For the second time in a week, a day with no events enshrined in Rock ‘n’ Roll History.
I mean, really, come on, people – Edgar Allan Poe was born today, as was Cezanne, and even Dolly bloody Parton.
There’s really nothing you can think of to write a song about?
If this keeps up, I’m going to have to come up with some better way of filling these unmusical days than berating composers for their laxity…

Nemir – that’s what happened on this day, not what people wrote songs about, or at least, not songs I was able to find.
