User talk:JohnRogers

Hello, John Rogers. Welcome to Wikipedia.

A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)

 * Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that!
 * When you have time, check out Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
 * You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
 * If puzzled, put a question on Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
 * Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

Hi John, Blue Amberol Records doesn't make sense at the present. It doesn't mention the article's subject, and appears to be just disc listing. Start with eg Blue Amberol Records is a US(?) record lable whose titles include...

I'm enjoying your contributions. One thing I'm wondering about is that lots of them have lots of unneeded html programing in them; "”&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp" etc. Are you adding those yourself, or is that an artifact of some program you're using? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 16:56, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi John, nice work except one thing - album and film titles should be italics not quotes. See Wikipedia style guide. Iam 05:34, Oct 19, 2003 (UTC)

...And please use the wiki 2 ' rather than html. Otherwise, keep up the good work! Cheers, -- Infrogmation 01:21, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Also, you've recently been converting song titles to italics -- according to the style guide for titles, song titles should be in "real" quotes rather than italicized (album titles are italicized):

"Red House" first appeared on the Jimi Hendrix album Are You Experienced?.

Perhaps you can reprogram your parser to change these to hard quotes? Jgm 13:30, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)

You have been doing a lot of good work and I thought I would mention that Tiles 06:55, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Thank you. I find the formatting guide (or is that rules) to be somewhat confusing but the data is worth the effort. If only there was a wiki symbol for Tab (sigh). John Rogers

Music, music, music
Hello. I don't think our paths have really crossed before. I'm glad that you are going around tidying up after me. Deb 21:18, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your note. That's a good suggestion of yours - though, now that we have the "Category" facility, I can see all lists being outlawed in the future.  Actually, though, I think people are more likely to click on the name of the musical to get the credits, rather than on the year.  It would be great to have a comprehensive set of articles about musicals, but I fear it will take quite a while - some are quite obscure, aren't they? Deb 19:05, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi, John. Yes, I think we should aim to create articles for as many musicals as possible.  Let's face it, most articles begin life as stubs, so there's no shame in it. Deb 16:52, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Pop singers categorization
Hi. Taking a look at Traditional pop music, your recategorizing the Boswell Sisters as "Traditional pop music singers" seems not to fit, so I'm reverting. Possibly the article &/or categorizations need some reworking, do you have any thoughts or suggestions on that? Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:31, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Recording dates
You seem to have a lot of recording dates and similar information. Where are you getting it from? I'm actually glad to see your edits to my articles, since they supply info I didn't have and anything that builds up the articles about the songs I like is good. -- BRG 15:23, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks. The only source I'd seen online was for Perry Como's recordings, at (which you probably know about). -- BRG 15:55, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Hildegarde
You say: "Hildegarde recorded Darling,Je Vous Aime, Beaucoup on May 20, 1935.

I think it should be returned to the 1935 in music page."

That is very puzzling, because all the information I've managed to find gives the copyright date as 1936; how could it be recorded before it was written? (see, e. g. ) I wonder if your recording date is wrong? -- BRG 13:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Further search does seem to confirm your 1935 date, as see and . -- BRG 14:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Notability of Clifford Grey
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Clifford Grey, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Clifford Grey seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Clifford Grey, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

A request
Since you and I often work on the same pages, I just wanted to make a request. If you come across any page on which I put a reference to the discography at settlet.fateback.com, could you change it to the new URL, 78discography.com ? I've been trying to do this, but I'm sure there are a lot of pages I couldn't spot. -- BRG (talk) 15:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

