Born on this Day in History: September October 18, 1926 - Chuck Berry (1926 - ) Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Chuck Berry had early exposure to music at school and church. As a teen, he was sent to prison for three years for armed robbery. He began producing hits in the 1950s, and had his first number one hit, "My Ding-a-Ling," in 1972. With his clever lyrics and distinctive sounds, he was one of the most influential figures in the history of rock music.
On this Day in History: October 18, 1974 - The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, based loosely on Ed Gein's story and originally titled Headcheese, opens in theatres. One critic describes the film as "a vile piece of sick crap," containing "unrelenting sadistic violence as extreme and hideous as a complete lack of imagination can possibly make it." The movie is later banned in Germany and the UK.
