OCTOBER 2
ON THIS DAY IN 1965, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ROCK ACTS OF ALL TIME MADE THEIR U.S. TV DEBUT. THE WHO APPEARED ON “SHINDIG!”, PERFORMING THEIR HIT, “I CAN’T EXPLAIN.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STING OF THE POLICE, FORMALLY KNOWN AS GORDON SUMNER, WHO WAS BORN IN 1951.
AND TODAY IN 2017, JUST A WEEK AFTER COMPLETING HIS 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR WITH THE HEARTBREAKERS, TOM PETTY DIED AFTER GOING INTO CARDIAC ARREST AT HIS HOME IN LOS ANGELES. HE WAS 66 YEARS OLD.
