13 December. We are now halfway throgh this Christmas Calendar og Beers. Before we now, it soon will be Christmas Night. The beer of today is from Ørbæk Bryggeri , from the isle of Fynen. This isle host a lot of good breweries. Ørbæk is not my favour brewery... Anyway, lets give it a chance with the Nyborg Julebryg. This day in rocknroll history: 1969: Bob Dylan was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine on this day, two years and one month after the magazine was founded. The issue went on sale for 35 Cents. Tree years later Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show made a song about getting on the cover of the Rolling Stone. As a result, the band was on the March 29, 1973 cover of Rolling Stone; however, they did so in caricature, rather than in a photograph, and with the caption, Whats-Their-Names Make the Cover. 1961: The Beatles performed at the Cavern Club, Liverpool playing two shows at lunchtime and then again at night. Decca Records Mike Smith attended the night performance with a view to offering The Beatles a recording contract. 1962: Elvis Presley was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with Return To Sender, his 13th UK No.1. Elvis performed Return To Sender in the film Girls! Girls! Girls!. The opening bars and backing on baritone saxophone was performed by Bobby Keys who later went on to work with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Harry Nilsson, George Harrison and Eric Clapton. 1966: Jimi Hendrix made his TV debut on ITVs Ready Steady Go! (Marc Bolan was also on the show). The Jimi Hendrix Experience also recorded Foxy Lady on this day. The United States version of Are You Experienced listed the song with a spelling mistake as Foxey Lady and this is how it is still known among many North American fans. Are You Experienced? 1970: Dave Edmunds was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with his version of the 1955 Smiley Lewis hit I Hear You Knocking. The Welsh singer, songwriter and producers only No.1 hit. 1986: Bruce Hornsby & The Range went to No.1 on the US singles chart, with The Way It Is, a No.15 hit in the UK. Written by Bruce Hornsby and his brother John Hornsby, it made explicit reference to the American Civil Rights Movement. The song was heavily sampled by Tupac Shakur in his song, Changes from 1998. More on Tupac 2000: It was announced that after 74 years the UK rock weekly Melody Maker was to close down. The Christmas edition would be the last one then it would merge with the NME creating a more sizeable broad-based magazine.
