It's now Mandatory to provide Customers with Ear Plugs

The UK's Performing Rights Society has sued a Scottish chain of auto repair shops for 200,000 pounds, claiming that customers may have heard music coming from employee-owned radios & that therefore the chain owes that amount in rights fees.

From one of a series of specials Sid Caesar did in 1959:

You can see the beginnings of the effects of Sid's addictions. He's lost a fair amount of weight since "Your Show of Shows", & he covers himself wonderfully when he flubs a line. Sid barely has a line through most of the sketch. But, when you have a red-hot Charlton Heston (just over 2 weeks before the premiere of Ben-Hur) playing opposite you (along with Audrey Meadows & Howard Morris) there's only so much time. Heston is actually funny in the part, hamming a bit & playing the laughs well. I'm Impressed!
