Thanks for being a follower or listener to the shows as I try to record M-F daily, I am going to move into a weekly version starting Tuesday April, 6th 2021. Ok enough behind the curtain talk, let’s move into to today’s nonsense.
Events in history of today
1973 – After recording On the Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’, Dr. Hook finally got a group shot on the cover of Jann Wenner’s popular rock magazine. Inside, a Rolling Stone writer confirmed that members of the group (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show) bought five copies of the mag for their moms — just like in the song’s lyrics!
1987 - Hulk Hogan took 11 minutes, 43 seconds to pin Andre the Giant before 93,136 Wrestlemania III fans at the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI. The event was the biggest indoor sports/entertainment promotion ever. 2.5 million people watched on Pay-Per-View TV, as well.
