The friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft did not create the modern Progressive movement, but instead strengthened and legitimized it as a serious national movement. Clearly, the falling out between the two men in 1912 set the wheels in motion for Woodrow Wilson's rise while fracturing the Republican Party.

Found this in an abandoned house in Ontario. Rush with Max Webster at the Welland Arena, June 17, 1976, $5.50 at the door, just a few months after 2112 came out.

The house is basically a time capsule of a lifelong music fan. The last calendar on the wall is from November 2003, and the owner hasn’t lived there since. Other things I found:

  • An Uncle Sam’s monthly lineup poster with Moxy, Coney Hatch, Honeymoon Suite, Goddo and more
  • More stubs from Honeymoon Suite, Kim Mitchell, Toronto and Rough Trade shows around Niagara
  • Three signed Davy Jones (Monkees) photos
  • Old Rolling Stone and Circus magazines, including a George Harrison cover
  • A Sloan single, a Beatles Fan pin and a full set of Beatles album mugs
  • Cases of cassettes: Platinum Blonde, KISS, Queen, The Beatles, The Doors
  • Turntables, 8-track and reel-to-reel decks in nearly every room
  • An ALF doll, a rotary phone and a little Christmas tree still standing in the corner

I didn’t take anything; everything was photographed and left where it was. Did anyone here go to shows at Uncle Sam’s or the Welland Arena back then?

See all the crazy stuff I found here:
