On this date in 1945, Iva Toguri D'Aquino, a Japanese-American also known as "Tokyo Rose", was arrested in Yokohama for participating in English-language propaganda in the South Pacific.
40 years later in 1985 the band Idle Eyes had a great song out called Tokyo Rose. The band won the Juno Award for "Most Promising New Group". Also, if my memory serves me well, in 1985 an old beau and I had lunch and he never even mentioned that he played the guitar in Idle Eyes or about the Juno Award. I found out in 2008. A belated congrats on the Juno Glenn R. Smith.
