This week in rock history is one of the most emotional of the year. December 8 marks both the assassination of John Lennon and the onstage murder of Dimebag Darrell — two tragedies that shook music forever. Otis Redding’s final flight, the Doors’ last concert with Jim Morrison, and Bowie’s release of Young Americans round out a powerful week. Plus, we celebrate huge birthdays including Jim Morrison, Gregg Allman, Phil Collen, Corey Taylor, Dickey Betts, and more.

A week of legends born, icons lost, and music that changed the world. Listen now at TheRockPod.com 🎸
