Music History - March 10

[Dawn]

A very quiet day in music history:

1979 - James Brown played at the Grand Ole Opry.

1988 - Andy Gibb died from myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) following a long battle with cocaine addiction, which had weakened his heart.

1992 - Prince received a lifetime achievement award at the Soul Train Awards.

2000 - Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) and two other people were arrested in New York City after slashing leather goods at Gap store as part of a protest organized by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

I remember this day very well. My best friend and I who were both Andy Gibb fanatics got to stay home from school and mourn.
We just laid on my living room floor all day listening to his records and eating cookies or some nonsense.

It was definitely a shock to learn of his death. Even after all these years, it's still hard to believe that we lost him at such a young age.
