A little bit of background before we get to the why verifiable facts are hard to come by in the Ice Ice Baby story.
Watch “Vanilla Ice: Chuck D From Public Enemy Had His Back”
In an early interview, Vanilla Ice (Robert Van Winkle) answered a question about his mother with “none of your fucking business”. His label SBK, who effected Vanilla Ice’s move from an all-black audience to all-white, promptly invented a backstory full of events that Van Winkle became famous for inventing and spent a lot of time denying.
At the end of this July 1990 video with 400 odd views, it’s announced that Vanilla Ice had just signed the infamous million-dollar SBK deal.
Watch “Vanilla Ice opened for Sinbad 27.07.1990 Dallas TX, (before To the Extreme came out)”
The claim that SBK wardrobed Van Winkle into an MC Hammer seems like more of a stretch after watching the video.
Watch “Vanilla Ice: Hip Hop's Original Industry Plant”
But, that’s a whole other day’s work. My interest lies in the song. And at around the 20-minute mark in the 400 odd views video you’ll hear Ice Ice Baby with a different chorus. To my ears:
Ice, Ice Baby. Too cold. Too cold.
Is frat boy territory.
I like the how of things. If the success of Ice Ice Baby was down to the bassline from Under Pressure and a catchy chorus, well the main question emerges- who was the bright spark who thought to put the two things together? In this video, Van Winkle mentions everything about the song- his brother’s love of Queen, the hook- but not the chorus.
Watch “Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby - Professor of Rock’s The Story Of”
Well. The chorus pretty much comes from Spike Lee’s 1989 School Daze movie
Watch “Ice Ice Baby . . . . The Black & Gold”
Only, by the time the song was released, someone had the cop to redo the delivery of the Ice Ice Babies.
So, here are the facts. Vanilla Ice was a genuine hip hop artist who paid his dues but this was forgotten. His record deal came about on the basis of an obvious hit. Ice Ice Baby was a b-side of a single getting no traction. Once it was played by DJ Darrell Jaye in Georgia it took off – long before any video showed the moves and the looks and the whiteness.
It was bigger than Van Winkle. Way bigger. It sold 160 million copies before Vanilla Ice came to be regarded as a one hit wonder. It would have launched a commercial career if Van Winkle wasn’t so dedicated to being a hip-hop artist. He released record after record regardless, including on his own labels, regardless of their success.
It appears that neither he nor the label ever stopped to work out why Ice Ice Baby was such a hit. Besides the hook it followed a Salt-N-Pepa formula that people took a while to cop on to. Rapped verses, catchy chorus.
Speaking of truths and rumours. Who wrote the legendary bassline of Under Pressure? David Bowie.
Watch “Queen vs. David Bowie | The Making of Under Pressure”
Again, returning to the how of things, here’s the song that became Under Pressure.
I find these things more interesting and could go on so better wrap up with an old joke with no truth.
Bowie: “Okay, here’s what I have so far: ‘Pressure pushing down on me. Pressing down on you.’ What have you got Freddie?”
Freddie: “Um ba ba be. Um ba ba be. De day da.”
Looks like at least one country managed to effectively beat Omicron.
Cuba's vaccine coverage and focus on children helped beat back Omicron, experts say https://t.co/Uup6ckTaIw

Given that Delta was a major problem in Cuba:
Cuba has been ravaged this summer by the Delta variant. Coronavirus cases have soared and the country’s medical system is swamped.
“The funeral homes can’t cope, the hospitals can’t cope, the clinics can’t cope,” one doctor said. https://t.co/wpCYeslW9l
— The New York Times (@nytimes) August 18, 2021
One simplistic understanding could be that maybe mRNA vaccines were more effective against Delta and the protein-based ones- Cuba produced 5- won out over Omicron.
Then again, Cuba wasn’t heavily vaccinated until after the Delta wave.
Cuba, now leading the world in vaccine doses per 100,000 people, has managed quite a turnaround from being one of the worst-hit countrieshttps://t.co/CtQtGERWps@OurWorldInData

