.2004. Iraq for Iraqis - "Let Freedom Reign! And kick ass!"
.2003. Outfielder Gabe Kapler goes 4-for-5 with two doubles and a triple in his Red Sox debut. For anyone who cares, this is the song Kapler has chosen for his Fenway at-bats. I kid you not.
.1977. These were the songs dominating WABC ("The Greatest Top 40 Radio Station of All Time") the day I was born.
.1969. The Stonewall Riots. Thirty-five years later, Queer Eye.
