Are you ready to learn some stuff? It’s May 22nd and here’s what happened Today in Rock History!
Starting off with releases, we got There Goes Rhymin’ Simon from Paul Simon in 1973 and The Miracle from Queen in 1989
We also got the theatrical release of the Elton John biopic Rocketman in 2019! And speaking Elton, it’s Bernie Taupin’s birthday today! Taupin is the lyricist and writing partner of Elton John and helped write many of John’s hits.
In 2011, during an investigation of the Tennessee home of former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent, police found four dead dogs in ‘sealed containers’. The investigation led to Vincent’s arrest on charges of assault and he was later released after posting $10,000 bond.
In 1971, The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers hits No. 1 in the US.
In 2009, Meg White of the White Stripes married Jackson Smith in the backyard of ex-husband and bandmate Jack White’s house. The event was a double wedding. The other wedding was for Jo McCaughey and Jack Lawrence (the bass player for Jack White’s other bands The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather).
Yep that’s it. SUUUUUUUUUUPER slow day today. Maybe tomorrow will be better…
This has been Today in Rock History! Keep on Rocking, keep on Rolling! Check back tomorrow for your next rock history lesson!
