Today In Music History: Look Out Below!

1933 - Willie Nelson is 76.
1943 - Singer Bobby Vee is 66.
1966, The Young Rascals went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Good Lovin'.
1977 - Led Zeppelin broke a new world attendance record at a concert when they played to 76,229 people at a gig at the Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac, Michigan. The Who held the previous record at the same venue with 75,962 people.
1983 - Michael Jackson started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Beat It',

On this day in 1976, The Who's drummer Keith Moon paid nine cab drivers to block-off both ends of a New York street so he could throw the contents of his hotel room out of the window. Boy, the 70s really were the glory days of this sort of thing, weren't they? And as far as hotel room distruction goes, Keith Moon was probably its patron saint. We would have been remiss to not play something from The Who today in honor of this fine rock n' roll bad-boy behavior, so we played "5:15" from Quardrophenia.
