Today in rock music history:

Also on this day, Ray Charles goes to #1 for the first time ever with Georgia On My Mind, his ninth hit.
November 14, 1962: The Beatles played the final show of a 14-night run at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany. We will soon be featuring these performances here at $BecomeUngovernable Radio.
