OCTOBER 15 |
HERE’S A LOOK AT TODAY, OCTOBER 15, IN ROCK HISTORY. IN 1988, BON JOVI BEGAN A FOUR-WEEK RUN AT THE TOP OF THE ALBUM CHART WITH “NEW JERSEY”. THE ALBUM PRODUCED FIVE TOP 10 SINGLES INCLUDING “BAD MEDICINE”, “I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU” AND “LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME”.
IT WAS 1994 WHEN ‘R.E.M.’ ENTERED THE BILLBOARD ALBUM CHART AT NO. 1 WITH THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘MONSTER’. IT WAS THEIR NINTH ALBUM AND SONIC SHIFT FROM THE BAND’S PREVIOUS TWO ALBUMS WITH MORE DISTORTED GUITAR TONES AND INCLUDED THE SUCCESSFUL SINGLE, “WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH?”
AND IN 1995 PAUL MCCARTNEY AND HIS WIFE LINDA APPEAR ON AN EPISODE OF ‘THE SIMPSONS’ WHERE THEY HELP LISA BECOME A VEGETARIAN. PAUL’S STIPULATION FOR APPEARING WAS THAT LISA’S DECISION TO BECOME A VEGETARIAN WOULD BE A PERMANENT CHARACTER CHANGE.
