Well, I heard it’s November 29, ain’t it? Another day gone by, just like that. Time sure does fly when you get old. Now, let me tell you, November 29, that’s a day, alright. I reckon folks out there are searchin’ what happened on this day in history. November 29 in history, that’s the keyword. Gotta put that in there so them computers can find it, you know.
I heard some things happened on this November 29. Some big shots doin’ big things, some sad things, some things that make you think. It’s all mixed up together, like a big ol’ stew. That’s what history is like, all mixed up.
One thing, I heard, some fella named Johnson, a president, I reckon, he set up some Warren Commission thing. What’s that? I heard it was to look into that Kennedy fella gettin’ shot. Poor fella. That was a bad day, I reckon. That happened on November 29. President Lyndon B. Johnson, that’s his full name. That Warren Commission, it’s something to do with lookin’ into things, findin’ out the truth, or somethin’. November 29, a day for investigatin’.
- November 29, history, history, history.
- Kennedy, sad, sad, sad.
- Warren Commission, lookin’ into things.
And then, there’s somethin’ about them Palestinian people. November 29, solidarity, standin’ together, that’s what it means, I reckon. That’s important, standin’ together. We gotta stick together, help each other out, that’s what I always say. International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? But it’s important, I reckon. November 29, a day for standin’ together.
Now, I heard back in 1947, the big shots at the United Nations, they made some big decisions. Somethin’ about dividin’ up land, Palestine, they called it. Arabs and Jewish folks, all mixed up over there. Jerusalem, that’s a holy city, I heard. That was Resolution 181, big number, big decision. November 29, a day for big decisions, dividin’ up land. November 29, United Nations, that’s important to remember.
Long time ago, way back in 800, some king, Charlemagne, they called him, went to Rome. Somethin’ about the Pope, Leo the Third, I think. Adultery and perjury, those are big words, ain’t they? Means lyin’ and cheatin’, I reckon. November 29, a day for kings and popes and trouble. It’s always somethin’, ain’t it? November 29, a day for dealin’ with cheatin’ and lyin’.
And then there was somethin’ about a massacre, Sand Creek, they called it. Colorado, that’s where it happened. Soldiers and Indians, fightin’ and killin’. That’s a sad story, ain’t it? Colonel John Chivington, that was his name. November 29, a day for sadness, a day for rememberin’ the bad things that happened. History ain’t always pretty, that’s for sure. November 29, a day for rememberin’ the Sand Creek Massacre.
Then there is this Cardinal fella, Thomas Wolsey, worked for King Henry the Eighth. He died on November 29. Kings and queens and cardinals, they all got their stories. November 29, a day for rememberin’ folks who passed on. Famous folks, important folks, they all got their time. November 29, a day for rememberin’ Cardinal Wolsey.
November 29, it’s just another day, but it’s also a day full of history. People bein’ born, people dyin’, big decisions bein’ made. It’s all happened, and it’s all part of what makes today what it is. So, there you have it. November 29, just a day, but a day full of somethin’, that’s for sure. November 29, gotta remember that date, write it down somewhere. History, that’s what it’s all about, rememberin’ what happened before.

November 29, a day for solidarity, a day for rememberin’, a day for thinkin’ about what happened before. That’s all I got to say about that. November 29, just another day under the sun, but a day with a whole lot of history packed into it. Yep, a whole lot of history on November 29.
