Better late than never, kids. Here’s your lesson from The College of Rock n’ Roll knowledge.
Here’s today’s lesson:

January 29, 1962: Peter, Paul & Mary signned on with Warner Brothers Records.

Also on this day, The Bobby Fuller Four released the great song I Fought The Law.
January 29, 1972: Smokey Robinson left the Miracles for a solo career.
Also on this day, Al Green spent a fourth week at #1 on the R & B chart with Let’s Stay Together.
The triple album set Concert For Bangladesh hits #1. It features George Harrison, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar, and many others. The concert itself was the very first of its kind in the world.

It is indeed a slow day in the College, and I acknowledge that. But please tell me why the fuck I should care if Madonna goes to a museum with her daughter? Let’s not show our desperation for informaton.
I will be back with the line up soon!