The Pleasure of His Company
Hello, John. May I press you on this detail of the Stanley Holloway article? I have found that details are frustratingly hard to lay hands on, and if you have chapter and verse it would be a great help. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Popular Music says, "...and in 1977 toured Australia and the Far East in a tribute to Noël Coward entitled The Pleasure Of His Company." If the production was a stage play rather than a Coward tribute show, the main text of the Holloway article is wrong and will need to be amended. Most grateful for any citable information you may have about this production. Tim riley (talk) 11:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Stanley Holloway FAC
Hello, I hope you don't mind in me messaging you. I have noticed you made an edit on Mark Sheridan not so long ago. Judging by your user page, I'm assuming you take an interest in music hall, variety, victorian/edwardian actors and actresses etc? The reason I ask is that Stanley Holloway has now been nominated at FAC, but it has only received one set of comments there. Because of this I am desperatly trying to drum up some support. If you can review the article and comment here it would be much appreciated. If you know of anyone else who might be interested in doing so then please direct them accordingly. All the best -- Cassianto (talk) 17:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Sam Coslow and "Everybody Loves Somebody"
Hi. Are you sure about this? Some sources list him as a co-writer of that song and some don't. If you are positive and have convincing evidence, please also edit this, as he's still listed there (also, to help prevent having that credit introduced again in the future, I think it's crucial that you mention it – and give your proof – on the talk pages for both the song and Coslow). Regards – ὁ οἶστρος (talk) 14:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Please bear in mind that having a record sleeve or something where Coslow isn't listed doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't involved: The Trashmen, for example, had to be sued to give credit where it was due with regards to "Surfin' Bird". So maybe (I don't know) there is a case to be made for Coslow. – ὁ οἶστρος (talk) 14:46, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

An article titled “Same Old Song” appeared in the Los Angeles Times on August 3, 1997. It describes how Coslow received royalties for “Everybody Loves Somebody” as the result of an agreement with Irving Taylor and Ken Lane in 1950. Coslow’s claim was based on the melody of a 1920s song titled “Midnight Moon”.

“Midnight Moon” can be heard here:

http://archive.org/details/MidnightMoon

The first two lines of the chorus are very similar to the first two lines of the chorus of “Everybody Loves Somebody”. The verse and the remainder of the chorus are different. The main musical theme of “Everybody Loves Somebody” does appear to be inspired by “Midnight Moon”.

However it appears that Sam Coslow did not write “Midnight Moon”. The songwriter credits on the recording noted above are to Hare--Schafer—Bernard and this attribution is repeated in the Library of Congress database SONIC.

The transfer of copyright to Coslow is explained in this reference: http://books.google.se/books?id=2hTmIYzDdN0C&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=%22midnight+moon%22+%22coslow%22&source=bl&ots=xot5GmOGVH&sig=O5TaRAHKbfnz-usaZSRINX9EDCY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PoPPUOnQCNH24QSEsICoBg&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22midnight%20moon%22%20%22coslow%22&f=false

Coslow’s name does not appear on sheet music for “Everybody Loves Somebody” even after the 1950 royalties agreement. Neither “Midnight Moon” nor “Everybody Loves Somebody” is mentioned in Coslow’s autobiography.

The ASCAP entry for “Everybody Loves Somebody” is nonsensical because it credits Coslow as co-lyricist when his only claim to royalties was based on the melody!

In the light of this information, I believe my change should stand. The Wikipedia entry for “Everybody Loves Somebody” is technically correct because it reflects the ASCAP entry which has been supported in the courts, even though dubious.

I am indebted to members of the 78-l mailing list for identifying the quoted references.

It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day Comment
It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day is a song featured in the film, Gulliver's Travels (1939 film). A redirect there is appropriate in my view. A blank page on the other hand is not appropriate; if you think the page has no useful content, then propose it for deletion at WP:RFD. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:55, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

An article about the song could usefully link to the film. But a link from the name of the song merely precludes the opportunity to write an article about the song itself. I agree with you about the blank page but the problem is created by the initial link. Next time I try to undo this type of inappropriate link I will insert an article about the song.JohnRogers (talk) 04:56, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Sandbox
You came to my attention because my Friend Wilf showed me a very tattered and heavily annotated copy of British Dance Bands on Record, 1911 - 1945 and pointed out that we had the wrong date for She Had to Go and Lose It at the Astor. When I got round to updating the article I found that you had beaten me to it.

Please note that I have moved your article drafts to User:JohnRogers/sandbox. There was nothing wrong with what you were doing but the convention is that your main user page is reserved for you to tell us as much or as little as you want about yourself. As a minimum, I would add where you live, at least as detailed as country.

You are allowed as many user sub-pages as you need so I would split Elsie Randolph out of your sandbox into User:JohnRogers/sandbox2 or User:JohnRogers/Elsie Randloph. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:53, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890-1954
I've noticed you've reverted a few instances where editors have referred to pre-1950s US chart positions. I don't know if you know Whitburn's book Pop Memories 1890-1954, in which he sets out "estimated" chart placings back to 1890 for recordings, based on a whole variety of published sources. I have a copy of the book. His methodology is somewhat dubious and has been criticised, but the book exists and Whitburn is normally regarded as a reliable source. My view has been that we should treat in the details in the book with great caution, but if we provide references it's OK to refer to it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Ignoring talk page discussion on yet another article
I noticed that you ignored another talk page discussion at Talk:Mildred_Bailey by repeating your deletion of her birth date here. (First time here.) It's absolutely clear that you were aware of this discussion because you commented here yet you ignored it, sure in your position that you are right, while disputing a reliable source without providing anything to back up your own position.

