1977: For some unfathomable reason, on this day the city of San Francisco banned electric instruments from all free outdoor concerts. In response, Jefferson Starship cancels an upcoming free concert in Golden Gate Park.
A few years later, Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf write "We Built This City" for the band (now calling itself just Starship) about this event. The song goes on to win a 2011 Rolling Stone Readers’ Poll as “The Worst Song of the 1980s.”
