I'm compiling a Rock & Roll chronology. Your help needed. [View all]

1920s - Chicago died: a man named Al Capone tried to make that town his own and called his gang to war with the forces of the law. Some officers, upon returning home after the shoot out, kissed their wives' faces.

Late December, 1963 - During a very special time for him, Frankie Valli had a sexual liaison with a woman whose name he was later unable to recall. However the experience changed him.

Summer of 1969 - Bryan Adams got his first real six string, leading to minor injuries on his fingers. Subsequently, Jimmy quit and Jody got married. Despite such set-backs, the summer turned out to be the best days of Adams's life.
