On this date in music history…
- 1961 – Bob Dylan made his concert debut at Carnegie Hall. 58 people attended (mostly Bob’s personal friends). Bob’s take of the box office was $20
- 1965 – Paul McCartney’s “Scrambled Eggs” (also known as “Yesterday”) hit number one on the charts
- 1969 – Abbey Road, the Beatles’ final masterpiece, was released in the UK (yes, the Beatles get more than one mention because, well, they’re the Beatles)
- 1975 – Pink Floyd’s concept album Wish You Were Here became the number one LP in America (Free cup of virtual coffee for anyone who knows what “LP” is short for)
- 1980 – Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” rather prophetically became the longest running number one hit of the band’s career
- 1988 – John Lennon’s album Imagine was released worldwide…and the rest is history
“Don’t stand so close” to that truck. “They’ll be watching you.”
Dude!
It’s not too late…to whippet good.
“There’s a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure…”
Spoon some jazz on me.
Actually, the Who are playing at a different venue that night.
The music memes are hilarious!

Nice 😊

Yaaayyyy! I won!
That cutlery band is genius! I’m amazed how artfully the creator captured such realistic poses with bent metal. Oh–it’s a bent metal band!!
;>)
Yes, the bent metal band is real art as well as funny. Tried to Like your comment but just got a momentary blank popup from WP with no change in the recorded like-s.
Ah, glitches, how we love thee…not.
Could not [Like] this either. Dunno why, but the combination of me doing the click and this blog as the one where I try to [Like] a comment is consistently hopeless.
WordPress can be very persnickety sometimes.
Like just now, for instance… when they logged me out of my account for no particular reason.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, MC, when the LIKE button didn’t work!
Yesterday…was originally titled Scrambled Eggs? Wowza. Thanks for the fab giggles and musical moments and memories, Mitch. 😎
Paul McCartney woke up with the tune in his head. He immediately started working out the arrangement on his piano, but had no idea what it was “about” yet, so he used temporary lyrics: “Scrambled eggs/Oh my baby how I love your legs/Not as much as I love scrambled eggs…”
Oh my goodness. You are a marvel, Mitch. Thanks for all of that. What a cool story AND a piece of Beatles history! Love it! 🥰😎🥰
You’ve gotta be kidding …
Love it ❤️
What roller rocking coaster.👌 Awesome events indeed. Love the cartoon. 🤣
you left off year ’67 you mentioned year ’61
got 83 people with 45 dollar bill
Tho not into rock at all, I’ve absorbed enough from being on the same planet to appreciate the images.
Growing up, my behind quickly found out that my mom was a huge Devo fan.
;>)
I’ll take that cuppa coffee now … yes, I’m old enough to remember that LP stands for ‘Long Playing’! Fun post, Mitch!!!
Thanks, Jill!

Yum! Thanks! You could do an entire post on The Beatles and not hurt my feelings.
So has anyone figured out yet how to tell a green field from a cold steel rail … ?
Pretty sure I can, James. I can also tell heaven from hell, and am pretty sure I can tell a smile from a veil too.
This is great, Mitch! Thanks for the fun today.
My pleasure, Kellye.
LP = Long Play, from the First Vinyl Era. compare with EP (Extended Play) from the CD era.
