Betcha Didn't Know...

When you come across a delicious little trivia truffle that has to do with music, please post it here. I'll start:

The race horse Zenyatta is named after the Police album Zenyatta Mondatta. She's owned by Jerry Moss of A&M Records, who signed The Police.

Interesting how my horse, "No Holds Barred" raced against "Zenyatta" (owned by my friend, Jerry Moss)!...lol

We are mere horse raisers but our love for beautiful mares (wanting stallions) still rings true, especially at the starting line!

The only music song that I can come up with coinciding with this is... and I know, I've played it before . . . maybe

White Horse ~ Wonderland Avenue

Angus Young from AC/DC doesn't drink. He had a run-in with some Australian whiskey when he was young that was so bad he never touched alcohol again.

Bob Dylan released the first rock double album with Blonde on Blonde in 1966.

The epitaph on Sonny Bono's headstone reads: "And The Beat Goes On".

Greg Graffin, the singer of the punk band Bad Religion has a PhD and lectured courses in life sciences and paleontology at UCLA.

Rod Stewart was the original lead singer of the Jeff Beck Group. However, when the band was scheduled to appear at Woodstock he quit on the eve of the show due to the fact that his best friend Ron Wood, who was playing bass at the time, was kicked out.

The Rolling Stones have never played Antarctica, but their 1994-95 'Voodoo Lounge' tour did hit the other six continents.

Lindsay Buckingham and the photographer guilted Stevie Nicks into posing nude on the cover of their debut album for "Buckingham Nicks." Stevie says that if you look close enough at the album cover you can see she's crying.

[Shawna]

Smokey Robinson loathes "Tears of a Clown."

Stevie Nicks' white dress on the cover of "Bella Donna" was an exact opposite replica to the black dress she wore for the cover of "Rumours."

The "Gibson Girl" hairdo (loose bun) that she used to wear in Fleetwood Mac's early days onstage was held together by a single bobby pin, and it took her exactly 30 seconds to gather up all that hair and put it up into that perfect "messy" look... and it never once fell out during any stage performance.

The tracks on OK Computer and In Rainbows can be meshed together to make one super-album. http://puddlegum.net/radiohead-01-and-10/#_blank

It works.

It works.

I will be listening to this a bit later

[TheLizard]

It really, really works. It's actually kind of amazing.

[MuzikTyme]

I think you'd be a natural salesman.

For what I have no idea.

[RockyRaccoon]

It really, really works. It's actually kind of amazing.

I am thoroughly excited

When the Beatles famous Butcher Cover was recalled in America, Columbia Records put the new covers on top of the old ones. A few record stores figured out that you could steam them off and reveal the bloody dolls, which allowed them to sell them for 6 bucks instead of 3. There are probably a bunch of copies of Yesterday and Today floating around with a hidden butcher cover.

[RockyRaccoon]

Oh wow, really?

Is there any relatively safe way to find out? I've got a copy of it on vinyl.

[Carl]

The instructions I saw said to carefully steam it - like how you open a letter without tearing it.

If you try, be sure to record it - the resulting YouTube video would get killer hits.

Prince was asked to perform on We Are The World, but turned it down because he doesn't perform with other acts.

Not sure Prince has ever done a collaboration - you never see him doing a duet with Paul McCartney or something.

[Jenny]

He did a duet with Sheena Easton "U Got The Look". Does that count?

[Carl]

He'll bring in people to sing on his songs, but I don't think he ever appears on someone else's song.

Less than a month after Jim Morrison was arrested in Miami on charges of indecent exposure (for which he would later be convicted and then pardoned), 30,000 people attended a "Rally for Decency" at the Orange Bowl, featuring The Lettermen and Anita Bryant. President Nixon sent a letter to one of the organizers thanking him for his efforts.

Brenda Lee's Christmas classic "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" was recorded in July, with an air conditioner chilling the studio and a Christmas tree set up to get the musicians in the holiday spirit.

Anna Mae Bullock became Tina Turner because Ike liked something that sounded like "Sheena" - he loved Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.

Darrell Lance Abbott, metal guitarist, known as "Dimebag Darrell, a founding member of the bands Pantera and Damageplan and who was shot to death on stage on 12/8/2004, carried his passions to the grave.

A devoted fan of Black Sabbath and KISS, he had a tattoo of Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley on his chest, which Frehley once autographed for him.

He then had the autograph tattooed in place on his chest.

Having asked for a copy of Eddie Van Halen's "Bumblebee" guitar (which is pictured on the back cover of the album Van Halen II), before his death, the actual guitar was buried along with Darrell in a Kiss Kasket (an actual casket that was marketed and licensed by the band, Kiss) because he had made it known that he wanted to be buried in one of these caskets.
