Today in music history: Thomas Tallis was born, in 1505. And The Beatles played their last concert together, a live impromptu gig on the roof of Apple studios in London. It was broken up by police, because it was jamming traffic on the streets below (go fig!).
It's also the anniversary of the birth of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882), and the death of Mohandas K. (Mahatma) Gandhi (1948).
And in 1835, Richard Lawrence attempted to assassinate President Andrew Jackson, but both his pistols misfired. President Jackson instead beat him with his cane. Take that!
