This Day in Music

Here are some of the fun things that have happened in the music world on October 3rd.

First off, Happy Birthday to Eddie Cochran, Chubby Checker, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tommy Lee, and Gwen Stefani!

On this day in 1945, 10-year old Elvis Presley made his first public appearance at the Mississippi Alabama Dairy Show. He took second in the talent competition.

On this day in 1978, Aerosmith bailed 30 fans out of jail who had been arrested for smoking pot during a concert in Indiana. How nice.

Apparently in 1997 a court battle began on this day between Garth Brooks and Warren G over the trademark of the letter "G." I wasn't aware you could copyright a letter of the alphabet.

And of course some not so fun things happened on October 3rd as well.

In 1967, folk singer Woody Guthrie passed away. Benjamin Orr of the Cars died at age 53 in 2000 as well.

Just some facts for you folks!
