1967: Britain’s new Marine Broadcasting Offenses Act goes into effect, effectively forcing a shutdown of all of the “pirate stations” that had been broadcasting from ships or platforms off the British coast. The pirates, patterned after American Top 40 stations, started because of the BBC’s reluctance to program rock & roll. The BBC did not take kindly to having their monopoly interfered with.
Radio Caroline manages to defy the order for another 6 months.
1973: After years of increasing tension between The Everly Brothers, Phil Everly storms off stage during the duo’s concert at Knott’s Berry Farm in California.
The two would not perform together again for ten years, finally reuniting in 1983 with a show at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
