Non-Musical history for today: 1955 – Disneyland was dedicated and opened by Walt Disney in Anaheim, California. The "happiest place on Earth" has changed a lot, which is how Walt would have wanted it. I've seen Disneyland Paris and have been to Walt Disney World 15 times. I love Disney.

Non-Musical history for today: 1951 – J. D. Salinger published his popular yet controversial novel, The Catcher in the Rye. I am not known as an avid reader, but I read the novel in one day. I don't remember anything about it. My wife would be very sad to read this.

Non-Musical history for today: 1799 – The Rosetta Stone was found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign. The Rosetta Stone is a stele (stone monument) composed of granodiorite inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. The decree has only minor differences between the three versions, making the Rosetta Stone key to deciphering the Egyptian scripts.

Non-Musical history for today: 1850 – U.S. President Zachary Taylor died after eating raw fruit and iced milk; he is succeeded in office by Vice President Millard Fillmore. According to The National Constitution Center, he officially (then) died from cholera morbus, and today, the prevalent theory is that Taylor suffered from gastroenteritis, an illness exacerbated by poor sanitary conditions in Washington. Washington is still full of unsanitary crap. Mostly the politicians.

Non-Musical history for today: 2011 – Space Shuttle Atlantis was launched in the final mission of the U.S. Space Shuttle program. Starting in 1981, the Space Shuttle had 135 missions,  of which 133 returned safely. Challenger exploded just after takeoff in 1986. Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry in 2003. Both were probably due to NASA's determination of higher mission rates over the safety of its crew. Way to go, NASA.
