Woodstock anniversary. New Aerosmith single out in a few weeks. McCartney & Wings "Live and Let Die" anniversary. Americans stressed out at work. 6 high school habits you miss as adults.

WOODSTOCK

It was 43 years ago Saturday -- August 18th, 1969 -- that the Woodstock Music and Art Fair wrapped with Jimi Hendrix's incendiary set after more than three days of music in Bethel, New York. More than 450,000 people converged upon the small upstate town to hear rock's biggest bands perform. Although Woodstock was neither the first nor last major festival concert, the fact that the youth of America were able to congregate in one place with no violence during one of the most turbulent years of the decade, gave birth to the notion of the "Woodstock Nation" and gave a voice -- and a face -- to the hippie ideal.

Artists who performed at the legendary festival included Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonald & the Fish, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Mountain, Janis Joplin, the Who, the Band, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Grateful Dead, Sly & the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Sha Na Na, John Sebastian, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Joe Cocker, and many, many more.

AEROSMITH

Aerosmith will be releasing their latest single in the next few weeks. According to bassist, Tom Hamilton, the band's first album of new music in 11 years, Music From Another Dimension -- will be released on November 6.

Tom said, "We're in Bristow, Virgina. It's the last show of this leg of the tour we've been on all summer. We're going to go and chill for a while - and while we're taking a break - a couple of new songs from the new album are going to come out at the end of August."

PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS

It was 39 years ago this week (August 18th to August 25th, 1973) that Paul McCartney & Wings' theme to the James Bond movie Live And Let Die peaked at Number Two on the charts. The song, which followed the recent Number One success of the band's "My Love," was kept from the top spot first by Diana Ross' "Touch Me In The Morning," and then by the Stories' "Brother Louie."

McCartney came about writing "Live And Let Die" through former Beatles producer George Martin, who was the film's musical director and pitched the project to him. McCartney spent a day reading the Ian Fleming novel, and then went about composing the song with help from his wife Linda, who contributed the reggae-tinged middle portion.

• Wings drummer Denny Seiwell recalls the speed in which the song was recorded: ["'Live And Let Die' was pretty amazing, because we did that track in and out of the studio, with a live 40-piece orchestra, overdubs, mix in three hours at Air London at George Martin's studio. So that was pretty impressive."] SOUNDCUE (:14 OC: . . . was pretty impressive)
• Although "Live And Let Die" stalled at Number Two on the Billboard charts, it went on to hit Number One on both the Cash Box and Record World singles charts.
• Over the years "Live And Let Die" has become a McCartney concert favorite, with its explosions and pyrotechnics that seem to grow with each tour. The song has been featured on such live McCartney albums as Wings Over America, Tripping The Live Fantastic, Paul Is Live, Back In The U.S. and most recently on Good Evening New York City.
• The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song from A Motion Picture, but lost to "The Way We Were."
• In 2009, "Live And Let Die" was named the top James Bond movie theme. A poll conducted by HMV music stores and the social networking site getcloser.com showed that the tune snagged 23 percent of all the votes.

73% OF AMERICANS ARE STRESSED OUT AT WORK: Nearly three-fourths (73 percent) of American workers are stressed out by at least one thing at work, according to Everest College's 2012 Work Stress Survey. The biggest stresser? Not getting paid enough. Some 11 percent of those surveyed cited pay as their biggest source of stress, followed by annoying co-workers (10 percent), commuting (9 percent), unreasonable workload (9 percent), and working in a job that isn't their chosen career (8 percent). Women are definitely more stressed about money than men: 14 percent of women in the work-stress survey cited pay as their top stressor, compared to 8 percent of the men. However -- the number of people who cited fear of being fired or laid off as a top source of stress dropped to 4 percent in this year's survey from 9 percent last year. (Yahoo!)

6 HIGH SCHOOL HABITS YOU MISS AS ADULTS (Glamour)

Passing notes. Remember how you'd fold up a sheet of lined paper into a complicated little triangle with a flap to pull it open, decorate it with a smiley face, and stick it in your guy's locker? I'm not the first or last person to lament the lost art of the written letter, but it's true: perusing your Gmail archives just doesn't have the same effect as pulling down a shoebox filled with crumped notes about how boring third period study hall is when you're not allowed to sit together.

Talking on the phone for hours. OMG, hiding the phone when your mom came into say good night and then whispering until you fell asleep at 2 a.m. with the phone still cradled in your ear. This was romance, people! Also a contributing factor to your acne-phones are a hotbed of bacteria smushed against your cheek. Totally worth it though.

Pranks as a sign of affection. The hottest activities at sleepovers were always: talking about boys, prank calling boys, and on a really good night, busting out your black sweatpants to sneak over to the cute neighbor boy's house and cover all his trees in toilet paper. These days you'd be seen as a bit of a psycho if you did such a thing, and it is an odd way to show affection, but those are some of the best memories from back in the day. You laughed until you were afraid you'd throw up the nachos you ate on the pre-TPing late-night Taco Bell run.

Going out on the fanciest dates, paid for by your parents. To this day, you probably haven't ever dressed up so much for a date as you did with your poofy, sequined prom dress. Nobody brings you a wearable flower before you go to the local pub on Saturday night. Plus, I'm guessing his parents don't give him money to pay for your meal like most of the parents of your high school dates did. Life was kind of easier back then, even if you didn't appreciate it at the time!

Making out under the bleachers. Or in the back of the bus. Or parked in car at your town reservoir (a thing in my hometown). Or in the wrestling room. While you probably appreciate having your own, parent-free place to live as an adult, don't you kind of miss the challenge of finding secret places to hook up?

Making out generally. As you get older, the days of a relationship consisting entirely of hours and hours of face-sucking tend to fall by the wayside. Granted, they're replaced with sex, which is even more awesome in a lot of ways. But come on: it was totally hot to kiss until you could barely breathe but never take it further.

Thanks for listening to The Eagle while you work. Keep it fabulous, Houston!
