Diana Ross' two pet dogs are poisoned by rat bait in her dressing room in Philadelphia. (1969)

Head Kink Ray Davies jets from New York to London to re-record one word in the song "Lola." The BBC banned commercial references in songs so instead of "Coca-Cola," Ray had to say "cherry cola." (1970)

George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" is banned by the BBC. (1987)

U2 signs a 10 year, six album deal with Island Records. The deal includes a 25% royalty rate. (1993)

And that's today's "This Day In Rock History!"

4. Of course I won't steal it!

I've got enough schtick of my own. :) I just think this would be a cool thing to use in the classroom when school starts up again.
