Did you know The Beatles got their name from Buddy Holy and The Crickets? John Lennon altered the spelling of “Beetles” to “Beatles.”
Did you know Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Dartford, Kent?
Did you know that The Kinks song “Lola” was banned from TV because it had the line “tastes just like coca cola” back when advertising was banned from free to air?
Did you know Joe Cocker didn’t sing in his first band, The Cavaliers? He played drums and harmonica.
Did you know Reg Dwight renamed himself Elton John when he was 25 because his first band had two guys called Elton and John in it?
Before that, he was a solo act called Reggie, playing a pub gig every weekend at the Northwood Hills Hotel in Watford, on the northside of London.
Did you know that The Eagles’ monster hit “Hotel California” was originally called “Mexican Reggae”?
