Sounds impossible.

BOTW (the single) was released January 26 1970 and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28 and stayed at the top of the chart for six weeks.

BOTW (the album) was released January 26 1970.

I like this idea of dates and anniversarys.

Would you people here be interested in building up a small calendarium of events - and then I can make a reminder function for let´s say:
1 year ago
5 years ago
10 years ago
20 years ago
25,30,40,50....

So you see on the main home page what happened exactly x years before.

This calendar could include big concerts, release dates of albums(although they are different from country to country...), award dates, private dates (birthdate, marriage,...), dates of special TV appearances.

But we really need a lot of dates so that this thing will work.

Hi bodo,

I had same idea, but I haven´t tried to make it by myself.

I hope this link helps you.

That is an excellent idea Bodo. Most newspapers have an ´on this day in ´History´ section. To have such a section here limited to Paul Simon related history makes entertaining sense What would you put down for an obscure date like,say...August 15 though?

Thank you Kazoo, also a very good list.

Ok, I will try to make a small form this evening/tomorror where you can put in dates and events. I think we can mix all things together (no categories like S&G, PS)...whatever was an remarkable date can be added.
