I had the idea to change this day in rock up just a tad, and rather than start in the past and bring you into the future, that I would start at the end of the list and work backwards.  Sometimes you just feel in a rut and need to break out into something new.  I'm there, feeling the need to just do things differently and add that little twist of breaking out of the norm.

As we just wrapped up the Super Bowl this last weekend, let's take a look at a couple of past musical performances that have their place in sports and music history.  In 2007 for Super Bowl XLI the night kicked off with Bill Joel singing the national anthem and the half time show performance was done by the artist who became known again, who was formerly known as, that is using the name and no longer a symbol...Prince.  In 2004, who will ever forget what happened at THAT half time show when Janet Jackson bared it all....well, maybe not all, but enough for her to be dropped from the line-up of the Grammy Awards that year.



While on the subject of sports, let's change venues from the NFL to the NBA.  If you have ever been to any type of sporting event, you have no doubt disagreed with at least one call made by a referee.  I'm sure that you've yelled at them from your living room, or even from the stands if having attended a live game.  Jimmy Buffett took disagreeing with a ref to a whole new level in 2001 when he was thrown out of New York Knicks/ Miami Heat game for verbally abusing an official.


Now that you've had your dose of the sports and music special, let's move on to music and movies for the second course.



This day in 1978 would see the Bee Gees on the charts with two songs from this 70's classic hit with Night Fever  and with the single that was #1 in America, Stayin' Alive.

And finally, in 1977, Fleetwood Mac released one of the all time best selling albums, Rumors.  The album yielded top 10 hits with:  Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Don't Stop, and You Make Loving Fun.  The album has sold over 18 million copies.

Well, I'd have to say working back in time was kind of fun.  We may have to time warp again in the future.  Have a great day!
