groove of this here)
This is me and my cousin Justin, circa 1993 or 1994, in a park playing our Gameboys.
Things of note: Gameboys are from 1989. I still have mine and it works but i have misplaced it in the last couple of years. Justin is small for his age, i dont even know how old he is here but he is a prodigy and we played Nintendo all the time...
I am wearing a Pearl Jam "Alive" shirt which has since disintegrated.
I particularly find this photo hilarious b/c we are in this beautiful park, in nature, and what are we doing...our generation was so far ahead of today's generation, i tell ya!
Several phonebooths (or whatever you call these now) were fitted out with ads for Coca-Cola that evoked the heyday of Coke ads, from the fifties and sixties. That these were Spanish-language ads made me wonder whether the choice of a throwback look was somehow intentional.
