“I heard a rumor, they say you have a broken heart” is a lyric from a popular song, but you know how rumors get started. Well, a few of the rumors are true. Check these out!
YES, Charles Manson DID write a song for the Beach Boys. Dennis Wilson let Charlie stay at his mansion for a while, while Charlie was struggling to find his musical voice. Dennis grabbed one of the songs written by Manson, and had the band record it.
It’s a bit unseemly, but Tupac Shakur’s ashes WERE smoked by his friend at his wake. Get this; it was Tupac’s idea.
YES Ozzy did bite off the head of a bat on stage, but he was told just before his first meeting with Columbia Records executive, that it he could be memorable he would be signed. His manager released two doves at the meeting, where Ozzy purposely grabbed one in flight, and bit off its head.
Finally, YES Keith Moon, Mama Cass, AND Harry Nilsson all died in the same apartment. Did you want to book a stay?
