Looking Back A Quarter Of A Century

Have you ever thought about going back to school to get your online degree? I sure have.

I haven’t taken a course in 25 years, but I’ve been thinking about it more and more since online universities became more and more prominent on the Internet.

I knew it was just a matter of time before you could complete an entire college degree entirely online. Western Governors Online University has several online degree programs, all of which can be completed at your own pace, at a very affordable price.

I have been giving serious thought to completing a Business Management degree, or even better, some sort of teaching degree.

1968: Lady Madonna

On this day in 1968, the Beatles received another gold record for “Lady Madonna”. Of course, it’s no “Lucy In The Sky With wholesale diamonds“, but it sure is a good song. What’s your favorite Beatles song? Hey Jude? Yellow Submarine? Come on, don’t be shy. Admit it, there’s at least one Beatles song playing in your mind right now. What is it?

1925: Susie

On this day in 1925, Eddie Cantor recorded “If You Knew Susie”. Ah yes, the good ol’ days. Back when women didn’t worry about their weight and weight loss supplements weren’t even considered. Of course, back then they tried silly stuff like corsets and other weird methods for losing weight. Thank goodness for progress.

1956: A Career Begins

On this day in 1956, Chet Huntley began his career with NBC. Just think, he could have ventured into another line of work and ended up selling fish food or cars or something. Instead we were graced with his presence on the air for so many years I can’t even count them. Everyone needs to know what’s going on in the world, that’s for sure.

1974: Sunshine

On this day in 1974, “Sunshine on my Shoulders” hit #1 for John Denver. The one thing I liked the most about John Denver was the pure honesty in his music and the fact that I never saw him trying to sell merchandise like clothing brands, colognes, or wii accessories. Of course the Wii wasn’t around back then, but if it was, we wouldn’t have seen him trying to sell them.

1971: She’s A Lady

On this day in 1971, “She’s a Lady” went gold for Tom Jones. Jones has been wooing ladies from the time they use the best acne treatments til they can barely walk anymore. If you don’t believe me, just look into how many pairs of panties have been thrown his direction since he first took the stage.

1968: Otis Redding

On this day in 1968, Otis Redding received a gold redord, posthumously, for “The Dock Of The Bay”. What an awesome song. Otis Redding had a voice as smooth as a face treated with eye cream for years. No, now that I think about it, his voice was much smoother than that. Much smoother.
