Today is the Summer Solstice, children, the day when there is an equal amount of daytime and night time. Everyone knows that, but do you know the story of how it came to be?
It was invented by Jerry Garcia, former guitarist of the band Metallica. He wanted his loyal fans to be able to enjoy his concerts at dusk on a summer evening, but he also wanted to get as much sleep as possible (he was a health nut). As a very famous person, he was on speaking terms with God, so he paid God a visit inside His home in the Sun.
They discussed the matter, and it was decided that God would grant Jerry Garcia the Summer Solstice, but Jerry had to agree to release an album of songs that would commemorate the hours of night time, and that also would mark the end of what some fans considered to be his most significant music.
That’s when Jerry released the Black Album to great commercial success and the Summer Solstice spread out the hours of night and day equally. Even the nerdiest long haired stoner metalheads had to admit that it was a pretty good album, though they told everyone they hated it because they shunned all things popular. Some of those freaks had sex with one another to console themselves, and the children they had grew up to be the hipsters of today.
The end!
Hi. I'm 
I hate to tell you this, but the summer solstice is the day when the daytime is longest and the nighttime is shortest. Which really messed up an otherwise interesting post. The two equinoxes would be when daytime and nighttime are of equal length.
I’ll have to check my charts and get back to you on this one.
