Bob Dylan went out with Marilyn Monroe/Mansen and Moses Malone... they later met Burt Reynolds and stole some paintings from Glenn Ford because he was in a movie called "The Joker" which also starred Steve Miller and was filmed in the US and UK and later became a Guess Jeans commercial in 1990...

Answer 4

David Bowie originally wrote Golden Years for Elvis to record, unfortunately The King died before that could happen.

Buddy Holly's That'll Be The Day was the first song John Lennon learned to play on guitar.

Answer 5

Bob Dylan was going out with Edie Sedgwick back in the mid 60's for a short time. He went to pick her up at The Factory (Andy Warhol's factory for art) and Andy Warhol started taping him with a camera. Dylan wasn't happy so as payment for that little movie he was in, he picked up a Warhol original and just left. He later traded the art piece for a couch... of course the two kissed and made up in the press some time later but I thought that was hilarious.

Answer 6

March 28, 1980. Following a concert at the Zurcher Hallenstadion in Zurich, the Who's Pete Townshend decides to quit the music business. He sets off on foot to Berne, carrying just his passport, wallet, and a bottle of brandy, to visit the bears in the city's famous zoo. On arrival, he finds it's the off season and the bears are hibernating. He passes out IN the bear enclosure. Waking the next morning, he makes his way to Vienna to rejoin the Who for their weekend gigs.

Answer 7

According to wikipedia, Lou Reed tried to convince John Cale to have sex with him a few times in their early work together.

Jayne County was born Wayne County and had a sex change, that one's easy enough to pick out though.

And the most deveststing of all, Johnny Ramone was Republican

Answer 8

Interesting, here's mine:

Blondie's song "Maria" hit #1 on the charts in the U.K. exactly 20 years after their song "Heart Of Glass" did the same.

Answer 9

Credence Clearwater Revival played at my high school at a fall dance in 1967. They were named the Golliwogs at that time. That summer, in 1968, they released their first hit and appeared at the California State Fair as Credence. They apparently overheard my friends and I use the term "jubin' " which was something we made up concerning the character Jubal Troop(Glenn Ford) from a cowboy movie named Jubal. Our meaning "to jube or jubin' " was to go, wander, or move, i.e. "I'm jubin' on down to my locker". They later used it in a song whose title I forget. The line in the song was "Jubin' on down to New Orleans".

Answer 10

Krist Novoselic of Nirvana, who grew-up in Aberdeen, Washington, was born in Compton,California. Wow, Johnny Ramone a Republican??? WHAT A SHOCK! I would've never assumed that.
