Multimedia Sixties 1968 Music - A retro nostalgia look at music. 1968 Song of the year With an album behind them and an almost hit with Down on Me, Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin made a big splash at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, and the next year came the hit album Cheap Thrills with the big hit single Piece of My Heart and of course the unforgettable album cover by Robert Crumb.

Music News 1968. Modern Culture. Societal Gumbo. Lively Venues. Birthday Greetings and Well-Wishes in Different Languages. A few weeks ago, one of the Russian adults that I tutor in English cheerfully opened her door to me with the words, “With Thanksgiving!”
When she saw the bemused look on my face, she added very formally, “I congratulate you with the American holiday of Thanksgiving.” After I thanked her, I launched into an explanation of why the Russian greeting template does not hold in the English language. Typically, in English, we congratulate people on their accomplishments: “Congratulations on your graduation”; “Congratulations on your new baby”; and the like. We do not congratulate one another with holidays, instead wishing everyone a happy, merry, or joyous celebration. But not all languages follow suit. My student astutely said the words “with Thanksgiving” because, in Russian, all birthdays and holidays are greeted with congratulations and shortened to “with [insert any holiday]“, like c днем рождения (“happy birthday”).

The 14 Most Insane Wedding Dresses Of All Time. Is it Halloween yet? The 9 Best Thanksgiving Episodes for Your Food Coma. By Maria Judnick Years ago, Thanksgiving dinner meant getting dressing up in your Sunday best, going to Grandmama’s house and eating a meal fit for the pages of Gourmet served on her best china.
While the caloric intake of Thanksgiving feasts has remained the same (or perhaps even increased!) , the celebration looks a little different today. Great Uncle Bob might have his favorite pair of sweatpants on at the celebration since he’s too old to care about appearances, the kid’s table might consist of unhappy hipster youth staring dourly at their phones while communicating with other unhappy hipster youth similarly trapped at holiday meals states away, and the entire gluten-free (with vegan options) feast might have been lovingly planned and prepared by the good folks over at Whole Foods/Paycheck.
