Today in:
1975 - Cher and Gregg Allman were married. The marriage lasted ten days. Seems like a good occasion to haul out this image again.
1976 - Police raided Neil Diamond's house. They didn't find enough marijuana for an arrest, but Diamond did give them copies of his new album, Beautiful Noise.
1978 - Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols released his version of "My Way."
1981 - Jerry Lee Lewis was hospitalized in Memphis because of a stomach ulcer. After two operations, doctors gave him less than a 50-50 chance of recovering. Within a few months, he was back on his feet.
1994 - Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam testified before a congressional hearing concerning rising concert ticket prices.
History Highlight:
Today in 1977, Marvel Comics released a comic book based on the members of Kiss. The band members contributed some of their blood to the ink used in the books. The band's album Love Gun had just been released two weeks earlier, so it seems like a good excuse to play "Christine Sixteen" this morning.
