Friday July 10th, 1998
Coca Cola Company launches a new Citrus soft drink called “Surge” and holds a sweepstakes event called “ A Surge Around The World; Splash Contest”.
On this date, double platinum R&B artist, Aaliyah Haughton, stands at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport and does the honors of randomly drawing the name of 20-year-old winner, Fadel Abdulha of Burbank, Calif in front of many sweepstakes participants and fans.
The winner and his accompanied entourage (his two brothers; Bob and Sarkis Abdulha) board a private jet headed to Moscow, Idaho for lunch and spend the rest of the day hanging with Aaliyah. - what a lucky guy!
DID YOU KNOW: Surge was created by Coca Cola to compete with Pepsi’s Mountain Dew and was launched February 7th 1997. Despite efforts to lure customers away from Pepsi, Coca Cola shut down production of SURGE (due to lack of sales) in 2003. It was a popular Facebook fan-page called "SURGE Movement" which convinced Coca-Cola to re-release the soft drink on September 15, 2014. Occasionally, this fan page shows love to Aaliyah sporting the Surge outfit on her birthday and anniversary of her passing.

Today (July 22nd 2022) we’ve gotten the sad news that Núria Feliu has died at 80 years of age.
She has been one of the most important and popular Catalan singers since the 1960s. She has published 42 albums with traditional Catalan songs, boleros, ballads and cuplets (light-hearted music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries) and she was also the one who popularized American music like jazz and country, which was little known here before her and had never been sung in Catalan.
She always defended the Catalan language, in fact she defended that she sang jazz and chanson in Catalan because it’s a language equal to others that can be used for everything. She was also a defender of Catalan independence and women’s freedom. In fact, she was one of the first women in Catalonia to get a driving license, back in the 1960s.

Today in history, July 6, 1957: John Lennon and Paul McCartney meet
“I remember John singing a song called ‘Come Go With Me.’ He’d heard it on the radio. He didn’t really know the verses, but he knew the chorus. The rest he just made up himself. I just thought, ‘Well, he looks good, he’s singing well and he seems like a great lead singer to me.’ Of course, he had his glasses off, so he really looked suave. I remember John was good.” -Paul McCartney
“Paul met me the first time I did Be-Bop-A-Lula on stage. And a mutual friend brought him to see my group called The Quarrymen and we met and talked after the show and I saw he had talent, he was playing guitar backstage and doing Twenty Flight Rock by Eddie Cochran and I turned around right on first meeting and said ‘do you wanna join the group?’ And he said hmm hmmm…and I think he said yes the next day. As I recall it.” -John Lennon

Andrew Latimer (born 17 May 1949) is an English #musician and #composer. He is a founding member of the #progressive #rock #band Camel and the only member who has been with them since their formation in 1971. Although he is best known as a guitarist and singer, Latimer is also a flautist and keyboardist.[3]
Along with partner Susan Hoover, Latimer relocated to America where they established a music production company named Camel Productions to release Camel's new studio albums: Dust and Dreams (1991), Harbour of Tears (1996), Rajaz (1999) and A Nod and a Wink (2002) as well as a host of "Official Bootlegs" on CD. The band went on the road in 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2003. They released their first full concert DVD in 1997 titled Coming of Age which began a series of subsequent DVD releases. In mid-2006, Latimer and Hoover returned to the UK and established Camel Productions UK Ltd.
Progressive rock guitarists such as Steve Rothery (Marillion),[7] Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth),[8] Bryan Josh (Mostly Autumn)[9] and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief)[10] cite Latimer as one of their primary influences. Musician and producer Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree is a known fan of Camel and has stated, "Andy Latimer means very much for me."[11]
Latimer received a Lifetime Achievement award at the 2014 Progressive Music Awards.[12]

Did you know that the ‘Meddle’ album cover represents an underwater ear collecting waves of sound represented by ripples in the water?
