Today in history:

[Floyd R. Turbo]

British Glam Rock group Sweet appeared at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland and were driven offstage by a barrage of bottles. The incident inspired their song ‘The Ballroom Blitz’ which went on to reach number one in Canada, number two in the UK and the Australian Chart, and number five on the US Billboard Hot 100.

but obviously not enough to bother looking it up. Thanks for filling gaps in my trivial knowledge.
