Pink Floyd issue their ninth studio album, "Wish You Were Here". Most of the LP is taken up by "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a nine-part tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band seven years earlier due to mental health issues. With advance sales of 250,000 in Great Britain and 900,000 in America, it would top the charts in both countries, becoming Pink Floyd's fastest-selling album ever.

 
 
 

Police are called to break up a crowd of rowdy teenagers following the showing of the film Rock Around The Clock at the Trocadero Cinema in London, England. The following day, The Times prints a reader's letter that says in part: "The hypnotic rhythm and the wild gestures have a maddening effect on a rhythm loving age group, and the result of its impact is the relaxing of all self control." The film is quickly banned in several English cities.

 

Guns N' Roses enjoyed a number one single with "Sweet Child O' Mine", written for Axl Rose's then girlfriend, Erin Everly, the daughter of The Everly Brothers' eldest sibling, Don Everly.

Last year’s TIRRH was a three-fer so I kinda used up all the good info for today in one post. So today’s post is a fun one.

If you wanna see last year’s post here’s a link

 

An episode of the American TV show Judge Judy airs in which Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten (nee Lydon) appears as the defendant in a case involving drummer Robbie Williams, who sues Rotten for wrongful termination from a recent tour. Williams had claimed that the Sex Pistols owed him $7,000. Rotten said Williams quit and was owed nothing. Judge Judy apparently found Rotten was most credible and ruled in his favor.

 

The Allman Brothers started a five week run at the top of the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart with "Brothers And Sisters", the group's only US #1 LP. Led by the single, "Ramblin' Man", the album sold 760,000 copies in its first three weeks.

The obvious answer is yes, the US will continue to send more and more weapons and bombs to Israel forever. I wish it would end. But it won’t.

So the response to this will be MORE KILLING MACHINES

 

The Guess Who play their final concert at a show in Montreal. Core members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman would return for another tour in 1987. As time went on, a deep rift would develop between Cummings and drummer Garry Peterson, who continued to use the band's name with new players. In 2023, Cummings and Bachman would file a lawsuit to keep Peterson from using their images in ads and posters.

Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting

 

Jimi Hendrix makes his last major concert appearance at the Love and Peace Festival in Puttgarden, Germany. He would pass away under somewhat mysterious circumstances on September 18th, 1970

Even in those cities with it, public transportation is failing. The systems are archaic and outdated.

These fucks are the reason AI advancement is needed. Keep the workers and drop the C-suites in favor of AI replacements. How do you steal 1 million and nobody notices?! Then multiply that question by 42!?

Insert that “change my mind” meme: Brian May’s solos are the reason we rock out so hard to Queen!

But we’re not talking copyright laws, we’re talking Fair Use and I think musicians should be allowed to say, it’s fair use or X and not for Y

Fair Use in Campaigns

I don’t know why or how this keeps coming up. All musicians who want or don’t want their music used by a politician or political party should be on a list. If the song is on the banned list and it’s used, instant fine.

No worries. I think that would be a good fit, different name but same concept