— Treebeard ☭ (@bisexualbivalve) July 12, 2021
I don’t know if Cuba’s protein-based vaccines are better than China’s but, given China’s troubles now and notwithstanding their vaccination rates being below Cuba’s, it looks likely that the other major factor may have been the quick vaccination of children aged 2 and up before Omicron.
Cuba is now one of the most vaccinated countries - 89% of their total population has received at least one dose (including children as young as 2). A three-dose combination of their home-grown protein vaccine has 92% efficacy against symptomatic infection.https://t.co/FB9ByhGmXh

Cuba is leading the world in the fight against COVID-19, a vaccine safe enough for children as low as age 2 is a game changer
— Renair Benjamin (@RenairB) September 20, 2021
Cuba developed their own three shot vaccine and it is good down to two year old kids. They are now in the process of boosting everyone. Too bad we weren't co operating with them to get this vaccine for our little ones. Best wishes on staying safe.
— EKW (@EKWFUA22) March 15, 2022
Some text from the article referenced in the first tweet, above.
“Cuba, whose Communist rulers have long sought to stand out among developing countries by providing a free healthcare system and one that focuses on preventative treatment such as vaccinations, developed its own COVID vaccines and became the first country in the world to begin the mass vaccination of kids as young as age 2.
Health workers on the Caribbean island have since fully inoculated 1.8 million children between 2 and 18 years of age, or upwards of 96% of the total, with no serious side effects reported, according to official Cuban data.
Eduardo Martinez, president of the state-run pharmaceutical firm BioCubaFarma, said that campaign set Cuba apart in its fight against Omicron.
“Elsewhere in the world, the virus is circulating more in the pediatric population, but that is not happening in Cuba,” he said.
Cuba´s success to date against Omicron comes as a relief to authorities. A spike in cases in 2021 and economic crisis resulted in food and medicine shortages, power blackouts and the largest anti-government protests since Fidel Castro´s 1959 revolution.”

We’ll have to see what else is admissible in court and whether what we’ve seen so far is simply one side.
From a human perspective, yesterday in the defamation case was, again, toxic. From a spin perspective it’s worth examining. Seeing as it would appear at this stage that Depp may be likely to lose again
I haven’t read a whole lot of this trial. Celeb “news” rarely appeals. But I will say one thing. I’ve seen a lot quick to call Heard a liar and say that Depp doesn’t deserve to lose roles.

But, as the number of Heard’s secret recordings rises, it becomes more apparent there is little fear on Heard’s part and, worse, a performative aspect- perhaps because Heard was the person who pressed record- making aspects look like setups.

Heard’s arrest for domestic violence doesn’t look good but, the story has come out- after Heard became friendly again with first wife Tasya Van Ree years after Heard’s DV charge- that there should never have been any arrest.
Watch “Confessions Of A Domestic Abuser (Amber Heard).”
The arresting officers were, apparently, homophobic and misogynistic. But…

Yes. JD has been absolved of having anything to do with Fox’s disappearance. https://t.co/Q582gJc9Ny

And this. It’s a ten-minute watch but well-researched.
Amazing how things keep popping up about this vile person. #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser #JusticeForJohnny https://t.co/ujgAio6YoN

Events have been known for a while but never quite gone anywhere. Case resumes next week. Unless something happens. Like a mistrial.
Some significant testimony since last blog.
If I were on the jury (and I've been a jury foreman) this would be the moment Amber Heard lost.
Pledged & actual donation are 2 different things. AH wants them to be the same. 13 months passed before Johnny sued. If she has to lie about this, what else is she lying about? https://t.co/7w2k1IrvR9

With one week left in the Depp V. Heard case, it seems like those who pay particular attention to the jury have a handle on how things may be panning out.
Also, did you notice that AH acting coach said she has trouble making tears when she acting cries, and it's different from her regular crying?
Cause the jury did.

When did the jury get back into interest?
When they heard the word "perjury" repeated about a hundred times.
— Ian Runkle/Runkle of the Bailey @ YouTube (@IanRunkle) May 19, 2022
And not only that, but they got to hear that a fairly mild mannered, affable lawyer thinks Amber Heard committed perjury.
This seems like something I'd have fought to the death to keep away from the jury's ears, not make the highlight of the morning.

While the pendulum may swing back and forth over time and testimonies, this video is particularly insightful about the cross examination of Heard.

