On this date in 68 AD, the Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide, imploring his secretary Epaphroditus to slit his throat to evade a Senate-imposed death by flogging.
In 1954, Joseph Welch, special counsel for the United States Army, lashed out at Senator Joseph McCarthy during hearings on whether Communism has infiltrated the Army. "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch cut him off and demanded the chairman "call the next witness." At that point the gallery erupted in applause.
In 1980, Comedian Richard Pryor attempted to commit suicide by dousing himself with rum and setting it ablaze during a cocaine binge. "When that fire hit your ass, it will sober your ass up *quick*!"

1941 - Jon Lord, organist in Deep Purple <---- A genius, Fleabit, thank you remembered him.
I hope you dig Deep Purple as much as young Jay, as Deep Purple along with the Stones stand for my top 5 fave.
I swear the God I have a picture with the living legend Ian Gillan, in flesh and bones, reall stuff man. I must show you anytime.
Cheers!

LOL! But hey, as the great British Philosopher Eric Idle once said, always look on the bright side of life! At least now you don't have to buy a present for Valentine's day!

JJ-- I love Deep Purple but only with the original lineup of Lord, Evans, Blackmore, Semper, and Paice. I thought they deteriorated after their 3rd (self-titled) album. Other than the Stones, it didn't get much better than Chasing Shadows, The Shield, and Emmeretta. |

It was also announced around this time that Brian Jones had quit the Stones and would be replaced by Mick Taylor. |

Every day is Valentina's Day here over at Pleasantville.
Valentina's 44DDD cups are currently the "talk of society". Screw you Frank Capra! You commie worm. |
