Florida Hosts The First Major East Coast Rock Festival
1968Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, Steppenwolf and the Grateful Dead, land in Hallandale, Florida's Gulfstream Park to entertain 100,000 fans at Miami Pop Festival II, the East Coast's first major rock festival.
For the last two years, rock music festivals have been growing in scope, ambition, and attendance on the West Coast. The East Coast finally gets into the action at the Gulfstream Park horse racing track in Hallandale, Florida, where an estimated 100,000 fans show up to the party, outdrawing the Miami Pop Festival I that occurred earlier that year by about 75,000.
Miami Pop II features a Flower Stage and a Flying Stage, each operating simultaneously. It is the first major musical event known to employ this dual-stage innovation.
Fans arrive to find the grounds decorated with an assortment of giant sculptures, including an overturned milk carton and a giant blue humanoid, crafted by the University of Miami Art Department. A commemorative comic book featuring several of the headlining musicians is also distributed at the event.
Joni Mitchell calls up her lover Graham Nash along with Richie Havens (not her lover) to perform Dino Valenti's "Get Together." The Grateful Dead invites the crowd onstage to dance as they perform. Someone, purportedly LSD king and soundman Owsley Stanley, records the Dead's set. They open with a 12-minute jam of "Turn on Your Lovelight," and draw down the cosmos for exuberant renditions of "Dark Star,""Saint Stephen,""The Eleven," and "Cryptical Envelopment." They close things up with "And We Bid You Goodnight," which feels particularly touching and authentic in this time of familial feeling, common cause, and loving naiveté.
Pacific Gas & Electric, who will achieve their most commercially successful hit with "Are You Ready" two years later, liquefies minds with their performances, harnessing so much power that they are asked to play four separate times. This Herculean feat of entertainment secures them a recording contract with the big dogs of Columbia Records.
Country Joe and the Fish, Marvin Gaye, Iron Butterfly, Procol Harum and dozens of other acts also perform.
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair will soon eclipse Miami Pop II in the popular American consciousness, but as Rolling Stone declares on February 1, 1969, the festival is "a monumental success in almost every aspect, the first significant - and truly festive - international pop festival held on the East Coast."

Organizers found that rods could not push the cables through the tiny tunnels, which frequently bend and dog-leg. The ferrets were eased into tiny nylon harnesses with wires which where then attached to a rope, the animals ran into a series of ducts which were under the stage like rabbit runs, leading the cables with them. The ferrets instinctively make for any hole in the ground and are enticed to the end of the duct by a slab of smelly meat. The New Years Eve concert featured Simply Red, Eurythmics and Bryan Ferry. | |

Time Magazine Warns Of "Sex Rock"
1975Time magazine introduces the phrase "Sex Rock" in an article taking aim at Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby."
Time claims that 15 percent of air time on AM radio is taken up by sex rock songs like "Do It Any Way You Wanna" by People's Choice, "That's The Way (I Like It)" by KC & The Sunshine Band, "I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You" by Leon Haywood and "Let's Do It Again" by the Staple Singers. The most egregious offender though is "Love To Love You Baby," a song they say contains 22 orgasms.
With a name now attached to the genre, opposition mounts. The RKO Radio Network makes Rod Stewart take out the line "Spread your wings and let me come inside" before they will play "Tonight's The Night"; WPIX in New York won't play Elton John's hit "The Bitch Is Back."
Jesse Jackson enters the fray in 1976 with his group Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity), threatening boycotts if record companies don't tone it down. His argument is that songs like "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" and "The More You Do It" are corrupting America's youth and leading to an increased number of unmarried mothers. He cites a study in Jet magazine that found 90 percent of pregnant girls at a Los Angeles high school got that way while listening to "songs with suggestive lyrics and rhythms." He sets up meetings with industry leaders, but has a hard time getting radio station executives to attend. In 1978, he takes aim at the Rolling Stones song "Some Girls," but gets just an anodyne apology from the band ("No insult was intended, and if any was taken, we sincerely apologize"), which refuses to change the lyrics.
Sex Rock only grows stronger, and it takes "Darling Nikki" by Prince to spark the next kerfuffle over lascivious lyrics, which comes in the mid-'80s when the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) launches a successful campaign to get warning stickers places on certain albums.

Article 4
Δύσκολα μπορούμε να φανταστούμε ένα γιορτινό τραπέζι χωρίς κρασιά Boutari, γι’ αυτό και εμείς δοκιμάσαμε και σας προτείνουμε τρεις ετικέτες που είμαστε σίγουροι ότι θα σας καλύψουν κάθε στιγμή αυτών των γιορτών και θα συνδυαστούν άψογα με κάθε έδεσμα.
Στα 140 πλέον χρόνια της ιστορίας της, η Οινοποιία Μπουτάρη, έχει δημιουργήσει εμβληματικά κρασιά, διακρίνεται σταθερά εντός και εκτός συνόρων στους σημαντικότερους διαγωνισμούς και διαθέτει οινοποιεία και αμπελώνες στις σημαντικότερες οινικές περιοχές της χώρας.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια μάλιστα εστιάζει στον πειραματισμό και στις παλαιώσεις προκειμένου να ανακαλύψει νέες δυναμικές και να εξελίξει τις 25 γηγενείς και διεθνείς ποικιλίες, που συναντάμε στις 40 και πλέον ετικέτες της.
Οι επιλογές μας και οι γευστικοί συνδυασμοί
Οροπέδιο: το δροσερό και αρωματικό Μοσχοφίλερο
Το Μοσχοφίλερο, ως ποικιλία, έχει ταυτιστεί με την εταιρεία Boutari, μιας και είναι εκείνη που μας το σύστησε. Στο Οροπέδιο της Μαντίνειας, λοιπόν, ανάμεσα στα βουνά Μαίναλο, Ολίγυρτος, Πάρνωνας και Αρτεμίσιο, απλώνεται η επικράτεια του Μοσχοφίλερου. Το αποτέλεσμα 88 χρόνων σταθερής ενασχόλησης με το Μοσχοφίλερο από ειδικά επιλεγμένα αμπέλια γεμίζει τη φιάλη του «Οροπέδιου». Το λαμπερό λευκοκίτρινο χρώμα και τα αρώματα στη μύτη είναι τα πρώτα χαρακτηριστικά του. Στη γεύση γεμάτο, ελαφρά λιπαρό με τραγανή οξύτητα και μακρά επίγευση με αρώματα. Το σερβίρουμε στους 10-12°C.
Θα το συνδυάσουμε με σαλάτες που συνδυάζουν μυρωδικά και φρούτα, συνθέσεις ψητών λαχανικών, λιπαρά ψάρια, όπως ο σολομός ή πιάτα θαλασσινών.
Σημείο Στίξης Ροζέ: το κομψό και λαμπερό ροζέ
Έρχεται από τη μυστικιστική Αρκαδία με το Μοσχοφίλερο να κυριαρχεί με μία προσθήκη Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) που έχει ως αποτέλεσμα ένα ημίξηρο ροζέ με λαμπερό ανοιχτό χρώμα και ιδιαίτερο αρωματικό χαρακτήρα. Στη γεύση ισορροπεί η οξύτητα με την απαλή επίγευση εσπεριδοειδών. Ένα ευκολόπιοτο κρασί που σερβίρεται στους 7-10 °C.
Θα το συνδυάσουμε με ζυμαρικά, τηγανιτά ψάρια, πιάτα με έντονα μυρωδικά και μπαχαρικά ενώ μπορεί να συνοδεύσει και φρούτα ή επιδόρπια με βάση τη φράουλα ή τα κεράσια.
ΩΔΗ: το ξεχωριστό και στιλάτο blend
Με ξεχωριστό στιλ οινοποίησης και με δυνατότητα παλαίωσης συνδυάζει Αγιωργίτικο και Cabernet Sauvignon προερχόμενο από αμπέλια 15 ετών του ιδιόκτητου αμπελώνα Μπουτάρη στο Ντουραμάνι Νεμέας. Ωριμάζει σε γαλλικά και αμερικάνικα βαρέλια για 12-16 μήνες και αποκτά ένα βαθύ ρουμπινί χρώμα με πορφυρές ανταύγειες. Στη μύτη εύκολα διακρίνουμε άρωμα ώριμων κόκκινων φρούτων που συνδυάζεται με χαρακτηριστικά του ξύλου, της πιπεριάς και του καπνού. Με εξαιρετική δομή στη γεύση και μακρά επίγευση, αυτή η «ΩΔΗ» θα είναι η πιο απολαυστική που έχετε δοκιμάσει. Σερβίρεται στους 16-18°C.
Θα το συνδυάσουμε με έντονες γεύσεις, όπως του αγριογούρουνου, του μοσχαρίσιου κρέατος ωρίμανσης αλλά και των πικάντικων σκληρών τυριών.

Australians are playing through a record-breaking Christmas heat wave
- Temperature records have been smashed as a Christmas heat wave has the southeastern corner of Australia in a stranglehold.
- The hottest place in the country, Marble Bar in the Pilbara of Western Australia hit an all-time heat record of 120 degrees Fahreneit (49 degrees Celsius) on Thursday.
- December and Christmas are only the beginning of the summer season in Australia. It starts getting noticeably toastier around January and February.
SYDNEY, Australia — After firestorms in Victoria killed 173 people in 2009, Australian fire authorities decided it would be best to add a new category to the ubiquitous fire ratings signs that pop up every few miles on rural highways.
When a heat wave sweeps out of the central deserts to smother the heavily populated coastal regions — like what the region has seen this Christmas — officials at the Rural Fire Service bump the measurement up to the new, final notch.
"Catastrophic."
That's what the weather is in Australia this week. It's not hot, really hot, or even extremely hot. It's catastrophic.
