Fact #57811
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'.
