1939 Sneak previews of The Wizard of Oz
MGM screens a sneak preview of The Wizard of Oz. After the screening, producers debate about removing what will later become the movie's signature song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." When the film was released in August, it contained the song. Some 15,000 people waited in line at the box office for the New York opening at the Loew's Capitol: 37,000 tickets were sold to seven shows on the first day. Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney performed onstage at the premiere, and Garland continued to perform a live stage show for the next several weeks.
Although MGM mogul Samuel Goldwyn had intended the role of Dorothy for Shirley Temple when he bought the film rights in 1934, Temple's appeal was fading fast by the late 1930s, and the role went to up-and-comer Garland instead. The film made the 17-year-old actress and singer an international star and earned her a special Oscar that year for Best Juvenile Performer.
The 101-minute-long film remained a classic for decades. In 1956, an estimated 45 million people tuned in to watch the movie debut on television as part of the Ford Star Jubilee. The movie spawned two sequels, including Journey Back to Oz (1974), an animated film featuring the voice of Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland's daughter, and Return to Oz (1985). A remake with an African American cast, The Wiz, starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, was released in 1978 with music arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones.
The movie is still one of America's top-selling videocassettes and one of the first 25 films to be put on the National Film Registry, which is reserved for culturally or historically significant movies. It ranked sixth in the American Film Institute's 1998 poll of America's 100 Greatest Movies.

1972 Ziggy Stardust's debut performance
At a London concert hall on this day in 1972, singer David Bowie appears for the first time as alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Intended as a satiric parody of larger-than-life rock stars, Ziggy was actually taken seriously by many rock critics and fans, and Bowie-as-Ziggy became a major star.
Cockfighters...
Cockfighters was the name of the indoor soccer team I played in 2003. We played for a whole year & we sucked but it was memorable times. Most of the players were Wild Boyz. My 2 younger brothers played on the team too & that was awesome. Nate Sherwood was the goalie for 1 season until he got hit in the face. So he threw in the towel. I miss playing soccer. Rest in peace Anish. We love you!

1957 Paul McCartney meets John Lennon
On this day in 1957, 15-year-old Paul McCartney attends a church picnic in the village of Woolton, near Liverpool, where he meets 16-year-old John Lennon. Lennon had formed a band called the Quarrymen, which was playing at the picnic. Between sets, McCartney played a few songs on guitar for the band, and a few days later Lennon invited him to join. At first, McCartney didn't take the group seriously-in fact, he missed his first performance with the band because he had a scouting trip.
