Very much not the point, please forgive me, but the Hindenburg operated for over a year, crossed the Atlantic 34 times (17 round trips), including this trip to Rio de Janeiro.
I'm just on a Zeppelin kick at the moment, and was just reading about it.
(Also not the point so pls forgive me also) My German grandmother, who died at 94 last year, must have been one of the last living people to have actually seen the Hindenburg: she remembered it flying over her town in the Ruhr. People waited outside to see it.
Oh, canny marketing! 😄 I'd never seen these cards before. I'll have to find one, in memory of Grandma.
Yes, It's a memory of hers that makes me smile. She had a dramatic life and an incredible memory for the dates and details of the events in it, even decades on. It was a gift to us. I miss it.
How is playing pre-recorded music a concert??? Do words not have meaning to the WSJ? I mean, it was closer to a rave than a traditional concert, and it was clearly neither hah
