Non-musical history for today: 1938 – Orson Welles broadcast a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds, causing a massive panic in some of the audience in the United States. I heard it (and of it) the first time in the sixth grade. My teacher told us about how it was used and how people freaked out. People were gullible back then. Or now. Just according to how you look at it.

Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for October 30.
