Through the windshield of the 2ser time machine, we see today Empress Wu Zetian ascending to the throne as China’s first, last and only female monarch, Queen Marie Antoinette taking it in the neck for high treason, and the contested deaths of the Balibo Five. Plus birthdays for Oscar Wilde, Angela Lansbury, Nico, Flea and Bob Weir.

Today’s Track:

Grateful Dead – Touch of Grey
