1977: The king is dead. Elvis Presley died on this day at his Graceland home in Memphis. Although the initial autopsy lists the cause of death as cardiac arrhythmia, it is later revealed that Elvis died from a massive overdose of at least ten prescription drugs with amounts of many more being found in his bloodstream. Within months, the sad reports of the singer’s descent into drug abuse and obesity would begin flooding the popular media.
1981: The British Phonographic Industry, with the endorsement of artists including Elton John, Cliff Richard, and 10cc, takes out ads in the British press claiming that “home taping is wiping out music.”
They had no idea what was waiting right around the corner as the internet was gathering steam.
As of this posting (44 years on), music does not appear to have been wiped out.
