Today: In 1923, Fiddlin' John Carson recorded "The Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane". Now there's a foot tapper.
Then all on the same day in 1965, legends started.

Bob Dylan recorded "Like A Rolling Stone."

And
The Grateful Dead released their "Workingman's Dead" LP with no billboard at all!

In 1971 The first Hard Rock Cafe opened in London, .
In 1980 Meat Loaf starred in a movie: "Roadie"
The "No Nukes" concert took place at The Hollywood Bowl in 1981.

In 1988 The Fat Boys filed a $5 million law suit against Miller Beer and Joe Piscopo for using their likeness in a Miller Lite "Rappin "Fats" Piscopo commercial.
And then they went to lunch.
