Today in history 10-13

1992 - The U.S. Supreme Court rules that the families of two teenage suicide victims could not sue Ozzy Osbourne for allegedly inspiring their sons to kill themselves through the song "Suicide Solution."

After the decision, the parent's of the two teens attempted to have the judge killed. When asked why they did it, one parent responded: "In the Frank Sinatra song "Swingin on a star", he sings "A mule is an animal with long funny ears, He kicks up at anything he hears. His back is brawny - and his brain is weak, He's just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak"... don't you get it? Frank was saying that the judge was weak and plain stupid! He wanted us to kill the judge!"

Hidden meanings?

The part about Ozzy is true, I made the whole other part up. Or did I?



1970 - Janis Joplin's ashes are scattered off the coast of California.

Three weeks later it is reported that "scores of fish" are being washed up on the beach in the same area. When tested to determine the cause, officials report that the fish are dying of "acute heroin over-dosage". Keith Richards decides to move to the coast of California.




1975 - Neil Young undergoes surgery in Los Angeles. An "object" is scraped from his vocal chords, which had been bothering him.

Interestingly enough, millions of people through the years have said that Neil's vocal chords have bothered them.





1998 - The Crossroads Center in Antigua, a $6.5 million addiction recovery center underwritten by Eric Clapton, opens. The center offers an intensive 29-day recovery program for $9,000. Those who can't pay are expected to work off the debt after treatment.

Let's see. That's $9,000 for 29 days which equals out to $310 a day. Considering what Eric charges for a concert, that is like seeing him every day for 29 days in a row. I guess I would take the 29 concerts. If seeing Eric Clapton playing schlocky blues riffs and slow tiresome renditions of his old hits for 29 days doesn't cure ya, no fucking hospital with "experts" yappin' about "12-steppin'" is going to.








2005 - Tommy Lee is injured during a pyrotechnics display at a Motley Crue concert in Casper, Wyo. He is treated at a nearby hospital, but the drummer's injuries are not serious.

Ok, who in the hell is responsible for not setting Tommy's drums up a little closer to the fucking explosives? x(





2003 - Tickets for the reunited Duran Duran's U.K. comeback show at London's Kentish Town Forum sell out in four minutes.

Four minutes?!!! WTF? Oh, ok... I see
Below, a picture of "London's Kentish Town Forum":




1978 - Led Zeppelin begin rehearsing in preparation for a new album. The band would release In Through the Out Door in 1979.

It is one of the most awesome band's most awesome album in their most awesome career. Zeppelin is so awesome that I have all their album covers tattooed on my ass. (Better LynneSin?) :)








1947 - Happy birthday to the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar. Sammy was once in a real band called Montrose. He then did some really shitty songs on his own. Then he joined up with Van Halen and became one of the lead actors in one of music's corniest soap operas ever.

Hey Sammy, thanks for your contribution. :eyes:





1925 - Happy Birthday to Lenny Bruce. Lenny was a "comic" who was controversial. They found him in August of 1966 laying in his bathroom half naked with a syringe sticking out of his arm. That wasn't very funny.





2001 - A 29 year-old man was arrested by Dutch police on suspicion of sending indecent and threatening messages to Spice Girl Mel C. The mail was alleged to be sexually explicit and included a death threat.

These days, Mel C is currently running an ad in London papers asking for anyone.... anywhere to start sending her something... anything...


She is one of these below:




2000 - UK daily newspaper The Mirror reported that Toni Braxton had pulled out of this years US Mobo awards after one of her breast implants had exploded.

All I can say is :spray: (Yeah yeah yeah, I know... but come on)






1948 - Happy Birthday to John Ford Coley.

"Now I'm not talking 'bout movin' in, and I don't want to change your life. But there's a warm wind blowing, The stars are out, and you probably wish we knew who you are."






1792 - The White House - Construction began with the laying of the cornerstone on October 13, 1792. 214 years later we have an idiot laying stoned in the corner most of the time.

The first White House:
