Einstein's stolen brain 🧠
After Einstein’s death in 1955, his brain was removed during an autopsy without his family’s knowledge or consent. Dr. Thomas Harvey, a pathologist at the Princeton Hospital, was the one who performed the autopsy and kept the brain with the intention of studying it to discover what made Einstein a genius.
Dr. Harvey preserved the brain by cutting it into several sections and encasing them in a type of plastic known as celloidin. Over the years, he sent various pieces of the brain to scientists around the world for further study.

@TracesofTexas I was there when Mickey Mantle hit the first home run in the Astrodome.

@VanessaChaseOG Great find. Pretty unusual to see a guitar player hold an electric guitar "flat" like that - as if he were playing a lap steel guitar.

@TracesofTexas There was no fighting because in 1972, when Willie Nelson played there, he united the rednecks and hippies, and there was peace throughout the realm.

The Texas Quote of the Day, regarding the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, is super but needs just a bit of background. On October 14, 1979, the Armadillo World Headquarters hosted a legendary triple bill consisting of The Clash, Joe Ely, and the Skunks, a local Austin band of considerable reputation. Here's what John Dee Graham, guitarist for The Skunks, had to say about that show:
"We come out on the stage. We were the opening band, and this is the beautiful thing about the Armadillo World Headquarters: it was the Clash, which some people called punk rock, others call it this or that, but they were heavy lifters, right? The place is packed and we came out to play and we were a power trio. We play and I'm looking across this audience and it's just a sea of cowboy hats, mohawks and pony tails. You had the hippies, the punks, and the cowboys, and they were all in the same room together. And there was no fighting, no nothing. That was the Armadillo. Nobody had any idea what they were about to see. The cowboy hats came to see Joe Ely, the punk rockers came to see The Clash, and the hippies just came out because they wanted to see "what the hell's going on here?" So they all came out.
We put on a good show and then Joe Ely ---- I mean, that was when he was with the Maines brothers and Jesse "Guitar" Taylor ---- and it was just unbelievable, just through the roof. They left the stage and I got up in the wings and I see The Clash coming down the hallway and they've got guys on either side of them so nobody can talk to them. right? And they get out on stage and the stage was completely dark and the lights come up and Joe Strummer counts off 'London Calling' by going bang, bang, bang with his mic stand and it had a wooden stage and when they went into 'London Calling' the place just went completely nuts. And we were watching this and I was like, 'Wow, this is important. I know the political ramifications and I know the cultural ramifications but that doesn't begin to describe how and way it's so important. I just soaked it in."
---- John Dee Graham, as interviewed by @OtisGibbs . John Dee died three weeks ago. He was an amazing guitarist and a kind man and is greatly missed. If you like music, Otis' videos/podcast are a must! Photo of the Armadillo World Headquarters by Steve Hopson.
