    What Really Happened To Sam Cooke On December 11 1964 Music Historian Scott G Shea Updates Us
    Dec 28 2025
    The great soul singer Sam Cooke was killed on December 11, 1964, and, surprisingly, his tragic early death never seems to be mentioned in the same breath as other early rock and roll luminaries who died young, like Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and many others. Perhaps it’s because of the brutal and suspicious nature surrounding it. The smooth, joyful soul singer was gunned down in the office of a seedy Los Angeles motel after being robbed by an alleged prostitute. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, Scott G. Shea celebrates the life, music and legacy of Sam Cooke through six songs that tell his story.

Such as… While on the web are we truly reading or feeding a need to gather a lot of content to make the attempt to digest? Plus… Alexa from Amazon. Her upgrade is more human than before, is Alexa listening to every conversation we share? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

  • NY Times Mega Selling Author David Baldacci Unveils His New Series Nash Falls

    NY Times Mega Selling Author David Baldacci Unveils His New Series Nash Falls
    Dec 26 2025
    #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci’s latest hero, Walter Nash. On the night of his father’s funeral, family man Walter Nash is recruited by the FBI to help bring down a global crime network through his own inside connections…but what will this David and Goliath battle cost him? Nash is an intelligent man; tough but fair-minded. He has a wife and a daughter, and a very high-level position at Sybaritic Investments where his innate skills and dogged tenacity have carried him to the top of the pyramid. Despite never going on grand adventures and always working too many hours, he has a happy and privileged life with his family. But following his estranged Vietnam-veteran father’s funeral, Nash is unexpectedly approached by the FBI in the middle of the night. They have an urgent request: become their inside man to expose an enterprise that is laundering large sums of money through Sybaritic. At the top of this illegal operation is Victoria Steers—an international criminal mastermind that the FBI has been trying to bring down for years. Nash has no choice but to accept the FBI’s demands and try to bring Steers and her partners to justice. But when Steers discovers that Nash is working with the FBI, she turns the tables on him in a way he never could have imagined—forcing Nash to take the ultimate step both to survive and to take his revenge. To succeed, he must become the exact opposite of who he has always been, and even that may not be enough.
