Non-musical history for today: 1963 – The United States Supreme Court rules 8–1 in Abington School District v. Schempp against requiring the reciting of Bible verses and the Lord’s Prayer in public schools. Let’s hope that holds up. I don’t care if you do your own verses and prayers, but don’t force it on me, and don’t expect me to do it.
Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for June 17.
