On this day in History:

In 1955, Legendary deejay Alan Freed held his first Rock & Roll Ball in Harlem. The sold-out shows starred Big Joe Turner, The Clovers, Fats Domino, The Drifters, The Moonglows and The Harptones.
In 1960, Elvis Presley was demoted to sergeant in the U.S. Army. But he was still The King.
In 1963, Drummer Charlie Watts made his first onstage appearance with The Rolling Stones at the Flamingo Jazz Club in Soho, London.
In 1966, Britain's David Jones legally changed his last name to David Bowie to avoid confusion with The Monkees' Davy Jones. On this same day, Parlophone Records released the single "Can't Help Thinking About Me" b/w "And I Say To Myself" by David Bowie And The Lower Third.
In 1967, The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane performed at the first "Human Be-In" at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
In 1970, Diana Ross sang with the other two Supremes for the last time at a show in Vegas.
In 1973, Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii, transmitted via satellite, drew the largest worldwide television audience in the history of the medium. Later released as a double album, it became one of Elvis's best selling releases of the '70s.
In 1973, Thunderin' Phil Lesh, bassist for the Grateful Dead, was busted for drug possession in California.
In 1975, Three Dog Night earned a 12th and final Gold disc for their Greatest Hits album. Meanwhile, Joe Walsh got the Gold for his third solo album, So What. Walsh joined up with the Eagles the next year.
In 1978, The Sex Pistols made their final concert appearance, at Winterland Auditorium in San Francisco, before calling it quits. A reunion tour (naturally, without Sid Vicious) in 1996 was disastrous.
In 1985, "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band-Aid, an all-star aggregation, became the U.K.'s biggest selling single ever when sales of three million copies was approached just weeks after its release.
In 1989, Paul McCartney released his album Back In The U.S.S.R. only in Russia. Bootleg copies went for as much as $1,000 here in the States.
In 1993, The Pixies announced that they were breaking up.

One busy day in Rock history. Alot of firsts and lasts.

Bjork needs your help to finish CD for benefit.

Weezer almost done with new CD.

Midnight Oil reunite for benefit.

Best Scotish band ever. I think Teenage Fan Club should be higher and don't even get me started on where they have Jesus and Mary Chain. That is just wrong. You also need to move up the Beta Band and Trashcan Sinatra. Just my humble opinion but I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. Hell maybe I am right now.

Why is it that the wrong people have too much money. I would find a much better way of spending it(like buying a radio station here in NY and create a KEXP for the east coast--just the first thing off the top of my head). It would Not be on a date with a spice girl. Ugh.

Coldplay update on new CD due in March.

Obits of the future.

the human clock. Pics of people at different times of the day.

Time for me to go.
Peace off
