1968: Just two years after the Monkees proved you could create a popular rock band artificially, CBS debuts the Saturday morning show The Archies, based on the popular, long-running comic book characters.
The idea was to avoid previous problems that arose when the Monkees actually demanded more control over their records. By using cartoon characters, musical producer Don Kirshner guaranteed he’d never face another mutiny in the recording studio.
Of course, people are still listening to the Monkees' music. The Archies - not so much.
1976: Following his concert in Memphis, Bruce Springsteen takes a cab to the Graceland mansion, hoping to meet Elvis Presley.
Turned away at the gate, Springsteen scales a wall and attempts to crash his way into meeting the King. It turns out Elvis is away from Memphis at the time and Bruce is escorted off the grounds by security without further incident.
