It’s National Disc Jockey Day!

There are lots of dumb, made-up holidays now. Like tomorrow’s Squirrel Appreciation Day. But some holidays DO deserve to exist . . . like, today is NATIONAL DISC JOCKEY DAY. It’s January 20th because one of the original disc jockeys, Alan Freed, a.k.a. “Moondog”, passed away 61 years ago today, in 1965. He helped popularize the term “rock and roll” in the 1950s, and he was one of the first people inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. And it’s easy to celebrate the holiday, just take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate US . . . and maybe buy us lunch. You know, a “little something for the effort.” Now’s not a time to go cheap on us, don’t save it for Squirrel Appreciation Day. Because let’s be honest, squirrels don’t need any appreciation. They’re just cute tree rats, who will destroy your bird feeder, repeatedly (???).
