This Day in Rock History: November 11th

Time to take a look back into this day in rock history: November 11

1971

Not content to only write song lyrics, Bob Dylan saw his novel Tarantula published on this date in 1970.

1972

Tragedy struck the Allman Brothers again on this date when bassist Berry Oakley was killed in a motorcycle crash similar to the one that took fellow Rock Hall of Famer Duane Allman just over a year before.  Fans still make a solemn pilgrimage to the crash site.

1973

Just a year after their introductory tour opening for T.Rex, fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famers the Doobie Brothers did a college tour that brought them to Kent State University.
