And as the years pass and my kids get older, they are adamant that they want to stay up until midnight!!!! I can barely keep my eyes open that long, let alone the kids. I can’t believe that New Year’s Eve is JUST around the corner. According to data, total viewing of kids content on New Year’s Day 2016 exceeded “nearly every single weekend day in 2015.Another year is coming to a close. Netflix says there’s a “big spike” in kids content viewing on New Year’s Day. On the door sign, parents can indicate what shows the kids can watch “back-to-back” on New Year’s Day. The customized countdowns on Netflix this year are based on some favourite kids shows, including “Word Party,” “Beat Bugs,” “Trollhunters and “Fuller House.” Netflix users just need to search “countdowns.”īut what about the morning after? For parents looking for some extra shut-eye, Netflix has created the “Netflix Door Sign,” a printable paper door hanger to affix to their bedroom door before hitting the hay. The “fake” countdowns are a win-win for everyone, Netflix says, because parents can ring in 2017 with the kids at whatever time they choose. Much like it has in the last two years, the video streaming company is providing “on demand” countdowns for kids to celebrate the joy of ringing in the New Year, without having to stay awake hours past their bedtimes. It would appear Netflix has your back on both fronts. But what about New Year’s morning? Betcha want to sleep in, too. 1, while your kids sleep soundly in their beds? Parents, looking to ring in 2017 at the stroke of midnight Jan.

Ringo starr son7/31/2023 Zak Starkey has developed an important tendency to eclectism, probably maturated in such an artistic household and through the relationships with incredible personalities developed throughout his childhood. All the rest is pretty vain and unimportant. Of course, touring with The Who and recording with Oasis can surely make you a rockstar, but, with that sentence, Zak defines what the whole point is about: to be a damn good player. In his own words, as highlighted in this interview with Modern Drummer, “I am not a rock’n’roll star. As a result, Zak had to teach himself how to get his arms around the instrument, inspired by the infinite stack of LPs he would find around his house as a young kid. One band after another, with recording projects sometimes being quitted, and years of trial-and-error processes, Zak reached an incredible success in the Nineties, when he started touring with his childhood heroes (and close friends), The Who members.ĭespite what you may think, Ringo Starr never taught Zak how to play the drums, in the attempt of discouraging him to join the music industry. Starting with pub gigs as part of underground bands as a teenager, he slowly walked up the ladder, collaborating with exceptional musicians along the way (Johnny Marr, John Entwistle, Adrian Smith, and many others). Zak Starkey might have had the privilege of finding himself in a golden network of musicians since the day of his birth, but, as for any other artist around, it took more than ten years of hard work with little-known bands for him to finally shine. Let’s dive into the story and the secrets of one of the most appreciated drummers of his generation. How did he get this far? How did his father’s influence, and the friendship with Keith Moon, affect his artistic choices? However, Zac Starkey, the son of the more-than-legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, can support such a big burden quite effortlessly.Īn energetic, on-point, technically rich drummer, Starkey was able to make a name for himself, working out his long way to the top as any other ambitious musician, with his excellent drumming abilities and some serious drive. It can be pretty daunting, after all, to bear the weight of a big name on your shoulder. Zak has two daughters: Tatia Jayne, from a previous marriage, and Luna, with his partner of 17 years, Sharna “Sshh” Liguz.Being the child of a celebrity is not always a bed of roses, especially when you decide to follow in your talented parent’s footsteps. He also provided occasional drumming work for the British pop band Oasis in the early to mid aughts. After playing with the band on an off for more than a decade, Zak was made a permanent member in 2007. Zak played drums in various bands throughout the 80s and 90s, and joined The Who for their 1996 Quadrophenia tour. Since his father was good pals with the band’s members, Zak too was close to them while growing up, as Keith served as his godfather. It was late Who drummer Keith Moon who gave a young Zak his first drum kit. Jason also grew up to be a drummer before going to work various other jobs in the music industry.Īgainst his famous father’s hopes, Zak grew up to become a professional drummer, seen here in 2019 during a soundcheck with The Who before a performance at London’s Wembley Stadium. Like his older sibling, he was also born at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital in Hammersmith, London. Ringo and Maureen’s second child, son Jason, arrived nearly two years after his big brother on August 19, 1967. Ringo’s musical pals eventually showed Zak the ropes on how to be a stickman, and he began his career as a professional rock drummer as a teen in the early 1980s. Ringo agreed, calling his first-born “a little smasher,” but also revealed, “I won’t let Zak be a drummer,” like himself.īut drumming was in his future, as Zak’s godfather, The Who’s drummer Keith Moon, bought him a drum kit for his 8th birthday. Maureen said upon Zak’s birth, “I’d like the baby to be like Ringo, but he need not necessarily follow in his father’s footsteps,” as a musician. It happened to be the same date that one of The Beatles’ most famous hits, “Yesterday,” was released. Their first child, son Zak, was born on September 13, 1965. The Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, served as Best Man and fellow Beatle George Harrison was present as a witness. Ringo proposed to Maureen in 1965, and they were married 21 days later on February 11 at London’s Caxton Hall Register Office. Inside the New Documentary 'The Beatles: Get Back'

The declaration of independence7/31/2023 Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence later on the Fourth of July (though most historians now accept that the document was not signed until August 2). The delegates made no changes to that key preamble, however, and the basic document remained Jefferson’s words. The process of consideration and revision of Jefferson’s declaration (including Adams’ and Franklin’s corrections) continued on July 3 and into the late morning of July 4, during which Congress deleted and revised some one-fifth of its text. The Continental Congress reconvened on July 1, and the following day 12 of the 13 colonies adopted Lee’s resolution for independence. The Continental Congress Votes for Independence While the body of the document outlined a list of grievances against the British crown, the preamble includes its most famous passage: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” In general terms, the introduction effectively stated that seeking independence from Britain had become “necessary” for the colonies. Adams requesting their corrections….I then wrote a fair copy, reported it to the committee, and from them, unaltered to the Congress.”Īs Jefferson drafted it, the Declaration of Independence was divided into five sections, including an introduction, a preamble, a body (divided into two sections) and a conclusion. I consented I drew it but before I reported it to the committee I communicated it separately to Dr. As he wrote in 1823, the other members of the committee “unanimously pressed on myself alone to undertake the draught. Jefferson had earned a reputation as an eloquent voice for the patriotic cause after his 1774 publication of “A Summary View of the Rights of British America,” and he was given the task of producing a draft of what would become the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson Writes the Declaration of Independence That document would become known as the Declaration of Independence. Livingston of New York–to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain. Before departing, however, the delegates also appointed a five-man committee–including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution and called a recess for several weeks. On June 7, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence before the Continental Congress when it met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. In March 1776, North Carolina’s revolutionary convention became the first to vote in favor of independence seven other colonies had followed suit by mid-May. That same month, the recent British immigrant Thomas Paine published “Common Sense,” in which he argued that independence was a “natural right” and the only possible course for the colonies the pamphlet sold more than 150,000 copies in its first few weeks in publication.ĭid you know? Most Americans did not know Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence until the 1790s before that, the document was seen as a collective effort by the entire Continental Congress. News of his words reached America in January 1776, strengthening the radicals’ cause and leading many conservatives to abandon their hopes of reconciliation. In his message to Parliament in October 1775, King George III railed against the rebellious colonies and ordered the enlargement of the royal army and navy. Things changed over the course of the next year, however, as Britain attempted to crush the rebels with all the force of its great army. America Before the Declaration of IndependenceĮven after the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did–like John Adams– were considered radical. |
