Today's This Day In Rock will be a bit shorter, but no less sweet with the three facts that I have for you today.

Going back to 1956, this day was a good day for Elvis Presley as he made chart history in the US by having 10 songs on the Billboard top 100 at the same time.  Of that list were Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel.

The rumor mill of the music industry is unbleivable.  Don't believe me, then check this out.  In 1966, a radio station in Los Angeles announce that Mick Jagger was dead.  How, why, when?  Well, for some reason there was never any full explination as to why it was announced.  Could you imagine the havoc THAT rumor caused?

And finally I want to say I LOVE the First Amendment of the Constitution.  FREEDOM OF SPEECH.  And I'm sure Ozzy Osbourne will agree with that statement.  In 1986, a California Surpreme Court Judge refused to reinstate a lawsuit against him.  The parents of a teen who commited suicide claimed that the song Suicide Solution was the cause.  The judge informed the parents that he was protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.  You Go Judge!

Well, there it is, short and sweet just like I promised.  You guys have a rockin weekend and I'll bring you more next week here on This Day In Rock.
