The good, the bad, the shameful. Weekday mornings at 6:20, make time for all the highs and lows in the history of rock and roll, taken on a day-by-day basis by FM 94/9 rock scholar Tommy in This Day In Music History. From the rock era's greatest albums and greatest moments, to "utterly botched tokens of sincerity," you've never heard history dispensed like this.

1/4/2010

It was on this date in 2003 Joe Strummer was cremated; Barry Gibb moved into Johnny Cash's house in 2006; Bruce Springsteen began recording his classic 1982 folk set Nebraska; Nirvana was signed to Geffen Records in 1991 (for whom they would ultimately record the generational template Nevermind a few months later); Keith Moon drove over his chauffeur in 1970; and Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott died in 1986: "The cowboy's life is the life for me." Indeed. As Eddie Spaghetti says, "put on your rock star sunglasses." Rest easy Phil, and enjoy today's edition of This Day In Music History.
