1968: Cream recorded “Badge” at Wally Heider Studios in Los Angeles. Written by both Eric Clapton and Beatles guitarist George Harrison, Harrison also joined the band for the recording session to play rhythm guitar. Due to contractual reasons, Harrison was credited on the album with the pseudonym “L’Angelo Misterioso.” The song’s title came from Clapton misreading Harrison’s handwriting on the lyrics sheet, mistaking “bridge” for “badge.”

1889 - The world's first jukebox was installed at San Francisco's' Palais Royale Saloon. The machine was originally called the "nickel-in-the-slot player" by Louis Glass, the entrepreneur who installed it. The machine, built by the Pacific Phonograph Company, featured four stethoscope-like tubes attached to an Edison electric phonograph fitted inside an oak cabinet, meaning four different listeners could be plugged into the same song simultaneously. The machine became known as a "jukebox" later, although the origin of the word remains a bit vague.

1991 - Queen frontman Freddie Mercury issued a statement confirming he has AIDS and calling for help in fighting the disease. "I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me," he wrote. "However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease." Mercury died the next day.
