OUR DAILY OLDIES: BY THE EARLY 1950s, WHEN ROCK AND ROLL WAS BORN, BLACK PERFORMERS WERE DOING WERE DOING "REVOLUTIONARY" MUSIC FOR THE AGE BUT THOSE WERE THE TIMES WHEN SEGREGATION WAS STILL LEGAL. WHITE ARTISTS USED TO DO COVER VERSIONS OF SONGS ORIGINALLY FROM BLACK ARTISTS BUT THE WHITE COVER VERSION WAS THE ONE SELLING MORE RECORDS AND PLAYING ON THE RADIO, MAKING FAMOUS THE WHITE "COPIERS". SAM PHILIPS OWNED A LITTLE RECORDING STUDIO IN MEMPHIS, TN (SUN RECORDS) MAKING RECORDS BY BLACK MUSICIANS AND SINGERS. HE SAID TO HIMSELF: "IF I FIND A WHITE GUY WHO COULD DO THESE SONGS, I COULD GET RICH". ONE DAY, ELVIS CAME WITH A GUITAR AND WANTED TO RECORD A SONG FOR HIS MOTHER... THE REST IS HISTORY. TODAY'S SONG IS 'READY TEDDY', ORIGINAL BY LITTLE RICHARD AND THE COVER VERSION BY ELVIS.

On Howard Stern's show today, Biden claimed...

- He saved 6 people from drowning as a lifeguard (Lie)
- He received "salacious pictures" from women in the 70s that he handed to Secret Service (Definitely a lie and senators don't have secret service protection)
- That he was arrested as a kid while standing with a black family on their porch as people were protesting desegregation. (Lie)
- That he was "runner-up in state scoring" in football. (Lie)

In May 1963, John Salter, a sociology teacher from the historically black Tougaloo College and NAACP youth adviser, joined black and white Tougaloo students during a sit-in at a segregated lunch counter at the Woolworth’s store in downtown Jackson. A mob of young white people doused them with sugar, mustard and ketchup and attacked Salter with brass knuckles and broken glass.

“I was burned with cigarettes, hit and had pepper thrown in my eyes,” Salter wrote in an article published in The Guardian in 2015. “The women weren’t struck, but had their hair pulled. All the while the air was filled with obscenities, the n-word — it was a lavish display of unbridled hatred.”

Like many civil rights activists in the 1960s, Salter was monitored by people working for the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, a state-funded spy agency that sought to preserve segregation.
