Insight & Opinion They called it rock and roll

Clayburn Peeples reports: I was speaking to a fellow baby-boomer about my Pat Boone column of last week, and we got to talking about rock and roll, and as so often happens in such discussions, the question of what the first ever rock and roll song was came up. Most people say “Rock Around the Clock,” was first, but many “rock historians” believe an earlier song, “Rocket 88” was actually the very first rock and roll song. “Rocket 88” is a song about a car, supposedly the fastest on the road at the time, the Hydra Matic Drive V-8 Oldsmobile 88, the “Rocket 88.” Ike Turner claims he wrote the song, but a singer in his band got credit for it. Whoever wrote it, when they recorded it, the guitarist’s amplifier had a torn speaker, so Sam Phillips, the Memphis record producer, tried to fix it by stuffing paper in the

speaker cone. The resulting “fuzzy” sound gave it a raw, distorted quality that was quickly picked up by early rock and roll stars. The song, with its growling guitar, its forceful backbeat and irreverent lyrics about cars, booze and women, went to number one on the R&B charts, but many classify it as “rocking rhythm and blues,” rather than true rock and roll. But some pop music performers took notice of it. One who did was a young man named Bill Haley, a former western swing band singer. He covered “Rocket 88” that same year, and then began to cover other rhythm and blues songs, and recorded new ones as well, in the same hard rocking style. Elvis fans cite his 1954 version of “That’s All Right” as the first rock and roll song, and dozens of other songs have been

suggested for the honor as well, but whatever song was first, it’s pretty much beyond dispute that it was Bill Haley’s recording of “Rock Around the Clock,” in 1954, that pushed this new sound onto the radios of mainstream America. Those were the days of the cold war and fallout shelters, and a record producer in New York had purchased rights to a novelty song called “Thirteen Women (and Only One Man in Town)” about a guy who found himself the only male who survived an H-bomb attack. Thirteen women also survived. You can guess how the song went from there. To record it, the producer hired Bill Haley, who by that time was calling his band “Bill Haley and the Comets.” They recorded it in April, but the Comets were so late to the recording session that by the time they had finished working on “Thirteen Women,” there were only 30 minutes left in the session, so they rushed through the “B” side, an unimpressive, forgettable number called “Rock Around the Clock.” “Thirteen Women” was a modest success at best, but one person who bought it was a nine-year-old boy living in California named Peter Ford. One day, out of curiosity, he decided to see what the “B” side sounded like; he never played the “A” side again. His dad was an actor named Glenn Ford, who was beginning work on a new movie at the time about a teacher trying to bring order to a chaotic inner-city school. It was to be called Blackboard Jungle. One night one of the

producers was at the Ford home going over pre production matters with Ford, and he heard young Peter’s new favorite song. He decided it would be a great song to play over the movie’s opening credits, so he talked MGM into buying the rights to use the song from Decca Records. For $5,000, the studio bought the right to use the music three times in the movie. For an additional $2,500, they could have bought the song outright, but thinking it worthless, they passed on that, a decision they must have truly regretted when record sales of the song passed the 16,000,000 mark. The film opened in March of 1955 and was a sensation. Among other things, it introduced rock and roll to

mainstream America, but it also branded the genre as a “dangerous influence” on teenagers. Later that year, the song was the first of many, many rock and roll records to go to #1. (It knocked “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” off the top spot. That’s how different it was.) The age of rock and roll was upon us. And it was huge. And controversial. A noted Eastern psychiatrist branded it a “communicable disease,” a “cannibalistic and tribalistic” sort of music that caused teens to “wear ducktail haircuts, zoot suits and carry on boisterously at rock and roll affairs.” Kids, of course, loved it. All of it, including the criticism, and soon, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and all

sorts of early rock and roll stars were stepping through the door Haley had opened for them with “Rock Around the Clock.” Nearly instantly, rock and roll was everywhere. Adults knew it wouldn’t last, but the next 30 months saw a music revolution begin that has never been matched. Songs appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, that have never been equaled in popularity. And after that, the music rolled on and on and on. Something unprecedented and unstoppable had been unleashed; a new sound was blowing in the wind and blasting over the airwaves, and clearly it was no “flash in the piano” as one critic called it. It was rock and roll, and the world would never be the same.

