JUNE 15
TODAY IN 1989 NIRVANA RELEASES THEIR DEBUT ALBUM ‘BLEACH’. THE IDEA FOR THE ALBUM TITLE CAME FROM A POSTER ‘BLEACH YOUR WORKS’ URGING DRUG USERS TO BLEACH THEIR NEEDLES.
BOB DYLAN STARTED RECORDING “LIKE A ROLLING STONE,” ON THIS DAY IN 1965 AS PART OF HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM “HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED”. A YOUNG SESSION MUSICIAN NAMED AL KOOPER, WHO WENT ON TO FORM “BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS” PLAYED THE NOW ICONIC ORGAN.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEVE WALSH, FOUNDING VOCALIST FOR KANSAS, WHO WAS BORN IN 1951.
