Birthdays:
Ted Nugent is 63.
Tom Verlaine of Television is 62.
John Munson of The New Standards, Semisonic and of Twilight Hours is 49.
Today in:
1974, - Former Beatle George Harrison visited the White House at the invitation of Jack Ford, the president's son. Harrison was the first rock musician to be invited to the White House.
1976 - Just three days after its release, Paul McCartney & Wings' live triple-album Wings Over America went gold.
Birthday Highlight:
Morris Day 53 today. Coming to prominence in the 80s with his group The Time, Day entered a self-imposed retirement in the 90s but fan support and enthusiasm spurred him to come out of retirement in the 2000s. We enjoyed one of our favorite tunes from The Time this morning,"777-9311."
So I was wondering why the Nixon-Presley meeting in 1970 was not first. Is it because Elvis invited himself to the White House?
