Fact #6258
When:
Short story:
New York Supreme court rules that Alan Freed, a deejay
for WINS Radio, New York City, USA, can no longer call his show, 'The Moondog Rock And Roll Party', because the blind street
composer Louis 'Moondog' Hardin has established that Freed stole
the name from him. That night, at P.J.Moriarty's restaurant on
Broadway, Freed tells colleagues that he now plans to copyright the term 'rock and roll'.
