Did you know...
born on this date (may 24) in 1941
By 1965 Bob Dylan had become fed up with the music business, so he hid away in a cabin in Woodstock, New York. Lacking inspiration, Dylan started writing prose and ended up with a 20-page story. He edited it down to a song that he called “Like a Rolling Stone.” Impressed with his creation, Dylan came out of hiding to record it. Result: It was the first single from his seminal album Highway 61 Revisited and began the second chapter of his career. Not only was it Dylan’s first top ten hit, peaking at number two, but it was also the first song over six minutes long to be on Billboard’s Top 40 list.

TRUTH !!
A carpenter named Pearle Wait invented Jell-O by adding fruit flavor to gelatin. His wife came up with the name Jell-O, and Wait started selling the product door-to-door. After failing to find anyone who would buy it, Wait sold the rights to his next door neighbor, Orator Francis Woodward, in 1899.
Woodward hired a stylish sales force and advertised heavily. Within four years, Woodward was a millionaire.
