Round 1 Polls 100 - 128

[kitausuret]

So, out of curiosity, I went through all my fics and picked out the ones that were inspired by specific comic series, arcs, or issues. I then took a tally to see who inspired my fics the most, either out of spite for what they wrote, or out of love - sometimes a weird combination of the both.

Robbie Thompson tops the list with 18. This didn't surprise me - I write a ton of stuff directly inspired by Venom: Space Knight.

Dan Slott is in second place with 16 - mostly spite-writing but also this is what happens when you write on Spider-Man for 10 years. He'd also written Venom Inc. with Mike Costa so that skews things a little in his favor.

Brian Michael Bendis was surprisingly third at 8 works inspired, mostly for his work on the Planet of the Symbiotes arc during Guardians of the Galaxy and just having Flash/Venom as Guardians in general.

Mike Costa is still pretty high up here at 7, since he worked on Venom Inc. I almost feel like he should get more credit from me though since Dust to Dust is so heavily influenced by Venom vol. 3.

Cullen Bunn and Rick Remender are both at 6, but like Mike Costa, Bunn was a big influence on DTD so I feel he should actually get skewed higher LOL.

Len Kaminski and Donny Cates each have inspired 5. I was honestly expecting there to be more for Cates.

Paul Jenkins, David Michelinie, and Tom DeFalco are all tied at 4. I always assumed Michelinie would've influenced my works more, given that he created Venom, but also his stories are just so strong I guess I typically don't feel the need to build on them much? But also you can assume with me that I'm always trying to channel Michelinie when I write Eddie.,

Gerry Conway, J. Michael Straczynski, and Roy Thomas (for some of my older fics) are all at 3. Again, I'm surprised by the low number for Conway since I do like his work so much.

Christian Cooper, Marc Guggenheim, and Zeb Wells all sit at 2. I always assumed Wells would be higher since he helped create Scorn but I also haven't actually written her that much.. hmm...

And lastly, Fred van Lente, Howard Mackie, Brian Reed, Ben Acker & Ben Blacker, Christos Gage, Larry Hama, Mark Millar, and James Robinson each inspired a single fic from me. Of these I'm most stunned by Larry Hama because he actually wrote.. a lot of 90s Venom.

Looking at this list is really interesting for me though because it also kind of makes me realize where I pull so much influence for how I write characterization and dialogue and such? Obviously Robbie Thompson is a huge inspiration for how I write Flash - but I also approach his character with the writing of many many others in the back of my mind. When I write Eddie Brock, it's usually some amalgamation of how my favorite writers for him (Michelinie, Kaminski, Bunn, even Conway) have depicted him.

Notably absent from the list, at least for me I think it's notable, is J. M. DeMatteis, considering how much I've gone on about how I love his writing. But I think it's because a lot of his comics I've read touch on some pretty dark subjects that I don't always feel comfortable addressing myself.

Taking a peek at some of my current WIPs and the comics that directly inspired them, I could add the likes of Stan Lee, Kurt Busiek, Mark Waid, Ann Nocenti, and yeah, definitely JMD to the list.

I do feel it's worth mentioning that if I've ever written anything with Peter and the Venom Symbiote, though, you can bet that I've got Louise Simonson's Web of Spider-Man #1 in mind. Every single time.

"JURY RETURNED TRUE BILLS AT PEACE SESSION," Hamilton Spectator. December 6, 1933. Page 7. ---- Several Face Trial on Serious Counts ---- Frederick Pollington Was Remanded ---- Half of Copetown in Court To-day ---- The grand jury at the winter general sessions of the peace before Julge George C. Thomson this morning returned true bills in all the indictments given it to consider. A the conclusion of the current civil case, George W. Ballard, K.C., representing the crown prosecution, will proceed against the following: Sam Hrynowic and Paul Gawrelez, intimidation; Willis Pelly and Edward Wells, armed robbery; John Lett, criminal negligence; Alfred Little and Thomas O'Donnell, charged with serious offenses, and Joseph Barth, drunken driving.

