TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: 6/8

A DAY FOR QUITTERS...

It was this day in 1969 that Brian Jones said his goodbyes to the Rolling Stones. Jones was one of the founding members of the group, but claimed he had to leave because of artistic differences.  He did not agree with the direction many members were wanting to go.  (Good thing they never made it anywhere, or he would have been upset.  Oh wait...)





Also on this day, but in 1974, Rick Wakeman announced that he was leaving YES. He was their keyboard player.  (I hope you're not as disturbed by the photo as I am.)





HAPPY BIRTHDAY to KANYE WEST!


This hip-hop mogul turns 31 today.

Here is the video for Kanye West's "Stronger," featuring Daft Punk:
