1966: A British magistrate calls the Rolling Stones “complete morons, who wear filthy clothes”.

Well, THAT certainly put an end to those uncouth ruffians and their hijinks.

1931: RCA Victor demonstrates the first LP. It flops. Three years later…

1934: RCA Victor releases the first LP record: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Leopold Stowkowski. Hipsters immediately declare that shellac 78’s sound “warmer”.

Cover of the Day:



"Daddy's Little Pumpkin", by John Prine, from his subversive 1991 album "The Missing Years"

Cover by the Drive-By Truckers, from the first of two various-artists tributes to Mr. Prine, "Broken Windows and Dirty Hearts: Songs of John Prine", Vol. 1, 2010

I still remember the words to all the songs on John Prine's debut album. In 1971, my family of choice included a sh*tload of musicians, none of whom were even "country-adjacent." Haha. For months, during jam sessions, someone always broke into "Sam Stone," "Illegal Smile," or "Hello In There."

Today in Musical History, September 18th:

1970: James Marshall Hendrix dies, London, England....

[Angharad]

Arrrgh. Memory fail. I remembered Hendrix dying in, like, '72 or so. I should have remembered the correct year because I graduated from HS in 1970 and went straight into college that summer. Big freedom year.
