This Day In Rock

Hello friends and welcome to This Day In Rock. It is Thursday and this busy week is flying by quickly so lets get down to business and take that walk down musical memory lane!

In this day in 1955 James Dean Made a public service type of message for television urging teenagers to drive safely. Ironically he would be killed in a auto accident by the end of the month.

Money talks because in this day in 1964 the Beatles played a concert in Kansas when offered $150,000 on their day off!


In 1967 The Doors appeared on Ed Sullivan with the agreement that Jim Morrison change some of the words to "Light My Fire". When Morrison sang the original words Ed Sullivan was furious an vowed that they would never appear on his show again.

The Fifth Dimension are awarded their second gold record in 1968.

In 1969 The worldwide media runs rampant with false reports that That Paul McCartney is dead and that a double had been filling in for him! The whole charade is ended when a reporter contacts McCartney at his home confirming he is indeed alive.

On this day in 1997 Fleetwood Mac begin a successful Reunion tour.

On this day in 2007 Barry Manilow canceled his appearance on The daytime TV show "The View" because producers refused to comply with his request that he would not be interviewed by conservative host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

well friends that's all for today until tomorrow...

PEACE!!!
