Let me explain since this is the first post. THIS DAY IN ROCK HISTORY is a daily post on this blog where I list significant events in rock history that happened on each day. It's like the THIS DAY IN HISTORY section in your local newspaper, except for the historical events I'm posting are about classic rock. You feel me? Cool. Since there are too many events to list, I am going to pick 5 events each day that stand out to me. Since I'm still in school and have a part-time job, they will most-likely be posted at different times each day. I also have to give credit to This Day In Rock, which is where I'm getting the significant events. You can check them out by clicking here.