This is a canonical example of Tendentious_editing while not providing anything to support your own position.

I realize you think you're right and in your mind (only), you're editing in good faith, but the way you're going about it is a serious and chronic problem. If it continues, you may be blocked from editing.  Toddst1 (talk) 06:19, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Philatelic investment

2003 post
I hope that readers find the Philatelic Investment article useful. As a Wiki newbie, I'm grateful for the format editing contributed by the more experienced Wikians. Should anyone have any questions regarding the topic, or suggestions on how to improve the article, please inquire or comment here. -Alex (ARog)

 * This should be written in the third person - consider that after a year of changes, it's not going at all clear which editor the "I" is referring to. Another thing to consider is making it a little more "for the ages", not referring to today's situation.  If you absolutely must make a statement that is only true today, use the link as of 2003, that way next year people can find this article in 2004 and decided whether the statement is still true.  Still another thing that would be useful is to quote some authority.  As an encyclopedia, one of our charters is to connect general readers to specialized literature where they can go into depth; that is also the basis for verification of statements, especially the potentially controversial ones. Stan 21:48 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * Change point form's hyphen into star (*), and then it'll really become point form in Wiki markup. Just leave no line between each star-point. --Menchi 03:08 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Source
Is this from some pamphlet? ("Appendix") --Menchi 03:08 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * The tone of this article is terrible. It must have been written by Dwight Schrute. (seriously, dilettantes?) there's a slightly superior air to it, not helped by the first-person text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.178.198 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 14 May 2007

 * Nothing much has improved as of January 2008. The use of first-person text is glaringly annoying.  I've tagged it for cleanup in the hope someone notices. —QuicksilverT @ 01:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * As a professional stamp dealer I find this a very poor and misleading article. It strikes me that it does not explain philatelic investment to any great extent, also it is very USA-centric, no mention of Stanley Gibbons etc.  Also I do not understand why this article has a large section on damaged stamps?  These have nothing to do with stamp investment, I have yet to see any investment portfolio with sub-standard material, the rule of thumb is always to buy top quality when investing.  It is too long and needs editing down.  The discussion on pricing belongs in a separate article on stamp pricing if such an article needs writing.

 * There is no mention of proof material, varieties, missing colours etc. All popular items in an investor's portfolio. I would have a serious re-think regarding this page and simplify the article to one that purely explains the phenomenom of stamps bought for investment, rather than enjoyment, rather than attempting to give advice on how to buy stamps for an investment - a very dangerous and costly business in my experience! Bigger.Simon (talk) 20:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Improvement plan
Stan- Thanks for your suggestions. I'm in the process of polishing this article.

A)I'm modifying the article to put the whole of it into the third person.

B) Re: making it more "timeless," this is somewhat more problematic, since many of the examples used to illustrate various points relate to recent or current aspects of the stamp market; perhaps I should eliminate the investment "tips" given in the appendices

C) Re: citing authorities- unfortunately, there aren't any. Stamp Investing is a "new frontier" as far as tangibles investing goes; while there is a vast amount of philatelic literature, there are very few books on stamp investing, and the few that exist are overly general and not very useful; perhaps I should include an expanded list of useful books and publications, however; perhaps I should also dig up some old stamp catalogues and quote the relevant comparative prices from them to give greater credibility to some of the past trends that I describe; this would take quite a bit of work, however

Sections
This article really needs to be broken up into sections so a TOC can be generated for it. It'll make the article much more accessible/useful. I'd do it, but I'm out of my element with this article. — Frecklefoot 18:07, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

What is a TOC? I'm a wiki-newbie.

 * "Table of contents" (see TOC :-) ). A recent software update autogenerates them if you use the "== ==" syntax for at least four sections.  You can see one in United States for example. Stan 19:28, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Stan- I don't think I'm sophisticated enough to add a linkable TOC.

Unnecessary Article
Perhaps this article should be rolled into a section on the Stamp Collecting article. The information seems obscure and unnecessary.

