This crude marketing ploy utilizing past Vee Jay licensing deals fails to electrify the public. 1964 Radio One, which plays Rock ‘n’ Roll, airs in England. 1967 The Beatles “Abbey Road” is released in the U.S. 1969 1970s Jimi Hendrix is buried in Renton - just south of his Seattle hometown. 1970 1990s Nirvana’s collection of live recordings “From The Muddy Banks of Wishkah” is released. 1996 Matchbox 20 unfurls “Yourself Or Someone Like You.” The album contains the group’s first hit “Real World.” 1996 2000s Helmet finally starts touring again with a show in Buffalo. Singer-guitarist Page Hamilton suffered a broken collarbone in a mountain-biking accident that delayed both the release of their album, "Size Matters" and their tour. 2004 R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow, Crosby, Stills & Nash and John Fogerty head out on the "Vote For Change" tour. The artists want to oust President Bush from the White House. The economy is struggling, the war in Iraq is a disaster and Bush likes Country music - so why not? 2004 "Stoners" premieres at New York`s Coney Island Film Festival. Music from Pink Floyd`s ’94 release “The Division Bell” album appears on the film`s soundtrack. The documentary revolves around an elaborate Internet-based puzzle game called “The Stone,” which was inspired by the Floyd CD. 2004 Smoke on the Water: The Deep Purple Story is published. The tome covers the group from inception in 1968 to 2003. There are interviews with band members and lifelong fans. 2004 The remnants of two great southern Rock bands hit the road. The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd share their first co-headlining tour. 2004 It’ll be coach for you Ms. Love! Courtney Love is sued by a Los Angeles travel agency for almost $50,000 worth of unpaid airline tickets and services. This kind of thing could get a person banned from first class. 2004
