The first episode of the Beatles’ very own radio show, «Pop Go The Beatles», airs this month, and the Beatles get even more exposure. At least in the UK.
The Ventures
The 35th Academy Awards was held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on April 8th, 1963, honoring movies released in 1962.
The third member of the abomination that is U2 is born this month, and a monster is getting closer to rise into our world. Can we stop it? No. Can we complain about it? Yes.
In June ‘61, Bill Evans Trio will enter The Village Vanguard in New York and record two of the best jazz recordings ever made…according to the ones who know what they’re talking about.
September 1960 saw the birth of the very first prime time animated show on television; The Flintstones. The antics of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble have put a smile on people’s faces for quite a few decades now.

Cassius Clay made his entrance on the boxing scene for real in the summer Olympic games in Rome, 1960. He knocked down all his competitors and brought home the gold medal. And he stayed on top of the world from that point on.
Even though the albums released this month wasn’t up my alley doesn’t make June a complete disaster. The Ventures, Chubby Checker and Fats Domino all released some pretty good singles, and at least one of them is a pretty massive addition to music history.
