On this night in 1952, US vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon went before the American public on network television to deny that he had accepted illegal campaign gifts, including a dog named "Checkers."

And in music history: On this day in 1969, rumors began circulating that this famous rock and roll star had been killed in an auto accident. It was Paul McCartney…The “Paul is Dead” rumor begins with a story in an Illinois newspaper that carries the headline: “Clues Hint At Beatle Death.”

One of the big “clues” was the Abbey Road album cover -

Paul was the only Beatle without shoes and that supposedly indicated he had been buried and the left handed McCartney was carrying a cigarette in his right hand.   Yeah pretty flimsy, huh?

BTW, speaking of the Fab Four - The contract for a 1965 Beatles concert in which they refused to perform if the audience is segregated has sold for more than $23,000. The Nate D. Sanders auction house outside Los Angeles says the contract was sold to an unnamed online bidder on Tuesday. The contract was expected to sell for $3,000 to $5,000. The document is for the 1965 Beatles concert at San Francisco’s Cow Palace. Besides demanding the audience be integrated, it demands 150 police officers provide security.

And as long as we’re talking San Francisco -

Organizers of a San Francisco “nude-in” said the naked gathering is expected to draw a number of nudists to the corner of Castro and 17th streets. The organizers said the naked people will gather at the location, dubbed the Buff Stop, at about noon tomorrow to celebrate the coming of Sunday’s Folsom Street Fair, which stretches across 13 blocks of the city and celebrates nudity and leather fetish wear. George Davis, 65, who unsuccessfully challenged Mayor Gavin Newsom in the 2007 election, said the nude-in is about drawing attention to the fact that public nudity is legal in the city. “You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t know it’s OK to be nude; it’s not illegal,” he said. “It’s just conveying a message that nude is not lewd, that you have a right to be nude. That’s about it.”

 

The 101 number one song of the day was recorded by a group so new -it didn’t have a name. So one of the members suggested they have a contest.  The contest never came off but the suggestion itself got them the name you know them by.   They were working at a Memphis studio recording the song you’re about to hear. If it was going to be released, they had to call themselves something so during a break, according to songwriter Wayne Carson Thompson, somebody piped up with the comment, “Well, let’s have a contest and everybody can send in fifty cents and – a box top” On September 23^rd, 1967 (The Letter) was number one in America.
