Blackie (musician)
Michael LaCour (born April 22, 1987), known by his stage name Blackie (styled in all caps with spaces, B L A C K I E) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and musician. His experimental style combines hip hop, hardcore punk, noise, industrial and electronic. History Michael LaCour first began B-L-A-C-K-I-E as a project through assembling his own sound systems; at one time his sound system was rumored to consist of over twenty speakers and to be estimated at more than 5,000 watts, and these sound systems would propel LaCour to local recognition. Often set up on the floors of nightclubs and warehouses, his massive speaker arrangement coupled with his energetic and many times unscheduled performances caused him to become legendary in Houston. He is featured on the cover of the book ''Houston Rap Tapes: An Oral History of Bayou City Hip-Hop''. Music and style LaCour's project has been called a "one-man noise ordinance violation", and his sound has been described a ...

Blackie (American Horse)
Blackie was an American horse who became locally famous in Tiburon, California, for standing in the same spot in his pasture for 28 years. After his death, a statue of the horse was erected in a park called Blackie's Pasture. Life The recorded history of Blackie's early life is limited. According to his owners, brothers John and Anthony Connell (also called Anthony L. O’Connell in articles), Blackie, a black horse, arrived in California in 1926 or 1927, reportedly from Kansas, and was used as a cutting horse in rodeos. Some sources claim that after his rodeo career, he was acquired by the U.S. Cavalry and served in Yosemite Valley. Connell put Blackie out in what would become his "famous" pasture at the corner of Tiburon Boulevard and Trestle Glen Road around 1938. The horse soon became a familiar sight standing in his favorite spot and was reportedly fed apples and carrots by local children. In 1965, Tiburon Town Council approved plans for Tiburon Boulevard to be re-routed t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Blackie (guitar)
Blackie is the nickname given by Eric Clapton to his favorite Fender Stratocaster. Background In 1970, Clapton switched from Gibson electric guitars to Fender Stratocasters, largely due to the influences of Jimi Hendrix and Blind Faith bandmate Steve Winwood. His first Stratocaster, nicknamed " Brownie" because of its sunburst brown finish, was used on his albums ''Eric Clapton'' and ''Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs''. The same year, Clapton found the Sho-Bud guitar shop in Nashville, Tennessee. He bought six 1950s Stratocasters for two or three hundred US dollars each (roughly US$1,500-2,300 each in 2023 dollars). After giving one each to George Harrison, Pete Townshend, and Steve Winwood, he took the best parts of the remaining three (built 1956 and 1957) and Nashville luthier Ted Newman Jones assembled "Blackie", so named for its black finish. Clapton first played Blackie live 13 January 1973 at the Rainbow Concert. Clapton would play Blackie for many years on and o ...
