FEBRUARY 22
ON THIS DAY IN 1978, THE POLICE APPEARED IN A COMMERCIAL FOR WRIGLEY’S SPEARMINT GUM. THEY EVEN DYED THEIR HAIR BLONDE FOR THE AD, WHICH BECAME AN EARLY TRADEMARK OF THE BAND, BUT THE FOOTAGE WAS NEVER USED.
TODAY IN 1983 STYX RELEASE THEIR ELEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘KILROY WAS HERE’ FEATURING THE HIT SINGLES “MR. ROBOTO” AND “DON’T LET IT END”.
AND IN 1992 THE ‘RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS’ PERFORM “STONE COLD BUSH” AND “UNDER THE BRIDGE” ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