John Hurst, 122 Main street east, who was committed for trial by Magistrate Burbidge on a charge of shopbreaking with intent at the Dominion Stores, 228 King street west, and who elected trial by a judge, appeared before Judge Thomson this morning and pleaded guilty to the count against him. After His Honour heard an outline of the case by Constable Langdon, he reserved judgment judgment until the end of the criminal session and remand- ed Hurst accordingly.

The crown requested an adjournment in the case of Garth Miller, committed for trial also by the city police magistrate on a charge of auto theft. The reason given was that police are still trying to locate the alleged accomplice of the accused man. The hearing was adjourned until the next court of competent jurisdiction. J. P. O'Reilly appeared on behalf of Miller. The case of Fred D. Woods, charged with criminal negligence following an accident on the Brantford highway, was adjourned until March session.

Remanded For Sentence Frederick Pollington, 242 Robert street, who obtained a divorce from his wife at the last session only to find himself in another court on a charge of bigamy, was remanded for sentence on two days' notice following the appeal of his counsel, D. A. Robinson.

Mr. Robinson explained to Judge Thomson, following Pollington's plea of guilty, that he was asking a suspension of sentence because of the accused man's age - he is 28 - and because he entered into the second and bigamous form of marriage, after he parted parted with his first wife because of allegeded threats by the father of the girl he was going with. His divorce decree will not be made absolute for six months, and as he intends to marry the second girl legally at the expiration of that time, he was dealt with leniently by Judge Thomson, who remanded him for sentence on two days' notice. Bail was set at $2,000.

Was Settled The suit of William R. Clark, a minor, and his father, Vernon R. Clark, against Norman and Percy Smith for $500 damages for injuries sustained by the minor plaintiff when he was struck by the Smith car on Cameron avenue on July 7 last, was settled. This was the first civil jury case on the list before Judge Thomson. The young man suffered minor head injuries when he was hit. Haines & Wills acted on behalf of the plaintiffs, while the defendants were represented by Harry F. Hazell

Reputation Hurt It seemed as though the whole village of Copetown was into the court room crowded room to hear the claim of Gordon DeForest against another Copetown farmer, Wilfred Durham, for $1,000 damages and costs for alleged malicious statements which are claimed to have. damaged his reputation. The plaintiff claims that on St. Patrick's day last the defendant made the damaging statements. He further claims that his reputation has been so injured that Horace Shipman, the mortgagee of his farm, has commenced foreclosure proceedings, and that he has suffered loss of credit and standing in the community.

H. F. Hazell is acting for DeForest, while the defendant is represented by Read & Innes, of Brantford. This case, a jury trial, is continuing.

Nathaniel Adams Cole est né le 17 mars à Montgomery, en Alabama, et s'est rapidement retrouvé à Chicago, où sa famille a déménagé

Son père, le révérend Edward J. Coles, était pasteur de l'église baptiste, dans laquelle chantait sa mère Perlina.  Nat avait un frère aîné, Eddie, et une sœur, Evelyn, et des frères plus jeunes, Isaac et Fred, nés à Chicago.  Ils chantaient et jouaient tous du piano et avaient des voix très similaires.  Il y avait une atmosphère joyeuse dans la famille, il n'y avait jamais de querelles et tout le monde s'aimait, surtout Nat.

Sa première idole était le pianiste Earl Hines, dont les disques ont défini et façonné le goût musical de Nat, tandis que son père, avec qui il chantait souvent des Negro Spirituals (spirituals et gospel), est devenu une influence spirituelle.  Nat a commencé à jouer du piano à l'âge de quatre ans et a constitué son premier orchestre composé d'une douzaine de camarades de classe.

