History 101: March 28th, 1979: America's worst commercial nuclear accident occurred inside at the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania.

Music History 101: March 28th, 1968: A controversial rock musical moved from off Broadway to Broadway in New York City on this date.  It was “Hair.”

The two people responsible for today’s 101 number one song of the day met in a service elevator in a rundown Philadelphia building where they had run to escape a gang fight. And the song was about something that will come as a surprise to most people.  It was written about an ex boyfriend of the girl who was dating one half of the duo who brought it to number one. He was the heir to a fast food chain. He was, according to the girl, very wealthy and very arrogant. But as the writer said, “You can’t write, ‘You’re a rich boy’ in a song, so I changed it to a girl. The writer was Darryl Hall. The song was number one on March 28^th, 1977 for Hall and Oates “Rich Girl.”
