July 18
Sometimes life teaches us lessons. Other times death does the honors. On this date in 1968, Mary Jo Kopechne learned that it is not a particularly good idea to go swimming while wearing a high-powered automobile.
On this date in 64 c. e. the Great fire of Rome began in the merchant area of Rome. It is probably an apocryphal story that Emperor Nero played his lyre and sang songs while watching the blaze from a safe distance. Recent research indicates that he played a ’64 Gibson SG and a pre-CBS Fender Deluxe.
