Re: Rock & Roll History Dept. Jan 1st & more...

He moved back from NYC? Who knew. He can keep the money if he promises to 
do better work (or hire better researchers - several good candidates could 
be found at this very site, I'm sure) for the next update. The first 
updated Vol.2 notes the passing of Keith Moon and the addition of Kenny 
Jones, but goes on to say that the Who have never had a change in 
personnel. Whomever updated the entry, obviously didn't bother to read the 
whole thing.
 
And as Andrew recently pointed out on the Bloo, with such obvious stuff 
that shoddy, you probably can't trust any of the research.
 
And speaking of shoddy, here's today's Maxcess (mis?) information:
Jan 12
Born:
Long John Baldry (6 feet, 7 inches) (1941) (Editors note: That's a pretty 
big baby. No mention of birth weight, but it now seems obvious as to why 
his parents named him Long.)

Events:
1963 Please Please Me released in the UK, it becomes the Beatles 1st #1.
