    On January 30, 2004, Alex Trebek escaped major injury after falling asleep behind the wheel of his pickup truck while driving alone on a rural road in the Central Coast town of Templeton, California. The truck sideswiped a string of mailboxes, flew 45 feet over an embankment, and came to rest against a utility pole in a ditch. Trebek was not cited for the accident and returned to work taping Jeopardy the following Tuesday.

    Guantanamerab, 21From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediab, 21b, 21For the 1995 movie, see Guantanamera (film). For the Cuban cigar brand, see Guantanamera (cigar brand).b, 21"Guantanamera" ("girl from Guant??namo") is perhaps the best known Cuban song and that country's most noted patriotic song.b, 21 b, 21The music for the song is regularly attributed to Jos?? Fern??ndez Diaz, known as Josel??to Fern??ndez [1], who claimed to have written it at various dates (consensus puts 1929 as its year of origin), and who used it regularly in one of his radio programs. Some researchers claim that the song's structure actually came from Wilson, could be credited as a co-composer. Garc??a's heirs took the matter to court decades later; Cuba's Supreme Court credited Fern??ndez as the sole composer of the music in 1993. Regardless of either claim, Fern??ndez can be safely claimed as being the first public promoter of the song, through his radio programs.b, 21b, 21The original lyrics to the song, as written by Jos?? Fern??ndez, relate to a particular woman from Guant??namo, with whom he had a romantic relationship, and who ??? if the lyrics are to be believed ??? eventually left him. The alleged real story behind these lyrics (or at least one of many versions of the song's origin that Fern??ndez suggested during his lifetime) is that she did not have a romantic interest in him, but merely a platonic one. If the details are to be believed, she had brought him a steak sandwich one day as a present to the radio station he worked at, he stared at some other woman (and made a pass at her) while eating the sandwich, and his friend yanked it out of his hands in disgust, cursed him and left. He never saw her again. These words are rarely sung today.b, 21The history behind the chorus and its lyrics ("Guantanamera ??? / Guajira Guantanamera ???") is quite similar to this one: Garc??a was at a street corner with a group of friends, and made a courteous pass (a "piropo", in Spanish) to a woman (who also happened to be from Guant??namo) who walked by the group, and answered back rather harshly, offended by the pass. Stunned, he could not take his mind off her reaction while his friends made fun of him; later that day, sitting at a piano his friends next to him, he wrote the song's main refrain.b, 21b, 21Given the song's musical structure, which fits A-B-A-B (sometimes A-B-B-A) octosyllabic verses, the Guantanamera lent itself from the beginning to impromptu verses, improvised on the spot, similar to what happens with the Mexican folk classic, La Bamba. Fern??ndez's first use of the song was precisely this; he would comment on daily events on his radio program by adapting them to the song's melody, and then using the song as a show closer. Through this use, the Guantanamera became a popular vehicle for romantic, patriotic, humorous, or social commentary lyrics, in Cuba and elsewhere in the Spanish speaking world.b, 21b, 21The better known "official" lyrics are based on the first stanza of the first poem of the collection "Versos Sencillos" (Simple Verses) by Cuban nationalist poet and independence hero Jos?? Mart??, as adapted by Juli??n Orb??n. Word has it that Orb??n considered Mart??'s poems as fitting, and thus dignifying, to such a popular song. Given Mart??'s significance to the Cuban people, the use of his poem in the song virtually elevated it to unofficial anthem status in the country.b, 21b, 21In the original lyrics, the author referred to a "guajira guantanamera" (a peasant girl from Guant??namo), but since the song itself is structured as a guajira (the Cuban rhythm, named after Cuban peasants), some people (erroneously) think that the chorus refers to the song' itself (or, rather, its rhythmic structure), and not to an individual. In other words, the words are interpreted as an introduction to a "guajira, Guant??namo-style". This has essentially guaranteed that the chorus' lyrics still be used to this day, as evidenced by their use along with the (seemingly) unrelated Mart?? verses.[citation needed]
