1964: The Beatles attend a birthday party for Roy Orbison in London (Orbison had actually turned 28 three days earlier). That night, the group headlines the poll winner's concert for the magazine New Musical Express, which also features fan favorites The Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark Five. oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/april26.htm |

1967: Janis Ian, then only sixteen, appears on Leonard Bernstein's CBS special Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, singing her single from a year earlier, "Society's Child." Though the song, which details a forbidden interracial relationship, was banned from airwaves in its initial run, this exposure turns it into a Top 20 hit.
To me, 1967 seems like yesterday sometimes. But then I read garbage like this where a song is banned because it depicts an interracial relationship, and I realise how backward we really were then, and how far we've come!
