In fact, what is about today is about to date, is in about cool media. It is October the 1st. ♪ If you have a hair, long beautiful hair ♪ ♪ Shine in gleaming, steaming flats of acid ♪ ♪ Give you down to their hair, shoulder length a longer ♪ ♪ Yeah, baby, damn, I'm gonna do it ♪ ♪ Everywhere, daddy, daddy, hey, hey ♪ - Today is national hair day. - So? - Yeah, I hear you, brother. Hair care has come a long way since Cleopatra washed her hair with donkey milk. Today is to celebrate how your hair reflects your personality and has to remind you to take care of your hair. So it was probably started by a hair care company. That's okay. Now, if you have hair, have fun with it today. You know, maybe try different styles. You wanna go get yourself a haircut that you've been wanting to, but you haven't had the guts to do? Yeah, give it a shot. Whatever you do, just enjoy your hair today. Yeah, if you don't have any hair, just drink beer. All right, it is October. It's the first full month of fall. October means the eighth month. Well, it used to be. First stones are opals and tower melene. Birth flowers are a mere gold and cosmos. Now, if you're born in October, you're either a Libra or a Scorpio. October's full moon is the Harvest Moon. All right, let's see what's going on in entertainment in October the 1st. Let's go back to your 1986. The number one album was dancing on the ceiling by Lionel Richie. Here, Lewis, in the news that the number one song was stuck with you. ♪ We are bound by overhead ♪ ♪ Like the same for another ♪ ♪ All the same friends ♪ ♪ And the same for James ♪ ♪ Yes, it's true ♪ ♪ Yes, it's true ♪ ♪ I am happy to be stuck with you ♪ - Janie Fricki had the number one country song with always half, always will. ♪ I love you like a fool ♪ ♪ Always high ♪ ♪ Always weak ♪ ♪ But you know ♪ ♪ That it's just my point of view ♪ - The top book was "It" by Stephen King. Number one movie was "Cuck it out, then Dee." An American reporter goes to the Australian up back to interview a poacher. Well, then she brings him back to New York City. So, hi, Jinks in soon. Stars, Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, and John Miller. All right, what happened on October 1st? 1888 National Geographic Magazine published its first issue. 1898, the United States Congress created the Yosemite National Park out there in California. Second National Park behind Yellowstone. 1891, Stanford University opened up. Now, Leland and Jane Stanford, they donated $40 million to start the university. Yeah, they did it in memory of their son, Leland Jr. He had died at 15 years old from typhoid fever. So even today, Stanford's official name is actually Leland Stanford Jr. University. Now, that $40 million that they granted, that would be $1.5 billion today. 1908 Ford's Model T cards went on sale, 850 bucks. The other cards at the time cost $2,000 to $3,000. 858, that'd be 29 grand today. Today is a National Jay in China. Today in 1959, the People's Republic of China was formed by Mao Zedong. Now, sure, China has been around for thousands of years, but they only really celebrate the current communist regime that's been around for 75 years. That is the People's Republic of China, not China. 1971 Disney World opened up in Florida, cost $3.50 to get in. Today, the average price to get in, 150 bucks. 1989 US Army General Colin Powell became the youngest and the first black chairman of the joint use of staff. ♪ Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go ♪ ♪ Go charge this silver, okay ♪ ♪ We gon' party like this silver ♪ ♪ We gon' sit on the car like this silver ♪ ♪ And you know we don't give up ♪ ♪ 'Cause it's your birthday ♪ - Okay, let's see who was born October the first.
