1969 - The great blues man Muddy Waters was nearly killed in a car crash near Chicago. Three of his companions in the vehicle were killed in the crash. Waters passed away in 1983, but his influence was tremendous, not just on blues and rhythm and blues but on rock and roll, hard rock, folk music, jazz, and country music.
1981 - Prince gets booed off the stage while opening a show for The Rolling Stones at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. The Stones have good intentions in bringing in a rising star, but his act isn't a good fit for this crowd, and when he opens his trench coat to reveal bikini briefs, it gets ugly. Prince never again performs as an opening act.
