Alice Cooper is Mr. Nice Guy

On this day in 1991 helped two fans, Patrick and Dee Ann Kelly whose home was about to repossessed. Apparently Patrick had painted the rocker's face on the home to help aid in selling the property. Alice signed autographs to help raise money for the couple.

Who Shot JR?

Apparently in 1980, it was a big deal to find out who shot JR on Dallas. I wasn't born yet, so I wasn't aware of the issue, but I guess it was Kristin Shepard, his sister-in-law and former mistress.

Just in case anyone was still wondering.

Bo Didn't Know

As The Doors would later learn, if you make Ed Sullivan mad, you will be banned from his show.
Bo Diddley found this out himself on November 20, 1955. Diddley was the first African-American ever to appear on the show and also the first to be banned.

Apparently he was supposed to perform a cover of "Sixteen Tons" but chose instead, without informing anyone ahead of time, to play his number one hit "Bo Diddley." You would think it would make sense to perform your current hit, but apparently Sullivan didn't agree. Bo didn't know. Or maybe he did.