In the last blog I think we mentioned a newly-surfaced, TMZ-related clip from Heard’s deposition in 2013. It appeared in the courtroom within days
HOLY SHIT!!!! They played a video of Amber Heard’s deposition for the divorce when it slipped out of her mouth that she told TMZ about the divorce. She literally jumped and covered her mouth when she knew she had fucked up 😂 #AmberIsALiar #JusticeForJohnnyDeep #DeppVsHeard https://t.co/9H1PMpBDg9

Raising the question of whether Twitter and other social media was influencing legal angles for attack and defence.
She for sure has. They've also been watching social media because they mentioned the guitar thing , and the "couch" thing which is now a meme.

I am concerned that us internet sleuths have inadvertently helped her team. Fark

Internet sleuths and supporters find essential information for free and present winning arguments on social media that can be used by $500 an hour legal teams.
On May 27th 2016, the media were there when Amber Heard walked into court with a “bruise” on her face to get a TRO.
On May 28th 2016, the paparazzi were there when Amber Heard gleefully walked out of her lawyers office with no “bruise” on her face.
It should have ended there. pic.twitter.com/jLUryBLzGc

Other reports are cropping up that won’t make it into the court.

#JohnnyDepp & his family have spent six years under the weight of Amber Heard's lies & false accusations of abuse. Today Mr. Depp & his family were liberated by a jury, who concluded she committed defamation in malice.

$10million in Compensatory damages; $5million in Punitive Damages go to Johnny. This time, you can't "pledge" it AH, you gotta pay up 😉

Things we learned from the defamation case.
Every #DeppVsHeard story I've seen on the BBC has patently framed AH as the victim and Depp supporters as dangerous or misguided. And they are still at it today on Radio 4. This is why it was important to televise the trial. No one who watched is buying it. #JusticeForJohhnyDepp
— Chris Ryle Wright (@chrisrwright) May 31, 2022
As a general rule information, misinformation and disinformation is disseminated by mainstream media and only when we witness a case first-hand on live TV can we see that what’s being reported may not align with what we just witnessed for ourselves.
Did you not watch the trial? They proved over and over Amber lied. Amber hurt domestic abuse survivors. In fact you’re hurting domestic abuse survivors by claiming that a domestic abuse survivor standing up, defending himself, and winning in a court of law hurts other survivors.

This Reuters reporter is terrible at research. It took me less than 1 minute to find that Fairfax County first allowed cameras in its courtrooms in 1994 and did so again before the Depp v. Heard trial. You, sir, are fake news.https://t.co/NWQkNxkhRJ https://t.co/yIJHRDv78o

Before the case began I had very little awareness of LawTube or LegalTube. The name is unimportant. It’s a reference to a bunch of independent legal analysts with real courtroom experience offering their collective wisdom on YouTube during live feeds or actual courtroom reporting of what the cameras missed on Twitter during breaks.
Apparently jurors 2 and 8 are let go. That’s definitely a blow considering how expressive they were towards team JD, but there’s a solid chance for a full JD team win with jurors 1 and 9. #JohnnyDeppAmberHeard #lawtube

The first that I happened across was Emily D. Baker, a prior LA Deputy District Attorney, when she received a message from Ukraine from someone describing how much Emily’s coverage meant to them.
A quick bit regarding the jury question today!

Audiences were well-informed as to the facts and not the spin.
"so many people making money out of this trial and how they are showing things"
Yeah, mainstream media is having a hard time dealing with the fact that they can't control the narrative around Depp v Heard case coz Judge Penny decided that the whole thing would be televised.
— 💋* 🏴☠️ Truth Coming Out of Her Well (@ClNDERELABAlANA) May 31, 2022
Most seemed to be Depp supporters based on their reading of the available evidence and seeking justice. Contrary to spin they were not fans based on their love of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Get ready for the terrible media takes trying to spin this as an injustice. You know better, as I do.#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
— Ian Runkle/Runkle of the Bailey @ YouTube (@IanRunkle) June 1, 2022
In the end it was pretty amazing that the jury reached the same conclusions even without much of the evidence which could not be presented in court that pointed even more strongly towards the combined hoax Waldman was referring to.
Has the video of the Rocky and Whitney pretending to punch AH ever been released to the public?
— jodiej_2 (@jodiej_2) May 25, 2022
Last, but not least, @realamberheard, you need to rethink the UK decision. That could change. You’re now very possibly facing perjury charges in AU, UK, and, I hope, VA.