Ayant commencé à travailler professionnellement comme pianiste dans le sextet de son frère Eddie à l'âge de 19 ans, Nat a raccourci son nom de famille (devenant simplement Cole sans le « s »).  En 1936, Nat part en tournée avec la revue Noble Sissle, qui s'effondre un an plus tard, le laissant fauché à Los Angeles.  Là, Nat a épousé la danseuse Nadine Robinson du spectacle et a commencé à jouer dans des clubs locaux pour 5 $ la nuit.  A cette époque, il a essayé de créer son propre quatuor, mais le batteur n'est pas venu à la première représentation, il ne restait donc qu'un trio - contrebasse, guitare et piano.  Nous sommes en 1937, à l'époque des grands orchestres, et les dirigeants doutaient qu'une si petite formation puisse intéresser les visiteurs, mais néanmoins, le trio de Nat s'est avéré très attractif pour les auditeurs.

#FBF News From Yesteryear

May 19, 1933 – 90 YEARS AGO
excerpt from Rockland County Journal-News

PLAN CLEAN-UP OF MINE HOLE


       “Clean the Sparkill Creek” is the war cry of an army of workers who are planning a house-to-house canvass of property owners and tenants to obtain co-operation in the drive for civic improvement. Karl Kirchner, Tappan realtor, was appointed chairman of the cleanup committee Wednesday night when the executive committees of the South Orangetown Lions Club and the Piermont Dutch Arms met at the home of Ward Ackley, of Piermont.
       The drive committee will meet on the battlefield itself Sunday afternoon at five o’clock to look over the ground and plan its attack. The meeting will be at Frank Chaize's garage. Each householder through the “Mine Hole” section and the Ferdon avenue residential district will be visited and urged to co-operate by improving his own particular plot.
       Among the chief points in the campaign are the establishment of a park on the site of the old Boss ice house at the upper end of the valley, the covering of the ash dump on the creek bank in Piermont, the cleaning and improvement of the “Mine Hole” spring, and a general cleanup of property on the north bank of the creek. The Rev. J. H. Crockett, of St. Charles Church, Sparkill will give assistance to the cause by appeals from the pulpit for the co-operation of the Negro residents in his congregation.
       Mr. Kirchner is chairman of a committee which includes C. H. Kane, Trustee; George M. Stevenson; M. J. Bierbower; Frank Chaize; J. Ennis DuBois; and G. DeGroat. Fred Robley presided at Wednesday's meeting as temporary chairman. A finance committee, consisting of Robert Tangemann, Ward Ackley, and Judge Theodore W. Jessup, was also appointed
       The Rev. William V. Berg, who started the movement and who has supplied the most practical ideas for going about the task, was named as chairman of the publicity committee assisted by John Robinson, president of the Dutch Arms, and Harold E. F. Tanner, president of the Lions Club. Others who took part in the discussion at the meeting were H. C. Stiteler, E. C. Rodgers and Frank A. Peterson.

CLOSED! Preliminary Hot Vintage TV Men List

Alright folks! We have one week left on submissions for the Hot Vintage TV Men's Bracket! As promised here is a list of all the Hot Vintage TV Men who have been submitted and passed our preliminary eligibility checks. There are a handful of guys on this list and one or two not on it that we are currently still debating on so reminder that this list is not final and subject to change.

Currently we have 231 Hot Vintage TV Men!

Also in advance of the competition I'd like to remind anyone submitting propaganda for someone that starred in a show that aired only partially during our timeframe or was under 18 for a part of a shows filming, to please make sure you are only submitting propaganda that is from within our timeframe and when the actor was 18 years or older. This is also just good to keep in mind in general as several people submitted actors for shows that aren't eligible for our tournament either because it was outside our time period or in one case the actor was underaged for the entirety of the show (though many were eligible for other shows they were submitted for). We do our best to screen for these things but sometimes it's hard to tell or it’s a show we don't personally know well enough so we appreciate help from y'all letting us know if you do catch anything.

