A Little Rock and Roll Did You Know

Be sure to visit Winslow, AZ, sooner than later, if only to see the life-size statue “standing on the corner” and sign, honoring the Eagles song “Take it Easy” 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? Also, the song” Black Dog’ from Zeppelin came to the band as they were working on the song and a large black Labrador walked into the recording studio.

Did you know that U2’s Bono is the only human being nominated for a Grammy, Oscar, Nobel Peace Prize and Golden Globe? Did you know that the addition of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks was the 11th Fleetwood Mac lineup?

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.
