First In Flight & Blue Suede Shoes
First of all, just a quick passing thought: Has anyone aside from me noticed the phenomenal resemblance between the scandal-ridden Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich and sappy sixties singer Bobby Goldsboro?
Also, on this date, Orville Wright made the first sustained motorized aircraft flight. Well, if you call about 20 seconds a flight. But technically, it WAS thee first flight, and to this day, they still haven't located Orville's luggage.
We have plenty of stuff to talk about tomorrow, including news about the first full-face transplant performed by a recontructive surgeon 2 weeks ago in Ohio, the top reasons why people dump their dogs at shelters (you won't believe some of these), and a story out of Tampa, Florida about what has to be one of the most bizarre break-ins and robberies of all time.
Don't forget, this Friday morning in the eight o'clock hour, I'll be joined by Debra Joseph, Director of the Fredericksburg Area SPCA.
Maybe it's me.
Today is a big day in musical history. On December 17, 1955, Carl Perkins wrote "Blue Suede Shoes". What's so big about that, is the song went on to become the first song ever to reach #1 on the pop, country & western, and rhythm & blues music charts.
