Elvis Costello's song, "Every Day I Write The Book" peaked at #36 on the pop charts on this date back in 1983.  Watch the video and get all primed up for Elvis' show on Tuesday night, November 19th, at the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono!

It was on this date in 1982 that Rambo was born, as the Sylvester Stallone flick hit the big screen for the first time.  If you missed it, it's probably playing right now on TBS.

Another brilliant video from 1983 was by the Talking Heads, and their song "Burning Down The House", which peaked at #9 on this date. A very clever video if there ever was one. 

Born on this date was one of rock's original madmen, Leslie West. With his bushy hair and chainsaw guitar he made Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" a very big song! Leslie is 68 today!  Right now at this moment, it's pretty much guaranteed that Mississippi Queen is being played by someone in a garage somewhere.
