April 13
TODAY IN 1974 PAUL MCCARTNEY AND WING’S THIRD LP, ‘BAND ON THE RUN’ TOPPED THE BILLBOARD ALBUM CHART. IT WENT ON TO SELL OVER 6 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE AIDED BY TWO HIT SINGLES, “JET” AND THE TITLE TRACK.
THE FIRST ‘AEROSMITH DAY’ IS OBSERVED TODAY IN 1993 IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AFTER THE BAND IS GIVEN THEIR VERY OWN HOLIDAY. THE PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR WILLIAM WELD HONORED THE BAND’S DEEP-ROOTED CONNECTION TO THE STATE.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO E STREET BAND DRUMMER, MAX WEINBERG, WHO TURNS 73 TODAY.
