1922- Johnny Weissmuller became the first to swim the 100-meters freestyle in less than a minute. The future Tarzan set the pace at an event in Alameda, CA.
1968- The first All-Star baseball game to be played indoors took place at the Astrodome in Houston, TX. The game produced only eight hits over nine innings
and no runs were batted in. Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants scored the only run on a single in the first inning. He moved to second on an errant pick-off
play, went to third base on a wild pitch and scored on a double play. The National League beat the American League 1-0.
1969- Tom Seaver of the New York Mets retired the first 25 Chicago Cubs he faced this day. However, with just two outs to go to get a perfect game, Seaver gave up a single to Jimmy Qualls. The Mets blanked the Cubs 4-0 in that one-hitter.
1972- Paul McCartney appeared on stage for the first time since 1966 as his group, Wings, opened at Chateauvillon in the south of France.
1977- Undercover Angel, by songwriter (turned pop singer) Alan O'Day, reached the top spot on the Billboard chart. It was not the first visit to the top of the pop
music world for O'Day, though the million-seller would be his last as a singer. He wrote Angie Baby, a number one hit for Helen Reddy and the #3 hit,
Rock And Roll Heaven, for The Righteous Brothers.

"Poor Little Fool" - Ricky Nelson
Watch a video:
In 1958, Nelson recorded seventeen-year-old Sharon Sheeley's "Poor Little Fool" for his second album Ricky Nelson released in June. Radio airplay brought the tune notice, Imperial suggested releasing a single, but Nelson opposed the idea, believing a single would diminish EP sales. When a single was released nonetheless, he exercised his contractual right to approve any artwork and vetoed a picture sleeve. On August 4, 1958, "Poor Little Fool" became the number one single on Billboard's newly instituted Hot 100 singles chart, and sold over two million copies. Nelson so loathed the song he refused to perform it on Ozzie and Harriet. Sheeley claimed he ruined her song by slowing the tempo.
More generally, Nelson stated - "Anyone who knocks rock 'n roll either doesn't understand it, or is prejudiced against it, or is just plain square"
Read about him!
(A Tex Avery/ Tom & Jerry Cartoon 1950)
Huck gets tired of being shot by the bad guy, so he dresses up in a protective suit of Armour.
Quickly, the bad guy shoves an anvil under Huck, pounds him into the shape of a toy car,
inserts a wind-up key and sends the car over a cliff.
