This week on the show, host Sara J is continuing a listener-favorite format with another deep dive into unforgettable moments in music history—this time spanning January 16–22.

From the opening of the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip to Eric Clapton’s iconic MTV Unplugged session, the birth of Mötley Crüe, and the formation of Bad Company, this episode explores a week packed with defining rock moments. We also revisit infamous and unforgettable events like Ozzy Osbourne’s bat-biting incident, Neil Young’s solo debut, Buddy Holly’s final apartment recordings, and the Beach Boys beginning work on “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.”

Plus, we celebrate music birthdays from legends like Sade, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, Paul Stanley, Questlove, Steve Perry, and more—while also remembering Glenn Frey and David Crosby.

Part rock history, part cosmic coincidence, and part personal reflection (including a birthday shout-out close to home)
