“Love You Inside Out,” the Bee Gees’ final #1 single, peaked on the charts a few weeks before the Chicago Disco Demolition Night, the event that at least crystallized the long-brewing disco backlash.

The Bee Gees had been around before disco, and they’d proven themselves capable of putting together non-disco hits, but it didn’t matter. Presumably thanks to Saturday Night Fever, the Bee Gees had come to represent disco in the public imagination. When disco fell, they fell too. So “Love You Inside Out” goes down in history as the very end of a historic hot streak.

June 9, 1970: Johnny Winter And Rick Deringer recorded "Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo."
"Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo" was initially recorded by Johnny Winter in 1970 with his band "Johnny Winter And", which included Rick Derringer and other former members of the McCoys. According to Derringer:
The first song I wrote for Johnny was 'Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo'. 'Rock and Roll' to satisfy the rock 'n' roll that I was supposed to be bringing into the picture, and 'Hoochie Koo' to satisfy the king of blues sensibility that Johnny was supposed to maintain. And it worked out great."

June 9, 1984: "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger peaked at Number 5 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Rock of Ages has extended its off-Broadway run 14 weeks (through January 14, 2020), meaning hair metal fans can now sit back and take tequila shots in their Harley Davidson T-shirts in New York City for a little longer.
One song prominently featured is Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian,” a power ballad that cemented itself in the hair metal cannon since its release in 1984. Drummer and vocalist Kelly Keagy wrote the song after visiting his teenage sister Christy in Eugene, Oregon, and was amazed at how fast she had grown up. His bandmates heard Keagy sing “Sister Christian” instead of “Christy,” and the title stuck.

“...takes on a couple of different meanings. I’ve heard some people think that I’m talking about drugs, or some people think I’m talking about cheating. I guess it’s kinda both. I would never want to say anything that would get myself in trouble, being married with a couple of kids. That song is like a dirty picture painted with a pretty brush.”
