A BUSY DAY IN HISTORY
“Happy anniversary, folks.”
In 378 at the battle of Adrianople, Gothic horsemen destroyed the attacking Roman forces led by Emperor Valens. The Goths killed an estimated 20,000 of the 30,000 Romans. In 1945 the U.S. bomber Bock's Car dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, destroying a third of the city and killing 40,000 people, according to U.S. estimates. Japan's government surrendered 5 days later. In 1968, the Manson Family conducted their slayfest at the home of Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate, and, in 1974, President Richard Nixon, facing impeachment by Congress for his role in Watergate, resigned.
Of the above, only Charlie Manson has a music blog about him.
The secret words are Helter and Skelter

Yeah!Go Goths!
Manson slayfest was 1969, not '68.
It's 1969, okay. You are so right, Brother Munz, but how much accuracy do expect from a heathen hophead?
