Today’s Throwback Thursday is a twofer!
On this day in 1981 Rolling Stones put on its largest performance at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with nearly 100 thousand people in the audience.
Prince, who was lesser known at the time, opened for them. Although the Rolling Stones enjoyed Prince’s music their audience did not. He didn’t make it through his third song before leaving the stage because the boos were so aggressive.
We all know Prince recovered from the shame of this performance and became an icon. Let this be a little reminder that failure doesn't always me defeat!
