1974
The number one song in the land was The Joker by the Steve Miller Band!
One of the best songs ever!
It was a big day in 1991!
– The U.S. Congress passed a resolution authorizing President Bush to use military power to force Iraq out of Kuwait.
This was the prelude to Operation Desert Storm
– Garth Brooks has the number one single with Unanswered Prayers!
– Country singer Johnny Paycheck was released from an Ohio prison after serving two years in prison for shooting a man in December 1985.
I wonder if it was his boss he shot…?!
and then lastly…
2006
The U.S. Mint began shipping new nickels!
The coin has an image of Thomas Jefferson taken from a 1800 Rembrandt Peale portrait in which the president is looking forward.
Since 1909, when presidents were first depicted on circulating coins, all presidents had been shown in profile.
Interesting!
