“Music To Help Clean Up Stream Pollution By” This record was “created exclusively by” Union Carbide.
Wikipedia notes: Union Carbide is one of the oldest chemical and polymers companies in the United States. It became infamous in popular culture for a major industrial accident that took place in its Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India plant in 1984.”
“The Bhopal Disaster of 1984 was an industrial disaster that was caused by the accidental release of 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) from a Union Carbide India, Limited (UCIL, now known as Everready Industries India, Limited) pesticide plant majority (50.9%) owned by Union Carbide located in the heart of the city of Bhopal, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The BBC gives the death toll as nearly 3,000 people dead initially and at least 15,000 from related illnesses since, while Greenpeace cites 20,000 total deaths as a conservative estimate.
According to the Bhopal Medical Appeal, around 500,000 people were exposed to the leaking tables. Approximately 20,000, to this date, are believed to have died as a result; on average, roughly one person dies every day from the effects. Over 120,000 continue to suffer from the effects of the disaster, such as breathing difficulties, cancer, serious birth-defects, blindness, gynaecological complications and other related problems.

“Peanuts – Friends – Music” At the National Peanuts Festival in Dothan, Alabama. Check out “Little Miss Peanut”! (I was thinking it was odd that the cover features 1968’s “Alternate Queen” — maybe the winning Peanut Queen was found to have posed in the raw.) Features the anthem “Here’s to the Peanut,” a rollicking sing-a-long ode to the glorious goober!
