1977 - Steve Perry joined Journey for their first public concert together, in San Francisco.
1997 - R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry announced that he was leaving the group after 17 years, becoming a farmer.
Singer Ben Harper is the big 4-0 today, born in 1969 in Claremont, California. A tip-of-the-hat to Ben this morning, as we played "In The Colors."
