Today is the 60th birthday of Kate Bush. She wrote her first big hit "Wuthering Heights" when she was 18 years old after watching the end of a documentary about Emily Bronte's novel of the same name. Some of the lyrics in the song are drawn directly from the novel.
Before it was released, Prince contacted Journey because he was concerned that "Purple Rain" unintentionally borrowed some elements from their song "Faithfully."
It's been forty years since the rock band Def Leppard played its first live show for the public. The gig was at a school in Sheffield, England — and reportedly took place in the dining hall.
The band's current lineup is still performing, and they're on tour right now with the band Journey. Their show comes to Target Field in Minneapolis next week.
