1955 : LaVern Baker sends a formal appeal letter to the US Congress to appeal a 1954 decision denying black artists a revision of the 1909 Copyright Act, a move which would make it harder for white pop artists to record exact copies of R&B hits and thus steal their thunder. Her appeal is turned down.

1955: For the first time, the 45 rpm vinyl single begins outselling the previous industry standard 78 rpm record.

1970: Oklahoma City officials fine Jefferson Airplane #1,000 for using profanity onstage during their show.

1970: Elvis Presley plays his first-ever stadium gig with an afternoon show at the Texas Livestock Show that leaves him personally and professionally unfulfilled: the concert, held on a weekday, is sparsely attended, and the rotating stage in the Astrodome leaves him, in his own words, "singing to a cow." The evening show, however, would break all attendance records and restore Elvis' confidence in himself fully.

1977: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police wake Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards from his sleep at the Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto, and charge him with illegal drug possession: 5 grams of cocaine, 22 grams of heroin, and assorted paraphernalia. Bail is set at $25,000.
