Today is the 65th Anniversary of lightning striking the Hill Valley Clock Tower, the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Marty McFly going back to the future, Marty burning the sports almanac, and Doc getting sent back to 1885 when lightning hit the DeLorean. Amazing how so many things can happen in one day in one city.

Ace of Spades

Happy 40th Anniversary to the Motorhead album Ace of Spades.

Mother Love

Happy 25th Anniversary to Queen's last album Made in Heaven. Released four years after Freddie Mercury's death, it features his final recordings he did in 1991 that were completed years later by the surviving members as well as songs from his solo album with the music redone to sound like Queen songs.

This song here is Mother Love, the final song Mercury worked on during May 1991. Sadly, he only completed 2/3rds of the song before his health further declined and he died in November 1991 before he was able to finish the song so Brian May sings the last verse.

Death Wish 3 Main Theme

Death Wish 3 (1985) Trailer

Off by 2 days but Happy 35th Anniversary to Death Wish 3. Charles Bronson and Cannon Films went perfectly together.

 Very sad to hear the passing of Sean Connery but the plus side, 90 is a long and great life. What can I say, he was a giant in film and one of those guys you can't believe would ever die. Women wanted him and men wanted to be him. Suave, a bad ass, and a man's man. Obviously, he'll always be remembered as James Bond and was a huge reason why the Bond series is one of the greatest franchises in movie history. Along with his seven outings, he was also great in The Untouchables (which he rightfully won an Oscar for), Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and The Rock to name some.

So October 21st is said to be Back To The Future day. I may have brought this up but why this date when it occurred in the second film? Why not October 26 where most of the present takes place or November 5 where Doc came up with the flux capacitor or November 12 when Marty went Back to the Future, lightning bolt hit the clock tower, Marty and Doc destroy the Sports Almanac, and Doc gets sent back to 1885? Technically, some have already pointed out there are several Back to the Future days.

Jan 1st: Doc is sent back to 1885

Sept 2nd: Marty goes back to 1885 to retrieve Doc

Sept 7th: The climax of Back to the Future Part III

Oct 21st: The beginning of Part II and Biff steals the almanac to create an alternate 1985

Oct 25th: The beginning of Back to the Future I

Oct 26th: Marty goes back to 1955, returns on this date, and most of the present is on this date

Oct 27th: Marty returns from 1885 and the end of the Part III takes place

Nov 5th: Marty travels to 1955 and Doc comes up with the flux capacitor

Nov 12th: Marty goes Back to the Future, Old Biff gives Young Biff the Sports Almanac, Marty and Doc burn the almanac, and Doc is sent to 1885
