April 29 is the 119th day of the year (120th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 246 days remaining until the end of the year.
Rodney Glen King (born April 2, 1965) is best known as a victim in a police brutality case involving the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on March 3, 1991. A bystander, George Holliday, videotaped much of the incident from a distance.
The footage showed seven officers surrounding the solitary King, with several LAPD officers repeatedly striking a helpless King with their batons while the other officers stood by watching, without taking any action to stop the beating. A portion of this footage was aired by news agencies around the world, causing public outrage that increased tension between the local black community and the LAPD and increased anger over police brutality, racism and social inequalities in Los Angeles.
Four LAPD officers were later tried in a state court for the beating; three were acquitted and the jury failed to reach a verdict for the fourth. The announcement of the acquittals sparked the 1992 Los Angeles riots. A later federal trial for civil rights violations ended with two of the officers found guilty and sent to prison and the other two officers acquitted.
I'm so glad to see you
Delighted that you came
I swear you haven't changed
I called you to tell you
I'm coming home in seven days
In a word it's all arranged
I've been so lonely since I lost my mind
And my patience is wearin' thin
But I feel lucky when I think of you
And now I'll see your face again
Everything is fine, April twenty-nine
Try to be on time, April twenty-nine
I used to be fearful
Of the voice inside my head
And all the foolish things it said
Oh, tell me you'll be there
It would be just like old times
April twenty-nine
I've been so lonely since I lost my mind
And my patience is wearin' thin
But I feel lucky when I think of you
And now I'll see your face again
Everything is fine, April twenty-nine
Try to be on time, April twenty-nine
(La la la la)
Unlock the door and throw away the key
(La la la la, la la la la)
The sun is shining, we're finally free
(La la la la, la la la la)
I've been so lonely since I lost my mind
And my patience is wearin' thin
But I feel lucky when I think of you
And now I'll see your face again
Everything is fine, April twenty-nine
I'll try to be on time, April twenty-nine
Everything is fine, April twenty-nine
I'II try to be on time, April twenty-nine
Try to be on time, April twenty-nine
I'm so glad to see you..delighted that you came
I swear you haven't changed
I called you to tell you, I'm coming home in seven days

But I feel lucky when I think of you, and how I'll see your face again
