This Day in Music
KLFD March 27, 2025


On this day in music, March 27, 1987, Irish rockers U2 shot the video for their single “Where The Streets Have No Name” on a liquor store roof in downtown Los Angeles. Mirroring The Beatles’ rooftop concert nearly 20 years earlier, the event attracted thousands of spectators to the corner of Seventh and Main Street and brought traffic to a standstill. Despite police interference (as documented in the visual), the shoot was allowed to continue. The video eventually earned the group a Grammy Award.

In 2008, X Factor winner Leona Lewis’ second single, “Bleeding Love,” reached the summit of the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first British woman to reach No.1 on the American charts since Kim Wilde in 1987. The song debuted at No.1 in the UK chart, staying there for seven weeks.

In 2020, the influential Jamaican reggae vocalist and songwriter Bob Andy died of cancer, aged 75. He is best remembered for his partnership with singer Marcia Griffiths – as Bob & Marcia – which resulted in a Top 10 UK reggae version of Nina Simone’s “Young, Gifted & Black” in 1970.

In 2012, David Bowie‘s landmark album The Rise Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars was celebrated with a blue plaque in central London. It was unveiled by Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp at Heddon Street, the location where the album’s iconic cover photo was taken.

In 2000, 57-year-old singer, songwriter, poet, and actor, Ian Dury, died. The British artist was best known as the leader of Ian Dury & The Blockheads, who topped the UK pop charts in 1978 with “Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.”

In 1965, The Supremes topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth time with “Stop! In The Name Of Love.” In 2004, the Holland-Dozier-Holland song was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll” list.

Superintendent Update on Litchfield School District
KLFD March 27, 2025


The Litchfield School District is in the midst of spring break this week. When students and staff return to school on Monday, they will be celebrating Paraprofessionals Week, and athletes will soon be having their spring opening games and meets.

Superintendent Susan Burris says the weather has been great for the athletes for their practices this spring. She says the School Board will be meeting next on April 7th as there wasn’t going to be a quorum for the previously scheduled April 14th meeting.

Burris says during the March 10th meeting, the Board approved about a half-million-dollars-worth of reductions to the next budget. She says the School District had received some federal funding in the past few years and that would be ending this year so they needed to make some reductions in order to maintain a healthy fund balance.

Burris says the Board had a work session on March 10th with 3 consultants who provided information about developing a strategic plan. She says they’re hoping to put a strategic plan together next year with feedback from stakeholders in the District and determine priorities for the next five years.

High Speed Chase Leads to an Arrest
KLFD March 27, 2025


On Tuesday evening at 6:21, an Olivia Police officer initiated a traffic stop near Highway 212 and 14th Street in Olivia which was prompted by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed – westbound on Highway 212. The vehicle had passed another vehicle in a non-designated passing area within the Olivia city limits.

The vehicle pulled over for the officer, but then the driver fled at a high speed – westbound on Highway 212. Other law enforcement agencies were called for assistance. The vehicle continued west of Olivia reaching speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, and in the process forced a deputy off of the roadway and into a ditch. A Renville County Sheriff’s deputy successfully deployed a tire deflation device causing several tires on the vehicle to deflate.

The vehicle eventually came to a stop near Highway 212 and County Road 1. The driver was arrested on felony charges without incident and was transported to the Renville County Jail where she is awaiting arraignment.
