I was struggling to find a suitable and catchy title for this blog, in order to avoid any juvenile remarks or giggling(I include myself) However I think I succeeded. Now before you all go telling me that Kate Bush was never a member of Pink Floyd, you are absolutely right. But it could be argued…

Who doesn’t know this classic Michael Jackson song? I have heard the song thousands of time and never gave the lyrics a second thought.

Ever since I was a kid I have been a fan of Elvis-The King of Rock N Roll. Not only was he a great singer and performer he had also a great sense of humour. Elvis would often ad lib lyrics during live concerts, as he did during a Las Vegas gig in April 1969.…

On that day, Miller, an Army major, was believed to have boarded a UC-64A Norseman in Bedfordshire, England, as a passenger. The plane was bound for France, where Miller was planning to perform for Allied troops. While travelling to…

It is widely assumed that the first Beatle to die was John Lennon who was killed on the 8th of December by Mark David Chapman. You’d all be wrong believing this for it was Paul McCartney who died in a car crash in 1966, below you will find all the compelling evidence. Well I had…
