Hi,
	I'm posting this for my friend Eric M. Levin, who is not on
	the net at this time:

	 Two Rock 'n' Roll trivia questions:

	 1) Give the titles to six (6) rock 'n' roll songs that mention
	 numbered pieces of pavement in the lyrics (eg. Interstate 80 or
	 Fifth Street).  
		 Hint: In one answer the numbers sum to 308 (decimal),
		 but all solutions are welcome.

	 2) Based on a _Fact_ in rock 'n' roll recording history, what 
	 legendary _fictional_ rock 'n' roll event occured 5 June 1947?
