TODAY IN 1971, NEARLY SIX MONTHS AFTER HER DEATH, JANIS JOPLIN REACHES THE TOP OF THE BILLBOARD CHART WITH THE KRIS KRISTOFFERSON’S PENNED TUNE “ME AND BOBBY MCGEE”.
IT WAS JOHN LENNON AND YOKO ONO’S WEDDING DAY IN 1969 AS THEY MARRY AT THE BRITISH CONSULATE OFFICE IN GIBRALTAR. THEY SPENT THEIR HONEYMOON IN AMSTERDAM CAMPAIGNING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL “BED-IN” FOR PEACE.
AND IN 1982 JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS STARTED A SEVEN WEEK RUN AT #1 ON THE US SINGLES CHART WITH “I LOVE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL”. MANY DON’T REALIZE THAT THE SONG IS ACTUALLY A COVER OF A B-SIDE BY ’60S BAND THE ARROWS.
