Chuck Berry: The Father of Rock and Roll

When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened in 1986, Chuck Berry was the first inductee. That’s all that needs to be said, really, but we have some more if you want. There are, of course, the standard accolades: one of the best guitarists of all time, one of the best musicians of all time, one of the founders of rock & roll etc. etc. But Chuck Berry can boast one unique honor that no other rocker can - his rock music will be the only one heard by aliens. Back in 1977, when NASA launched the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes into deep space, they included two copies of a golden record that contained a collection of sights and sounds of life on Earth. Therefore, if thousands, even millions of years from now, an intelligent alien species would find the probes, the golden record would act as a sort of time capsule. Among other things, the record includes a diverse 90-minute selection of music, carefully picked by a committee led by Carl Sagan to showcase the best that human culture had to offer. Only one rock & roll song made the cut - Chuck Berry’s iconic “Johnny B. Goode.” → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1] Love content?

Sergeant Stubby: WWI's Most Decorated Canine

"Sergeant Stubby: The Most Decorated Dog of WWI 28 Mar 2024 --- From 1914 to 1918, tens of millions of young men suffered the horrors of the Great War: the trenches, the maddening din of artillery, the hail of machine guns, and the deadly fog released by gas attacks. Almost 10 million of them never returned home. But even when trudging through the mud, the mist, and the misery, millions of men could count on an army of brave and loyal companions: some 16 million animals who served on both sides of the conflict. Horses, pigeons, and dogs were conscripted to transport supplies, serve as messengers, stand guard, or even provide first aid. Dogs proved rather versatile, as they hauled weapons and supplies, carried messages, killed vermin in the trenches, detected enemy scouts, and stood guard. As many as 10,000 canine friends were trained to find wounded soldiers in no man's land. They became known as “mercy dogs”; clad in a Red Cross vest, they carried a first aid kit, water, and liquor to comfort wounded troops. In today’s Biographics, we are proud to bring you the story of a small mongrel who could, and did, perform all of those duties. More astoundingly, our friend was not conscripted. In fact, one may argue that he volunteered. This is the story of “Sergeant” Stubby, the most decorated dog of World War I. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
