Brrr…

today’s high around 42 and then it starts to get really cold!  Reports already from Organ and White Sands that snow is falling to the point of white out.  As far as accumulation is concerned we’ll see.

Music History 101: The governor of Indiana declared a rock and roll song pornographic on February 1, 1964 -- an FCC investigation prompted by the declaration said “the record was unintelligible at any speed we played it.” The  song was  “Louie, Louie” by Kingsmen.

CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home
CHORUS
Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.
CHORUS
Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
GUITAR SOLO
See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again
CHORUS
Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!

The 101 number one song of the day was recorded by a group whose manager was told repeatedly by record company executives that they just wouldn’t make it in this country. He persisted and proved them wrong. Very wrong.   They’d been selling lots of records in their own country for EMI. But their American subsidiary, Capitol Records just weren’t interested saying, “we don’t think they will do anything in this market, i.e., the U.S.” When the record that you’re about to hear was released in the U.K. it went to number one in a single week. Copies of it found their way here and news clips started circulating about their popularity back home. The record would go on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide making it the biggest selling British single of all time. And it proved the experts here completely wrong when it arrived at the top of Billboards Hot 100 on February 1, 1964 – their first of many number one American hits for the Beatles – “I Want to Hold Your Hand”

The 101 Gold Nugget of Knowledge: the African country of Malawi is thinking about making flatulence a crime. They want to find people who break wind – saying the government wants to mold responsible and disciplined citizens by punishing those who persistently foul the air.

It was a good week for men with cavities after a German dentist bought low cut dirndl dresses for herself and her nurses to distract patients.  “The sight of cleavage gets patients narcotized and distracted from the pain rather quickly,” said Dr Marie Catherine Klarkowski.

This must be break time.
