They gotta have them in Texas

Our attention has been brought to the fact that today is the 40th anniversary of Supertramp's Breakfast in America.

Fun fact of the day; Supertramp was the first big concert I went to. In Nice in 1983 during a heatwave. We were very happy when they played It's Raining Again and the fire department sprayed the crowd with water.
