On this day in 1968, Rolling Stone Magazine published a Pete Townshend interview where he mentions his idea for a rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind boy. It was the first hint of what would become “Tommy.”
Today in 1974, Eric Clapton was #1 on the singles charts with his cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff.”
And Happy Birthday to Zak Starkey, Ringo Starr’s son, long time drummer for The Who and several other artists. He turns 56 today.
