Why June 8th Matters In Rock History
It’s June 8th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
- In 1991, Bruce Springsteen married E Street Band member Patti Scialfa. They’d go on to have three children together.
- In 1969, Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones quit the band. He died a month later.
- In 1985, Tears For Fears began a two-week run on top of the singles chart with “Everybody Wants To Rule The World.”
- In 1974, keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman left Yes.
- In 2003, Led Zeppelin had the No. 1 album in the country with their live set, How The West Was Won.
- And in 1991, Extreme went to No. 1 on the singles chart with “More Than Words.”
And that’s what happened today in rock history.
