June 3
ON THIS DAY IN 1970, THE KINKS’ RAY DAVIES WAS FORCED TO MAKE A 6,000-MILE ROUND TRIP FROM NEW YORK TO LONDON TO RE-RECORD THE WORDS “CHERRY COLA” IN THE SONG “LOLA” AFTER THE BBC REFUSES TO AIR THE SONG WITH THE ORIGINAL WORDS, “COCA-COLA”.
IN 2002, PAUL MCCARTNEY, STING, ELTON JOHN, BRYAN ADAMS, OZZY OSBOURNE, AND OTHERS ALL APPEAR AT THE QUEEN’S GOLDEN JUBILEE CONCERT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN LONDON WHICH CELEBRATED THE 50TH YEAR OF HER REIGN.
AND TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE LATE BILLY POWELL, KEYBOARDIST FOR LYNYRD SKYNYRD, WHO WAS BORN IN 1952.
