Keith Richards nearly being electrocuted during a concert in the 1960's at Sacramento. The song the stones were playing was "The Last Time'.
I made it to page 21 so far, so sorry if it was brought up later. A teenage Anthony Kiedis starred alongside Sylvester Stallone (who was apparently quite an ******* to him) as Cole Dammett in 1978 movie "F.I.S.T". PS : what's this damn joke on liquid paper about? Wow... PPS : I was floored to find out about the Dennis Wilson/hooker story. I've had the Beach Boys "20/20" album for years and never heard it before...
The song The Troggs were trying to record during the infamous Troggs Tapes session was called "Tranquility".
"Neu! 2" has older tracks played at various speeds (on a record player) on side 2 because the band had run out of budget.
"Depeche Mode" NEVER meant "fast fashion" as I keep reading left and right "Depeche Mode" was the name of a french fashion magazine, and in french, a "dépêche" is a piece of news, a telegram, a wire. This magazine was "news about fashion", basically. "Fast fashion" would translate as "Mode rapide", or something like that, but"Depeche Mode" means NOTHING if we think "fast fashion". There's no way to translate "Depeche mode" as "fast fashion".
Janet Jackson starred in "Diff'rent Strokes", playing Charlene Dupree who was dating Todd Bridges (Willis JACKSON) in the series. They dated in real life. In one episode, there's this joke that Willis called her a different name. What name ? "Janet".
As a young teen, Warren Zevon visited the home of and briefly studied classical music with Igor Stravinsky.
Phil Collins' job as a session musician on George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" was uncredited for many years.
One guy from a record company said to Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention at the start of their careers: "I can make you guys become bigger than the Turtles". Five years later two members of The Turtles, namely Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, became members of Zappa's band, and were artistically under his command.
Well yes, but people still called her Blondie. She's talked in interviews about people calling her Blondie because they thought she was the artist, and not the band name. Kinda like Alice Cooper. That is what he goes by but at first that was just the name of the band.
I like that Nick Lowe issued an EP called "Bowi" in response to David Bowie's album "Low". I also think it's really cool that Joe Walsh and Ringo Starr are brothers-in-law. Both married to the Bach sisters (no, not the Butt sisters).
