Jeff Koons‘ 45-foot tall inflatable nylon sculpture, Seated Ballerina, went up in Rockefeller Center Plaza on May 12th, 2017 and was originally due to be up only through June 2nd.

But there is nothing wrong with just taking a day out to celebrate the color Pink, which just makes everything brighter and more fun. Pink Power!
Glenn Danzig celebrates 56 years on the planet today, having been born on June 23rd in 1955! Someone once asked me, and I admit this was a few years ago now, who I thought would win in a fist fight between Danzig and Henry Rollins.

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!
