DECEMBER 8
SADLY IN 1980, THE WORLD MOURNS AS JOHN LENNON IS SHOT OUTSIDE HIS HOME AT THE DAKOTA APARTMENT BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY, JUST TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS 40TH BIRTHDAY.
TODAY IN 1976 THE EAGLES RELEASED THEIR FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘HOTEL CALIFORNIA’, THEIR FIRST ALBUM WITH GUITARIST JOE WALSH, AND THE LAST TO FEATURE FOUNDING BASSIST RANDY MEISNER. IT YIELDED TWO #1 SINGLES AND WENT ON TO BECOME ONE OF THE BEST SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME WITH OVER 30 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE.
IN 1979, THE POLICE HAD THEIR SECOND NUMBER ONE SINGLE WITH “WALKING ON THE MOON,” TAKEN FROM THEIR SECOND ALBUM ‘REGGATTA DE BLANC’. THE VIDEO FOR THE SONG WAS FILMED AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER INTERSPERSED WITH NASA FOOTAGE.
