IN 1968 JIMI PAGE’S NEW GROUP APPEARED ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AS LED ZEPPELIN. THE FORMER “NEW YARDBIRDS” WERE PLAYING AT SURREY UNIVERSITY IN ENGLAND.
IN 1965, JIMI HENDRIX SIGNED HIS FIRST RECORDING CONTRACT. HE WAS PAID A DOLLAR A DAY, PLUS ONE PERCENT OF HIS ROYALTIES. THE DOCUMENT WOULD CAUSE LEGAL HASSLES FOR HIM WHEN HE BECAME FAMOUS TWO YEARS LATER UNDER A DIFFERENT CONTRACT.
AND IN 1995, PAUL AND LINDA MCCARTNEY WERE GUEST VOICES ON THE SIMPSONS’ EPISODE, “LISA THE VEGETARIAN.” THEY AGREED TO DO IT ONLY IF LISA WOULD REMAIN A VEGETARIAN FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES.
