Vincent Van Gogh was born on this day in 1853. 37 years later and his final days in Auvers-sur-Oise are still a bit mysterious. Whilst it's generally believed the gunshot to the chest was self-inflicted, there's a compelling argument it may have been an accident involving local children instead.

I'd link to the article here but unfortunately this subreddit doesn't allow it.

Roof Koreans. People forget that military training is mandatory for males in South Korea, so these guys, immigrants from there, were more than ready to deal with whatever came their way.

I got to hang out with her for a little while after a show back in the 80s. I was doing tour support for a band named Icon that did some shows with her.

We have a family friend who was at Woodstock. His brother had picked up a copy of a magazine that had a 50th anniversary retrospective of Woodstock and in one crowd shot actually found his brother /our friend. Shirtless with a head garland/crown of flowers.
