Spoken Intro: Joe Hill was the most famous, by far, of the many people who wrote songs for the I.W.W.: The Industrial Workers of the World. They wanted one big union, where all of Labor would be in the same union. And, uh, this song is a good example of why. It's about a strike that happened 1911/1912, where, uh, the people who repaired the trains, keeping the trains in shape for the S.P.: the Southern Pacific Railroad Conglomerate went on strike. And the engineers refused to join it.

Lyrics:

The workers on the S.P. line for strike sent out a call But Casey Jones the engineer, he wouldn’t strike at all His boiler it was leaking, and the drivers on the bum And the engines and the bearings, they were all out of plumb

Casey Jones, kept his junkpile running Casey Jones, was working double-time Casey Jones, got a wooden medal For being good and faithful on the S.P. line

The workers said to Casey, “Won’t you help us win this strike?” But Casey said, “Let me alone, you’d better take hike” Well Casey’s wheezy engine ran right off the wheezy track And Casey hit the river with an awful smack

Casey Jones, hit the river bottom Casey Jones, broke his blooming spine Casey Jones, became an Angelino He took a trip to heaven on the S.P. line

[Musical interlude]

Well Casey got up to heaven to the pearly gate He said, “I’m Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S.P. freight” “You’re just the man,” said Peter, “our musicians are on strike You can get a job a-scabbing any time you like”

Casey Jones, got a job in heaven Casey Jones, was doing mighty fine Casey Jones, went scabbing on the angels Just like he did to workers on the S.P. line

Well the angels up in Heaven, they said it wasn’t fair For Casey Jones to go around a-scabbing everywhere The angels Local number forty-three, they sure were there They promptly fired Casey down the Golden Stairs

Casey Jones, went to Hell a-flying Casey Jones, the devil said “Oh fine" "Casey Jones, get busy shoveling sulfur. It’s what you get for scabbing on the S.P. line"

[Musical coda]

Spoken: And let that be a lesson for all of us.

I don't have to point out the hypocrisy in Disney not wanting a robust public domain but one thing I want to point out is that the first Mickey Mouse story Steamboat Willie, the tune Mickey whistles is "Steamboat Bill" by the Leighton Brothers from 1911.

Which in itself is sometimes considered a parody of "The Ballad of Casey Jones" a folk song from the very early 1900s about the train conductor Casey Jones who sacrificed himself to save his passengers in the year 1900 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fascinating story and an example of embedded mnemonic where art or history is embedded in a thing, sometimes several layers down like this. I didn't know about Casey Jones until digging into the song Mickey Mouse was whistling.

Frankly i dont think its an uncommon thing and is how stories, art and history often gets passed down trough generations, be it intentionally or not. I do however think modern copyright law stands in opposition to this.

TV Guide - November 30 - December 6, 1963

George Campbell Scott (October 18, 1927 – September 22, 1999) was an American actor, director, and producer who had a celebrated career on both stage and screen. With a gruff demeanor and commanding presence, Scott became known for his portrayal of stern, but complex, authority figures.

Scott was in much demand for guest shots on TV shows, appearing in episodes of Ben Casey and Naked City. In 1962, Scott appeared as school teacher Arthur Lilly on NBC's The Virginian, in the episode "The Brazen Bell", in which he recites Oscar Wilde's poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol". That same year, he appeared in NBC's medical drama The Eleventh Hour, in the episode "I Don't Belong in a White-Painted House". He appeared opposite Laurence Olivier and Julie Harris in Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory in a 1961 television production.

In 1963 Scott starred in the hour-long television drama series East Side/West Side. He portrayed a New York City social worker, along with co-stars Cicely Tyson and Elizabeth Wilson. Scott was a major creative influence on the show, resulting in conflicts with James T. Aubrey, the head of CBS. The Emmy Award-winning program had a series of guest stars, including James Earl Jones. The portrayal of challenging urban issues made attracting advertisers difficult, not helped by the limited distribution. Not all CBS network affiliates broadcast the show, and it was canceled after one season.

During the early 1970s, Scott appeared in the made-for-television films Jane Eyre (1970) as Mr. Rochester and The Price (1971), a version of the Arthur Miller play. For the latter role, he won an Emmy Award, which he accepted. He also directed a TV version of The Andersonville Trial (1970).

Scott appeared in a television production of Beauty and the Beast (1976), with Trish Van Devere. In 1981 was cast as Fagin in the CBS made-for-TV adaptation of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist (1982). He starred in China Rose (1983) on television, and in 1984 portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge in a television adaptation of A Christmas Carol. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for the role. Scott played the title role in the made-for-television-movie Mussolini: The Untold Story (1985).

Scott reprised his role as Patton in a made-for-television sequel, The Last Days of Patton (1986). Based on the final weeks of Patton's life after being mortally injured in a car accident, it contains flashbacks of Patton's life.