"Un conseil donné aux vétérans par le col. LaFlèche," La Presse. June 19, 1933. Page 8. ---- "Vos demandes ne doivent pas être extravagantes," affirme-t-il. ---- JUSTICE POUR TOUS --- Plus de 200 membres de la Légion canadienne (B. E. S. L.) ont rendu hommage, samedi soir au lieutenant-colonel L-R. La Flèche, D.S.O..chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, sous-ministre de la Défense nationale.et ancien président général de la Legion. Le banquet avait été organisé par le chapitre provincial et était présidé par le lieutenant-colonel François DeMartigny, président provincial. La fête était donne sous lesauspices du brigadier général W-W.-P. Gibsone, C.MG., D.S.O., O.B.E., officier commandant du district militaire No 4. Le banquet eut lieu dans les quartiers du mess des officiers du Régiment de Maisonneuve.

Le sous-ministre a déclaré dans son discours que le gouvernement était prêt à faire sa part pour les vétérans et que ceux-ci auraient justice, mais d'un autre côté, a-t-il dit, il ne faut pas réclamer d'une façon extravagante surtout à une époque critique comme l'époque actuelle. Il n'y a aucun doute dans mon esprit et dans celui de la population, en général, que vous avez des droits acquis à notre reconnaissance et que nous devons respecter ces droits, mais le monde traverse une crise, terrible et les vétérans comme tous et chacun doivent avoir confiance dans l'avente et être patients."

Une petite Société des Nations Le colonel LaPlèche a rappelé que le banquet était une véritable petite "Société des Nations" puisqu'on y remarquait des représentants de la France, des Etats-Unis, de la Belgique, de la Pologne et de l'Italie. Toutes des nations alliées qui sont "prêtes encore à combattre pour la Justice et le droit aujourd'hui comme hier", a dit M. le sous-ministre.

Le colonel Wilfrid Bovey, D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, proposa la santé du sous-ministre en français. Il a déclaré qu'il était nécessaire pour la jeunesse de puiser son inspiration dans l'histoire des "héros du passé", mais, a-t-il dit, nous ne devons pas oublier que les Canadiens se sont aussi conduits comme des héros, lors de la dernière guerre.

L'on ne peut oublier les exploits légendaires du Royal 22e Régiment.

"Nous avons illustré d'une façon tangible à l'univers entier qu'il existe une véritable nation canadienne. Côte à côte, les Canadiens-français et leurs frères de langue anglaise travaillent comme une seule unité dans le meilleur intérêt du Dominion. Ils aiment le Canada et c'est pourquoi il nous faut prendre garde de développer un esprit de séparatisme dont les conséquences pourraient être funestes."

Une motion Le colonel Hercule Lefebvre, M.C., V.D., commandant de la 11e brigade d'infanterie, a proposé la santé du colonel La Flèche, en anglais. "Je proposerai cette santé sous forme de motion, félicitant le gouvernement du choix du colonel LaFlèche comme sous-ministre de la Défense nationale", a proposé le brigadier Lefebvre. Cette motion a été adoptée à l'unanimité.

Le sous-ministre a profité ensuite de l'occasion pour épingler sur la poitrine du camarade Napoléon Marion, insigne des anciens présidents. Le brigadier-général T.-L. Tremblay, C.M.G., D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, ancien commandant du Royal 22e Régiment, a présenté des médailles de Long Service à deux de ses anciens officiers: les majors L.-H. Desjardins, V.D. et Georges-U. Francoeur, V.D., tous deux du Régiment de Maisonneuve maintenant.

Le colonel F.-F. Clarke, D.S.O. ancien président provincial, a aussi remis une coupe au camarade Beatty de la section de Québec, qui s'est classée première dans le concours de recrutement organisé par les diverses succursales de la province.

Des discours ont également été prononcés par le brigadier-général Gilsone, le lieutenant-colonel P.-A. Piuze, président de la succursale Jean-Brillant, V.C., de la Légion canadienne; le capitaine Morgan, M.C.. V.D.: le lieutenant-colonel Charles-Auguste Brosseau, V. D. C. de G.O.C., Régiment de Maisonneuve et le colonel Gaudet, CMC, chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, organisateur du Royal 22e Régiment.