 * Oppose It's "covering" it in the sense that its title would suggest that it covers the same field, but it appears to be a made-up term (almost no Google hits, and those are almost all SEO-type gibberish pages) and the content of the article is devoid of specific information that could possibly be merged.

John Lindsay

John Vliet Lindsay (November 24, 1921 – December 19, 2000) was an American politician and lawyer. During his political career, Lindsay was a U.S. congressman, the mayor of New York City, and a candidate for U.S. president. He was also a regular guest host of Good Morning America. Lindsay served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from January 1959 to December 1965 and as mayor of New York from January 1966 to December 1973.

He switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party in 1971, and launched a brief and unsuccessful bid for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination, and later for the 1980 Democratic nomination for Senator from New York.

Early life
Lindsay was born in New York City on West End Avenue to George Nelson Lindsay and the former Florence Eleanor Vliet. He grew up in an upper-middle-class family of English and Dutch descent. Lindsay's paternal grandfather migrated to the United States in the 1880s from the Isle of Wight, and his mother was from an upper-middle-class family that had been in New York since the 1660s. His mother was a descendant of Dirck Jans van der Vliet (1612–1689) who settled in the then Dutch settlement of New Netherlands around 1659–1660 as son Henderick was born in what is now Livingston, New York. Lindsay's father was a successful lawyer and investment banker. Lindsay attended the Buckley School, St. Paul's School, and Yale, where he was admitted to the class of 1944 and joined Scroll and Key.

Military service and legal career
With the outbreak of World War II, Lindsay completed his studies early and in 1943 joined the United States Navy as a gunnery officer. He obtained the rank of lieutenant, earning five battle stars through action in the invasion of Sicily and a series of landings in the Pacific theater. After the war, he spent a few months as a ski bum and a couple of months training as a bank clerk before returning to New Haven, where he received his law degree from Yale Law School in 1948, ahead of schedule. In 1949, he began his legal career at the law firm of Webster, Sheffield, Fleischmann, Hitchcock & Chrystie.

Marriage
Back in New York City, Lindsay met his future wife, Mary Anne Harrison (1926–2004), at the wedding of Nancy Walker Bush (daughter of Connecticut's Senator Prescott Bush and sister of future President George Herbert Walker Bush and aunt of George W. Bush & Jeb Bush), where he was an usher and Harrison a bridesmaid. She was a graduate of Vassar College and a distant relative of William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. They married in 1949. That same year Lindsay was admitted to the bar, and rose to become a partner in his law firm four years later. They had three daughters and a son.

U.S. Representative

Lindsay began gravitating toward politics as one of the founders of the Youth for Eisenhower club in 1951 and as president of the New York Young Republican Club in 1952. He went on to join the United States Department of Justice in 1955 as executive assistant to Attorney General Herbert Brownell. There he worked on civil liberties cases as well as the 1957 Civil Rights Act. In 1958, with the backing of Brownell as well as Bruce Barton, John Aspinwall Roosevelt, and Edith Willkie, Lindsay won the Republican primary and went on to be elected to Congress as the representative of the "Silk Stocking" 17th district, exemplified by Manhattan's Upper East Side but also encompassing the diverse Lower East Side and historically bohemian Greenwich Village.

While in Congress, Lindsay established a liberal voting record increasingly at odds with his own party. He was an early supporter of federal aid to education and Medicare; and advocated the establishment of a federal United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and a National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities. He was called a maverick, casting the lone dissenting vote for a Republican-sponsored bill extending the power of the Postmaster General to impound obscene mail and one of only two dissenting votes for a bill allowing federal interception of mail from Communist countries. Also known for his wit, when asked by his party leaders why he opposed legislation to combat Communism and pornography, he replied that the two were the major industries of his district and if they were suppressed then "the 17th district would be a depressed area". Lindsay voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 and 1964, the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Mayor of New York City
In 1965, Lindsay was elected Mayor of New York City as a Republican with the support of the Liberal Party of New York in a three-way race. He defeated Democratic mayoral candidate Abraham D. Beame, then City Comptroller, as well as conservative thinker and National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr., who ran on the Conservative Party line. The unofficial motto of the campaign, taken from a Murray Kempton column, was "He is fresh and everyone else is tired".

