| | |  1969 - December: Encyclopedia II - 1969 in music - EventsPerhaps the most famous musical events of 1969 are two legendary concerts. At a Rolling Stones concert in Altamont, California, a fan was stabbed to death by Hell's Angels, a biker gang that had been hired to provide security for the event. In retrospect, many commentators have concluded that the violence signalled the failure of the so-called "hippies", who espoused an ethos of free love and peace. Even more famous than the Altamont concert is Woodstock, which consisted of dozens of the most famous performers in the world at the time, playi ...

Prince George Duke of Kent - Conspiracy theories.
The Duke was killed in a plane crash on active service in World War II at Eagles Rock near Dunbeath, Caithness, Scotland on August 25, 1942. The Short Sunderland he was flying in was officially heading to Iceland where the Duke was to meet senior members of the US military.

| | | | 1969 - December: Encyclopedia II - Concorde - Possible replacement In November 2003, European aviation company EADS (the company behind Airbus) announced that it was considering working with Japanese companies to develop a larger, faster replacement for Concorde [5]. However, recent news reports suggest only $1m is being invested every year into research, much less than the $1bn needed for the development of a viable airliner.
In October 2005, JAXA, the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency, undertook aerodynamic testing of a scale model of a plane designed to carry 300 passengers at Mach 2. If pursued to commercial deployment, it would be ...

| | | | 1969 - December: Encyclopedia II - The Beatles - Influences and music As youths, the members of The Beatles were enthusiastic followers of Elvis Presley, first and foremost, and later, of British rock-and-rollers, notably Cliff Richard and The Shadows, whose stage presence and female following were often cited by the band as one of their inspirations to begin performing publicly. At the height of Beatlemania, John Lennon declared "Before Elvis, there was nothing." In comments recorded for the Anthology TV series all four band members spoke of him in glowing terms, with George Harrison (showing his knack ...

| | | | 1969 - December: Encyclopedia II - Empress Kojun - Marriage The January 1919 engagement of Princess Nagako to her distant cousin then-Crown Prince Hirohito was unusual in two respects. First, she was a princess of the imperial blood (albeit a minor one), whereas for centuries the chief consorts of Japanese emperors and crown princes had come one of the five senior branches of the Fujiwara clan (Konoe, Ichijō, Nijō, Takatsukasa, and Kujō), the most illustrious families of the court nobility or kuge. Second, although Princess Nagako's father was an offshoot of the imperial family, her mother descended from daimyo, the feudal or military aristocracy.

| | | | 1969 - December: Encyclopedia II - Badfinger - Warner Brothers Merely six weeks after the Ass sessions were completed, Badfinger entered the studio to begin recording the material for their first Warner Brothers release, Badfinger. Neither Ass nor Badfinger were well-received by music critics, but owing to Badfinger's overwork, their lackluster quality can perhaps be understood in context. Badfinger and its two accompanying singles, "Love Is Easy" and "I Miss You," also did not reach chart positions. Badfinger did manage to consolidate some U.S. fan support in 1 ...
