The 101 number one song of the day was the result of a drunken night of revelry for the man who John Lennon called his favorite American singer.   He was a song writer whose work was recorded by The Turtles, Lulu, Rick Nelson, Blood, Sweat and Tears and many others. In fact, Three Dog Night scored a top ten hit with his song, “One.” Oddly enough, his own biggest hit recordings were written by someone else. One night, he was listening to music and throwing back a number of drinks when a particular song struck his fancy. The following day, when he sobered up, he tried to remember the song. At first he thought it was a Beatles song but eventually he realized it was something on a Badfinger album. He thought it had the potential to be a number one song and he was right. On February 22, 1972 it was atop Billboard’s Hot 100 – It’s Nilsson “Without You.”

101 Gold Nugget of Knowledge: In a recent interview on CNN, Janet Jackson talked about the extreme measures some women in Hollywood take to achieve and maintain a thin body. She says some are even eating Kleenex to stay full so they don’t feel hungry. Kimberly Dennis, M.D., Medical Director at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, a residential treatment center for eating disorders and addictions, warns about the dangers of this behavior, and says there might be deeper problems hidden below the surface. “I could call this the tissue issue, and it would sound funny, but I’m not laughing. This type of behavior can cause serious health complications,” said Dr. Dennis. Besides the physical problems associated with poor nutrition, this can cause intestinal problems, pain, bloating, and even blockage and ruptures in extreme cases.