Labor issues
On his first day as mayor, January 1, 1966, the Transport Workers Union of America, led by Mike Quill, shut down the city with a complete halt of subway and bus service. As New Yorkers endured the transit strike, Lindsay remarked, "I still think it's a fun city", and walked four miles (6 km) from his hotel room to City Hall in a gesture to show it. Dick Schaap, then a columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, popularized the term in an article titled "Fun City". In the article, Schaap sardonically pointed out that it was not.

In 1966, the settlement terms of the transit strike, combined with increased welfare costs and general economic decline, forced Lindsay to lobby the New York State legislature for a new municipal income tax and higher water rates for city residents, plus a new commuter tax for people who worked in the city but resided elsewhere. The transit strike was the first of many labor struggles. In 1968, in an attempt to decentralize the city's school system, Lindsay granted three local school boards in the city complete control over their schools, in an effort to allow communities to have more of a say in their schools. The city's teachers union, the United Federation of Teachers, however, saw the breakup as a way of union busting, as a decentralized school system would force the union to negotiate with 33 separate school boards rather than with one centralized body. As a result, in May 1968 several teachers working in schools located in the neighborhood of Ocean Hill-Brownsville, one of the neighborhoods where the decentralization was being tested, were fired from their jobs by the community-run school board. The UFT demanded the reinstatement of the dismissed teachers, citing that the teachers had been fired without due process. When their demands were ignored, the UFT called the first of three strikes, leading ultimately to a protracted citywide teachers' strike that stretched over a seven-month period between May and November. The strike was tinged with racial and anti-Semitic overtones, pitting Black and Puerto Rican parents against Jewish teachers and supervisors. Many thought the mayor had made a bad situation worse by taking sides against the teachers. The episode left a legacy of tensions between African-Americans and Jews that went on for years, and Lindsay called it his greatest regret.

That same year, 1968, also saw a three-day Broadway strike and a nine-day sanitation strike. Quality of life in the city reached a nadir during the sanitation strike as mounds of garbage caught fire and strong winds blew the filth through the streets. In June 1968, the New York City Police Department deployed snipers to protect Lindsay during a public ceremony, shortly after they detained a knife-wielding man who had demanded to meet the mayor. With the schools shut down, police engaged in a slowdown, firefighters threatening job actions, the city awash in garbage, and racial and religious tensions breaking to the surface, Lindsay later called the last six months of 1968 "the worst of my public life."

The summer of 1971 ushered in another devastating strike as over 8,000 workers belonging to AFSCME District Council 37 walked off their jobs for two days. The strikers included the operators of the city's drawbridges and sewage treatment plants. Drawbridges over the Harlem River were locked in the "up" position, barring automobile travel into Manhattan, and hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sewage flowed into local waterways.

Racial and civil unrest
Lindsay served on the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, known as the Kerner Commission, and was its vice chairman. This body was appointed in 1967 by President Johnson after riots in urban centers of the US, including Newark and Detroit. Lindsay maximized publicity and coverage of his activities on the commission, and while other commissioners made inconspicuous visits to riot-damaged sites, Lindsay would alert the press before his fact-finding missions. Nonetheless, he was especially influential in producing the Kerner Report; its dramatic language of the nation "moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal" was consistent with his rhetoric.

President Johnson ignored the report and rejected the Kerner Commission's recommendations. In April 1968, one month after the release of the Kerner report, rioting broke out in more than 100 cities following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. However, in New York City, Lindsay traveled directly into Harlem, telling Black residents that he regretted King's death and was working against poverty. He is credited with averting riots in the city with this direct response, even as other major cities burned. David Garth, who accompanied Lindsay that night, recalled: "There was a wall of people coming across 125th Street, going from west to east ... I thought we were dead. John raised his hands, said he was sorry. It was very quiet. My feeling was, his appearance there was very reassuring to people because it wasn't the first time they had seen him. He had gone there on a regular basis. That gave him credibility when it hit the fan."

Lindsay showed his support for New York's African American community through his administration's sponsorship of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which is documented in the 2021 music film, Summer of Soul. The host of the festival, Tony Lawrence, introduces the mayor to the Harlem crowd as "our blue-eyed soul brother."

Blizzard of 1969

On February 10, 1969, New York City was pummeled with 15 in of snow. On the first day alone, 14 people died and 68 were injured. Within a day, the mayor was criticized for giving favored treatment to Manhattan at the expense of the other boroughs. Charges were made that a city worker solicited a bribe to clean streets in Queens.

