Rock and Roll Recap for April 22 featuring John Lennon, The Who and more.

1993 - The Who's "Tommy" opened on Broadway at the St. James Theater in New York City and had 899 performances.

1981 - Eric Clapton was hospitalized after he suffered bruised ribs and a lacerated chin in a car accident in Seattle.

1978 - John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd made their first appearance as The Blues Brothers on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

1969 - John Lennon officially changed his middle name from Winston to Ono.

1969 - The Who gave their first complete live performance of the rock opera "Tommy" at a show in Dolton, England.

1969 - John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the only two Beatles on the recording of "The Ballad of John & Yoko."

Everyone loves the Blues Brothers. My favorite song of the Blues Brothers Movie was when Jake and Elroy meet Ray Charles at the music shop. They bend over and shake their tail feathers.
