FEBRUARY 6

February 6, 1952.

This is the day George VI died.
At the moment of his death, his eldest daughter, Elizabeth II, acceded to the throne. Under constitutional monarchy, succession is automatic. Sovereignty transfers instantly and without interruption. The Crown moves cleanly from one life to the next.

Elizabeth was twenty-five years old and outside the United Kingdom at the time, on a Commonwealth tour in Kenya, staying at Treetops Lodge. She learned of her father’s death while abroad and returned home as Queen. Her coronation took place more than a year later, in June 1953, following an extended period of mourning. Throughout her reign, February 6 was observed privately as the anniversary of her father’s death. I find that detail incredibly telling. Duty activates immediately. Emotion takes the time it needs. The system does not flinch, even when the human inside it does.

There’s something undeniably intimate about a structure that precise. A life ends. Authority transfers. History keeps perfect time. If you enjoy competence, continuity, and systems that do exactly what they were built to do, this date has a lot going for it.

Finally figured out the song that's been ticking away in my head ever since I read the prompt! IIRC this was the first band I saw live. I was on the gates, fully gothed out at 16 or 17, and loving life. After the show the guitarist reached over the fence and gave me his guitar pick it had a piece of deck tape on it, I thought that was clever and used that pick for a long time. Did I have about 50 others and lose them every 12.6 seconds? Yes.. but I didn't lose that one. I wonder where it is now. oh yeah, Slipknot opened for them. I was not impressed by masks and drums on hydraulics, still not a fan *shrug*

Cocksparrer went from songs about fighting in the streets and hooliganism… “what’s it like to be old?” And and shouting out, “marriages and mortgages ain’t no big deal.” (Running Riot.)

Now they’re all in their mid 60s, most are grandparents, still paying off mortgages and still working for a living. I always grew up that you had to put a roof over your head and food on your table.

A working class salute to us all by a working class band.
