Today is also ‘Information Overload Day’ –
-The organizers want everyone to send 10% fewer emails. They say writing, receiving, forwarding and responding to emails accounts for 28-billion hours of lost productivity in the US every year. We thought – that’s horrible…and immediately sent it to twenty friends. We’ve got to put a stop to this!!
1944: General Douglas MacArthur made his triumphant return to the Philippines on this day two and a half years after he had proclaimed, "I shall return."
and music history 101: 1977: three members of a southern rock group were killed in the crash of their chartered plane near McComb, Mississippi. (Lynyrd Skynyrd) (Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines.)
The 101 number one song of the day came from an album which was named after roadkill which wound up on somebody’s dinner table.
The song you’re about to hear, as well as the entire album, was recorded in Jamaica where one of the members of the group explained that the title of the LP referred to a local delicacy of a run-down goat scraped from the road and boiled up as an entrée. Goat’s Head Soup is the album name and one of the single’s arrived at number one on October 20, 1973 for the Rolling Stones – “Angie.”
