TWO WEDDINGS ARE ON THE ROCK CALENDAR FOR MARCH 20TH. IN 1969, JOHN LENNON MARRIES YOKO ONO ON THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR. A YEAR LATER, DAVID BOWIE MARRIED MARY ANGELA BARNETT, RUMORED TO BE THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ROLLING STONES SONG, “ANGIE,”
SADLY, IN 1991 ERIC CLAPTON’S 4-YEAR-OLD SON, CONOR, DIES AFTER FALLING OUT OF A WINDOW AT HIS MOTHER’S APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY. THE TRAGEDY INSPIRED HIS SONG “TEARS IN HEAVEN”.
