Audio Escape Almanac

Society & Culture


It's Metallica Day in San Francisco, and we'll open the program with a Metallica snippet in observance of the day. There's also some tunage from Nick LaRocca and Guy Lombardo that's germane to this day, but we'll move on quickly enough to the biggest thing that happened on March 7th: the 1965 incident at the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama. We've a news report and some words from President Johnson. We'll also observe Ravel's birth and the passing of Divine, Harris Glenn Milstead. And we'll close with news of Roald Amundsen that reached the world today in 1912.
