The prompt for the week is:    
The day I was born

The Brief: 
  • What happened
  •  Historical
  • Films
  • Music
  • Books
  • Television
  • Or use any other historical (well known or otherwise) event
The video is on YouTube

The topic was the year I was born, but I decided to do the day I was born just to be a bit more specific.

I had previously looked this up when I was at college, but that was over 20 years ago (ouch was it that long?) and I barely remember what I found to be honest. However, upon looking up the newspaper for the day I was born, I found the major thing I found when I was at college was actually the year prior to the day I was born. Oops - talk about a mistake...

Anyhow, some of the events & facts on the day I was born was:

Weather & Pollution:

Politics:
  • IRA gunmen attack army post in Belfast.
Other Birth & Death:
Music:
  • According to Beatles Bible: The follow-up to John Lennon's critically acclaimed Imagine was released in the United Kingdom on this day. Some Time In New York City was a departure for the former Beatle. It was a collaboration with Yoko Ono and US band Elephant's Memory, and contained some of his most political songs. It was a critical and commercial failure, and featured two discs containing 10 studio songs and six live performances. 
Warning: Click on to begin music. I found this is very hard to listen to - so be aware!

Space:
  • NASA Administrator James C. Fletcher  released a report on Apollo 15, addressing the essential facts developed through investigation to date concerning postal covers, the Fallen Astronaut sculpture, and unauthorized timepieces.This article goes on to describe a new instruction which revises the policy and procedures on articles that can and cannot be carried on manned flight missions. 
TV Shows: 


Although this newspaper clip doesn't show The Price is Right, but as you can see this video was made in the same year and has been put on YouTube as the day of my birth. 

Air flight:
  • According to an online article, an SAS domestic flight from Gothenburg to Stockholm was hijacked and flown to Malm-Bulltofta Airport. 
Earth Events:


  • Another article shows a magnitude 4.5 earthquake shakes Northern Illinois.

  • In Drive Ins & Movie Theaters:
    Horoscope:

    I wonder what I was busy doing? *grin*
