Non-musical history for today: Happy Mexican Independence Day! Well, at least on September 16, when it actually happens. Contrary to popular ignorance, Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated to commemorate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. So, still have your tacos, burritos, Coronas, Modelos, and margaritas. Just know what you're celebrating and why. "¡Viva México!" (that, by the way,

Non-musical history for today: 2005 – Airbus A380 aircraft had its maiden test flight. The A380 is making a comeback, sort of.

Non-musical history for today: 753 BC – This is the traditional date that Romulus founded Rome. However, some historians believe that Rome has been around for about 48,000 years.

Non-musical history for today: Five high school students in San Rafael, California, coined the term "4:20" as part of their 1971 search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the supposed grower.
