Anyone over the age of say 48 ought to remember 1975. “Saturday Night Live” premiered on television. Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years” was album of the year, and who could forget mood rings, Rubik’s cubes, pet rocks, hip-huggers, bellbottoms and leisure suits.
The Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft took off for a U.S.-Soviet link-up in space on July 15, 1975, and the U.S. Postal Service commemorated the event with a first class stamp depicting the event.

Just one day before he was to be put to sleep, Jake was pulled from a high-kill shelter near Tiffin, Ohio.

Holly Williams says she just writes songs.

She found time to record her third album, The Highway, and it’s so good that her musical career is about to return to the forefront.
Raised in Nashville, Williams comes from the heritage of the legendary Hank Williams. She is the daughter of Becky and Hank Williams, Jr., who were married for 10 years and separated when Holly was young. She is also the half-sister of Hank Williams, III.
