15 years ago today (in 1995), Courtney Love threw candy at Kathleen Hanna and punched her in the face backstage at the Lollapalooza festival in George, Washington. Nine days later, Love described the incident on an AOL message board post:
“I was speaking to Beckster…Eric comes up behind me “Give some candy to Ratface, she’ll Flip!” He said I turned quickly and she was 2-3 feet from me smugly glaring -“BLECCCCHHHH” I screamed threw the candy in the air and at her, every witness there saw her attack(“”) me first, I do believe eventually my fist-ahhhhh-met her Rathead and it
was orgasmic- too bad the security-oh yeah “MY” security? I’m Axl Rose now? We have a co-tour mgr. who was there…”
Hanna pressed charges and Love ultimately plead guilty to assault later that September.
Happy 4th of July!

On this day in 1983 New Order performed at the historic First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The nightclub is considered to be a cornerstone of the Midwest music scene, and the starting point for virtually every single band to come out of the Twin Cities, including The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Prince. The First Avenue was the nightclub that appeared in Prince’s 1984 film Purple Rain.

On this day in 1963, Bob Dylan was slated to make his first national television appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. He had intended to perform “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues,” a song he wrote lampooning the John Birch Society. During the afternoon rehearsal that day, CBS officials told Dylan they thought the song was unacceptable for broadcast and wanted him to play another. Dylan responded: “No, this is what I want to do. If I can’t play my song, I’d rather not appear on the show.” Then he walked out of the studio and didn’t return.
