1897 -- Dr. John Kellogg serves the first Corn Flakes.  He tries them out on his patients at a mental hospital in Battle Creek, MI.  The rooster on the box has a name.  It's Cornelius.

1933 -- The board game of Monopoly is introduced.  I've been trying for 30 years and have still never won a single game.

1971 -- A seed is planted for the movie Urban Cowboy as Gilly's nightclub opens in Pasadena, California.  It's named after part-owner Mickey Gilley and inspires the movie Urban Cowboy.  It's the home of the mechanical bull and answers the question about girls getting prettier at closing time.

1994 -- The Supreme Court rules that parodies can be considered "fair use" and they don't require permission from the copyright holder.  Cledus T. Judd, Ray Stevens, and Weird Al Yankovich are back in business.

1998 -- Sara Evans performs "Your Cheatin' Heart" at her Grand Ole Opry debut.

1998 -- George Strait gets yet another #1 Billboard hit with "Round About Way."  Nobody in Nashville is surprised.
