Quirky quote of the day
“In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.” — Rita Rudner
Today in history
On this day in 1957, bible-school dropout Jerry Lee Lewis laid down the definitive version of “Great Balls Of Fire,” amidst a losing battle with his conscience and with the legendary Sam Phillips, head of Sun Records.
Hours into the “Great Balls Of Fire” session, Jerry Lee began arguing with Sam Phillips that the song was too sinful for him to record.
Here’s the rest of the story:
Weather
Today — Mostly sunny, with a high near 73. Southwest wind between 5 and 15 mph.
Tonight — Mostly clear, with a low around 48. South wind between 5 and 10 mph.