Today we remember the passing of Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton who Died: July 25, 1984 in Los Angeles, California

Willie Mae Thornton (December 11, 1926 – July 25, 1984), better known as Big Mama Thornton, was an American rhythm-and-blues singer and songwriter. She was the first to record Leiber and Stoller's "Hound Dog", in 1952,which became her biggest hit, staying seven weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1953 and selling almost two million copies. Thornton's other recordings included the original version of "Ball and Chain", which she wrote.

Her recording of Hound Dog, written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952, and later recorded by Elvis Presley, reached Number 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. According to Maureen Mahon, a music professor at New York University, "the song is seen as an important beginning of rock-and-roll, especially in its use of the guitar as the key instrument".

Thornton's birth certificate states that she was born in Ariton, Alabama, but in an interview with Chris Strachwitz, she claimed Montgomery, Alabama, as her birthplace, probably because Montgomery was better known than Ariton. She was introduced to music in a Baptist church, where her father was a minister and her mother a singer. She and her six siblings began to sing at early ages. Her mother died young, and Willie Mae left school and got a job washing and cleaning spittoons in a local tavern. In 1940 she left home and, with the help of Diamond Teeth Mary, joined Sammy Green's Hot Harlem Revue and was soon billed as the "New Bessie Smith". Her musical education started in the church but continued through her observation of the rhythm-and-blues singers Bessie Smith and Memphis Minnie, whom she deeply admired.

Thornton's career began to take off when she moved to Houston in 1948. "A new kind of popular blues was coming out of the clubs in Texas and Los Angeles, full of brass horns, jumpy rhythms, and wisecracking lyrics." In 1951 she signed a recording contract with Peacock Records and performed at the Apollo Theater in 1952. Also in 1952, while working with another Peacock artist Johnny Otis, she recorded "Hound Dog", the first record produced by its writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The pair were present at the recording, with Leiber demonstrating the song in the vocal style they had envisioned; "We wanted her to growl it," Stoller said, which she did. Otis played drums, after the original drummer was unable to play an adequate part. The record sold more than half a million copies, and went to number one on the R&B chart, helping to bring in the dawn of rock 'n' roll. Although the record made Thornton a star, she saw little of the profits.

On Christmas Day 1954 in a theatre in Houston, Texas, she witnessed fellow performer Johnny Ace, also signed to Duke and Peacock record labels, accidentally shoot and kill himself while playing with a .22 pistol. Thornton continued to record for Peacock until 1957 and performed in R&B package tours with Junior Parker and Esther Phillips.

Thornton's success with "Hound Dog" was followed three years later by Elvis Presley recording his hit version of the song. His recording at first annoyed Leiber who wrote, "I have no idea what that rabbit business is all about. The song is not about a dog, it's about a man, a freeloading gigolo." But Elvis' version sold ten million copies, so today few fans know that "Hound Dog" began as "an anthem of black female power." Similarly, Thornton originally recorded her song "Ball 'n' Chain" for Bay-Tone Records in the early 1960s, "and though the label chose not to release the song... they did hold on to the copyright"—which meant that Thornton missed out on the publishing royalties when Janis Joplin recorded the song later in the decade. However, in a 1972 interview, Thornton acknowledged giving Joplin permission to record the song and receiving royalty payments from its sales.

As her career began to fade in the late 1950s and early 1960s, she left Houston and relocated to the San Francisco Bay area, "playing clubs in San Francisco and L.A. and recording for a succession of labels", notably the Berkeley-based Arhoolie Records. In 1965, she toured with the American Folk Blues Festival in Europe, where her success was notable "because very few female blues singers at that time had ever enjoyed success across the Atlantic." While in England that year, she recorded her first album for Arhoolie, Big Mama Thornton – In Europe. It featured backing by blues veterans Buddy Guy (guitar), Fred Below (drums), Eddie Boyd (keyboards), Jimmy Lee Robinson (bass), and Walter "Shakey" Horton (harmonica), except for three songs on which Fred McDowell provided acoustic slide guitar.

