In 1963

In 1966
Paul McCartney was supposedly killed in a car crash. (I'm not sure that was ever proven)

In 1967
Byrds frontman Roger McGuinn kicked David Crosby out of the group.  He was replaced by Gene Clark. (Hey, how did that work out for The Byrds)

In 1968
Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant married his girlfriend, Maureen.  The couple's wedding reception took place at a Zeppelin gig at the Roundhouse in London.

In 1973
Billy Joel released his breakthrough album "Piano Man."

Cat Stevens made his national TV debut, performing on ABC's "In Concert."

In 1974
Bachman-Turner Overdrive hit number one on the pop singles chart with "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet."

In 1993
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee was arrested for trying to conceal a gun on an airplane.

It always amazes me that these celebrities think they can hide a weapon when they get on a plane. They always, ALWAYS get caught. And what's the first thing they always say? ('Oh, jee wiz, I forgot that was in there').. ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?

Come up with another excuse for a change. Maybe 'my dog put it in there,' or 'it looks like Tommy Lee's luggage but it ain't mine!'

My God, these rock stars are about as intelligent as someone trying to drown a fish. And people will routinely take voting advice from these people who more than likely, never graduated from high school.

According to Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, a Washington research group that promotes what it refers to as centrist views on “divisive social issues,” among them constitutional gun rights, “When people become accustomed to carrying their firearms everywhere they go, even in places like churches and schools in certain states, they can just simply forget they have them,”

Listen, if you can remember to NOT TAKE a large bottle of shampoo on a plane, you should be able to remember to leave your .45 at home. Hey, it's just my opinion.... but it's the only one that counts to me!
