The More You Know

  • Before they became (arguably) the biggest pop act of all time, The Beatles had a hard time convincing record labels to sign them. In 1962, they were rejected by Decca Records, whose boss said “guitar groups are on the way out.”
  • While on tour with Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page dated a 14-year-old girl. Try getting away with that today.
  • Mariah Carey's ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, supposedly swiped an audio sample she was planning to use for her next album. The sample then popped up in a Jennifer Lopez song which came out first.
  • Courtney Love was briefly the singer for Faith No More in the early 1980’s.