On television, Scott did The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1986) and Pals (1987; with Don Ameche). He also played the lead role in the TV series Mr. President (1987–88), which ran for 24 turbulent episodes. He was also on the Johnny Carson Show in March 1987. Scott starred in the television film The Ryan White Story (1989) as Charles Vaughan, the lawyer defending Ryan White. (Wikipedia)

John Luther "Casey" Jones (March 14, 1863 – April 30, 1900) was an American railroader who was killed when his passenger train collided with a stalled freight train in Vaughan, Mississippi.

Ballad of Casey Jones

Come all you rounders for I want you to hear The story of a brave engineer Casey Jones was the rounder’s name On an eight six-wheeler boys he won his fame

Now the caller called Casey ’bout half-past four He kissed his wife at the station door He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand Said; “I’m gonna take my trip to the promised land”

Casey Jones mounted to the cabin Casey Jones with his orders in his hand Casey Jones mounted to the cabin Said;”I’m gonna take tke my trip to the promised land

Pour on the water boys shovel on the coal Stick your head out the window see the drivers roll Gonna run her ’til she leaves the rail ‘Cause I’m nine hours late with the western mail

Now Casey passed out of South Memphis on the fly Heard the firemane say ” Boy you got a white-eye “ The switchman knew by the engine’s moan That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones

Now Casey got to that certain place Old number nine stared him straight in the face He said to fireman ” Boy you better jump Cause there’s two locomotives and they’re bound to bump”

Well Mrs. Casey Jones she sat there on the bed She got the telegram that her poor husband was dead She said; “Go to bed children and hush your crying ‘Cause you got another papa on the Salt Lake line”

Cassandra Jones, formerly known as Foot Recruit, has always known the power of words. You have to say something when you yell, after all, because there's no point in being loud if you have nothing worth saying. And names are a kind of word, which is why finding the right one is so important.

It feels like slipping on a glove exactly the right size after wearing ones that don't quite fit when she announces her name to the Hamatos. Tight and constricting at first. But that is her glove and her name, and Casey Jones is nothing if not stubborn.

Also known as I went temporarily insane over Casey Jones Sr last night and wrote 1.6k words about it lol

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Part One/Part Two

This is a part two to my thoughts on season one post

The best thing about Baron Draxum is Muninn and Huginn. If they don’t return in season two…I riot!

Donnie and April’s friendship is amazing and I am so happy there are no romantic subplots in this show (I don’t know what episode that first gif is from but I liked it so if it’s from season two I have no idea)

This is the best iteration of Casey Jones in anything and I will die on that hill (I know male Casey Jone come back in the movie but I haven’t watched that yet so it doesn’t count) she is such a sassy child I love her💗💕

My favorite scenes of this season are the ‘you lied’ scene in “Turtle-dega Nights:The Ballad of Rat Man” and the dance number in “Mascot Melee” simply because it caught me throughly off guard

BTW this fucking drill better have a pay off

One Last Stop - Casey McQuiston

Daisy Jones and the Six - Taylor Jenkins Reid

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky

Little women - Louisa May Alcott

Good wives - Lousia May Alcott

The Bullet that Missed - Richard Osman

My 5 top books of the year that weren't rereads are probably The Woman in Black, Midnight Sun, The Candid Life of Meena Dave, Daisy Jones and the Six, and One Last stop.

The Woman in Black is my new favourite horror book ever. It made me feel so unsettled (my imagination is very active) and had me peeking around corners before exiting a room incase the Woman in black was waiting for me. The plot twist at the end really got me as I genuinely thought that he had broken the curse but wow. It was sick but also amazing and I couldn't read anything for a few days once I finished it because I was still hooked.

Funnily enough Midnight Sun is in my top 5. I know alot of people disliked this book because it was too similar to Twilight but I really enjoyed it. I love how we really get to see Edwards character more in depth. What I loved is how dramatic he was and how funny he was. My favourite part was when Mike was speaking to Bella and Edwards decides to be the most dramatic man ever and start thinking about how he could just kill Mike. So silly.

The Candid Life of Meena Dave is incredible. I love the characters, especially the dog! The romance in this book was so cute and I loved how Patel didn't make Meena have her whole life and story revolve around Sam after meeting him. It didn't just focus on love but also on Meena trying to find herself before even thinking about getting into a relationship. Was an amazing read that had me kicking my feet.

Now at first I didn't like Daisy Jones and the Six because of how it was written. But then I grew to love it with my whole heart. I wanted to learn how to pkay bass guitar before reading this book but after it made me get up and actually learn. I'm so glad Reid didn't glamorise or romanticise drugs because drugs quite literally almost ruined Billy's life. I loved seeing how he changed and dealt with everything. Anyway I'm so excited for the show to come out in March!

Finally, One Last Stop, arguably my favourite overall this year. THIS REALLY HAD ME KICKING MY LEGS IT WAS SO CUTE. I think I also fell in love with Jane. When I say this book had me crying I mean actually sobbing. The end had me facing so many emotions. I don't even have the words to say how much I love this book.

