chuck, watch shares of apple today. if it the stock reaches roughly 643 bucks, apple's market value will top $600 billion, becoming only the second company to do so. microsoft hit that mark in 1999. it's only taken apple six weeks to go from 500 to $600 billion. back over to you. >> i assume that makes their gdp higher than what most -- the equivalent of gdps of most countries around the world. jackie, thanks very much. >>> mitt romney trying to change lanes, shifting from the primary lane to the general election road. the road ahead isn't smooth. up next, we'll do a little back seat driving with mike murphy. one-time adviser to the former massachusetts governor. >>> plus, massachusetts democrat elizabeth warren is raising money at record levels. we'll tell you why it's not just a republican opponent who is being left in the dust. >>> and you're looking live at live pictures here. this is air force one, scheduled to take off on this very beautiful day here, any minute now. the president is leaving andrews air force base en route to florida. a couple of campaign events, an official event on the buffett rule. hence the r

chuck barry and fats domino couldn't get their music played on white radio stations. they called it race music and they wouldn't play it unless, of course, you slipped them a couple of bucks table. so it was very hard for a lot of these performers to get exposure to the white audience and the white kids were the ones that could afford to go out and buy the records. when people like chuck barry appeared on "american bandstand." you remember the old tag line, it was a good beat and easy to dance to. it was all about the music and it didn't matter what color or gender or what social position. it was about the music. and these were breakthrough performances in terms of exposure to the white audience for people that otherwise might have struggled to a great degree in obscurity in the music business. so a lot of the white rock 'n' roll artists, elvis, jerry lee lewis took their music from black artists and black performers. you listen to some of the early records that were recorded by presley and jerry lee lewis, too, in particular, it was all music that was written by chuck barry and produced by little richard and who recorded hound dog, but it was all of the white people took