In 1966, Thornton recorded her second album for Arhoolie, Big Mama Thornton with the Muddy Waters Blues Band – 1966, with Muddy Waters (guitar), Sammy Lawhorn (guitar), James Cotton (harmonica), Otis Spann (piano), Luther Johnson (bass guitar), and Francis Clay (drums). She performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1966 and 1968. Her last album for Arhoolie, Ball n' Chain, was released in 1968. It was made up of tracks from her two previous albums, plus her composition "Ball and Chain" and the standard "Wade in the Water". A small combo, including her frequent guitarist Edward "Bee" Houston, provided backup for the two songs. Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company's performance of "Ball 'n' Chain" at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and the release of the song on their number one album Cheap Thrills renewed interest in Thornton's career.

By 1969, Thornton had signed with Mercury Records, which released her most successful album, Stronger Than Dirt, which reached number 198 in the Billboard Top 200 record chart. Thornton had now signed a contract with Pentagram Records and could finally fulfill one of her biggest dreams. A blues woman and the daughter of a preacher, Thornton loved the blues and what she called the "good singing" of gospel artists like the Dixie Hummingbirds and Mahalia Jackson. She had always wanted to record a gospel record, and with the album Saved (PE 10005), she achieved that longtime goal. The album includes the gospel classics "Oh, Happy Day," "Down By The Riverside," "Glory, Glory Hallelujah," "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," "Lord Save Me," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "One More River" and "Go Down Moses".

By then, the American blues revival had come to an end. While the original blues acts like Thornton mostly played smaller venues, younger people played their versions of blues in massive arenas for big money. Since the blues had seeped into other genres of music, the blues musician no longer needed impoverishment or geography for substantiation; the style was enough. While at home the offers became fewer and smaller, things changed for good in 1972, when Thornton was asked to rejoin the American Folk Blues Festival tour. She thought of Europe as a good place for herself, and, with the lack of engagements in the United States, she agreed happily. The tour, beginning on March 2, took Thornton to Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden, where it ended on March 27 in Stockholm. With her on the bill were Eddie Boyd, Big Joe Williams, Robert Pete Williams, T- Bone Walker, Paul Lenart, Hartley Severns, Edward Taylor and Vinton Johnson. As in 1965, they garnered recognition and respect from other musicians who wanted to see them.

In the 1970s, years of heavy drinking began to damage Thornton's health. She was in a serious auto accident but recovered to perform at the 1973 Newport Jazz Festival with Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (a recording of this performance, The Blues—A Real Summit Meeting, was released by Buddha Records). Thornton's last albums were Jail and Sassy Mama for Vanguard Records in 1975. Other songs from the recording session were released in 2000 on Big Mama Swings. Jail captured her performances during mid-1970s concerts at two prisons in the northwestern United States. She was backed by a blues ensemble that featured sustained jams by George "Harmonica" Smith and included the guitarists Doug MacLeod, Bee Houston and Steve Wachsman; the drummer Todd Nelson; the saxophonist Bill Potter; the bassist Bruce Sieverson; and the pianist J. D. Nicholson. She toured extensively through the United States and Canada, played at the Juneteenth Blues Fest in Houston and shared the bill with John Lee Hooker. She performed at the San Francisco Blues Festival in 1979 and the Newport Jazz Festival in 1980. In the early 1970s, Thornton's sexual proclivities became a question among blues fans. Big Mama also performed in the "Blues Is a Woman" concert that year, alongside classic blues legend Sippie Wallace, sporting a man's three-piece suit, straw hat, and gold watch. She sat at center stage and played pieces she wanted to play, which were not on the program. Thornton took part in the Tribal Stomp at Monterey Fairgrounds, the Third Annual Sacramento Blues Festival, and the Los Angeles Bicentennial Blues with BB King and Muddy Waters. She was a guest on an ABC-TV special hosted by actor Hal Holbrook and was joined by Aretha Franklin and toured through the club scene. She was also part of the award-winning PBS television special Three Generations of the blues with Sippie Wallace and Jeannie Cheatham.

Thornton was found dead at age 57 by medical personnel in a Los Angeles boarding house on July 25, 1984. She died of heart and liver disorders due to her longstanding alcohol abuse.