Over a week later, streets in eastern Queens still remained unplowed by the city, enraging the borough's residents, many who felt that the city's other boroughs always took a back seat to Manhattan. Lindsay traveled to Queens, but his visit was not well received. His car could not make its way through Rego Park, and even in a four-wheel-drive truck, he had trouble getting around. In Kew Gardens Hills, the mayor was booed; one woman screamed, "You should be ashamed of yourself." In Fresh Meadows, a woman told the mayor: "Get away, you bum." Later during his walk through Fresh Meadows, another woman called him "a wonderful man," prompting the mayor to respond: "And you're a wonderful woman, not like those fat Jewish broads up there," pointing to women in a nearby building who had criticized him.

The blizzard, dubbed the "Lindsay Snowstorm,” prompted a political crisis that became "legendary in the annals of municipal politics" as the scenes conveyed a message that the mayor of New York City was indifferent to the middle class and poor citizens of the city.

Reelection
In 1969, a backlash against Lindsay caused him to lose the Republican mayoral primary to state Senator John Marchi, who was enthusiastically supported by William F. Buckley and the rest of the party's conservative wing. In the Democratic primary, the most conservative candidate, City Comptroller Mario Procaccino, defeated several more liberal contenders and won the nomination with only a plurality of the votes. "The more the Mario," he quipped. Procaccino, who ran to Lindsay's right, went on to coin the term "limousine liberal" to describe Lindsay and his wealthy Manhattan backers.

Despite losing the Republican nomination, Lindsay remained on the ballot as the candidate of the New York Liberal Party. In his campaign he said "mistakes were made" and called being mayor of New York City "the second toughest job in America." Two television advertisements described his position: In one he looked directly into the camera and said, "I guessed wrong on the weather before the city's biggest snowfall last winter. And that was a mistake. But I put 6,000 more cops on the streets. And that was no mistake. The school strike went on too long and we all made some mistakes. But I brought 225,000 more jobs to this town. And that was no mistake... And we did not have a Detroit, a Watts or Newark. And those were no mistakes. The things that go wrong are what make this the second toughest job in America. But the things that go right are those things that make me want it." The second opened with a drive through the Holland Tunnel from lower Manhattan toward New Jersey and suggested that, "Every New Yorker should take this trip at least once before election day..." followed by video of Newark, New Jersey which had been devastated by race riots.

While narrowly losing Brooklyn and the Bronx due to Procaccino's entrenched support among ethnic, working class whites (with Marchi winning his native Staten Island), Lindsay was able to vanquish his opponents with support from three distinct groups. First were the city's minorities, mostly African Americans and Puerto Ricans, who were concentrated in Harlem, the South Bronx and various Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville. Second were the white and economically secure residents of certain areas of Manhattan. Third were the whites in the boroughs outside Manhattan who had a similar educational background and "cosmopolitan" attitude, namely residents of solidly middle-class neighborhoods, including Forest Hills and Kew Gardens in Queens and Brooklyn Heights in Brooklyn. This third category included many traditionally Democratic Jewish Americans who were repelled by Procaccino's conservatism. This created a plurality coalition (42%) in Lindsay's second three-way race. His margin of victory rose from just over 100,000 more votes than his Democratic opponent in 1965 to over 180,000 votes over Procaccino in 1969, despite appearing on just one third party ballot line (see New York City Mayoral Elections).

Hard-hat riots

On May 8, 1970, near the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street and at New York City Hall, a riot started when about 200 construction workers mobilized by the New York State AFL–CIO labor federation attacked about 1,000 high school and college students and others protesting the Kent State shootings, the Cambodian Campaign, and the Vietnam War. Some attorneys, bankers, and investment analysts from nearby Wall Street investment firms tried to protect many of the students but were themselves attacked, and some onlookers reported that the police stood by and did nothing. Although more than 70 people were injured, including four policemen, only six people were arrested. The following day, Lindsay severely criticized the police for their lack of action. Police Department labor leaders later accused Lindsay of "undermining the confidence of the public in its Police Department" by his statements and blamed the inaction on inadequate preparations and "inconsistent directives" in the past from the mayor's office. Several thousand construction workers, longshoremen and white-collar workers protested against the mayor on May 11 and again on May 16. Protesters called Lindsay "the red mayor," "traitor," "Commie rat," and "bum." The mayor described the mood of the city as "taut."

