It’s National Be Heard Day
History 101: March 7th, 1949: Birth of the Burbs: the first tract-house subdivision started going up on this date in 1949 on a former potato field at Long Island, New York. – it was called Levittown.
Music History 101: March 7, 1955: For the first time in history a country & western artist made the Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart. It was Carl Perkins with "Blue Suede Shoes."
The 101 number one song of the day came from a group with a long and storied history. But now their longtime lead singer and creative force was gone and they need a whole new direction. They began by writing their own material and added an array of new musical effects, including water drums and synthesizers on their new album. When listened to in sequence, the songs told the story of a country girl named Charlotte who seeks fame and fortune in LA. When her boyfriend follows her there, he becomes the star. The song that was number one on March 7, 1976 is titled with his ironic description of himself after becoming a celebrity. The group name: the Miracles (without Smokey Robinson) with “Love Machine Pt 1”
Heart Health News:
A new German study finds staring at women’s breasts can increase your heart health. Men were separated into two groups…one group discouraged from looking at women – while the other group was encouraged to stare all they wanted. After five years, the men that stared at breasts had a significantly lower incidence of heart disease. To get the maximum benefit, the researchers suggest staring at women’s chests for at least ten minutes a day.
Gentlemen:
- or you can tell your wife you’re going to Bourbon Street tomorrow night…for your health.
Don’t forget Rajun Cajun tomorrow!
