The Rascals were inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2010 and also reunited in 2012 for a series of shows in New York and New Jersey. The reunion continued on in 2013 with shows on Broadway.
History
Eddie Brigati (vocals), Felix Cavaliere (keyboard, vocals), Gene Cornish (guitar) and Dino Danelli (drums) started the band in Brigati and Danelli's hometown of Garfield, New Jersey. Brigati, Cavaliere, and Cornish had previously been members of Joey Dee and the Starliters. Eddie's brother, David Brigati, an original Starliter, helped arrange the vocal harmonies and sang backgrounds on many of the group's recordings (informally earning the designation as the "fifth Rascal"). When Atlantic Records signed them, they discovered that another group, Borrah Minnevitch's and Johnny Puleo's 'Harmonica Rascals', objected to their release of records under the name 'The Rascals'. To avoid conflict, manager Sid Bernstein decided to rename the group 'The Young Rascals'.
In August 2009, it was announced that Miles Kane had left The Rascals to focus on a solo career.
History
Early years
Hailing from Hoylake (The Wirral, on Merseyside) in England, the band began jamming and writing material as a three piece in September 2007.
The Rascals were immediately signed to Deltasonic Records and played their first gig supporting bands including Arctic Monkeys.
Initial releases
They released their debut EP, Out Of Dreams EP, on 9 December, 2007, which contains their first single Out of Dreams
Then, on 18 February, 2008, they released a single, called Suspicious Wit.
Rascalize
The Rascals' debut album Rascalize was released on 23 June, 2008 (first released on iTunes on 15 June, 2008). Although it was not a commercial success only peaking at #100 on the UK Albums Chart for one week the album was generally well received by critics.
Thee Rascals 13, also known as TRS, RSCS, and ATW, is a predominantly Hispanic criminal street gang based in the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Atwater Boys, who later became "Thee Rascals" were originally formed in the late 1970s by kids in Atwater for protection from two larger and older street gangs, Toonerville Rifa and The Avenues. Some were the children of a third gang Frogtown, whose fathers and families discouraged gang involvement. At first, rivalries were settled through hand-to-hand fist fighting, but, as time went on shootings became the most efficient way to deal with rival gang-members, due mainly in part to the drug trade. Even to this day rival gang members will shoot it out with one another when the time calls for it.
Mother Nature (sometimes known as Mother Earth or the Earth-Mother), is a common personification of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it ,in the form of the mother.
Western tradition history
The word "nature" comes from the Latin word, "natura," meaning birth or character (see nature (innate)). In English its first recorded use (in the sense of the entirety of the phenomena of the world) was in 1266 A.D.. "Natura", and the personification of Mother Nature, was widely popular in the Middle Ages. As a concept, seated between the properly divine and the human, it can be traced to Ancient Greece, though Earth (or "Eorthe" in the Old English period) may have been personified as a goddess. The Norse also had a goddess called Jord (or Earth).
The earliest written dated literal references to the term "Mother Earth" occur in Mycenaean Greek. Ma-ka (transliterated as ma-ga), "Mother Gaia", written in Linear B syllabic script (13th or 12th century BC). The various myths of nature goddesses such as Inanna/Ishtar (myths and hymns attested on Mesopotamian tablets as early as the 3rd millennium BC) show that the personification of the creative and nurturing sides of nature as female deities has deep roots. In Greece, the pre-Socratic philosophers had "invented" nature when they abstracted the entirety of phenomena of the world as singular: physis, and this was inherited by Aristotle. Later medieval Christian thinkers did not see nature as inclusive of everything, but thought that she had been created by God; her place lay on earth, below the unchanging heavens and moon. Nature lay somewhere in the center, with agents above her (angels), and below her (demons and hell). For the medieval mind she was only a personification, not a goddess.
"Mother Nature" is a 1972 R&B single by The Temptations. It was written by Nick Zesses and Dino Fekaris and produced by Norman Whitfield, and was the first single on their album All Directions. It was a top 30 hit on the R&B charts at number 27, but failed to make an impact on the pop charts, peaking at only number 92.
Gaea is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comicsuniverse, based on the Gaia of Greek mythology and Jörð of Norse mythology. She is a primeval Earth goddess, who has enfused her life essence into those of all Earth's living beings. She is the embodiment of the spirit of life, growth, harvest, and renewal on Earth. She is the biological mother of Thor.
Publication history
Gaea first appeared in Doctor Strange (vol. 2) #6-8 (February–June 1975), and was created by Steve Englehart and Gene Colan. Her origin was revealed in Thor Annual #10 (1982).
The character made subsequent appearances in Giant-Size Avengers #4 (June 1975), Avengers vol. 1 #187 (September 1979), Thor vol. 1 #300-301 (October–November 1980), Thor Annual #10 (1982), Thor Annual #11 (1983), Dr. Strange vol. 3 #2 (January 1989), Marvel Graphic Novel: Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth (1987), Captain America vol. 1 #337 (December 1987), Classic X-Men #20 (April 1988), Thor Annual #14 (1989), Iron Man Annual #10 (1989), Silver Surfer Annual #2 (1989), Fantastic Four Annual #22 (1989), Uncanny X-Men Annual #13 (1989), Uncanny X-Men #262 (June 1990), Quasar #24-25 (August–September 1991), Defenders vol. 2 #1-10 (March–October 2001), Thunderbolts vol. 1 #55 (November 2001), Defenders vol. 2 #11-12 (January -February 2002),
