1974 - "The Joker," by the Steve Miller Band, was the #1 single in the land.

2000 - Sharon Osbourne, who had been managing Smashing Pumpkins, broke off with the Chicago rock quartet. In a statement, Osbourne said, "It was with great pride and enthusiasm that I took on management of the Pumpkins back in October, but unfortunately I must resign today due to medical reasons. Billy Corgan was making me sick!"

In 2003, Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees died at a Miami hospital. He was 53. He had suffered a heart attack three days before prior to undergoing emergency abdominal surgery.

History Lowlight:
Today in 2002, '80s star Adam Ant was arrested after an alleged incident in a London pub where he was charged with assault and possession of a firearm, and also faced charges of criminal damage and actual bodily harm after the alleged incident. Yes, this is the story where he threw a car alternator threw the pub window. It's become one of our favorite stories to tell on The Current Morning Show.
