Today is I'm Not Going to Take It Anymore Day,

a day to stand up for your rights.

 

Today is Millard Fillmore Day,

marking the birth of the 13th U.S. president on Jan. 7, 1800. The Millard Fillmore Society, a group of proud under-achievers, calls its members "Fillmorons." Fillmore's birthday is often used as an occasion for parties when no other reason exists.

History 101, January 7th, 1959: The U.S. recognized Fidel Castro's new government in Cuba.

Music History 101: January 7th, 1970: Neighbors of New York land owner Max Yasgur sued him for $35,000 for property damage caused by people who attended the music Festival held on his farm. The festival was called “Woodstock.”

The 101 song of the day was written by a woman who intended to be a journalist and she thought that none other than Mick Jagger would be a great first interview. That’s not what happened but what did - became one of rock and roll’s greatest mysteries.  She met with Jagger and the two soon became good friends and once that happened she abandoned her idea of an interview because she felt she’d lost her objectivity. Before long she returned to the job she had in college – singing. And when she recorded the song you’re about to hear, Mick came by the studio to hang out and wound up doing back up vocals. By January 7^th, 1973 the record was number one in America and to this day, people speculate who it is about – Here’s your 101 number one song of the day from Carly Simon (You’re So Vain)
