Play Some Sabbath! Some Things For February 13, 2020

Metal got its edge 50 years ago today, with the release of the self-titled debut album by Black Sabbath. No, not the one with “Iron Man” on it – that’s the “Paranoid” album. This is the one with the song called “Black Sabbath.” By Black Sabbath. On an album called “Black Sabbath.”

And it’s the birthday of Peter Gabriel, who sure knows how to change clothes fast.

Happy birthday to Stockard Channing, while we’re at it. The star of “Grease” and “The West Wing” (yes, she’s the actual star, not whoever it was that played her husband) is 76.

Here’s a headline for you. “Adults wearing onesies to Michigan bar crawls is a hot, growing trend.” Well, growing I believe, anyway.
