Aug. 10 is packed with big moments.
On this day in 1927, President Calvin Coolidge dedicated Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The giant stone faces started drawing visitors and history lovers right away.
Jump to 1993, when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice. Her arrival changed the court and inspired many people in and out of music circles.
Music fans also mark Aug. 10 for several band milestones. In 1967, The Doors released music that helped shape the late ’60s sound. Their tracks kept airwaves and clubs buzzing. In 1989, Nirvana played shows that hinted at the major shift grunge would bring a few years later. And in 2000, Coldplay started getting attention that would grow into massive stadium tours.
For concert-goers, Aug. 10 is a reminder that history and music often meet. Big political and cultural moments can sit right alongside the songs and shows we love. Celebrate the date by streaming a classic set, checking tour announcements, or catching a local gig.
