what happened on this day in music
February 23rd
1940 - Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie wrote the lyrics to 'This Land Is Your Land' in his room at the Hanover House Hotel in New York City. The song was brought back to life in the 1960s, when several artists of the new folk movement, including Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Trini Lopez, Jay and the Americans, and The New Christy Minstrels all recorded versions, inspired by its political message.
2003 - Michael Jackson
The News Of The World (so it must be true) reported that Michael Jackson had undergone scores of painful operations to strip his body of black skin until he appeared white. And that surgeons at a Santa Monica clinic eventually refused him any more treatment. An insider told the paper that Jackson had been anaesthetised on a weekly basis to have his skin peeled and bleached.
Evidence now tells us these were all litgitiamte treatments for vitiligo which can cloned skin treatments that combat posting and patches of white skin on black people, which was reported in his autposy. Can he have been both suffering from this notorious skin condition and wanting to appear 'white' I doubt it but hey, that was the New of The World for ya! What ever happened to them?
hhhmmmm?

Zeke Manyika, from Orange Juice, who had the 1983 UK No.8 single 'Rip It Up'.
1944 - Johnny Winter
Johnny Winter, blues guitarist and singer who has worked with Rick Derringer and brother Edger Winter. He scored the 1969 US top 30 album, 'Johnny Winter'. Winter died at the age of 70 on 16th July 2014 in Zurich, just days after playing at the Lovely Days Festival in Austria. I saw Wnmter a couple of times live at festivals in the UK and frankly was blown away with that breakneck speed of slide and guitar blues. Astonishing player
