LA BAMBA DAY
MIND
Stephen Colbert 1964
“Accept suffering. Learn to love loss and pain.”
*Accept suffering. Love pain. Show loss who is boss and grow as a person.
BONUS: Darius Rucker 1966
In “It Won’t Be Like This For Long,” Rucker reminds us all of the importance of perseverance and courage.
“It won’t be like this for long. One day soon we’ll look back laughing.”
*Listen to Darius Rucker music to help out with the above quotes.
BODY
Dennis Rodman 1961
He took the science and psychology and applied one of the toughest bodies to ever play the game to turn rebounding into an art.
*Rebound for a friend today. Try to not let the ball hit the floor, as your friend shoots baskets. Whether it’s a make or a miss REBOUND that ball and don’t let it hit the floor.
SOUL
Stevie Wonder 1950
To this day, faith plays strongly into Wonder’s life. You can hear it in his music, such as in the song “Have a Talk With God,” where he repeatedly sings: “When you feel your life’s too hard, just go have a talk with God.”
*Have a talk with God today. Listen to Stevie Wonder for inspiration.
MONEY
Joe Louis 1914
Louis spent money like it might rot shortly after going into his pockets.
*Money is not evil. Money is not dirty. Don’t be afraid to hold on to your money. Joe Louis had several rainy days after his boxing career was over, unfortunately he had not saved for a rainy day.

FOOD
Ritchie Valens 1941 – La Bamba Casserole
The news of the crash shocked the country. Ritchie was only 17 years old when he died. Even in his short career, Ritchie recorded numerous hits and would leave an indelible mark on music for years to come. In 1971, Don McLean penned the song “American Pie,” which immortalized the crash as “the day the music died.”