Police corruption
In 1970, The New York Times printed New York City Police Department Patrolman Frank Serpico's claims of widespread police corruption. As a result, the Knapp Commission was eventually formed that April by Lindsay, with investigations beginning in June, although public hearings did not start until October 18, 1971. Its preliminary report was not issued until August 1972, and final recommendations only released on December 27, 1972. Because of his forming of the Knapp Commission, many NYPD officers disliked him and didn't want him to attend their funerals in case they died on duty and heckled, hissed, jeered and booed him when he did appear. The wife of Rocco Laurie, one of two city police officers who were murdered by Black revolutionaries in 1972, specifically stated that she did not want Lindsay to attend her husband's funeral that year.

Assessments
A 1993 survey of historians, political scientists and urban experts conducted by Melvin G. Holli of the University of Illinois at Chicago ranked Lindsay as the sixteenth-worst American big-city mayor to have served between the years 1820 and 1993.

Party switch and presidential campaign
Lindsay was mentioned as a Republican Vice Presidential possibility in 1968, but was found to be unacceptable by Southern conservatives, and Spiro Agnew was nominated instead. Lindsay’s original break with the Republican Party began immediately after he failed to win the 1969 Republican mayoral primary, and his subsequent association with the New York Liberal Party for that election. In 1971, Lindsay and his wife cut ties with the Republican Party by registering with the Democratic Party. Lindsay said, "In a sense, this step recognizes the failure of 20 years in progressive Republican politics. In another sense, it represents the renewed decision to fight for new national leadership." Lindsay then launched a brief and unsuccessful bid for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination. He attracted positive media attention and was a successful fundraiser. Lindsay did well in the early Arizona caucus, coming in second place behind Edmund Muskie of Maine and ahead of eventual nominee George McGovern of South Dakota. Then in the March 14 Florida primary, he placed a weak fifth place, behind George Wallace of Alabama, Muskie, Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, and Scoop Jackson of Washington (though he did edge out McGovern). Among his difficulties was New York City's worsening problems, which Lindsay was accused of neglecting; a band of protesters from Forest Hills, Queens, who were opposed to his support for a low income housing project in their neighborhood, followed Lindsay around his aborted campaign itinerary to jeer and heckle him. His poor showing in Florida effectively doomed his candidacy. Shortly thereafter, influential Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman Meade Esposito called for Lindsay to end his campaign: "I think the handwriting is on the wall; Little Sheba better come home." After a poor showing in the April 5 Wisconsin primary, Lindsay formally abandoned the race.

Assessment

In a 1972 Gallup poll, 60% of New Yorkers felt Lindsay's administration was working poorly, nine percent rated it good, and not one person thought its performance excellent. By 1978, The New York Times called Lindsay "an exile in his own city".

Lindsay's record remained controversial after he left politics. Conservative historian Fred Siegel, calling Lindsay the worst New York City mayor of the 20th century, said "Lindsay wasn't incompetent or foolish or corrupt, but he was actively destructive". Journalist Steven Weisman observed "Lindsay's congressional career had taught him little of the need for subtle bureaucratic maneuvering, for understanding an opponent's self-interest, or for the great patience required in a sprawling government."

Lindsay's budget aide Peter C. Goldmark, Jr. told historian Vincent Cannato that the administration "failed to come to grips with what a neighborhood is. We never realized that crime is something that happens to, and in, a community." Assistant Nancy Seifer said "There was a whole world out there that nobody in City Hall knew anything about ... If you didn't live on Central Park West, you were some kind of lesser being." Many experts traced the city's mid-1970s fiscal crisis to the Lindsay years, and to the new taxes that he imposed.

An alternate assessment was made by journalist Robert McFadden who said that "By 1973, his last year in office, Mr. Lindsay had become a more seasoned, pragmatic mayor." McFadden also credited him for reducing racial tensions, leading to the prevention of riots that plagued Detroit, Los Angeles, Newark and other cities.

Legacy
Mario Cuomo, Carl McCall, and Carter F. Bales were among the many people who started their careers in public service in the Lindsay administration. Rev. Al Sharpton has said that he still remembers Lindsay having walked the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Harlem when these neighborhoods were doing poorly economically.

Lindsay also fought to transform the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board from an internal police-run department, into a public-minded agency with a citizen majority board.

