Buddy Holly must have stood out when he first took the stage at the Apollo Theater on August 16, 1957. The theater guests, mostly African Americans, had come to the show that night expecting to enjoy the soulful sounds of Roy Hamilton, Shep and The Limelites, Clarence “Frogman” Henry and a black R&B group called The Crickets, led by Dean Barlow. So when a thin, baby-faced rock and roll Texan with thick glasses took the stage and started “hiccupping,” his way through the first song, the guests nearly booed him and his bandmates out of the theater. Not only were Buddy Holly & The Crickets they the first all-white band ever to take the stage at the Apollo Theater, the guests were expecting to hear a completely different act that night. According to the official Apollo Theater website, the booking agent had made a minor error. He had mistaken Buddy’s all-white rock ‘n’ roll band with the R&B group simply called “The Crickets.” But as it turns out, this simple mistake would mark a historic moment for the Apollo Theater and for the new social phenomenon of rock ‘n’ roll music

Is there a relationship between Russia using microwave technology in the June 27 Trump-Biden debate that drugged Biden and the subsequent surprise Ukraine invasion of Russia on August 6 that is now giving Putin nightmares? Yes. American Intelligence agencies quickly figured out what Russia did to Biden on June 27 and the White House developed a payback plan that caught Russia off guard. If Russia now expands its deadly missile attacks deeper into Ukraine and maybe into Kiev itself, expect massive retaliation by Ukraine using America's best missiles and drones to strike deep into Russia, maybe even into Moscow. Already Ukraine has destroyed two essential bridges in Russia and has captured a large number of Russan soldiers.

Long before Havana Syndrome, the U.S. reported microwaves beamed at an embassy : NPR From the article: "The National Security Agency confirms there is intelligence information from 2012 associating the hostile country to which Mr. Beck traveled in the late 1990s with a high powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence," the letter said.

The old saying applies: Be careful what you wish for. The Russians wished to destroy Biden as a viable re-election candidate and to assure Trump's victory in November. For a short period of time, it appeared they had succeeded. Then suddenly Kamala appeared and has dominated the political scene ever since. For the Russians, their wish has turned into a nightmare. Their only hope now is to destroy Kamala through some Swan Event and have the election outcome turn into a total paralysis that threatens the continuance of American democracy and of a functioning federal government.
