May 22nd, 1971 The Rolling Stones go to the top of the charts with their album “Sticky Fingers.” The original concept for the album featured an image with an oil can. But they ended up getting Andy Warhol to design the cover that was used. And it showed a man wearing a pair of pants that had a working zipper on it.
Today in 1968 Cream’s album “Disraeli Gears” is certified Gold.
On this date in 1954 Robert Zimmerman is bar mitzvahed in Hibbing, Minnesota. You might know him better as Bob Dylan.
