Sunday was Easter, when, according to a long-standing tradition, people all over the world become incensed by cartoons on a search bar.

“Google snubbed Easter with no doodle for 18th year in a row, Christians say,” Fox News reported, citing an Infowars editor and actor James Woods as two Christians.

Sure enough, both men were upset that the holy day had not been marked with a visual pun on Google’s homepage — a Google Doodle.

“They loathe Christians,” Woods surmised, and he seemed to speak for many.

As Fox noted, Google says it does not make doodles for religious holidays anymore. The last time an Easter egg graced its homepage was in 2000 — near the beginning of the company’s doodling tradition and its users’ tradition of taking offense at the cartoons no matter what they do or don’t depict.

Provocation: A doodle of Earth

Google Doodles started as an obscure joke, as Slate recounted. The company’s founders first tweaked the logo to let users know they were at the 1998 Burning Man festival. Three years later, Google changed the double Os in its logo to two globes, for Earth Day 2001.

Provocation: A doodle of a poppy

By choosing certain holidays as doodle-worthy, even ones as bland as Earth Day, Google was by implication snubbing others. “In the eight years of their existence, they’ve never mentioned Christ,” radio host James Edwards complained in the mid-2000s, noting a complete absence of Christmas doodles, to say nothing of Easter.

But these holidays could at least be rejected on secular grounds; Google claimed not to honor any explicitly religious festival. It couldn’t do the same with patriotic events.

“For the 8th year in a row, Google has made no effort to commemorate any holiday honoring U.S. veterans or war dead,” WorldNetDaily.com wrote in 2006. “No tributes to Veterans Day or Memorial Day.”

Faced with a flood of upset users, Google claimed that those holidays were too reverent for the jokey nature of a doodle. But WorldNetDaily was suspicious, noting that Google had added poppies to its logo just a few days earlier — to mark “the Canadian version of the U.S. Veterans Day,” also known as Remembrance Day.

Not sure whether I’m more disappointed that the poppy is red or that isn’t incorporated in a Google doodle (with a link). pic.twitter.com/j2CfcvrbPt

Provocation: A doodle of a fossil

If a Soviet satellite was too polarizing, maybe the world could rally around a 50-million-year-old fossil? Surely the lemur-like Darwinius masillae had no objectionable politics.

Naturally, the fossil’s 2009 doodle offended creationists. “Not everyone is jumping on the monkey-man bandwagon,” WorldNetDaily wrote, after asking Google whether the newly discovered fossil had proved the theory of evolution.

This later doodle also caused some issues, for similar reasons:

Provocation: A doodle of President John F. Kennedy

Google released a portrait of JFK on its homepage in 2011, on the 50th anniversary of his inauguration.

Upon seeing this, a National Review writer preemptively worried that President Ronald Reagan wouldn’t get a doodle on his 100th birthday the next month.

Reagan, in fact, did not get a doodle (though Kennedy didn’t get one on his 100th birthday, either).

…

Provocation: “Not Jesus.”

If Google’s two-decade moratorium on Easter doodles infuriated some, you can imagine the reaction in 2013, when the holiday happened to fall on the birthday of labor organizer Cesar Chavez, who got a doodle.

Fox News summed up the backlash: “On Easter Sunday, Google Honors Cesar Chavez, Not Jesus.”

…

Provocation: Non-white veterans

The Veterans Day conundrum may just be a no-win situation for Google. With the Islamic crescent controversy long behind it, the company made a doodle in 2015 of various veterans smiling and waving.

But as RT.com notes, the veterans weren’t white enough for some.

Well, they told me to come on over

I made my way to New York

And they tried to have me deported

Stop me from getting work

Blacklisted me all over

They were vicious and they were mean

They were big time operators

Baby, on the music business scene

Oh, they looked like politicians

But underneath they were thugs

And they spread malicious rumors

Threatened to have me busted for drugs

They had nothing on me

Oh man, I was really clean

But they were big time operators

On the music business scene

They put a bug in my apartment

To listen in on my calls

I was looking for some motivation

I couldn't find any, any motivation at all

They were very desperate people

Ridin' in long black limousines

But they were big time operators

On the music business scene

They were glorified by the media

They were heroes who had names

They said that they would bury me

If I didn't play their game

They said I didn't know the score

And that I was young and green

They were big time operators

On the music business scene

Tried to hold me to a phony contract

I said, I didn't agree

Had to get out of their clutches

Had to go underground, you see

Now I'm livin' in another country

But I know exactly just where I've been

Stay away from big time operators

Baby, on the music business scene

Well, baby, big time operators

On the music business scene

Oh baby, big time operators

On the music business scene

Well, full of names and places

Baby, you know who I mean

Toni Brown and Terry Garthwaite, Midnight Blues

>7,176 views | Dec 26, 2010 | 6 Comments

Joy of Cooking were one of the earliest [some say THE earliest] female-led rock bands. Formed in Berkeley in 1967 by pianist and main songwriter Toni Brown, along with folk-singing guitarist Terry Garthwaite (also known as Ruby Green), their music was an ear-catching polyrhythmic amalgam of folk, rock, jazz, blues and gospel elements driven by the duo's interweaving vocal verve atop a freewheeling, innovative three-man rhythms section. The rest of the band consisted of bass guitarist David Garthwaite (Terry's brother), drummer Fritz Kasten and percussion player Ron Wilson. Keyboard player Stevie Roseman replaced Toni Brown for a time and bass players Happy Smith and eventually Jeff Neighbor replaced David Garthwaite on bass guitar. The music was a mix of "hippy"(sic) sensibility on blues and folk roots, and the lyrics often reflected feminist or environmental themes.

Joy of Cooking recorded three albums with Capitol Records. Brown and Garthwaite had solo careers afterwards and also released albums as a duo, mostly notably "Cross Country," "Midnight Blues" is, to our ears, one of the standout cuts from that fine album recorded in Nashville.

The San Francisco Chronicle's Jon Carroll described The Joy of Cooking as "a remarkable rock and roll band, half ballads and half boogie, with a driving rhythm section fronted by two swell women, Toni Brown (a smart, crafty songwriter who could evoke sentiment without sentimentality) and Terry Garthwaite (who sings like an angel with dirty wings.)"

Rather unusually (especially for the time) the members of the band were all over thirty when they cut their first record. According to some, it is for this reason that they and Frank Sinatra veteran John Palladino to produce their first record.

If you like this cut (and if you don't you've got a hole in your soul), you should check out our posting of the Joy's finest studio outing (in our opinion), "Sometimes Like A River (Loving You), one of the most beautiful love songs ever written, in our humble opinion.

Thanks for falling by.

i lived in the bay area for a little over 6 years and terri garthwaite was my music teacher for 2 years and i got to work with both terri and toni in terri's recording studio in her home in san geronimo and i got to meet the other joy of cooking members during reunion shows and got to help set up the music equipment. very interesting time for me musically and terri was one of my very fave music teachers and she made learning fun and almost became like a 2nd mom for me. i miss her. will never forget my years of being able to work with such a talent when i was a teen from age 16 to 18 and terri and toni were 2 of the most sweetest and talented people i ever encountered and to this very day,even at 43(soon to be 44)-they both are still very much mentors for me and still depend on my music and my training for alot of things and it just always takes me back to my years with terri and how exciting it was and how special too it was. will always have a very special place for her in my heart and in my memories.

This is the "lost duo" between The McGarrigle Sisters and the Roches. Brilliant and beautiful. Joy of Cooking was a great band that never got its due. It's good some of us remember.