I reread quite a few books too. My top 5 were definitely the Worldwalker Trilogy (Trial by Fire, Firewalker and Witches Pyre), The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Little Women. These 5 books are my comfort books. Every single one of them has broken spines and damaged covers because of the amount of times I've read them. I highly HIGHLY recommend them, especially the Worldwalker trilogy and anything by Josephine Angelini. The trilogy has my ultimate book crush, Rowan Fall, too! So underrated definetly go read it!

Anyway, that is everything I have to say about this year. Its a shame I only had one book left to read but I'll achieve it next year!

My media this week (9-15 Oct 2022)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰Another Word for Forever (stardropdream) - 61K, Sheith arranged marriage AU with an additional language barrier!

😊👂‍A Taste Of Gold And Iron (Alexandra Rowland, author; Casey Jones, narrator) - very much a rollercoaster book in that the first 50% felt like a bit of a slog to the summit (and a few times I wondered if I should just cut my losses but I DID LIKE Kadou & Evemer & the worldbuilding) and then finally we started to go 'wheeeeeeeee!' and I was very much into it. So, overall: enjoyable and no regrets for sticking with it! (and while i still do feel like it should have been like 100pgs shorter, I couldn't tell you WHERE to make those cuts!)

😍👂‍A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (Monk and Robot #2) (Becky Chambers, author; Em Grosland, narrator) - love Sibling Dex, love Mosscap, love Panga, love the vibes

😍👂‍Band Sinister (KJ Charles, author; Cornell Collins, narrator) - eternally in love with this gentle little homage to/send up of gothic romances, with some of my fave quotes, such as: “If you don’t take out your beliefs for washing now and again, they’re just bad habits.”

💖💖 +118K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

brutalist masterpieces (greatunironic) - Stranger Things: Steddie, 12K - absolutely unreal the intensity of emotion and depth of character that can be expressed in 12,000 words

📺 STUFF I WATCHED 📺

The Story Of: The Legendary Song That Became The Rick Roll

Columbo - s1, e1-5

Ghosts (US) - s1, e1-14 - as a big fan of the original UK series, I was dubious, because US version of UK shows usually go terribly but this is fun and charming and it's fascinating to see where/how they're making changes from the original

2024-04-29: The Ghost of Casey Jones (Encounter)

Casey Jones was a white railroad engineer on the Illinois Central line who died in a train crash in 1900 and was immortalized in a folk ballad composed by his Black friend, Wallace Saunders. Jones was known for being extremely punctual with his arrival times and also for his peculiar way he operated the engine whistle so that everyone knew when he was coming down the tracks. On the night of the crash, Casey had to fill in after another engineer called in sick and make up 75 minutes on an overnight passenger route from Memphis, Tennessee to Canton, Mississippi. On this fateful trip, he was using the powerful Engine No. 382, which had the nickname of "Cannonball" because of how fast it could go. The crash happened near Vaughn, Mississippi, where three other trains were out on track trying to reposition. Casey Jones was the only fatality of the wreck, which would have been much worse had Jones not tried to stop the train up until the very end. All these years later, the ghost of Casey Jones is said to haunt the rails of the Illinois Central.

Ghost of Casey Jones Encounters (1d6)

A long, lilting whistle races down an empty section of track, coming from nowhere in particular, followed by a huge gust of wind strong enough to knock down anyone standing close to the tracks.

The twisted wreck of Engine No. 382 is entangled with the rear cars of another freight train. A man lies on the ground, waking up from unconsciousness after a head injury. He identifies himself as Simeon "Sim" Webb, the fireman aboard the crashed passenger train. Curiously, the train appears to be completely empty and Sim doesn't seem too bothered by the wreck. He'll stick around until sunrise, and accompany the party if they decide to investigate the wreckage, but both Sim and the train disappears at sunrise.

A train trundles down the tracks, appearing slightly translucent during the day and glowing a ghostly blue at night. The engineer waves at the party and blows the whistle in the signature style of Casey Jones.

While crossing a railroad track, the crossing signs activate and a random party member gets stuck to the track. A slow-moving engine soon appears, heading straight for the person on the track. The engineer jumps from the train and runs toward the party member, tackling them out of the way of the train before running back to the engine and yelling at the party to stay off the track.

Standing on the railroad tracks is a horrendously burned man in a train engineer's outfit clutching a broken air-brake lever from a train. He looks at the party and says "I saved 'em all in that crash. Won't be needing this any more." He tosses the broken lever on the ground and fades away.

Brakes squeal as Engine No. 382 tries to stop on an empty section of track. The train shakes and shudders with the effort, and suddenly the engine begins to crumple and catch fire as though it hit an invisible wall. The train continues to travel into the invisible wall, its cars smashing together into a crumpled heap that is only the size of single rail car. Eventually it explodes into a pile of charred shards of metal that fade out of existence within 10 minutes.
