Tommy’s Coffee Break Calendar for November 14th

Paul vs. Putin... -- Elvis' boots cost....? -- Belushi destroyed this guy's guitar...

11/14/2013 (3 years ago today) - Paul McCartney posted a letter on his web site calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release 30 Greenpeace activists whom Russian authorities arrested during a protest over Arctic oil drilling in September. All of the activists involved had their charges dropped by December...

11/14/2015 (1 year ago today) - A pair of white boots worn by Elvis Presley during his legendary 1968 Comeback TV Special were purchased by a British rock & roll memorabilia collector for $44,500! Elvis had the size-11 Verde boots on while performing "If I Can Dream", just two months after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.; the song's lyrics included quotes from the civil rights leader.

11/14/1951 - Happy Birthday to singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop, 66 years old today. "On And On" was the biggie, and we're fans of the movie "Tootsie" (1977), which he wrote the theme for. But our favorite, hands down, is in "Animal House" (1978) -- that's Stephen strumming his guitar on the steps, singing "I gave my love a cherry..." to fawning female students, when John Belushi comes along, tears the guitar out of his hands, and smashes it to smithereens!!!! Classic stuff...

Share your cherries with the Calendar here on our web site and on the WBLM Facebook and Twitter pages with the hashtag #TommysCoffeeBreak.

"I gave my love a chicken/That had no bone...", xoxo!