Later life
After leaving office, Lindsay returned to the law, but remained in the public eye as a commentator and regular guest host for ABC's Good Morning America. In 1975, Lindsay made a surprise appearance on The Tony Awards telecast in which he, along with a troupe of celebrity male suitors in tuxedos, sang "Mame" to Angela Lansbury. He presented the award for Best Director Of A Play to John Dexter for the play Equus. Lindsay also tried his hand at acting, appearing in Otto Preminger's Rosebud; the following year his novel, The Edge, was published (Lindsay had earlier authored two non-fiction memoirs): the New York Times, in its contemporary review of the novel, said it was "as dead-serious as a $100-a-plate dinner of gray meat and frozen candidates' smiles."

Attempting a political comeback in 1980, Lindsay made a long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator from New York, and finished third. He was also active in New York City charities, serving on the board of the Association for a Better New York, and as chairman of the Lincoln Center Theater. On his death, New York Times credited Lindsay with a significant role in the rejuvenation of the theatre.

Medical bills from his Parkinson's disease, heart attacks, and stroke depleted Lindsay's finances, as did the collapse of two law firms where he worked, and he found himself without health insurance. Lindsay's eight years of service as mayor left him seven years short of qualifying for a city pension. In 1996, with support from City Council Speaker Peter Vallone, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani appointed Lindsay to two largely ceremonial posts to make him eligible for municipal health insurance coverage. He and his wife, Mary, moved to a retirement community in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, in November 1999, where he died on December 19, 2000, at the age of 79 of complications from pneumonia and Parkinson's disease.

In 2000, Yale Law School created a fellowship program named in Lindsay's honor. In 1998, a park in Brooklyn, Lindsay Triangle, was named in his honor, and in 2001, the East River Park was renamed in his memory. In December 2013, South Loop Drive in Manhattan's Central Park was renamed after Lindsay, to commemorate his support for a car-free Central Park.

He was featured on a poster picture with Governor Nelson Rockefeller at the groundbreaking of the former World Trade Center in the city history section of the Museum of the City of New York at Fifth Avenue and 103rd Street.

Bullet Records

At least five record labels with the name Bullet Records have existed.

Bullet Records, Nashville, 1946-1952
The earliest Bullet Records was a record label based in Nashville, United States, which was started in 1946 by Jim Bulleit and C.V. Hitchcock. Bulleit was an early partner in Sun Records. Its only national hits were by orchestra leader Francis Craig. The pop hit "Near You" made in early 1947 was a monster, topping the charts for seventeen weeks and having a chart run of twenty-five weeks. Craig also made the charts at #3 with "Beg Your Pardon", but no further hits were forthcoming. Despite these hits, the label was known for country music artists such as Boots Woodall's Radio Wranglers, who also recorded for Capitol Records, and Southern Gospel artists such as the Rangers Quartet and Speer Family. The label also recorded blues singer and pianist Cecil Gant. In 1949 they released B. B. King's first commercial single, "Miss Martha King". Too much money was spent in hope of repeating the success of Francis Craig's "Near You" and the label was in trouble by 1949. Jim Bulleit sold out to his share to Hitchcock in February of that year. The label limped on for a few years but was out of business by 1952.

The Bullet, Sur-Speed and Delta catalogs were purchased by Bluesland Productions in the mid-1990s.

Other Bullet record labels
Another label with the same name released In A Moment by the Intrigues, a Philadelphia R&B quartet, in 1969. The song was re-released by Yew Records and became a top-40 hit.

Another Bullet label was a short-lived subsidiary of American Bang Records. Only one album by Peabo Bryson in 1976 was ever released. Bryson's next label Capitol Records now owns the rights to the album Peabo and Bryson's unreleased Bullet material.

The fourth known label with this name was based in England in the early 1980s and released NWOBHM artists. Among known releases is the self-titled 1983 debut EP from Danish Pretty Maids. Bullet Records UK was an offshoot of Bullet Mail Order. Because of its close ties with the British heavy metal scene at that time, it seemed a logical progression to form a label to promote little-known unsigned bands. Amongst the bands on the label were Wrathchild, Pretty Maids, Black Rose [from N.E.England], Le Griffe, Crisis (from Salt Lake City, US), Silverwing, Chrome Molly and Taipan [from Australia]. Whilst many of the releases were critically acclaimed, the company suffered from a lack of experience and through various reasons, cash-flow being one, was forced to cease trading in 1984. Bullet Records is currently a Registered Trademark owned by Clark Enslin.
