This is the day in 1958 that Chuck Berry's single "Johnny B. Goode" was released.
The question as to what would happen if that song traveled through time has surprisingly already been answered here.

Sloppy Joe's & Home Fries
With some fresh artisan bread and havarti cheese. As good as it was messy.

Today's Tidbit
The singer Madonna is always complaining that other artists are doing her thing that she was the original and only musical "blonde" and that they should be more original [or so it would seem]. If you've got blonde hair and resemble her in any fashion she's usually calling you out in the press for being unoriginal and that she did it all before you. Everyone should know the real original musical blonde of that era before Madonna staked her claim was Debby Harry of Blondie.
On this date in 1981 Blondie was at No. 1 on the US singles chart with "Rapture".
In contrast Madonna's first official release didn't come until a year later and it was another year after that before Madonna had her first hit single "Holiday". Enjoy the nostalgia.
I guess I should mention that in 1983 the Cyndi Lauper album that spawned "Girls just want to have fun" was released and went on to be a hit for two or three solid years. I think holiday's and blondes wanting to have fun were big themes back in 1982-1985. Debbie Harry's new wave and punk elements that originated in the 70's didn't stand a chance when the bubblegum express rode into town.

Today's Tidbit
Staying away from the fact that today is the day John Lennon and Yoko Ono began a public week in bed I have a couple of of other bands and songs I'd like to feature.
On this day in 1967 The Turtles began a three week run at No. 1 on the US singles chart with "Happy Together".
The second mentionable was on this day back in 1972. The band America started a three week run at No. 1 on the US singles chart with "Horse with No Name". Digging a little deeper you may find out what the common consensus was as to what the "horse" with no name represented. Either way a timeless tune I can still appreciate.
