This Day in Rock History - Jan. 31st

1959: Just days before their tragic deaths, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper play a concert date in Duluth, Minnesota. A young lad by the name of Robert Zimmerman is in the audience and is so impressed that he decides that night that he wants to pursue a career in music.

Of course, we know Mr. Zimmerman today as Bob Dylan.
