Did you know about: The ballet that sparked a riot? The rock
star who became an astrophysicist? The song that saved Wheaties?
The man killed by his own conducting? The controversy behind "Mary
Had a Little Lamb"?
Prepare to be astonished, bewildered, and stupefied by the
tantalizing tidbits of music history collected here: amazing
stories about jazz, classical, country, rock 'n' roll, hip-hop,
show tunes, composers, band names, song lyrics, instruments,
technology, controversies, and more.
Learn how the FBI spent years trying to decode the lyrics of one
rock song. Discover how Watergate provided the inspiration for A
Chorus Line. Find out how one megahit was born in a history class,
while another was dashed off in a fit of anger at actor Robert De
Niro. Meet the monk behind solfege, the aviation pioneer who
created Muzak, and the prisoner who literally sang himself out of
jail. Then there's the most important person in rock 'n' roll
history--chances are you've never heard of him
