In 1969, long hair could be a problem….

On May 20, 1969, Chicago bassist Peter Cetera, after just finishing a tour decided to take in a baseball game to relax. He went to Dodger Stadium in LA, where his beloved Cubs were playing the Dodgers. In the crowd were four Marines who noticed his long hair, didn't like the 'hippie' and beat him so badly that they broke his jaw in 3 places and Peter lost four teeth. He spent five hours in surgery and two days in intensive care.

Because he had to have his jaw wired shut, it changed the way he sang after the wires were removed.

The late 60's were still a dangerous time...

This is downtown Main Street in Moose Jaw right now. One day it was still green and kind of summery...next morning we woke up snowbound. The major highways around MJ are mostly closed. All travel is ill-advised...still goes to show that "you never quite know what's coming in the prairies..."

ON THIS DATE (52 YEARS AGO)
October 4, 1970 - Janis Joplin (b. January 19, 1943) died after an accidental he**in overdose.

Janis Joplin first rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her more soulful and bluesy backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. She was one of the more popular acts at the Monterey Pop Festival and later became one of the major attractions to the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour.

Janis Joplin charted five singles, and other popular songs from her four-year career include "Down On Me", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Coo Coo", "Summertime", "Piece of My Heart", "Turtle Blues", "Ball 'n' Chain", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Maybe", "To Love Somebody", "Kozmic Blues", "Work Me, Lord", "Move Over", "Cry Baby", "A Woman Left Lonely", "Get It While You Can", "My Baby", "Trust Me", "Mercedes Benz", "One Night Stand", "Raise Your Hand" and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".

Joplin was well-known for her performing abilities, and her fans referred to her stage presence as "electric". At the height of her career, she was known as "The Queen of Rock and Roll" as well as "The Queen of Psychedelic Soul", and became known as Pearl amongst her friends. She was also a painter, dancer and music arranger.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Joplin number 46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004, and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

October 4, 1970 -
Joplin's road manager John Cooke goes looking for her when she doesn't turn up for a recording session. When there is no answer at her door, he gets the key from the front desk and finds Joplin dead.

The singer had battled he**in addiction and seemed to have it beat, but while recording her Pearl album, she started taking it again in small doses to get her through the sessions. The recordings went well and were nearly finished when Joplin's musicians, the Full Tilt Boogie Band, put down tracks for the last song, "Buried Alive In The Blues." Joplin liked what she heard and planned to do her vocal the next day. Around 11 p.m., she and the band grab some food and a few drinks at Barney's Beanery, and an hour or so later head to the Landmark, where they are staying.

Joplin is usually on time, so when she doesn't show for the session the next day, her producer Paul Rothchild calls Cooke, who enters her room around 8 p.m. The time of death is estimated at 1:40 a.m. Joplin died because the he**in she got that night from a local dealer was nearly pure, about 10 times stronger than what she was used to.

Stevie Ray Vaughan would have been celebrating his 68th birthday today.

We from time to time say something like "we can describe him in just 5 words...He was Stevie Ray Vaughan". As you can imagine we get a number of people giving us crap for not going into great detail when we do that. The staff and faculty here at The College of Rock and Roll Knowledge are pretty confident that if you're seeing this post, you are well aware of what Stevie did. So, with that said... We can best describe him with just 5 words.... He Was Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Happy Birthday Mr. Vaughan. RIP. Return If Possible.

Barry McGuire’s version of "Eve of Destruction" was released on August 21, 1965.

McGuire's recording was made between July 12 and July 15, 1965. The accompanying musicians were top-tier Los Angeles session players: P. F. Sloan on guitar, Hal Blaine on drums, and Larry Knechtel on bass guitar. The vocal track was thrown on as a rough mix and was not intended to be the final version, but a copy of the recording "leaked" out to a disc jockey, who began playing it. The song was an instant hit, and as a result, the more polished vocal track that was first envisioned was never recorded.

McGuire recalled in later years that "Eve of Destruction" had been recorded in one take on a Tuesday morning, reading lyrics scrawled on a crumpled piece of paper. The following Monday morning he got a phone call from the record company at 7:00 am, telling him to turn on the radio — his song was playing. McGuire's single hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1965.
