It is also International Beer Day.

Speaking of beer…Budweiser is redesigning their can graphics in an effort to improve slowing sales. The new can comes out by the end of the month and highlights the brand’s traditional bowtie logo.

-You could tell their sales were slumping…last month they laid off three Clydesdales.

These are the three…(get it?  They’re on the beach.)

And of course, Day 2 of National Underwear Day.

This guy celebrates it everyday!

History 101: 1864: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" was the order given by Commander David Farragut in the Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama, 147 years ago tonight.

Music History 101: 1957: "American Bandstand," hosted by Dick Clark, made its network TV debut on ABC. The first record played was Buddy Holly’s "That’ll Be the Day."

The 101 number one song of the Day was so convincing, it was widely assumed that it was the writer/singer’s life story. It wasn’t – and he’s eternally grateful it’s not.

None of the situations, he said, happened to him. For one thing he was never stood up at a church because he never came close to getting married. Nor did he cry at his father’s funeral and his mother was very much alive at the time. It wasn’t what you call a happy song but he was certainly glad that on August 5, 1972 it was the number one song in America for Gilbert O’Sullivan (Along Again – Naturally)

Listen for the replay and win!
