APRIL 12 - The Daily Bleed
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
1989 -- Abbie Hoffman, Yippie peace activist of the 60's, dies at 52. Commits suicide.
A Chicago Seven radical who founded the Yippie movement once tossed dollar bills onto the floor of the American Stock Exchange to disrupt business. It worked. Near-riot in the mad $cramble for free buckaroonies.
1968 -- Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention perform at the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Dinner in New York City:
Zappa looks down at the audience & declares the event "a load of pompous hokum...All year long you people have manufactured this crap, now for one night you're gonna have to listen to it!"
Zappa later remarks, "We played the ugliest shit we could ... That's what they expected us to play."
