You may not remember what you were doing on October 27th, 1975, but you can bet Bruce Springsteen does. This date is the day he appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. “Born to Run” his groundbreaking album was climbing the charts, and the Time cover proved Bruce was the future of rock and roll. “Greetings from Asbury Park” was a wonderful album that was turning into a cult LP, but the Time magazine cover officially sounded the death knell of Disco, the genre that had its stranglehold on music in the 70s.

June 1st, 1967 was the release date of the Beatles “Sgt. Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Band” LP, changing music again (The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was the 1st shot heard around the music world). No one had ever heard such ‘psychedelic’ sounds, seen such crazy album covers, or witnessed rocks original concept album.

July 5th, 1954 was the day an unknown singer named Elvis walked into Sun Records in Memphis and recorded “That’s All Right,” the first million seller of rock. If Elvis had remained a truck driver and not recorded this song, we might have waited 20 more years for our first rock idol.
