Hoo Boy.

Today, in Musical History, June 23rd, 1965: The Kinks play a show, right here in dear ol' Springfield, IL, at the Illinois State Armory.

After the show, they go to the home of the guy who organized the show, a 23-year-old rising star in the Springfield Jaycees, who served them drinks.

The band remembers that his house smelled terrible, and resisted his suggestion that they spend the night, preferring to sleep in their hotel rooms.

A few years later, the Kinks are reminded of the night when their host gains a new kind of notoriety; His name was John Wayne Gacy

Cover Of The Day:



"Rumble", #16 R&B, 6/23/1958 (Link Wray)

"Rumble" was banned on more than a few radio stations, on the grounds that it "glorified teenage delinquency" - a neat trick on it's part, considering that it was an instrumental. Censors are ALWAYS gonna clench their asses and look for any excuse.)

Brownsville Station add a little Zeppelin-style '70's crunch to their version of it, before "70's crunch" was even a thing. From their 1970 debut album, "No B.S."
