A word about March 12
Let's remember the man behind the microphone: Rush Limbaugh! He was born on this day in 1951 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and died in February 2021. For 30-something years, Limbaugh spoke to millions of Americans every week. He was a great radio host with a flair for humor and political analysis. I don't know of a single radio host who kept his audience for 3 decades and 15 hours a week. The man was really a genius behind that microphone.
1963: It happened over there, or the day that The Beatles released “Please please me” in the UK. It was their follow up single to “Love me do” a song that just cracked the Top 20 in the British chars. In a few weeks, “Please please me” earned their first # 1 and million seller. It flopped in the US on the VJ label. The song was re-released in 1964 and did very well in the early days of Beatlemania in the US.
2003: Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees passed away on this day in 2003. He was only 53. Maurice, along with big brother Barry and twin Robin, wrote & recorded some of the best songs of our generation. “Mo” did not do a lot of lead vocals but did provide that middle voice in the group’s unique harmonies, such as in “Lonely days“.
1969: This is for those of us who remember the Jets beating the Colts in Super Bowl III. “Jets 16, Colts 7” was the final score but it was not that close at all. We remember The Joe Namath show: 17 of 28 for 206 yards. He got help from a couple of teammates: George Sauer caught eight of those passes for 133 yards and Don Snell ran for a Super Bowl record 121 yards. As I recall, the game was a consequential victory for the AFL and led to the AFC and NFC that we know today.
1981: “Dynasty” started this week in 1981 with oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) marrying his former secretary Krystle. Add to all of this his first wife Alexis and it was perfectly intriguing television, or sort of an evening “soap opera”. It became a huge popular show on ABC and lasted for most of the decade.
