The song Charlotte the Harlot probably started me listening to Iron Maiden more than just hearing them on the radio because (and I know this is mean) when I was at school back in the day there was a girl I knew called Charlotte and I used to call her Charlotte the Harlot because of knowing the song. This was really when I was a little kid of about 8 and I actually ended up having her as a girlfriend when I was about 14, so it all worked out ok in the end.
Iron Maiden are an English, Heavy Metal group formed in London in 1975 by Steve Harris and have had many band members over the years (too many to list). The more noted members being Dave Murray, Bruce Dickinson, Adrian Smith, Janick Gers, Nicko McBrain, Dennis Stratton and the current lineup is: Bruce Dickinson (lead vocals), Dave Murray (guitar), Adrian Smith (guitar, backing vocals), Janick Gers (guitar), Steve Harris (bass, backing vocals) and Nicko McBrain (drums). This lineup has stayed consistent since 1999.
Maiden are one of the most successful of all heavy metal bands and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The name Iron Maiden was taken from an old torture device of the same name and the band actually formed on Christmas Day 1975. The group went through many band changes over their first few years of gigging and it wasn't until they signed to EMI in December 1979 that they started to record their work seriously. The self titled debut album Iron Maiden was released in 1980 and rose to #4 in it's first week in the charts. The same year Iron Maiden went on tour of the UK and opened for Kiss and Judas Priest which helped to give them public notice.
Bruce Dickinson joined the band shortly after the second album release (Killers) and went straight out on another tour of the UK. The Number Of The Beast was released in 1982 and was Iron Maiden's first #1 album in the UK and then they went on a massive global tour including Canada, US, Australia, Japan, Germany and UK. There was controversy in the US when a group of Christian activists held a record burning of Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne albums as they claimed them to be Satanic. Shortly after the tour saw the release of the third album Piece Of Mind which was a massive success.
Iron Maiden then went on another huge tour called the World Slavery Tour and it consisted of 193 shows over 13 months and this is recorded as one of the biggest tours in musical history. The next few years saw Iron Maiden change the ways they made their music and the inspiration behind it. In 1986 Somewhere In Time was released and was based around the ideals of time travel and it was the first album to contain synthesized bass and guitar sounds which were used to add layers and textures to their sound. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son was released in 1988 and was about a mythical child with magical abilities and also was the first album to contain keyboards and made it to #1 in the UK chart.
No Prayer For The Dying was released in 1990 and had huge success and the song Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter rose to give Iron Maiden their first #1 single in the UK. The song was recorded for the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. In 1992 Fear Of The Dark was released and was the first album to be recorded specifically for CD and was much longer than previous LP releases.
Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden in 1993 to pursue his own solo career but still performed a farewell tour and recorded two live albums (A Real Dead One which contained songs from 1975-1984 and A Real Live One which contained songs from 1986-1992).
The next album to come was The X Factor and was released in 1995 but didn't receive as much success as their previous albums. Best Of The Beast was released in 1996 and was the first compilation album and only contained one new song (Virus). Virtual XI was released in 1998 and was even less successful than The X Factor.
In 1999 Bruce Dickinson returned to the band and in 2000 they released the album Brave New World and rocketed Iron Maiden back into the charts and the minds of the UK public. Maiden went on another massive world tour (over 100 dates) and ended at the Rock In Rio festival in Brazil in 2001. The band played to around 250,000 fans and the show was recorded and released as a live album (Rock In Rio).
Iron maiden have released several albums since (Dance Of Death, Death On The Road and A Matter Of Life And Death) and still continue to tour. Iron Maiden have influenced many bands and won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2002 and were also inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk in 2005.

There is more than one legend regarding the origin of Valentine's Day and its celebration. The actual facts have apparently been lost over the years. At least two stories date back to third century Rome. At this time ancient Romans celebrated the birth of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, on the Ides of February, February 15, with a Lupercalia festival. Goats were sacrificed and males of around 14 years of age celebrated their maturity by gently slapping pieces of the goat hides against women marking them with the goat's blood. Ladies today would be offended by this treatment but Roman women considered it a way to bring them fertility and considered it good luck. Another part of the festival involved the young men choosing single women's names from a vessel and pairing with them for a year. Many of these matches ended in marriage.
