We chase the weird and wonderful corners of music history, from a star-packed tennis fundraiser that somehow happens without the Eagles to a rap-rock collaboration that permanently shifts what radio can be. We also swap boots-on-the-ground stories from Shaky Knees in Atlanta, including a perfect Strokes set, a storm evacuation, and Wu-Tang turning a festival night into a celebration. • the Eagles Rock and Roll Tennis Festival as a charity event with a surreal guest list • the Eagles missing their own festival while finishing Hotel California • Run-DMC and Aerosmith making Walk This Way a breakthrough hip hop and rock crossover • the MTV video concept and why it fuels the song’s impact • Shaky Knees Friday recap with Turnstile crowd energy and The Strokes delivering big • Saturday weather chaos, evacuation confusion, and the sting of canceled favorites • Sunday highlights with Jet and a surprisingly uplifting Wu-Tang Clan set • rapid-fire music history picks: The Hollies, The Kinks, AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult
