1956: Mitch Miller and DJ Alan Freed appear, along with two psychiatrists, on Eric Sevareid's television program CBS Sunday News to discuss the "potentially negative effects of Rock 'n' Roll on teenagers." oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/april15.htmOn another note, according to this site, Don Ho died on April 14 then again on April 15. Wonder how he did that.  (For the record, it was the 14th) |

Wonder how he did that. (For the record, it was the 14th) I wonder of Don Ho died in Hawaii and it was still the 14th there, but the 15th on the Mainland. 1971: The Illinois Crime Commission releases a list of "drug-oriented rock records" that include Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," but also, for some reason, The Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "Puff The Magic Dragon," by Peter, Paul and Mary. I don't understand why the author of the "Today in Oldies Music" page doesn't "get" the significance of With A Little Help From My Friends" and "Puff The Magic Dragon" as drug songs - especially among paranoid drug-fighter types. The "Friends" could easily mean drugs. The Puff song had been talked about as a potential secret marajuana song for years before 1971. Puff the Magic Drag-in. Little Jackie Paper, etc. |
