FEBRUARY 22
ON THIS DAY IN 1977 THE EAGLES RELEASE “HOTEL CALIFORNIA” THE TITLE TRACK FROM THE ALBUM OF THE SAME NAME. WRITTEN BY DON FELDER, DON HENLEY, AND GLENN FREY; THE SONG WON A GRAMMY FOR RECORD OF THE YEAR.
TODAY IN 1978 ‘THE POLICE’ APPEAR IN A WRIGLEY’S CHEWING GUM TV COMMERCIAL WHERE EACH MEMBER OF THE BAND AGREED TO BLEACH THEIR HAIR BLONDE, WHICH BECAME THEIR SIGNATURE LOOK.
AND IN 1993 RADIOHEAD RELEASE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, ‘PABLO HONEY’. THANKS TO THE LEAD SINGLE “CREEP,” IT GRADUALLY EARNS THEM A SUBSTANTIAL FOLLOWING, ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA, WHERE THEY TOUR IN THE SUMMER AND FALL.