Dyer board awards bid for park mowing from page 1 2014 regular meeting. The motion was approved. Tom Mikkelsen from 149 Scattered Acres came to express his displeasure with the City Board’s passage of Ordinance 2014-221, an ordinance to rezone a certain property located south of Mikkelsen’s property on North Main St. Mikkelsen was concerned that proper notice may not have been given. He also shared with the board information about litigation in other cases where properties were rezoned for sign placement. The board recessed for an attorney-client meeting. Following the recess, a motion was made by Gilliland to rescind the second reading of Ordinance 2014-221. The motion was approved with all in favor. In the Mayor’s report, Younger opened the bids for park mowing. Two bids were received: C&A Mowing (Curtis Inman) bids $4,980 for park mowing per contract, $2800 for ballfield mowing (per contract), $140 for extra mowing at the park and $100 for extra mowing at the ball field. Chris and Michael Moeller also submitted a bid that the board decided had to be in error. The amount of the bid could in no way cover the expense for mowing the park all season. Their bid was $335 for park mowing (per contract), $165 for ballfield

mowing (per contract), $320 for extra mowing at the park and $165 for extra mowing at the ballfield. Baker made a motion to award the park mowing bid to C&A Mowing. Alderman Joe Gathings asked why the city’s employees couldn’t complete this mowing. Mayor Younger said he had investigated that possibility when he was first elected, and once the cost of gas, maintenance, and labor were considered, it would be not cost effective. Alderman Barron expressed concern that at current staffing levels, other tasks and projects along with regular work might not be accomplished. The motion made by Baker carried with Williamson, Gilliland, Barron, Reed, and Baker voting yes; and Oliver and Gathings voting no. Mayor Younger asked the board to consider retaining the Jeep for Asa Morgan’s use. Mayor Younger asked the board to consider rescinding the motion to sell the surplus police cars via GovDeals, and instead offer them locally by sealed bid. He stated that some citizens have asked him for the opportunity to bid and didn’t feel comfortable on GovDeals or have access to a computer. Alderperson Baker asked Chief Lindsey

if there was any reason the vehicles couldn’t be sold locally, if there was any public safety equipment that might impede a sale. Chief Brad Lindsey replied that the ‘police package’ included upgrades to systems such as cooling, and suspension; the motors were not modified or ‘souped-up.’ Baker made a motion to sell the three surplus police cars locally by sealed bid with a minimum bid of $3,000. The motion carried with Williamson, Barron, Oliver, Reed, and Baker voting yes; and Gilliland and Gathings voting no. In department reports, Fire Chief Roger Worrell reminded the board about paving needed at the fire station. There is $3,000 in the budget for paving that needs to be done before the end of the fiscal year. Baker made the motion to authorize $3,000 in paving by the Sowell Boys at the first station. The motion was approved. Chief Brad Lindsey informed the board that the police department will need another vest in the near future. Generally, the TML Pool donates $1,000 for safety equipment. Lindsey will advise the board when has additional information. Sewer Superintendent William Caton asked for the board to approve the purchase of new liners for the dewatering box. The cost

Community Living North Union Bro. Chris opened call to worship asking us to lift up, encourage, and love one another. Seems everything in the service tied into his sermon. From our hymn ‘Change my Heart Oh God’ to Michelle’s children’s moment. Michelle said it was told we speak 11 million words in a years time. She mentioned all kinds of words that we might use where some caused harm and some brought good. She read from Matt: 12: 36, which says we will have to give an account for every careless word spoken. She also told of recent visit to Nursing Home by the Little Disciples who took smile faces drawn on paper to the patients and brought such joy and happiness to a very sick patient and his wife as they also sang to them. Chelsea is doing a great job as leader of the Little Disciples. Bro. Chris’s message today asked ‘Are You A Firefighter? His text was 1Thess. 5: 19 saying Quench not the Spirit. He talked of

the two kinds of firefighters in the church. There are those in the church who try to put out fires as they discourage and put down others on fire for the Lord. These are only concerned with themselves. Are you trying to put out the fire of somebody the Holy Spirit is leading? Then there are those in the church who lift up and encourage those working in the church who are spreading the word of God. He asks that we unite together and pray for one another or we may never see the true intentions from each other. Philipians 2: 14-18 Is the lifestyle we need to regain as a Christian.

