cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.music also gives some notable dates in music-history.

Seems like biased towards some bands, while omitting some arguably greater or at least equally important bands of the same era. Not that there's anything wrong with Yes or Jethro Tull being mentioned, but if they are, seems like Genesis and King Crimson should be mentioned as well.

$ cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.music | grep Genesis

$ cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.music | grep "King Crimson"

$ cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.music | grep Yes

02/20 Yes sells out Madison Square Garden...without advertising, 1974

04/18 Yes breaks up after 13 years, 1981

10/25 Jon Anderson (Yes) is born in Lancashire, England, 1944

$ cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.music | grep "Jethro Tull"

08/10 Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) is born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1947

I'm sure that you could contribute to the project, if it really bothers you.

Please remember that every time you cat a file and pipe it to grep an innocent process dies. Have you no compassion?

Its OK, an innocent process is born too.

And the address space gets recycled.
