Tommy’s Coffee Break Calendar for July 27th

Today you've got another classic rock warning, an icon's victory over "the man", and an historic gig for one of England's all-time greats...

7/27/1958 (57 years ago today) - Rock and roll music fans are warned that listening to their favorite music while driving costs you more money!!! According to research by the Esso gas company, the rhythm of rock and roll music causes the driver of the car to be more foot heavy on the pedal, thus resulting in much wasted fuel. We love science!

7/27/1976 (39 years ago today) - "Take that, Tricky Dick!": After four years of battling in the U.S. court system, John Lennon is finally awarded his green card, allowing him permanent residence here in America. A major victory!

7/27/1986 (29 years ago today) - Queen becomes the first western act since Louis Armstrong(!) in 1964(!) to perform in Eastern Europe when they play a concert in Hungary at the Budapest Nepstadion. The show is filmed and released as "Queen Magic In Budapest".
