Jacobs was born on October 7, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois to Harold, a factory foreman, and Norma (Mathison) Jacobs. Jacobs attended Taft High School, during which time he played guitar and sang with a band called DDT & the Dynamiters. When he was 11, his idol was Bill Haley, but when he was fourteen it was Elvis Presley. He also cites Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis as influences.
When he was a teenager, he would imitate playing a guitar with a broomstick. He eventually convinced his parents to pay for guitar lessons. After four lessons, he quit and decided to buy a guitar book and teach himself. From this, his found a simple chord structure: C, A minor, F, G7—this would later be Those Magic Changes featured in Grease.
In 1963, he became involved with a local theatre group that included Warren Casey, The Chicago Playwrights Center (at that time it was called Hull House Playwrights Center)run by artistic director Robert Sickinger.
James Leslie 'Jimmy' Jacobs (February 18, 1930 – March 23, 1988) was an American handball player, boxing manager, Academy Award nominee and comic book and fight film collector.
Handball
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Jacobs grew up in a single-parent family in Los Angeles. He dropped out of high school before completing his education but excelled at numerous sports, including baseball, basketball, football and handball. He was credited with running 100 yards (91m) in under ten seconds, winning a skeet shooting championship and shooting rounds of golf in the low 70s. Jacobs was offered the chance to try out for the US Olympic basketball team but declined in order to focus on handball. Jacobs was drafted into the army during the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart.
In four-wall handball, Jacobs won his first American singles championship in 1955, defeating Vic Hershkowitz in the final. In total, he won six American singles championships and six doubles championships (partnering Marty Decatur). He was additionally a three time national champion in three-wall handball. Between 1955 and 1969, he won every national handball competition match he played in. In 1966, Robert H. Boyle of Sports Illustrated wrote: "Jacobs is generally hailed as the finest player of all time. Indeed, there are those who say Jacobs is the best athlete, regardless of sport, in the country." In 1970, he was recognised by the US Handball Association as the "Greatest Handball Player of the Generation."
"Mike is only 19 years old. Look up the ring records of Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano and see who they were fighting after 10 months. You won't recognize any of the names."
"You’ll never know the joy, the happiness that these guys showed today,"
"But there is a counter trend with new migration into the United States. Particularly from both Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These are people who see manufacturing as an opportunity."
"It is true that the auto market inside Michigan is shrinking. But the auto market in the United States is growing. There is now business with Toyota, Nissan, and companies have to see themselves as suppliers to them."
"The guys found that the concession and two storage buildings were broken into. There were food products dumped in the parking lot, tipped-over planters and damage to a wood railed fence and the in-line hockey field."
"The 8 percent doesn't come as too much of a surprise, ... With the auto industry lagging in general and the domestic part of the auto industry lagging in particular, Macomb takes kind of a double hit."
"The 8 percent doesn't come as too much of a surprise. With the auto industry lagging in general and the domestic part of the auto industry lagging in particular, Macomb takes kind of a double hit."
"The county's income is declining because manufacturing is declining, and manufacturing is declining ... as something we value as a nation. The Big Three are having less and less of an impact in Macomb County, and the auto industry in general has less and less of an impact on the nation's economy."
"GM needs people with the ideas, with the right skill sets, but if you are a young person or a parent of a young person, are you willing to cast your lot with the auto industry right now? That's a real challenge."
"On the one hand, this is good news for the community that it was a relatively smaller number than anticipated. Now, the question is, are these jobs only the beginning? Honestly, I was surprised. I thought the number would be in the thousands."