As one legend is told, The Emperor Claudius banned marriage, thinking that single men made better soldiers. Needless to say the young people of Rome weren't all in favor of the Emperor's solution. The Christian Church was in its infancy at this time and a young priest by the name of Valentine secretly married couples anyway. Emperor Claudius had Valentine arrested for this and later executed him. During his incarceration Valentine either fell in love with or healed the blindness of a young woman, possibly his jailer's daughter. Before dying he wrote her a note, signing it "from your Valentine". Some say he was executed on February 14th but other dates are mentioned as well. While some historians believe that St. Valentine's Day was placed on February 14th to celebrate the anniversary of his death, others believe that the 14th was chosen to "Christianize" the Lupercalian Festivals. Pope Gelasius I, who spent much of his papacy trying to end pagan rites in general and specifically the Lupercalia, declared February 14th St. Valentine's Day around 496 A.D. According to New Advent, an online Catholic Encyclopedia, Gelasius' writing on the subject is one of his few surviving treastises.
In approximately 1380 Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Parliament of Fowles, in which he uses spring and birds' mating in spring to describe the courtship & marriage of Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. St. Valentine figures prominently in Chaucer's verse and is the first known mention of St, Valentine in poetry.
"For this was on Seynt Valentynes day,
Whan every foul cometh theere to chese his make..."
Chaucer also uses Venus and Cupid in this poem and because of this he is credited with starting the tradition of writing love poetry for St. Valentine's Day. The practice of sending St. Valentine's Day greeting spread throughout Europe during the middle Ages and written messages became popular by the 15th Century. After the Battle of Agincourt, Charles, Duc d'Orleans (Duke of Orleans), was incarcerated in Tower of London. In 1415, while a prisoner, he wrote a poem to his wife, Bonne d'Armagnac. This poem is considered to be the oldest existing Valentine. It is now a part of the manuscript collection in the British Library in London. Here it is in its Original French with the English Translation,
Je suis desja d'amour tanné,
Ma tres doulce Valentinée,
Car pour moi fustes trop tart née,
Et moy pour vous estine tost né.
Dieu lui pardoint qui estrené
M'a de vous, pour toute l'année.
Je suis desja d'amour tanné,
Ma tres doulce Valentinée,
Bien m'estoye suspeconné,
Qu'auroye telle estine,
Ains que passast ceste journée,
Combien qu'Amours l'eust ordonné.
Je suis desja d'amour tanné,
Ma tres doulce Valentinée,
I am already sick of love,
My very gentle Valentine,
Since for me you were born too soon,
And I for you was born too late.
God forgives he who has estranged
Me from you for the whole year.
I am already sick of love,
My very gentle Valentine,
Well might I have suspected,
That such a destiny,
Thus would have happened this day,
How much that Love would have commanded.
I am already sick of love,
My very gentle Valentine
Giving gifts and small tokens of affection grew in popularity through the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century it was a common practice in all classes. The advent of cheap postage and envelopes made valentine cards even more popular. In the 1800's the English people had wholeheartedly adopted the practice of sending Valentines many of which were very ornate, incorporating ribbons, lace, pull tabs to create moving figures and pop ups. Artists joined in with their drawings and paintings, most notable In England was Kate Greenaway.
At this time Americans were also sending Valentines and gifts in celebration of the day. They relied on homemade cards or ones imported from England. A young woman named Esther Howland received an elaborate card, imported from England, from one of her father's business associates. She was a recent graduate of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary and was sure she could make something better. She convinced her father, a stationary and book store owner, to buy her supplies and she made elaborate lace covered cards. Her cards sold extremely well in America becoming a major industry. While she didn't invent the Valentine's Day card, she is credited with popularizing the lace valentine and is known as "The Mother of the American Valentine". Her cards are recognized by the red "H" either on a sticker or printed on each card or by an embossed NEV Co (New England Valentine Company) found in later years. Her cards are still widely collected and each February Mount Holyoke College hosts an exhibit of her work. Examples of her cards can be seen on their website http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~dalbino/gcards.html
The American Greeting Card Association estimates that over a billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each year. This is second only to Christmas in number. And, what about other tokens of affection? Those thrive in America as well. The United States Census estimates million of roses are sold wholesale each year. The red rose, said to have been Venus' favorite flower, is the most popular flower bought in the United States for lovers. Chocolates are another favorite. Each year heart shaped boxes filled with chocolates appear in stores all over the country. In 2001, Americans consumed an average of 24 lbs each, much of which is consumed around Valentine's Day. There are over 29000 jewelry stores in America selling wedding and engagement rings as well as other items. According to the U.S. Census Bureau these stores sold .1 billion last February. While today, Valentine's Day is much more commercial than its earlier celebrations it is clearly still thriving in America today. St. Valentine certainly started something big with his hand written note back in the third century.
