A group called Steam was given credit for this week's Billboard chart topping tune, "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". The song was actually recorded by vocalist Gary De Carlo along with producers Paul Leka and Dale Frashuer, who laid down the entire tune with only keyboards and a pre-recorded drum track, using no guitars or bass. The trio of friends intended it to be the "B" side of De Carlo's first single, "Sweet Laura Lee", but when record company executives heard the songs, they wanted to release both of them separately as an "A" side and hire a band to tour as Steam. De Carlo was even offered the chance to record an entire album, but the group, whose picture would appear on the LP, would take full credit for the effort even though they wouldn't sing or play a single note on it. De Carlo wanted nothing to do with the scheme and walked away from a record that went on to sell over six and half million copies.

The song that would be sung at every high school football game in the US.

Kathleen, on April 1st of 1976 three men, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne got together and started a fledgling computer company they called "Apple". Less than 2 weeks later, fearing potential creditors could seize his assets, Ronald Wayne sold his 10% share of Apple for $800. As of April 2016, if Wayne had kept his 10% share in Apple Inc. it would have been worth almost $60 billion. That's 60 BILLION dollars! And THAT is a bad business decision.

As John might say, another bad business decision. (Have I got that right, rs?)
