Hey folks. Well, it took a little more time than I thought but I was finally able to get this new show off the ground. It’s called “Stuck in the 70s”. Each week will feature rock music from a different year from the decade beginning with 1970 and ending with, you guessed it, 1979.This being the first show, we took a look at the year that kicked of the decade. 1970 brings us the break up of The Beatles, the largest rock and roll concert ever with over 600,000 in attendance at The Isle Of Wight festival, the deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and debut album releases from Black Sabbath, Curtis Mayfield, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer to name a few.
