Did You Know?
Here's the place to post really obscure trivia about your favorite bands/musicians. I'm talking about stuff that probably most of the people here aren't aware of. Me first.
A few months before trying to assassinate then president Gerald Ford, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme tried getting face to face with Jimmy Page - very public leader of the biggest band on the planet in 1975. Manson wanted Fromme to kill someone whose death would shake the masses badly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynett...act_Jimmy_Page

Little known fact: if Frank Zappa were alive today he'd be an alt-right dweeb.

Jimmy Page's middle name is Patrick.
Jimmy Page planned a career in biological research of germs before landing a career in music. Jimmy Page played in the Yardbirds before Led Zeppelin.

Wiki says Ahmet Emuukha Rodan was named after Ahmet Ertegun. I don't know how reliable wiki is. I heard he was named after Frank and his wife's imaginary invisible servant "Ahmet," and Rhodan after Godzilla's nemesis.
