In 1606 Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn was born in Leiden. Smile, brother, smile. In 1903 the Ford Motor Company took its first order for a two-cylinder Model A, at a cost of $850, from Chicago dentist Ernst Pfenning. I don't know what 850 bucks would be today, but it is considerably more than a pfenning. In 1988 the movie Die Hard opened, making a huge star out of Jersey boy Bruce Wills. Yippie-ki-yay, motherfarker. And in 1986, after a 26-year partnership, Columbia Records dropped Johnny Cash from its label, shortly after they had done the same to another dead-beat non-performer, Miles Davis. Another man done gone, another song to sing, and flushed from the bathroom of your heart.
