Today is National Go for A Ride Day.

How about going for a ride on one of these?

Dogs love to go for rides.

Also, National Stop the Violence Day, when many radio and TV stations call for a one-day cease-fire on America's streets.

Why stop at just one day?

1963: U.S. President John F. Kennedy, only 46 and in the third year of his first term, was assassinated during a motorcade in Dallas.

Aboard Air Force One on the tarmack at Dallas Love Field, Judge Sarah Hughs swore in Vice President Lyndon Johnson as the nation's 36th president.

Music History 101 - 1968: The Beatles released their 29-song double album entitled "The Beatles," which became known as "The White Album."

A lot of dissention during this time among the Beatles including Ringo quitting the band and for some the songs on the album it’s Paul on drums.

The 101 number one song of the day won an Oscar for its creator but what he really wanted was the lead role in the movie for which it was written.

He was invited by MGM executives to discuss a novel they had acquired. He thought he was being interviewed to star in the movie but during their meeting he agreed to write the score for the film about a black action hero. Instead, a few weeks later he was informed that actor Richard Roundtree had been cast in the role. Although disappointed, he had already committed himself to writing the music, so he fulfilled his obligation. It would go on to win an academy award for best song but by then it had already risen to number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 where it was on November 22, 1971 – Isaac Hayes (Shaft)
