PRINCE POSES IN BLACK UNDIES: Until this point, Prince had been just another upstart R&B singer. With the cover of his third album, Dirty Mind-a black and white shot of him giving the camera a comehither look, wearing bikini briefs, a jacket, a bandanna and nothing else, and standing in front of an abstact デザイン that looks a lot like bedsprings-he became something else. It looked (and the album sounded)like a new wave record, and it delivered two clear messages: One was "I don't fit into any category anybody wants to put me in." The other was "I am coming to fuck you, right now." The combination worked well for Prince for the better part pf 20 years.

JUSTIN AND BRITNEY SPLIT: When they split, Britney Spears was pop's reigning princess and Justin Timerblake was a singer for a boy band will little musical credibility adn plummeting commerical prospects. Maybe Brit was weighing JT down? He's since released monster solo albulms, establishing him as a credible superstar on speed dial for rappers hunting for pop crossover. She's released some new material-a relative flop-and spent her time getting married (twice), having kids (twice), entering and ditching rehab, shaving her head, for a while, carrying on a public campaign against wearing underwear.

RAMONES MAKE A RECORD: It is a tale によって four idiots, full of sound and fury, recorded for $6,000. "It was real rushed," Tommy (Ramone) Erdelysi says of recording at Radio City 音楽 Hall's studio. "Very low-budger and quick." Each song got one take: guitarist Johnny played in a gym the Rockettes used for dance rehersal; bassist Dee Dee in the control room; and in another room on drums, Tommy-a guitarist who's never sat behind a kit in his life.

SUGE KNIGHT BAILS OUT TUPAC: Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. started out friends, but their relationship began to crumble when Shakur was shot in late 1994. One 日 before, Shakur was found guilty of sexual assualt and later imprisoned at NYC's Clinton Correctional Facility, where he heard rumors that Biggie had arranged the shooting. Death Row honcho Suge Knight, who had a longtime rivalry with Biggie's mentor P. Diddy, stoked Tupac's anti-B.I.G. rage and-in exchange for signing a contract with Death Row-posted 'Pac's $1.4 million bail. It would prove a Faustian bargain: With Shakur under Knight's wing, the Death Row/Bad Boy feud escalated, diss tracks led to assaults and によって 1997, Pac and Biggie had been murdered-set up, some close to the case contend, によって Knight himself.

STUDIO 54 OPENS: It was the hottest spot of the disco era, a destination where glamorous people, groovy 音楽 and tons of white powder joined forces to change celebrity culture forever. Bianca Jagger, Donald Trump and 11-year-old Brooke Shields hustled across the converted TV studio's parquet floor on its opening night, while Bianca's then-husband Mick and Frank Sinatra were among the hundreds stranded outside. Studio 54 made the party's exclusivity もっと見る important that the party itself-though the party was still awesome. "It was the only club where あなた could have sex." 発言しました Prince Egon von Furstenberg. Unintended Consequences: Paris Hilton

KEITH RICHARDS WRITES THE "(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION" RIFF: One night on the Rolling Stones' third U.S. tour, Richards awoke in his room at the Gulf Motel in Clearwater, Florida, with a riff in his head: He played it into a tape recorder beside the ベッド and went back to sleep. The 次 day, Keith explained to Mick Jagger that the words he'd thought up were "I can't get no satisfaction": neither Keith nor Mick wanted the finished song released as a single, but they were outvoted-it became Stones' first No. 1, and the ascent of the Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World began.

BOB DYLAN LEAVES MINNESOTA: He'd been talking for ages about hitting the road like his idol woody Guthrie, and a few days before Christmas, 19-year-old folk-music buff Bobby Zimmerman finally made his move: He packed up his ギター and harmonica, walked out to Highway 61 and hitched a ride away from the twin cities. Thirty-four days later, "Bob Dylan," as he was now calling himself, arrived in New York and played his first ギグ there, an open mike at Cafe Wha?, begginning his career as the king of the New York folkies.
