Today In Music History: Robert and Jimmy Get Inappropriate

Birthdays:

Singer-drummer Levon Helm of The Band is 70.
Singer Stevie Nicks is 62.
Country singer Hank Williams Junior is 61.
Singer Lenny Kravitz is 46.


Today in:

1958 - Jerry Lee Lewis played the third and last show of what was supposed to have been a 37-date British tour. News of his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin prompted demands that he be deported. That night he was booed off the stage.
1966 - The Beatles and The Stones were in attendance as Bob Dylan and The Hawks (The Band) rocked the Royal Albert Hall in London. The concert, often bootlegged before it was officially released many years later, is considered to be one of the all-time memorable live rock performances.
1994 - Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were married in the Dominican Republic. Presley filed for divorce in January 1996.


History Highlight:

ON this day in 1976, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, apparently well lubricated, verbally accosted first class passengers on a transatlantic flight. Actors Telly Savalas and Dudley Moore were on board the flight and attested to the boys' bad behavior. So, we guess that calls for some down n' dirty musical seduction from the fellas this morning: we played Led Zeppelin's "I Can't Quit You Baby."
