2003 - The largest concert in Canadian history took place, when The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Rush, The Guess Who, Justin Timberlake, The Flaming Lips, Sass Jordan and The Isley Brothers played a benefit concert in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to prove that the city is safe from SARS. 450,000 spectators attended.

Kate Bush is 51 today, born on this date in 1958. Her achievements include her 1978 British No.1 single "Wuthering Heights" plus over 20 other UK Top singles. Her 1985 UK No.1 album 'Hounds Of Love' spent 52 weeks on the chart. I played one of my favorite Kate tunes this morning, "Running Up That Hill."
