Today in Musical History, September 30th:

One of very few, truly great moments in rock n' roll on TV, Neil Young goes on Saturday Night Live, September 30th, 1989, and absolutely tears the roof off, thundering through "Rockin' In The Free World".

And this is just the rehearsal performance - For unknown reasons, the actual live broadcast song is even more energetic, but unavailable on the internet...

1982: The Compact Disc is introduced, in Japan. Americans don't get them until 1983. Waah, waah, waah. 

Did you know that there's a fungus, geotrichum cadidum, that not only causes sour rot in carrots, tomatoes, and citrus fruits, but also cause geotrichosis, a disease of the human lung - And yet the fungus is a primary component in such cheeses as Camembert, and certain brands of yogurt ?

Guess what ? It also eats the polycarbonate and aluminum in CD's. Nature ALWAYS finds a way.
