"She Loves You" was the first song by The Beatles to be played on the radio  
in the United States. New York City DJ Murray “The K” Kaufman (above) later 
recounted: "In late ’63 they brought a record to me and mentioned the possibility  
that The Beatles might be coming to America, so I said, ‘Okay’, and I put it on the
air”. Murry  became an early supporter and friend of the group. He often referred
to himself as the fifth Beatle.

“Eve of Destruction” was written by P.F. Sloan in 1965. Although Several artists
have recorded it, the best-known version was cut by Barry McGuire. The vocal
track was a rough mix and was not intended to be the final version, but a DJ
obtained a copy of the recording and began airing it. The song became an
instant hit and a more polished vocal track was never recorded.

Barry McGuire will be 76 on the 15th of October

The Checkers speech or Fund speech was a television and radio address given on 
September 23, 1952 by Richard Nixon, who at the time, was the Republican vice 
presidential candidate and junior United States Senator from California. Senator
Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his
backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. During the speech in which he defended himself, he stated that regardless of what anyone said, he intended to
keep one gift: a black and white dog (above) named Checkers by the Nixon children,
thus giving the address its famous name. Nixon’s speech was broadcast from The
El Capitan Theater, now known as the Avalon Hollywood in California. He had been staying at a hotel in Portland, Oregon prior to making the address.
