love you like a father."
1957: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel make their first appearance on ABC-TV's dance show American Bandstand -- in their earlier incarnation as Tom and Jerry, playing their minor hit "Hey Little Schoolgirl."
1963: President John F. Kennedy's motorcade passes through Dallas, TX, on its way to the Dallas Trade Mart, where he is to give an important speech. Three blocks before it reaches Dealey Plaza, it passes a rehearsal hall where the "Caravan of Stars" tour performers -- Dale and Grace, Brian Hyland, Bobby Vee, and Jimmy Clanton -- are preparing for that evening's show. All wave to the President.
1965: Bob Dylan marries his first wife, Sara Lowndes, in Nassau County, NY; as she is already pregnant with his first child, the marriage is kept a secret for the next two months. The couple would divorce in 1977.
1965: The musical Man Of La Mancha, starring Richard Kiley, opens on Broadway.
1968: In Ireland, singer Marianne Faithfull, heavily addicted to cocaine, miscarries what was to be her second child, fathered by boyfriend Mick Jagger.

1990: The Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman announces the dissolution of his year-and-a-half-long marriage to model Mandy Smith. It was the third marriage for Wyman and the first for Smith, who was 34 years his junior. (The duo had begun dating when she was 13!) In an even more stunning development, Wyman's 30-year-old son soon married Mandy's mother, who was 16 years older than him, which, if Bill had remained married, would have made him his own grandfather.
2002: Ex-Doors members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger announce they will reform the band for the first time in 27 years, replacing original drummer John Densmore (suffering from hearing loss) with the Police's Stuart Copeland and replacing original frontman Jim Morrison with soundalike Ian Astbury of the Cult.
2003: ZZ Top plays the final show at Houston, TX's Compaq Center before it is closed down; the native band had played there when it was The Summit, back in November of 1975. The venue later reopens as Pastor Joel Osteen's mega-church.)
