It was on this date in 1974 that fists were flying at a Lynyrd Skynyrd/Blue Oyster Cult concert!

Halfway through Skynyrd's set that night the sound magically disappeared.  Roadies with Lynyrd Skynyrd converged on the sound engineers for Blue Oyster Cult and it just turned into a big rowdy rock n' roll street fight.  Cops were called in to break it up.  So, today we have TWO bands as the I-95 Band of the Day!  Listen for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blue Oyster Cult all day!  And let's relive this infamous battle of the bands, vote for your favorite below!

Born on this day in 1947 was Marc Bolan of the band T. Rex, one of the original glam rockers!  Get It On (Bang A Gong) was the group's biggest hit, although as the years have gone by 20th Century Boy has gained in popularity, mainly due to a car commercial on TV.  Bolan died a couple of days before his 30th birthday in 1977 when the car he was riding in and driven by his girlfriend struck a tree one night in England.
