MP3 of the Day
Marilyn Monroe married baseball legend Joe DiMaggio on this day in 1954. Monroe and DiMaggio divorced after only nine months. She married Arthur Miller in 1956 and divorced him in 1961. She died of an overdose of barbiturates in 1961, a possible suicide. DiMaggio continued to send flowers to her grave every day for the rest of his life, until his death in 1999. Today we have a new song by VAMPIRE WEEKEND called M79 from their self titled debut.

Of all the great bands that I discovered in 2007 the one that I'm probably the most excited about (well maybe besides Tullycraft) is Vampire Weekend.
Did you all know that Hugh Hefner owns the burial vault next to Marilyn at Westwood Memorial Park, Los Angeles, California and intends to be buried there?
BOAT played with VW in Missoula.
When they were married, Joe Dimaggio was intensely jealous of the attention showered on Marilyn by men everywhere. When the "The Seven Year Itch", was filmed in New York, now famous promotional photos were taken on a subway ventilator outside the Trans-Lux Theater on 52nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Joe watched Marilyn's skirt fly up again and again, revealing her white panties before thousands of enthusiastic photographers and fans. Jealous Joe angrily stormed off. Later the couple had a huge fight in the hotel. Two weeks later they separated and eventually divorced.
you should post "joltin' joe dimaggio" by barbara manning to accompany this.