Keely Mill By Diane Hamlin Our Sunday school hour began with Stephen Fields leading us in the hymn ‘In My Heart there Rings a Melody.’ Keith Hamlin opened us in prayer. We welcomed our spring revival evangelist Bro. Richard Bragg and his family to Keely Mill. Christy Skelton opened the adult class in prayer before teaching us our lesson ‘Avoid Alcohol and Drug Abuse’ from Proverbs 20-31. Diane Hamlin closed us in prayer. Our Sunday morning worship hour began with Elaine Fields playing the piano and Mike Fields and the church choir leading us in our offertory hymn ‘To God Be the Glory.’ Keith Hamlin opened us in prayer. Rejoice in the Lord always. Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and made our announcements. We had a time of giving our praise reports and reciting our Bible verse. Andrew Bragg blessed us by reciting the 66 books of the Bible. For our first special, Bro. Richard Bragg played the piano as he sang ‘Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone.’ Our revival team and several men in the church joined Bro. John Fields in prayer as they prayed over Bro. Richard. The church choir led the congregation in the hymn ‘Revive Us Again.’ The youth blessed us with more special music as they sang ‘We Believe.’ Children’s church was dismissed to Jennifer Fields.

Bro. Richard Bragg delivered our morning message ‘Who Is This Jesus?’ from the scriptures Luke 9:10-17. Scott Fields dismissed services in prayer as the hymn ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ was sung. Our Discipleship Training hour began with the hymn ‘When We All Get to Heaven.’ Mike Fields opened the adult class in prayer before teaching us our lesson ‘Ministry to Those Who Hurt’ from Matthew 25. Keith Hamlin closed us in prayer. Our Sunday night worship hour began with everyone singing the hymn ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee.’ Bro. Steve welcomed everyone and opened our services in prayer. Bro. Richard Bragg blessed us with our special music as he played the piano and sang ‘The King is Coming.’ Krisha White also blessed us with special music as she sang ‘Come to the River.’ Bro. Richard delivered our message ‘Who is this Jesus?’ from the scriptures John 6:1-15. Bro. Steve dismissed services in prayer as the hymn ‘It Is Well with My Soul’ was sung. After services we enjoyed a fellowship pot luck revival meal in the fellowship hall. Today is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Wednesday evening our minister, Brother Corey Meggs continued the study focus on community. The questions we discussed were why come to church, how do we engage our community to visit. Scripture was Matthew 22:2-5. Church seems to have withdrawn from communities in the past few years. We can say ‘come’ but most got o them and invite. Sunday for our special music Brother Terry Owens sang, ‘The Haven of Rest.’ We were delighted to welcome our former pastor, Dr. James Adams who preached for us in the 1990’s. He spoke on ‘What is our goal of Christian Life here on earth?’ Scripture was Philippians 3: 13 and 14. We are told to accept God’s forgiveness and forgive ourselves. Do not hold grudges, they hurt us more than the other fellow. If God forgives those who sin surely we can forgive those who sin against us.

Everyone enjoyed a delicious fellowship meal after service. 17 went to Dyer Nursing Home to perform the Easter Cantata, ‘The day He wore my Crown.’ All were blessed. Remember to pray for our friends there and the many on our prayer list. Sunday evening Brother Corey spoke on ‘Christ is our comfort’ from II Corinthians 1:3-10. When life overwhelms us God supplies our support system. We have gone through what we’ve been through to help others get through what they are going through. We must learn to trust God for He is ever present. He even raises the dead! Learn to rely on God when life is too much to handle. Deacon nominations will be nest Sunday, May 4. Pray about this. When the Word is our guide and worship is the goal, God will grant us the wisdom to make lifeaffirming choices.

Pharmacy & Your Health What To Do About an Upset Stomach Indigestion and dyspepsia are medical terms for the discomfort of an upset stomach experienced after eating a meal. Symptoms of an upset stomach include feelings of fullness after eating some or all of a meal, a bloating feeling in the upper stomach, or a burning sensation and/or pain from the breastbone to the navel. A doctor should be consulted if it lasts for up to two weeks. Indigestion may be caused by certain lifestyle factors, or caffeinated drinks, overeating, taking pain medications such as ibuprofen, and eating greasy or spicy food. It could also be a symptom of certain medical conditions that affect the stomach. Indigestion is often relieved by making dietary changes such as consuming small meals throughout the day and avoiding medications or food that trigger an upset stomach. Certain overthe-counter medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or histamine-2 receptor blockers (H2RAs) may help clam an upset stomach by releasing less acid from the stomach. PPIs such as omeprazole (Prilosec) or esomeprazole (Nexium) may also help reduce heartburn in addition to an upset stomach. Pepto-Bismol may help upset stomach in adults. It should be avoided in children.

