LYNN, Mass. (AP) — A newspaper publisher is asking the Rolling Stones to return to town 50 years after they cut short a show during a thunderstorm, leading fans to rampage.
Ted Grant, publisher of the Daily Item in Lynn, said in an open letter published Tuesday that "a lot has changed" since the band was last in town, on June 24, 1966, and he wants the British rockers to finish the set that ended when they left the stage during a storm at the Manning Bowl stadium. Angry fans broke through barriers, prompting police to use tear gas, and the Stones pledged never to return to the city, 10 miles north of Boston.
TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — Authorities are trying to determine why a man went on a stabbing rampage in Massachusetts, killing two people and assaulting and stabbing more in a house and a shopping mall before being shot dead by a fast-acting off-duty sheriff's deputy.
The suspect in the attacks was identified as Arthur DaRosa, of Taunton.
