Today in Rock History
June 5, 1986
The iconic “Twist and Shout” parade scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was set on June 5th and filmed during Chicago’s real Von Steuben Day parade. Director John Hughes cleverly integrated the scene into the actual annual German-American parade, using real participants and spectators. Matthew Broderick performed on a float while thousands joined in singing and dancing. The sequence remains one of the most joyful and memorable moments in 1980s cinema.
Getting a text from my daughter that just says: “MOMMMMMM!!”
Now I gotta wait to see if she’s been kidnapped, can’t find a shirt to wear, or wants her friend to come over.
"While this chapter may be ending, the person you helped shape will stay with me forever."
Jordy Frahm writes a heartwarming letter to softball.
#WCWS x @HuskerSoftball
Jordy Frahm left college softball better than she found it.
Her poise, her competitiveness and her love for the people around her is what I’ll always respect the most.
Thank you for helping @HuskerSoftball and @B1Gsoftball reach new heights. ❤️
History for Jordy Frahm.
@jordybahl becomes the first player in #NCAASoftball history to pitch 20 wins and hit 20 home runs in back-to-back seasons.
#WCWS x @HuskerSoftball
My waitress at a sports bar in Bricktown just told me that when Nebraska Basketball fans came to OKC, they tipped her enough in four days to cover two months of her rent.
“That week turned me into a Nebraska fan.”
Oklahoma City belongs to Nebraska fans.
So many comments I heard walking up to the ballpark amazed about the Big Red showing here at the #WCWS.
“I can’t believe how many Nebraska fans are here.”
I’m honestly surprised anyone is surprised at this point. #GBR