Bethpage News By Joyce Brown What a beautiful Easter Sunday to come together to God’s house to worship our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ. The sanctuary at Bethpage was packed out with believers who had gathered for that reason. We were so blessed to have many families come in full attendance. Our children reminded me of a flower garden with their colorful dresses and little corsages and the boys decked out with ties and new shirts. They are such treasures. We had two birthdays last week. Wanda Smithson and Joe Mac Huffine came forward with their money for the happy birthday notice and song. Janice and Tina did a beautiful job on the instruments playing ‘Hallelujah for the Cross’ medley during quiet time. Call to worship was ‘Holy Ground’ and the welcome hymn was ‘Because He Lives.’ Bro. Jeff talked to the Preacher’s Pals about the Gospel making sure they knew what was real about that. The offertory was ‘The

Man in the Middle’ then Dietra lifted her beautiful clear voice in worship singing our special ‘Then Came the Morning.’ Bro. Jeff’s text for his sermon was 1 Corin 15:1-20. The title was ‘The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.’ Jesus is the reason for life and the reason of living. Following this powerful message, Bro. Jeff and our deacons served the Lord’s Supper. What a meaningful sacrament on this special day! After services our little ones grabbed their decorated buckets and ran outside to find the colorful filled eggs that had been hidden around the church yard. It was a wonderful experience at Bethpage for all who attended. Quote from the Rev. Billy Graham: The Cross boldly stands against the confusion of our world, a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness and doubt. In the Cross... we find answers to life’s deepest questions… never underestimate what Christ did for us through the Cross.

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King When you’re ready please read Hebrews 10:23-25. You’re wondering if God answered my prayers; ‘God you got to get me to church.’ He was prepared. The very next Sunday I was lining in another State. I’ll never forget that Sunday morning. We’d moved from Durham, North Carolina tot eh tiniest town I had ever heard of Rutherford, TN. On that Sunday morning, I looked up to see my husband buttoning up a white shirt. I asked, ‘What are you doing?’ He answered, ‘Getting ready for church. Mom and dad will go and we’ll go with them. You need to get ready too.’ I had forgotten that second prayer, but God hadn’t. And He hasn’t forgotten yours either. First, second, or twentieth. He remembers them all. In the words of Jesus; ‘A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By all

this will know that you My disciples, if you have love for one another.’ John 13: 34-35(NKJV). We are sanctified – set apart for His purpose. As we set aside our anxieties and ambitions and cravings and short-comings and instead, take up His kingdom business and his ways and those in His congregation, we are doing a spiritual fast. We are mourning on His behalf. He is well pleased when we are humbled in His name. James, the half-brother of Jesus penned these words; ‘Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up’ James 4:10(NKJV). Matthew 5:4 tells us more about mourning, even in the beginning of the Christians walk. Jesus said these words, ‘Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted’ Matthew 5:4(NKJV). When we use our drive for His kingdom, he will use His power in ours.

Cards of Thanks I would like to thank the Yorkville First Responders and the Gibson County ambulance service for the quick response to my need for assistance and travel to the hospital. Also to everyone who sent cards and made calls but most of all for your prayers. It made a difference in my ability to recover. Harry Jetton We were truly blessed with your presence at our 70th anniversary reception. You all made it a great celebration. We wish to thank everyone for their gifts, cards, phone calls, and monetary gifts. We especially thank our children and grandchildren for putting together the celebration. Thank you to William McFarland for he wonderful picture. We enjoyed visiting with everyone and we shall cherish every moment. May God bless each of you. Connie and Frances Powell

By Alice Ernest

minister of music at Dyer First Baptist led the group in singing ‘Leaning on the Everlasting Arms’ and ‘Sweet, Sweet Spirit’ to the accompaniment of Alice Ernest. Pastor of dyer FBC led the group in devotional by challenging them to test themselves to prove that they have the faith relationship of Jesus Christ. The three tests he cited were; Does the love of God control your life in a selfless attitude? Is your life bearing fruit by bringing others to know Him? Have you surrendered to making Jesus Lord of your

life in daily actions. Pastor DeWayne Goodgine used scripture contained in Paul’s letters to the churches at Corinth and Rome. Jesus is Coming Soon
