Country blues legend Lead Belly is credited with the earliest woke reference
The Song “Scottsboro Boys” describes what happened in 1931 when 9 Black teenagers were accused of raping two white women in Scottsboro, Arkansas.

“I made this little song about down there,” Lead Belly says. “So I advise everybody, be a little careful — best stay woke, keep their eyes open.”

Mediocre pundit forced to retire at 65.

If every football pundit worked till they were 65, he'd never have got taken on. Sorry, Mark, you're not getting a go till 2005, when Paddy Crerand turns 66.
