On this day November 29: Sir James Jay invented invisible ink on this day in 1775 (making it possible for us to read all those invisible books); Mixmaster DJ Thomas Edison demonstrates his phonograph for the first time on this day in 1877 (spin that record Tommy!); Atari announced the release of Pong, the first commercially successful video game on this day in 1972 (nothing compares to the strategy of controlling that little balls bouncing around on the screen, those were the days..); The Grammy Awards were televised for the first time, with Bobby Darin being the big winner, on this day in 1959; A very sad day for us - Beatles guitarist George Harrison lost his battle with lung cancer on this day in 2001; Disco music ruled in 1975 with The Silver Conventions Fly, Robin, Fly becoming the #1 single and KC & The Sunshine Bands Thats the Way I Like It at the #2 position; Bruce Springsteen owned the #1 album The River in 1980; The Beatles magnificent Abbey Road was the #1 album for the fifth week on this day in 1969; Happy 58th Birthday to the host of Deal or No Deal Howie Mandel, born in 1955; Happy 80th Birthday to British blues guitarist/singer Mr John Mayall, born in 1933; Happy 52nd Birthday to, in my opinion, brilliant actor (although often troubled by drug addiction) Tom Sizemore, born in 1961; and Happy 45th Birthday to one of the first boy banders, New Kids On The Blocks Jonathan Knight, born in 1968 (get loose everybody were gonna do our thing, cause you know it aint over til the fat lady sings, yo! check it out, everybodys hangin tough, hangin tough, are you tough enough?!). Be Calm on this manic shopping Friday and have a Dancehall Day yall!
