The 101 Number One Song of the Day was supposed to be a sad song but it didn’t turn out that way at all. The writer, who was born in Roswell, just couldn’t help himself. Henry John Deutschendorf was feeling so down when he sat down to write the song you’re about to hear that he wanted to write a “feeling –blue” song. But what came out was the kind of thing he became famous for – chronicling the positive side of existence even though, as an Air Force brat, he constantly moved from place to place and was a pretty lonely kid. For a time, he studied architecture at Texas Tech but mostly he played the guitar, which was with him constantly from the time he was eight years old. He dropped out in the middle of his junior year and dedicated the rest of his life to music. And on March 31, 1974 he owned the number one song in America. By that time he dropped his first name – Henry – and renamed himself after his favorite city – Denver, CO. Here’s John Denver (Sunshine on my shoulder)

The officer photo copier turns 50 this month. It was in March of 1960 that a company known as Xerox sold the first plain-paper copier to a business in Rochester, New York. The first copier was the size of two washing machines, weighed 650 pounds…and occasionally caught fire. So it was 50 years ago…next month….the first person photo-copied their butt!!

The Republican National Committee spent close to $2,000 last month at a topless bondage club in Hollywood. Now they’re trying to find out who was responsible for the expense report. So far, a vendor from LA admits he submitted the expense report…and an aide to the committee was apparently there with him. The committee says Republican chairman Michael Steele was not at the club and had nothing to do with it. Apparently the Republican party has the Tea Party…and the T&A Party. Which –honestly – sounds like a lot more fun.

The Postal Service has sent the official request to Congress to cut Saturday delivery – starting in early 2011. They say the move will save an estimated $3.3-billion dollars a year – and they’d like to get started as soon as possible. I don’t know…as soon as possible would be like…Saturday…

Here’s good news! Chocolate could reduce your risk of having a heart attack.

A 4:30 a.m. customer at a McDonald’s drive-through in New Jersey was so upset it was taking too long to get his Filet- O- Fish sandwich…so he slapped the worker at the window and crawled in through the window to get the sandwich himself. He then walked out the door with the sandwich…telling the employee he’d be back when the employee got off work. Police said the man never returned.
