How about some classic fun facts today? Here’s what’s on today’s menu…
Be sure to visit Winslow, AZ before you leave this earth. Hand to God, there is a life size statue “standing on the corner” and sign, honoring the song and reference. The song reference generates more than 100,000 visitors each year, all taking a selfie with the statue and sign.
Did you now that in the very beginning of his career, Jimi Hendrix was in the Little Richard band? Yup, not for long. Richard threw Jimi out of the band for playing unscheduled long guitar solos during performances. There is only one star in that band, and it wasn’t Jimi.
We bet you love the music of the Pendletones, The Quarrymen, Ed Mahoney and Mammoth. The Beach Boys changed their name from the Pendletones, the Beatles from the Quarrymen, Ed Mahoney changed his last name and went by Eddie Money.
Although John Lennon has been on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine many times, the Beatles hold that record – 30 covers.
Yes, the band ‘Dr. Hook’ was on the “Cover of Rolling Stone” like their song. It seems the writers and editors of the magazine wanted to play along.
