…in August. Yikes, the One Hundred and One Golden Days of Summer are on the wane. The good news is that someone, very soon, will get to “choose a cruise.” In the meantime, keep listening for the cannonballs and win summertime fun.
History 101: 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast.
All this past weekend the Weather Channel was filled with news of Hurricane Irene which, fortunately, did not cause the extent of havoc that was forecast. Maybe people paid closer attention to the warnings and evacuation orders because of Katrina.
But those intrepid weather reporters were deployed into the teeth of the storm and sent back all sorts of images including this poor guy -
Unbeknownst to him at the time, what he and everything else around him were enveloped was whipped up raw sewage. No wonder it didn’t taste so good!
Music History 101: 1958: 15-year-old George Harrison joined John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ken Brown in the group, the Quarrymen, to perform at Liverpool’s Casbah Coffee Club. The Beatles’ final public concert would come eight years later to the day in San Francisco.
The 101 number one song of the day was sung by a man born Charles Hatcher whose first paycheck was a Sealy Posturpedic mattress – but he had to split it five ways
He was performing as part of quintet called the Future Tones. They entered a local talent contest on a TV show and won. The first prize was the mattress. Eventually he moved out on his own and onto Cleveland where he was signed to a contract by Ric Tic Records which was bought by Motown. He recorded a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong which went to number one on August 29, 1970 and although Vietnam itself was never mentioned – the time was right for the man since renamed – Edwin Starr (War)
