the US heartland from Chicago to L.A. (California) is officially
decertified. Formerly stretching more than 2,000 miles, the giant US interstate highway system now renders the route obsolete.

27 June 1985 - AMERICA'S LEGENDARY 'MOTHER ROAD' IS NO MORE: It's too
late to get hip to timely Route 66 tips, as the once heavily travelled
highway spanning the US heartland from Chicago to L.A. (California) is officially decertified. Formerly stretching more than 2,000 miles, the
giant US interstate highway system now renders the route obsolete.

It was recognized in popular culture by both the 1946 hit song "(Get
Your Kicks on) Route 66" and the Route 66 television series, which aired
on CBS from 1960 to 1964. It was also featured in the Disney/Pixar
animated feature film franchise Cars. In John Steinbeck's novel The
Grapes of Wrath (1939), the highway symbolizes escape, loss, and the
hope of a new beginning; Steinbeck dubbed it the Mother Road. Other designations and nicknames include the Will Rogers Highway and the Main
Street of America.

US 66 was a primary route for those who migrated west, especially during
the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the
communities through which it passed. People doing business along the
route became prosperous, and they later fought to keep it alive in the
face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the more advanced controlled-access highways of the Interstate Highway System in the 1960s
and 70s.

US 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime,
but it was officially removed from the United States Highway System in
1985[2] after it was entirely replaced by segments of the Interstate
Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois,
Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona have been communally
designated a National Scenic Byway by the name "Historic Route 66",
returning the name to some maps. Several states have adopted significant bypassed sections of the former US 66 into their state road networks as
State Route 66. The corridor is also being redeveloped into U.S. Bicycle
Route 66, a part of the United States Bicycle Route System that was
developed in the 2010s.

13 July 1985 - MULTI-CONTINENT ONE-DAY CHARITY CONCERT KICKS OFF: An
estimated 1.9 billion viewers in 150 countries tune in to Live Aid, a TV charity event of enormous scope featuring an array of rock and roll
legends playing simultaneously in front of 100,000 in Philadelphia and
72,000 in London to raise money for African famine relief.

A multi-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, as well as
a music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised
by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for relief of the
1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia, a movement that started with the release
of the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in
December 1984. Billed as the "global jukebox", Live Aid was held
simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 72,000
people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 89,484
people.

Title: Chicken Drumsticks, Ethiopian-Style
Categories: Poutry, Citrus, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 7 servings

4 lb Chicken legs, thighs or
- wings
2 tb Peanut oil
Salt
Lemons or limes; to serve

MMMMM-------------------------SPICE MIX------------------------------
2 tb Sweet paprika
1 tb Hot paprika
+=OR=+
2 ts Cayenne
2 ts Garlic powder
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Onion powder
1 ts Fresh ground pepper
1 ts Ground fenugreek
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 ts Ground cardamom
1/4 ts Ground cloves

Set the oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

PREPARE THE DRUMSTICKS: Coat the drumsticks with the
peanut oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with salt.

SPICE THE CHICKEN: Mix all the spices together in a
small bowl. In a large bowl, mix half of the spice mix
with the chicken.

PLACE CHICKEN IN FOIL: Arrange the drumsticks in a
casserole dish lined with enough foil to make a package;
you will be cooking these legs covered for most of the
time.

Sprinkle more of the spice mix over the drumsticks. You
can use all of the spice mix, or stop whenever you want.
The more mix, the spicier the chicken.

Fold over the foil to seal up the drumsticks.

BAKE: Bake for 90 minutes. At 90 minutes, open up the
foil packet to let the chicken continue to cook
uncovered. Continue cooking for at least another 15
minutes, and as long as you like.

I like the meat to almost fall off the bone on my
drumsticks, so I cook uncovered for another 30 to 45
minutes.

SERVE: To serve, baste with a little of the sauce that
forms at the bottom of the pan, and use the rest to
flavor some rice or flatbread.

Squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the chicken right
before you serve it.

A green salad is a good side dish, too.

Makes: 6 to 8 servings

22 September 1985 - MUSICIANS PERFORM TO HELP FAMILY FARMERS: Inspired
by Live Aid, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young organize
Farm Aid, a concert in Champaign, IL to benefit American family farmers.
Other performers include Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Johnny Cash, and Lou
Reed.

For more than three decades, one music event has been singularly focused
on a piece of American life that holds at least part of the answer to
this crisis - family farming. For that reason, Willie Nelson's Farm Aid
may well be the nation's most important music festival right now.

"Climate change is the most important issue we face today," says Dave
Matthews, who is a member of the board - along with Nelson, John
Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Margo Price - of Farm Aid, which Nelson
launched in 1985, to help keep family farmers on their land. Since it
began, through its annual benefit concerts, Farm Aid has raised more
than $64 million to support programs that help family farmers.

Now in its 38th year, Farm Aid takes place Sept 23 at Ruoff Music Center
in Noblesville, Indiana-Mellencamp's home state - with the
organization's guiding artists joined by the Grateful Dead's Bobby Weir
& the Wolf Bros. featuring the Wolfpack, Lukas Nelson, Nathaniel
Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Allison Russell, The String Cheese Incident
and Particle Kid. Also on the bill: Clayton Anderson, The Black Opry
featuring Lori Rayne, Tylar Bryant and Kyshona, the Jim Irsay Band,
featuring Ann Wilson of Heart, Native Pride Productions and the Wisdom
Indian Dancers.
