a reunion or not?
BLACK SABBATH Guitarist Says There Has Been No Official Confirmation Of Reunion
BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has recently released the following statement regarding the reports of a reunion of the band's original lineup:
"I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a BLACK SABBATH reunion.
"At the time I was supporting the Home Of Metal exhibition was merely speculating shooting the breeze on something all of us get asked constantly, 'Are you getting back together?'
"Thanks to the Internet it's now gone round the world as some sort of 'official' statement on my part; absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.
"To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better."

and in music history for today, August 17th:
In 1955, Elvis Presley released his first number 1 hit, “I Forgot to Remember to Forget” / “Mystery Train.” It hit the top of the country charts several months later and stayed there for 5 weeks.
In 1960, The Beatles begin their first Hamburg engagement at the Indra Club, Grosse Freiheit, Hamburg, West Germany, playing the first of 48 nights at the Club. The owner, Bruno Koschmider, asked The Beatles to "Mach Shau", or really put on a show, which led to the band screaming, shouting, and leaping about the stage and sometimes playing lying on the floor.
The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was released in 1964.

In 1967, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap recorded "Woman Woman". The song would break first in Cleveland in November and would rise to #4 on the US national charts, but could only manage #48 in the UK.
Deep Purple's "Hush" was released in 1968.
The Doors started a four-week run at #1 on the US album chart in 1968 with 'Waiting for the Sun.'

In 1974, Nottingham England's Paper Lace had Billboard's top tune with a song about a gangster shootout called "The Night Chicago Died". After the song became a hit, the band's manager contacted Chicago's mayor Richard Daley, hoping for a civic reception. What they got instead was 'a rather rude letter', ending in ...are you nuts?' Adding to the band's woes, they were forbidden to perform the song 'live' in America at the height of its popularity because of contract issues.
Eric Clapton started a four-week run at #1 on the US album chart in 1974 with '461 Ocean Boulevard.'

Also in 1977, the day after Elvis Presley's death, President Jimmy Carter issues the following statement, "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago, he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol to people the world over, of the vitality, rebelliousness and good humor of his country."
In 1984, Motley Crue gave its performance debut at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington, England.
