International Bad Hair Day

Every day is bad hair day for some of us…

It’s also St. Nicholas Day -

In many European countries, St. Nicholas brings fruit, cakes, and gifts to all good little children. The name "Santa Claus" evolved from St. Nicholas via a Dutch dialect form of the name, Sinte Klaas or Sinterklaas. The first church in what would become New York City, built by the Dutch in 1624, was named for Sinterklaas.

It can also be called Bad Driving Day

virtually every major road was closed today, at least for a time.

1924 The U.S. Border Patrol was organized.

1988 In the midst of a comeback which introduced a whole new generation to his remarkable voice, this man suddenly died of a heart attack at age of 52. It was Roy Orbison.

The 101 number one song of the day has the distinction of having the most ancient lyrics of the rock era. They go all the way back to the Old Testament.

The song was written by the legendary Pete Seeger who adapted the words from the Book of Ecclesiastes. It was recorded by a group that consisted of Jim McGuinn who would later change his first name to Roger and David Crosby who would later quit the group because he couldn’t get along with McGuinn. And the making of this record was not an easy process: it took more than 50 takes to produce the track that was released as the single. But once it hit the airwaves it steadily rose to number one where it stayed for three weeks. It was number one on December 6, 1965 for the Byrds (Turn, Turn, Turn)
