David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” was released on this day in 1969, timed to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landing. The stunt didn’t work, it wouldn’t become a hit in the US until 1973.
In 1975, Fleetwood Mac released their self-titled tenth album, the first with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. It would go on to sell over 7 million copies.
And in 2000, Lars Ulrich of Metallica appeared before a Senate panel to testify against file-sharing services like Napster. The service was eventually shut down.
