Obviously the date November 22 means one thing - the assassination of JFK.
BUT since we're now only 72 hours from the release of The Beatles' GET BACK documentary (I AM SQUEALING!!), it's also a reminder that 11/22 is the date that not only The Beatles second album was released - on the very day of the assassination, no less - but also, 5 years later to the day, The White Album, which some claim to be their absolute peak, was released.
On a side note, while it's become an iconic part of the Christmas season now, many claim that the reason Phil Spector's spectacular Christmas album failed upon release was that it came out within hours of the assassination as well. (Surprise: Spector did not kill JFK)
