Birthdays:

Glenn Frey of The Eagles is 61.
Corey Glover of Living Colour is 45.

Today in:

1967 - During a three hour session Bob Dylan recorded "All Along The Watchtower" and "John Wesley Harding" at Columbia Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
1970 - Aerosmith performed their first ever gig when they played at Nipmuc Regional High School in Mendon, Massachusetts.
1973 - Singer Gram Parsons' manager, Phil Kaufman, was fined $300 for stealing Parsons' body from the Los Angeles International Airport. The body was cremated instead of being taken to Parsons' funeral. Kaufman claimed that it was Parsons' wish to be cremated.
1975 - The Sex Pistols played their first concert, at a London art school dance. Ten minutes into it, the school social programmer unplugged their amps.

Music history highlight:

Today in 1968, Joe Cocker was at No.1 in the UK singles chart with his version of The Beatles song "With A Little Help From My Friends". Cocker's rendition of this song became one of his signature tunes (not to mention a target for easy parody by the likes of John Belushi in his awesome Joe Cocker impersonation).

Isn't it "What would you DO if I sang out of tune?" :-P

Actually, it's "What would you THINK if I sang out of tune?"

When "Sgt. Pepper's" came out there was a big to-do about the album's supposedly promoting homosexuality. I think the relevant song was "What Would You Think If I Sang Out Of Tune."
