This Day in History: April 22

On this day in 1978, Bob Marley headlined the One Love Peace Concert in Jamaica, while The Blues Brothers performed for the first time on Saturday Night Live. Or as drug-sniffing dogs called it, “The Perfect Storm.”

On this day in 1876, the first National League baseball game was played in Philadelphia. And even though they weren’t yet invented, players were still pelted with batteries.

On this day in 1945, Adolf Hitler admitted defeat. Hear that?? Rather than telling his supporters something was rigged, stolen, or cheated, Adolf Hitler admitted defeat.

On this day in 1937, Jack Nicholson was born. Or as he put it, “Heeeeeere’s baby!”

On this day in 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. Personally, I think we’ve done a great job caring for the Earth aaaaaaand gotta go, there’s a polar bear at my door.

Enjoy the present…and remember: The Garden’s Always Greener.
