Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse (Lakota: Tȟašúŋke Witkó in Standard Lakota Orthography,IPA:tχaʃʊ̃kɛ witkɔ), literally "His-Horse-Is-Crazy"; c. 1840 – September 5, 1877) was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota. He took up arms against the United States Federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people, including leading a war party to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876.

Four months after surrendering to U.S. troops under General Crook in May 1877, Crazy Horse was fatally wounded by a military guard, using his bayonet, while allegedly resisting imprisonment at Camp Robinson in present-day Nebraska. He ranks among the most notable and iconic of Native American tribal members and was honored by the U.S. Postal Service in 1982 with a 13¢ Great Americans series postage stamp.

Early life

Sources differ on the precise year of Crazy Horse's birth, but they agree he was born between 1840 and 1845. According to a close friend, he and Crazy Horse "were both born in the same year at the same season of the year", which census records and other interviews place at about 1845.Encouraging Bear, an Oglala medicine man and spiritual adviser to the Oglala war leader, reported that Crazy Horse was born "in the year in which the band to which he belonged, the Oglala, stole One Hundred Horses, and in the fall of the year", a reference to the annual Lakota calendar or winter count. Among the Oglala winter counts, the stealing of 100 horses is noted by Cloud Shield, and possibly by American Horse and Red Horse owner, as equivalent to the year 1840–41. Oral history accounts from relatives on the Cheyenne River Reservation place his birth in the spring of 1840. On the evening of his son's death, the elder Crazy Horse told Lieutenant H. R. Lemly that his son "would soon have been thirty-seven, having been born on the South Cheyenne river in the fall of 1840".

  • Crazy Horse (band)

    Crazy Horse is an American rock band best known for their association with Neil Young. Beginning in 1969 and continuing to the present day, they have been co-credited on a number of Young's albums, with 11 studio albums and numerous live albums being billed as by "Neil Young and Crazy Horse". They have also released six studio albums of their own, issued between 1971 and 2009.

    Billy Talbot (bass) and Ralph Molina (drums) have been the only consistent members of the band. On four of Crazy Horse's studio albums, Talbot and Molina serve as the rhythm section to an entirely different group of musicians.

    History

    Early years

    The band's origins date to 1963 and the Los Angeles-based a cappella doo-wop group Danny & The Memories, which consisted of main singer Danny Whitten and supporting vocalists Lou Bisbal (soon to be replaced by Bengiamino Rocco), Billy Talbot, and Ralph Molina. The latter two would become the only members of Crazy Horse present in every incarnation of the band.

    Cinnamon Girl

    "Cinnamon Girl" is a song by Neil Young. It debuted on the 1969 album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, which was also Young's first album with backing band Crazy Horse. Released as a single the following year, it reached #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970.

    Performance notes

    Like two other songs from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Down by the River," Young wrote "Cinnamon Girl" while he was suffering from the flu with a high fever at his home in Topanga, California.

    This song displays the very prominent role played by Danny Whitten in the sound of Young's early recordings. The vocals are a duet, with Whitten singing the high harmony against Young's low harmony. (The 45 rpm single mix of the song, in addition to being in mono and cutting off the guitar outro, features Whitten's vocal more prominently than the album version.) Young performed the song on his then-recently acquired Gibson Les Paul, "Old Black".

    The song was written in double-drop D tuning (DADGBD). This tuning is used in several of his most famous songs, such as "The Loner", "The Old Laughing Lady", "When You Dance I Can Really Love", "Ohio", and "Cortez the Killer". The music features a prominent descending bass guitar line. The song's "one note guitar solo", consisting largely of a repeating, sharply played jangling D note, has often been singled out for praise.

    Cinnamon Girl (Prince song)

    "Cinnamon Girl" is a song by Prince, from his 2004 album Musicology. Besides the title, there is no connection to the song of the same name by Neil Young.

    The single has been released in several formats. On September 6, 2004, the European CD-single was released with four tracks: "Cinnamon Girl" (Album version), "Dear Mr. Man" (live at Webster Hall) "United States of Division" (which had been available only as a download) and an MPEG video of the "Dear Mr. Man" performance. Two weeks later, a similar single was released, but without the video. In November of the same year, Prince's NPG Music Club online retail store sold an Enhanced CD including the audio track, its music video, the lyrics and a five-minute segment of interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

    Despite not charting in the US, the single nearly cracked the Top 40 of the UK, reaching #43.

  • Crazy Horse (Beirut)

    The Crazy Horse, named after the Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse, is a notable cabaret on the Rue de Phénicie in Beirut, Lebanon. It was an infamous nightclub during the 1960s and 1970s when it was both a bar and a brothel, and considered the most outrageous of Beirut’s bawdy nightlife establishments. The venue, which was also known for its revues, was large, accommodating hundreds of tables, and the high ceiling was decorated with crystal chandeliers. Members of Lebanese and European high society, the rich and glitzy, along with politicians, spies, Arab sheikhs, and tourists mingled with the hostesses, dancers and prostitutes, making The Crazy Horse the highpoint of Beirut’s club scene by 1974. According to Adam Robinson, the author of Bin Laden: behind the mask of the terrorist, Osama Bin Laden frequented the cabaret when he was a student at Brummana High School in Lebanon.

    Paradiso Girls

    Paradiso Girls were a girl group created by Robin Antin, and were a European spin-off of Antin's other girl group The Pussycat Dolls. The members come from a number of countries: Chelsea Korka from the United States, Aria Crescendo from France, Lauren Bennett and Kelly Beckett from the United Kingdom and Shar Mae Amor from the Philippines. They were signed to Interscope Records. Their debut single "Patron Tequila" featuring Lil’ Jon and Eve was released on May 12, 2009 and reached position 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. Band broke up in 2010, after they cancelled their debut album.

    History

    2007–08: Formation

    Jimmy Iovine, owner of Interscope Records, decided to create a new girl group after meeting French singer and former Star Academy yoga teacher Aria Crescendo. Together with Robin Antin, Martin Kierszenbaum and will.i.am, he auditioned over 500 girls in London, some of which had been noticed during The X Factor UK auditions, casting six of them including singer Lauren Bennett, singer/dancer Kelly Beckett, as well as rapper/singer, Shar Mae Amor. Each girl represented a different country and the group had no lead singer, unlike The Pussycat Dolls. The group, cut down to a quartet was then featured in a remix of "I Got It from My Mama" by will.i.am.

    Crazy Horse

    by: Pinhead Gunpowder

    This girl at another table
    Started singing "Danny Boy"
    And staring at me, with a mischeivous grin
    Drawing me in with her eyes
    And then she held me there with her lips
    Everbody in the cafe laughed
    Dazed, I walked back to my table and recieved
    Some very disturbing news
    "Good job, dude," Anadi said
    " You just kissed crazy horse's girlfriend."
    Now I'm in deep shit,
    I said to myself
    Thats the worst news I've ever heard
    I had a bag over my head already
    Bleachimg my hair
    But I pulled it down
    A little lower
    Crazy Horseis the meanest of the mean
    The leader of he lowest of the low
    The St Paul skins
    With a bullet hole tatoo
    On his shaved head
    And I just kissed Crazy Horse's girlfriend
    Anadi grabbed a napkin
    She drew a diagram
    With red lipstick
    This is how you'll look
    When he gets through
    You should have never came here in the first place
    Now the boot boys
    Arw gonna rearrange your face
    "I tried to warn you, she said. "But now you're going back
