In 1965, the Beatles met Elvis Presley, for the first and only time, at his home in Bel Air, Calif.
In 1968, drummer Keith Moon of the Who drove a car into the swimming pool of a hotel in Flint, Mich., to cap off his birthday celebration.
In 1970, Elton John made his debut in the United States at the Troubadour club in Los Angeles.
Also in 1970, Jimi Hendrix played what was to be his last British concert - at the Isle of Wight Pop Festival off the English coast. Three weeks later, the entertainer died in London.
In 1974, the last episode of "The Brady Bunch" aired on ABC.
In 1987, Michael Jackson's "Bad" album was previewed, four days ahead of its scheduled release, on a radio station in Los Angeles.
In 1990, Sinead O'Connor banned "The Star-Spangled Banner" from her show in New Jersey. In turn, the singer was banned from any future performances at the Garden State Arts Center.

In 1993, the "Late Show" with David Letterman made its debut on CBS.
In 1994, a New York judge signed Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's divorce. Brinkley inspired Joel's hit "Uptown Girl" before their marriage and appeared in the video. They had been married for nine years.
In 1995, James Taylor and ex-wife Carly Simon reunited for their first concert together in 16 years - on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.

Sounds like a case of someone bein' hell when suckin' on that bottle!
Oh yeah! I neva knew that Christie Brinkley was the inspiration behind Billy Joel's song, "Uptown Girl". I still love to listen to that one every now and then.
