"Do you remember the 21st night of September?"

Happy 40th anniversary to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September," which was actually released on November 18, 1978. What's the significance of September 21 in the lyrics? Well, none.

"I constantly have people coming up to me and they get so excited to know what the significance was. And there is no significance beyond it just sang better than any of the other dates. So … sorry!"

Do you remember? ?

Exhibit A. Reverend Parsley drawing an uncanny line from Numan's Winter of Discontent to Merrie England. Exhibit B. Parralox asks the question "What if Are 'Friends' Electric? was shamelessly uplifting synthpop?" and gets the answer right. Exhibit C: Kaelin Bougneit. Additional comment unnecessary. READ THE REST
