NEW YORK (AP) — The Rolling Stones plan to release what
they’re calling their "ultimate live greatest hits album," with
appearances by
Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Gary Clark Jr.
and The Black Keys, early next year.

"GRRR Live!" contains songs recorded live on Dec. 15, 2012,
at Newark, New Jersey’s
Prudential Center. That night saw
guest appearances by The Black Keys ("Who Do You Love?"),
Clark and John Mayer ("Going Down"), Lady Gaga ("Gimme
Shelter"), Mick Taylor ("Midnight Rambler") and hometown
hero
Bruce Springsteen ("Tumbling Dice").

Shown on pay-per-view in 2012, the concert has not otherwise
been available to fans until now.

It also features some of the band’s greatest hits, including "It’s
Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)," "Honky Tonk Women," "Start
Me Up," "Sympathy For the Devil" and "(I Can’t Get No)
Satisfaction."

CRACKER JACK IDEA FOR A HOLIDAY SNACK

crackerjackchristmas

Cracker Jack is a brand of snack food well known for being
packaged with a
prize of trivial value inside.

The Cracker Jack name and slogan, "The More You Eat The
More You Want", were
registered in 1896. Some food
historians
consider Cracker Jack to be the first junk food.

The origin of sugar-coated popcorn with a mixture of peanuts
is unknown, but periodicals document its manufacture and
sale in North America as far back as the early 19th century.

The Freeport, Illinois Daily Journal newspaper published on
January 29, 1857, for example, contains an advertisement by
a local merchant selling sugar-coated popcorn.

The Cracker Jack brand has been owned and marketed by
Frito-Lay since 1997.


1918 Cracker Jack ad asking readers to enlist in the Navy.
Eating Cracker Jack would save valuable sugar and wheat
for the war effort .

COLLEGE THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL GAME

Wood engraving from Harper’s Weekly magazine depicts on
field action during a football match between Yale and
Princeton on Thanksgiving Day, November 1876.

On November 30, 1876, Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0, in Hoboken,
New Jersey in the first collegiate football game played on
Thanksgiving. Nearly 1,000 fans attend the game, played in cold,
rainy weather. "The friends of both colleges mustered in good
force," the New York Times reports. "Several carriages containing
ladies were on the ground, and a goodly number of Alumni were
there to cheer the contestants."

The football was oval and made of leather, the Times noted,
"similar to those used in Rugby Union rules." The game
resembled rugby more than a present-day football game.
