Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison is a Northern Irish
singer-songwriter and musician whose recording
career started in the 1960s. He is 80 today.

On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock music festival opened on
a patch of farmland in White Lake, a hamlet in the upstate New
York town of Bethel.

Promoters John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and
Michael Lang originally envisioned the festival as a way to raise
funds to build a recording studio and rock-and-roll retreat near
the town of Woodstock, New York.

NASHVILLE, TN. (KATU) — The search is on for an iconic guitar
used in a major motion picture, and you could help find it.

Gibson and Michael J. Fox say the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345
guitar played on stage has been missing for 40 years.

The guitar was featured during the “Enchantment Under The
Sea” school dance scene when Marty McFly played “Johnny
B. Goode.”

Officials say that during the making of the film, filmmakers went
to look for the guitar, and it was nowhere to be found.

Michael J. Fox was born June 9, 1961 in Alberta, Canada.

"Rock Around the Clock" was a Last-Minute Addition to
the recording session. 

On April 12, 1954, Bill Haley and His Comets recorded
“(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” at a Decca
recording session in New York City.

If rock and roll was a social and cultural revolution,
then “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” was
its Declaration of Independence. And if Bill Haley
was not exactly the revolution’s Thomas Jefferson,
it may be fair to call him its John Hancock.

The song was chosen to play over the opening
credits of the film Blackboard Jungle, which is
how it became a pop sensation, selling a million
copies in a single month in the spring of 1955.
