Today in Rock History 3/17

Here's your St Patrick's Day look at 'Today in Rock History' featuring: Lead singer of The Darkness, Justin Hawkins is 45. Retired women's soccer star, Mia Hamm is 48. Billy Corgan is 53. Rob Lowe is 56. Gary Sinise is 65. Paul Kantner from Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship was born today in 1941. It's because he left the band in 1984 that the other members renamed themselves Starship. So technically, Paul Kantner was responsible for "We Built This City." And for that, I will never forgive him. Not even in DEATH. Today in 432, ST. PATRICK died . . . sort of. It was uncertain whether he passed away on March 8th or the 9th... so church officials added the dates, making St. Patrick's Day March 17th. In 1998, Van Halen released the mediocre album "3", featuring the mediocre vocal stylings of Extreme singer Gary Cherone. In 1999, a panel of experts concluded that"MARIJUANA HAS MEDICAL BENEFITS" for people suffering from cancer and AIDS.
