On this Date, June 25th in 1967: An estimated 400 million people in 26 countries saw The Beatles debut “All You Need is Love” as part of the One World satellite broadcast. Among those who provided backing vocals on the track were Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Keith Moon. As a side note, I also very much enjoy The Rutles’ parody of this song, “Love Life” — which you can watch below! Love is the meaning of life/ Life is the meaning of Love…

OK, I am daring you to name one thing in the universe that could possibly be cuter than this baby flying squirrel that is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, with room left over. And look at those big eyes. I’m dying of the cuteness over here.
“Yeah, You’re Everywhere That I’m Not…”
On this Date, June 23rd in in 1982: Translator released their debut album, Heartbeats And Triggers. The album included the single, “Everywhere That I’m Not,” which was such a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day, when it used to get played once every 90 minutes on KROQ FM. I especially loved the walking bass line and the parts where the guy singing would mention all of the places that his girlfriend/love interest was that he was not. What a fun song!
