On this day , December 2 1986
Rock-and-roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis, 51, has been hospitalized in Nashville for drug detoxification and is expected to enter the Betty Ford Center in California for further treatment later in the week. According to his longtime manager Al Embry, Lewis voluntarily sought help after developing a dependence on painkillers, which he began taking for a severely painful dislocated shoulder that made it difficult for him to perform.

Embry explained that Lewis’ tolerance to the medication kept increasing, prompting concern, especially with major concert commitments approaching. Despite public assumptions, Lewis does not drink alcohol. He was also treated for a minor leg infection upon arriving in Nashville.

Lewis will complete detoxification before transferring to the Betty Ford Center, known for treating many high-profile celebrities struggling with substance abuse.

A major figure in rock music since the 1950s with hits like “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” Lewis has also faced a tumultuous personal life, marked by multiple marriages, family tragedies, health issues, and legal troubles with the IRS.

1 DECEMBER
1958
Life magazine becomes the first major publication to print the phrase "teen idol" when they use it to describe their cover subject, Ricky Nelson.
Nelson, whose claim to fame was starring in his parents' long-running radio and television series The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, released his debut album, the chart-topping Ricky, the previous year. By the summer of 1958, his single "Poor Little Fool" was the first #1 hit on newly minted Billboard Hot 100 chart

He’s insprired guitarists as diverse as Hank Marvin and Albert Lee. He’s played with musicians from Rick Nelson to Emmylou Harris and from Elvis Presley to Elvis Costello. He is JAMES BURTON, surely the original guitar heroes’ guitar hero.

Sander Lloyd Nelson (December 1, 1938 – February 14, 2022)
Today we remember Sandy Nelson, one of the most influential drummers in early rock & roll history.
With hits like “Teen Beat” and “Let There Be Drums,” Nelson proved that percussion could take center stage—not just keep time. His raw energy, inventive rhythms, and unmistakable feel inspired generations of drummers and helped shape the sound of an era.

Nelson’s playing was bold, expressive, and deeply musical, reminding us that drums can tell a story all on their own. Even after a tragic accident cost him part of his right leg, his passion never faded; he continued recording and playing with undiminished spirit.

Sandy Nelson’s legacy lives on in every drummer who dares to push boundaries and let rhythm lead the way.
Thank you, Sandy, for the beats that still echo. 🥁✨

🌟 50 Years Later… and the Magic Is Still There 🌟

There’s something truly special about this photo.
On top, a moment frozen in 1975—three young stars who helped bring one of the most beloved TV worlds to life. A time of leather jackets, bright smiles, and unforgettable “Happy Days.”

And below…
A picture taken just a few days ago in San Francisco.
Same energy.
Same smiles.
Same friendship—50 years later.

Time has passed, life has changed, but the connection?
Still shining just as brightly.

This isn’t just nostalgia…
It’s a reminder that some bonds last a lifetime, and some memories stay with us forever. ❤️
