Stones displace Beatles -- Zimmy works fast!!! -- Aerosmith in a gymnasium...

11/6/1965 (50 years ago today) - The Rolling Stones knock The Beatles out of the No. 1 spot on the U.S. singles chart: it's goodbye to "Yesterday" and hello to "Get Off Of My Cloud" which stays at the top for two weeks in a row. The "Satisfaction" follow-up single also hits No. 1 in England and Germany, No. 2 in Australia and Ireland. Good old days indeed...

11/6/1967 (48 years ago today) - He knows what he wants, and he gets it done pretty quickly: During a three-hour session at Nashville's Columbia Studios, Bob Dylan knocks off the first recorded versions of "All Along The Watchtower" and "John Wesley Harding". No muss, no fuss...

11/6/1970 (45 years ago today) - Aerosmith perform their first ever gig at the Nipmuc Regional High School gym in Mendon, Mass.; they were the opening act for a "hot" local outfit called The Joneses with ticket prices starting at $1.25! Steven and the boys totally crushed 'em. Within weeks (days, even), word spreads like wildfire about these 'Bad Boys From Boston' that just might be America's answer to The Rolling Stones. If you were in a Massachusetts high school in the early '70's then you can remember feeling it in the air -- "we absolutely have got to go check out this band" -- Aero-mania is about to erupt!!!
