Happy birthday to singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell.
On this day in 1968 Jim Morrison demanded from the stage that the crowd at a Doors concert in Phoenix rise to its feet – this prompted the police to consider the standing fans as a "riot" and the band was never to return to Phoenix.
In 1979 the movie the Rose had its premiere in Los Angeles - Bette Midler starred as the overindulgent rock superstar who eventually became the victim of her own success - it was a story loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin.
And in 1988 John Fogerty was found not guilty of plagiarizing himself - his legal bill was $400,000.
In 1970 Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, and the Bob Seger System played Boston College.
Happy birthday to singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell.
