Not a GenX’er, and wasn’t really in a lot of GenX staples … but F it. Anybody who can live to be 100 and be up and around deserves some respect.

James Hatfield gets it. Yes, he’s played hundreds of shows and is probably sick of some of Metallica’s songs, but he picks up on a fan and realizes that may be that person’s bucket list item. Rock on. 🤘

One that some older GenX’ers might remember from the news.

Fifty-five years ago today, on November 14, 1970, the unthinkable happened in Huntington, West Virginia.

Southern Airways Flight 932, carrying 75 souls, the Marshall University football team, coaches, staff, boosters, and crew, crashed in Wayne County, West Virginia, near Kenova and just short of the Tri-State Airport in Huntington. There were no survivors. It remains the deadliest sports-related tragedy in American history.

That day changed everything. A university lost nearly its entire football program. A small Appalachian city lost sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors. Funeral processions crossed at intersections for days. Seventy children lost at least one parent. But even through the heartbreak, the people of Huntington refused to let the memory of those 75 fade.

From that loss, something powerful was born, resilience. Led by new coach Jack Lengyel and returning player Nate Ruffin, the “Young Thundering Herd” took the field just a year later. Against all odds, they won their first home game with a last-second touchdown, proving that Marshall football, and the community it represents, would rise again.

Every November 14, at the Memorial Fountain in the heart of Marshall’s campus, time stands still. The water is turned off to honor the 75 lives lost. Families, students, and fans gather in silence as names are read aloud, remembering not just the tragedy, but the spirit that carried a community forward.

They are more than a football team. They are a symbol of endurance, unity, and love for one another. We will always remember.

We Are Marshall.

n this day, November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell — a defining moment in world history. For nearly three decades, the Wall had divided East and West Berlin, symbolizing the broader divide between communist and democratic nations during the Cold War. When East German authorities unexpectedly announced that citizens could cross freely, thousands of people gathered at the checkpoints, tearing down sections of the Wall with their hands, hammers, and sheer determination. The event marked the beginning of Germany’s reunification and became a global symbol of freedom, hope, and the triumph of unity over division.

Hootie and the Blowfish blew up because of the perseverence of one gutsy record exec, and a chance listen by David Letterman.

When you consider that our parents went through high school listening to “Sugar Sugar,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” and “Honky Tonk Women,” it’s a little more forgivable that they’d object to “Slide It In.”
