Good Morning! March 19, 2014 TODAY IN ROCK HISTORY; Jefferson Airplane becomes Jefferson Starship. Should have pulled the plug instead. 1974 “Dressed To Kill,” from KISS, is out. The album goes gold. 1975 Free guitarist Paul Kossoff dies from undetermined causes at the age of twenty-six on a London-to-New York flight. He had a history of heart disease. 1976 Ozzy Osbournes guitarist and former Quiet Riot member Randy Rhoads was killed when the plane he was riding in crashed. After driving much of the night, the band had stopped near a small airstrip. The tour bus driver, Andrew Aycock, talked the bands keyboardist, Don Airey, into taking a test flight in a 55 Beechcraft Bonanza, the joyride ended, and the plane landed safely. Then Aycock took Rhoads and Rachel Youngblood on another flight and attempts were made to buzz the tour bus. The left wing clipped the bus, which sent the plane spiralling into a nearby house and bursting into flames. All three bodies were burned beyond recognition, and were identified by dental records. 1982 The second Beatles Anthology series was released. The album featured Real Love, a track the remaining members of the Beatles recorded using an old demo track of John Lennons. The song was first recorded by Lennon in 1977 with a handheld tape recorder on his piano at home, it originated as part of an unfinished stage play that Lennon was working on at the time entitled The Ballad of John and Yoko. 1996
