Today is Saints Cyril and Methodius Day also known in Bulgaria as Bulgarian Education and Culture Day. They spread christianity among the Slavic peoples of Bulgaria, Great Moravia, and Pannonia. They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the precursor to the current Cyrillic alphabet which is named after Cyril.

On this day in 1965 Bob Dylan began recording his ‘Bringing It All Back Home’ album. He recorded the lead song: Subterranean Homesick Blues. The song has numerous cultural references and one line ‘You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing’ was adopted by the radical left group ‘The Weathermen’. Incidentally, the song was produced by a guy named ‘Tom Wilson’.
