	John L. McCrea Papers (Library of Congress) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		McCrea's service with the Naval Government of Guam (1936- 37), as executive officer of the naval station on the island and as aide for civil administration, generated correspondence with governor B. McCandlish and others about social, military, and political conditions on Guam.
		During the period 1941-43, McCrea served as aide to chief of naval operations Harold R. Stark, as naval secretary at the first meeting of the Combined Chiefs of Staff, and as naval aide to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
		Prominent in the General Correspondence are many letters from McCrea's duty aboard a variety of naval vessels, including billets as navigator of the cruiser _Astoria_ (1934-36), executive officer of the fuel oil tanker _Ramapo_ (1922) and the battleship _Pennsylvania _(1938-40), and commander of the mine sweeper _Bittern_ (1924-26) and the battleship _Iowa_ (1943-44).

	Cake (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although their music is often classified as alternative rock, Cake commonly combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, pop, jazz, rap, and country.
		Cake's music features droll lyrics rife with word play and syncopation (laconically-voiced in a rap-like style by lead vocalist/guitarist John McCrea), catchy distorted guitar riffs (courtesy, until 1998, of guitarist Greg Brown and, until 1997, bass player Victor Damiani), and a solo trumpet (played by Vince DiFiore).

	Revolutionary War Adirondack History: The murder of Jane McCrea
		Her day is full of anticipation; the glory of the summer sun shines on her radiant fl hair, and Jane is wearing the dress she plans to be married in later on that day.
		"Poor Miss Jenny McCrea, and the woman with whom she lived, were taken by the savages, led up the bill to where there was a body of British troops, and there the poor girl was shot to death in cold blood, scalped and left on the ground and the other woman not yet found.
		It thus appears, first, that Jane McCrea was accident-ally killed by the Americans, and, secondly, that the American loyalist, David Jones, did not send the Indians, much less the ferocious Wyandot Panther, whom he abhorred and dreaded, on their errand.

	John McCrea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John McCrea (born 1966 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a comic book artist best known for his collaborations with writer Garth Ennis.
		His earliest work was influenced by John Byrne and Alan Davis.
		He broke into American comics in 1993, drawing Ennis's run on DC Comics's The Demon, followed by its spin-off, Hitman, from 1996 to 2001, on which McCrea developed a versatile drawing style equally at home with goofy humour, action, and subtle characterisation.

	Cake Comfort Eagle CD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Whether it was the fact that the band has quietly sold a few million albums or whether they just felt the urge to get out and jam some new music, Cake is back with a slightly modified lineup, but their sound is still as unique and funky as ever.
		McCrea’s vocals, often subtly funny, are delivered in a deadpan manner, but his range isn’t the widest in the world.
		McCrea not only sings for the band but also plays funky riffs on the ukulele through a practice guitar amp.

	Music - April 17, 2003
		Cake is Gabe Nelson, Xan McCurdy, John McCrea and Vincent di Fiore.
		McCrea wasn’t describing a natural evolution, a course that Cake’s music has indisputably followed, but rather the kind of forced model change that resulted in 1950s and ’60s Detroit redesigning its cars every year, even if the mechanics underneath stayed the same.
		McCrea will return to California this weekend to rejoin those bandmates--longtime trumpeter Vincent di Fiore, prodigal bassist Gabe Nelson and guitarist Xan McCurdy--to play an outdoor Earth Day concert in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park sponsored by We the Planet.

	CNN.com - Cake finds 'Comfort,' sells product - August 7, 2001
		John McCrea, lead singer for the Sacramento, California, band, doesn't so much sing as speak his offbeat lyrics.
		McCrea and di Fiore recently sat down with CNN at a downtown Atlanta restaurant a few hours before they were to perform in front of more than 50,000 people massing outside at the city's Centennial Olympic Park and talked about their music, their goals and selling shoes.
		McCrea: I think that people are really into the idea of relationships being a salvation from personal growth in a way, and escape from personal growth.

		McCrea insists that moving away from Sacramento has nothing to do with the band's unexpected success, nor the usual bout of antipathy that comes from a local boy making good.
		That is not the last McCrea has to say on the topic that riles him the most, but an informal history lesson seems imperative before carrying on: Cake formed in Sacramento in 1991.
		McCrea is not really at liberty to talk about the dissension at length for two reasons: He doesn't want to say anything bad about his former bandmates and friends, and the whole ordeal is still just a touch too fresh.

	CityBeat: All Caked Up (2002-01-31)
		Cake vocalist/guitarist/creative sparkplug John McCrea acknowledges the dichotomy involved in accepting the band's initial and ongoing success.
		That left guitarist John McCrea, trumpeter/keyboardist Vince Di Fiore, and drummer Todd Roper (who himself recently departed, to be replaced by Pete McNeal for last summer's tour behind their newest album, Comfort Eagle) to shore up the band.
		Although it would be understandable if Cake had decided to shift direction to attract attention and a shiny new label contract, McCrea insists that the changes in the band's sonic fingerprint were simply a product of natural evolution and past experience.

		RockNews.com talked to McCrea about the difference between country and alternative attitudes, a few tour catastrophes -- including a fire that disrupted a show in New York in October -- and how the band's name is more about bananas than birthdays.
		John McCrea: 'Never There' is a song that I wrote about 10 years ago and, as you can tell from the song, emotionally immature.
		I wasn't able to properly connect with the opposite sex in a way which was fulfilling and perhaps that makes the song sort of a country-western song in that it's the classic misunderstanding-between-the-sexes kind of song.

		Other new songs include "Wheels" and "Take It All Away." Fans can expect Cake's trademark wit and its eclectic sound on the album which McCrea says is "more connected to traditional songwriting." "I think this album has nothing to do with the last couple years of music," he adds.

		McCrea admits, "Initially, popularity was a very startling experience.

		For their fifth album, Pressure Chief, Northern California band CAKE hunkered down in a Sacramento home studio in the summer of 2003, working with a hard-disk recording system, professing to take a pragmatic approach to making a record rather than an ideological one.
		By the time singer-songwriter John McCrea began playing around Northern California, in the 1980s, the last remnants of the Summer of Love were long gone.
		McCrea's deadpan amalgam of Jonathan Richman, David Byrne and Woody Guthrie, backed by CAKE's shambling countrified funk, took the locals by storm.

		The artwork of McCrea also needs to be given some credit because after reading it I can't think of anyone I would have liked to see in his place.
		Albeit, the violence is nowhere near that of the 'Preacher' - he had to tone it down for DC - the writing is strong and McCrea's artwork is great.

		The demoness named Byleth is sent to recruit a new infernal power to help in the hunt for Cassie Starkweather, and she and another demon arrange to meet at an out-of-the-way place in the Gossamer Desert.
		Freelancer John McCrea's participation as a guest artist on this issue will likely spark comments from many about the recent controversy and speculation over the state the publisher's finances, which is too bad, as the artist turns in some chilling artwork, the likes of which one doesn't usually see in a CrossGen book.

		Central to modern day perceptions of World War I are the poets who seemed to speak so clearly for those who are often called the "lost generation".
		Among the ranks of the poets are such famous names as Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, as well as many less well-known, including John McCrae, who wrote the often quoted In Flanders Fields in 1915.
		Now anyone interested in studying World War I poetry and literature can access a host of manuscripts, photos and other archive material and follow "virtual seminars" on the subject at a website which has been set up by Oxford University.
