Sunday, November 28th, 2010

“Randy Shannon is Miami - tough, disciplined, smart, caring, passionate, enthusiastic, and no-nonsense,” said University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. [1]

Miami’s loss to South Florida on Saturday didn’t get Randy Shannon fired — four years of mediocrity did. [2]

Randy Shannon was hired as the head football coach at the University of Miami on Dec. 8, 2006. [3]

In four seasons under Shannon, Miami failed to win the Coastal Division, has yet to win a bowl game, and is 3-4 against BCS opponents from the state of Florida. [2]

Randy Lennard Shannon (born February 24, 1966 in Miami, Florida) is the current head football coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes. [4]

When you think of college football over the last quarter century, you think of the Miami Hurricanes. [1]

The embarrassing 23-20 loss to the Bulls of the Big East was just one more glaring blemish the UM administration couldn’t ignore — especially on a day when rival Florida State was basking in the glory of beating up on Florida and celebrating a trip to the ACC championship game in Jimbo Fisher’s first season. [2]

Randy Lennard Shannon (born February 24, 1966 in Miami, Florida) is the former head football coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes. [5]

Shannon enters his fourth season at the helm of his alma mater’s program leading the Hurricanes to a 9-4 overall mark with a 5-3 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference and an appearance in the Champs Sports Bowl in 2009. [1]

Shannon also competed in basketball, averaging 19 points a game, and competed in the triple jump on the track and field team. [4]

Miami also ranked No. 7 nationally in pass defense, 25th in tackles for loss and 28th overall in total defense yielding 317.56 yards per game. [1]

Born Feb. 24, 1966, Shannon was a four-year letter winner when he played linebacker for the Hurricanes. [3]

UM coach Randy Shannon said that quarterback Jacory Harris will likely play on Saturday in the regular-season finale against USF. [6]

“We are very proud of the positive steps our football program has taken under the leadership of Coach Shannon,” said Hocutt. [...] He also lettered in basketball, averaging 19 points a game, and he competed in the triple jump on the track and field team. [1]

fanny brice

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Fanny Brice (October 29, 1891 ‘ May 29, 1951) was a popular and influential American comedienne and singer who starred in theater, radio, and film. [1]

For more information on Fanny Brice, visit Britannica.com. [2]

The fame of vaudeville legend Fanny Brice has been largely carried on in a biographical adaptation of her life that has almost nothing to do with the facts of the case, the musical Funny Girl, a star vehicle designed for Barbra Streisand. [3]

Fanny Brice (occasionally spelled Fannie Brice) was the stage name of Fania Borach, born in New York City, the third child of relatively well-off saloon owners of Hungarian Jewish descent. [4]

Widely celebrated as one of the most beloved comediennes in the history of entertainment, stage and screen star Fanny Brice tickled audience’s funny bones for more than a decade as the main attraction of Broadway’s Ziegfeld Follies in the early 1900s. [5]

You could not have seen Fanny Brice on the stage and forgotten her, not as long as you lived.” [6]

The character of Baby Snooks, an incorrigible little girl, which she created to amuse her friends, became a Follies favourite, and in that character Brice was featured on radio from 1936 until her death. [...] It was while touring with this troupe that she came to the attention of Florenz Ziegfeld who signed her for his Follies of 1910. [2]

With her Sadie performance she managed to attract the attention of producer Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., who hired her for his Follies of 1910. [1]

Baby Snooks was also to be seen as a comic act together with Judy Garland in the 1928 film Everybody Sing. [6]

This sad tale ultimately became the seed for Funny Girl; Brice’s later marriage to Billy Rose provided the inspiration for the film musical Funny Lady. [3]

Her characters included a toddler Baby Snooks which she performed complete with hair ribbon, starched pinafore, ankle socks, and Mary Janes. [1]

Although her third marriage was brief and her film career never quite took off, Brice found fame in her later years when she launched a weekly radio show in 1938. [5]

Prior to their marriage, Arnstein served 14 months in Sing Sing for wiretapping, where Brice visited him every week. [4]

The real Fanny Brice was, in her time, a tremendously popular comedienne who first established herself in vaudeville and later in radio, portraying her trademark character, Baby Snooks. [3]

creedence clearwater revival

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

For two years, 1969 and 1970, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the most popular rock band in America. [1]

Creedence Clearwater Revival, frequently referred to as CCR or simply Creedence, was an American roots rock band, fronted by John Fogerty. [2]

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) endured a long career, but the band enjoyed only a few short years in rock’s limelight before internal dissension broke them apart. [3]

Creedence Clearwater Revival (often abbreviated CCR) was an American rock band that gained popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s with a number of successful singles drawn from various albums. [4]

Released in the summer of 1968 — a year after the summer of love, but still in the thick of the Age of Aquarius - Creedence Clearwater Revival ’s self-titled debut album was gloriously out-of-step with the times, teeming with John Fogerty ’s Americana fascinations. [5]

Playlists and music including the artist Creedence Clearwater Revival from albums currently available. [6]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (bass and drums respectively) from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits - touchstones of a generation. [7]

A cover of the Dale Hawkins Swamp Rock classic “Suzie Q.” became their first hit single (the song was later featured in the movie Apocalypse Now). [2]

The first six albums of California rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival are being reissued on September 30 with bonus tracks and new liner notes, Concord Music Group said on Tuesday. [8]

Their gritty fusion of swamp pop, country rock, hillbilly soul, and a driving dose of Southern-inspired R&B gave the band their trademark “chooglin’” sound. [...] Aside from Gram Parsons, no one has influenced Americana music as much as Creedence Clearwater Revival. [9]

Group formed as the Blue Velvets, c. 1960, in El Cerrito, CA; recorded a single on the Orchestra label, early 1960s; signed to Fantasy Records, 1964; record company changed band’s name to the Golliwogs; made several recordings; band changed its name to Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1967; ‘Suzie Q’, became first hit, 1968; recorded five albums, 1969-70; Tom Fogerty left group, 1971; group disbanded, 1972. [3]

On their first album as Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1968, the group played it both ways, offering extended, quasi-psychedelic workouts of the ’50s classics “I Put a Spell on You” and “Suzie Q.” The latter song became their first big hit, but the band didn’t really bloom until “Proud Mary,” a number-two single in early 1969 that demonstrated John’s talent at tapping into Southern roots music and imagery with a natural ease. [6]

Led by the vocally powerful John Fogerty, CCR released now-classic hit records in the late 1960s and early 1970s’songs whose popular lifespan is closing out its third decade. [3]

In 1967, Saul Zaentz purchased Fantasy Records from Weiss and offered the band a chance to record a full-length album, but only if the group changed its name. [4]
