December 2008, This Day In Rock
This Day in Rock: Novemeber 21st
Rock happenings from November 21st
Happy Friday to you all and welcome to the final edition of Today and Rock for this week. I hope that you are enjoying taking these journeys back into rock history as much as I am, and I'd just like to say thank you for joining me on these adventures.
November 21:
Let's start today off back in 1987. Billboard's top spot on this day was occupied by none other than the master of the sexy sneer, Mr. Billy Idol, with his live version of "Mony Mony". I know those of you who were in high school when this song rocked the top of the charts remember the version that was belted out causing many high schools to ban the song due to it's profane content. However, I'd be willing to wager that if you go catch him on the road, or hit a club that plays it, you can join in singing it out, just like you did in high school! *wink*
The Simpsons have been a household name long before the word "meh" from the show made it into the dictionary. And in 1991 Aerosmith made a guest appearance on the show titled "Flaming Moe's." I haven't played Guitar Hero Areosmith, but wouldn't it be cool if there were a Simpson option to the game where YOU could play as the band at Moe's?
And our final morsel for today takes us to the year 2003 and is for all you Beatlemaniacs. At a London auction, an acoustic Egmond guitar that was bought for the late George Harrison by his father at the price of £3.50, sold for £276,000 ($431,812). This is the very guitar on which Harrison learned to play.
I hope that you will join me next week as we continue to look back at the happenings of music's yesteryear gone by. Until Monday, rock on, and have a fantastical weekend!
