ON THIS DATE IN 1989 A NEWLY FORMED GROUP OF SAN FRANCISCO ROCKERS, THE 4 NON BLONDES, WERE SET TO REHEARSE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME BUT MADE THE DECISION TO POSTPONE DUE TO AN EARTHQUAKE! THE EARTHQUAKE OCCURED JUST AFTER 5 OCLOCK AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DISRUPTING THE FIRST CROSS TOWN WORLD SERIES, BETWEEN SAN FRANSICO GIANTS AND OAKLAND ATHLETICS WHICH WAS BROADCASTING LIVE… BUT BACK TO THE BAND…THE 4 NON BLONDES DIDN’T REALLY FIT IN ANY MOLD AND WERE ONLY TOGETHER FOR 5 YEARS BUT THEIR ONLY ALBUM BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER, MORE! SPENT 59 WEEKS ON THE CHARTS AND SOLD 1.5 MILLION COPIES AND IT WAS IN BIG PART..WHAT’S UP? AND NOT ONCE IN THE SONGS LYRICS IS THE PHRASE WHAT’S UP?…BUT IT BECAME AN ANTHEM FOR MANY AND IS MY KARAOKE GO TO AND TODAY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X
