1. You know the popular rock and roll move where you get down on your back and use your legs to spin around? Angus Young accidentally invented that. He tripped over some chords at a show he was playing and didn’t wanna look stupid so he made it look like he did it on purpose ha ha. Now it’s as popular as the duck walk!
2. London Calling was part of a catch phrase (Good morning America, this is the London Calling!) of a BBC show during World War II, of which the The Clash’s guitarists Joe Strummer was a fan.
3. The night of Jimi’s first gig, Jeff Beck was coming out of the club and outside he ran into Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend. With a frightened expression he told them I think we’re in trouble here!
4. Smells Like Teen Spirit was the slogan of a deodorant brand.
