Now this is from Mary.

THIS DAY IN MUSIC:
In 1971, The mass murder trial of Charles Manson was under way. Much to the dismay of The Beatles, "Helter Skelter" was played in the courtroom. Manson had reportedly scrawled "helter skelter" on a mirror at the scene of the crime.
In 1974, A nine-mile long traffic jam prevented many fans from entering the Bob Dylan concert with The Band in Miami until it was half-over.
In 1976, Promoter Bill Sargent made his first proposal to The Beatles to reunite, offering $30 million for just one concert. As we know, they refused it and all ensuing entreaties.
In 1993, Fleetwood Mac reunited to play "Don't Stop" and other hits at the first inauguration celebration for President William Jefferson Clinton.
In 1993, The Supreme Court refused to lower the amount that a judge awarded Tom Waits for unauthorized usage of a Waits sound- and look-alike in a Frito-Lay commercial. The chip company paid up to the tune of a cool $2.5 million. That's a lot of Chesterfields!
