1958: At 6:35 in the morning, Elvis Presley reports to the offices of Memphis' Local Draft Board 86, accompanied by his parents and longtime friend Lamar Fike, then is bused with twelve other new recruits to Kennedy Veterans Memorial Hospital. There, he is inducted into the US Army, a Private with serial number 53 310 761. Dozens of photographers and reporters attend. He will serve two years, and get paid $78 a month.
I remember another small factoid from Elvis's induction. At one point he was placed "in charge" of the other recruits when the army guy leading them had to go off for a couple of minutes. (Funny. I remember reading it in the newspaper back in the day!)
1962: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards take the stage for the first time in Ealing, England with their first band, unfortunately named Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys.
Keith was only 55 then!
