April 28, 1969 ~ Chicago Transit Authority releases their debut album. It's a double album from the unheard of Chicago jazz-rock fusion group -- unheard of at the time. While people didn't take notice right away, the album garnered a lot of progressive radio and college radio play. Once talk about CTA spread, the actual "Chicago Transit Authority" threatened legal action -- hence the name change to simply "Chicago." #chicago #chicagotransitauthority #70srock…

As I was walking down the street one day
a man came up to me and asked me
what the time was that was on my watch
and I said:
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can't imagine why
we've all got time enough to cry
