Not too many people know this about Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley's Dr. Nichopoulos was an inspiration, but not as you may think.
#elvispresley #elvis
Was the doctor a hero or villain? There are groups in both camps who look at his care of people like Elvis and have strong opinions. FYI- In 1981, Dr. George Nichopoulous was acquitted on charges that he overprescribed drugs.

Freddie Keppard was a jazz king in New Orleans, playing the cornet throughout Storyville. He made a trip to NYC with his ensemble and passed on his chance to make the first jazz record. A few notes: Freddie Keppard was a "Creole of Color" with French heritage. So the "d" on his last name is silent. Cornet and trumpet are interchangeable as far as this short video is concerned. Most of these ear...

@therockandrollprofessorAccording to some, Bob Marley was considered a political danger in Jamaica and aside from an attempt on his life in 1976, many believe there could be people behind his death in 1981. It seems unlikely, but his dying at just 36 years old has raised questions. @therockandrollprofessor TheRockandRollProfessor.com The movie trailer, Bob Marley: One Love ua-cam.com/video/ajw4...

High School Classmates: Janis Joplin and Jimmy Johnson

Переглядів 9929 місяців тому

Janis Joplin and Jimmy Johnson went to the same high school in Texas, but they hung around with different crowds. In an 1994 autobiography, Johnson cited several ways in which he and others bullied (and even assaulted) Joplin throughout high school for being "weird" and "anti-jock." He's never seemed remorseful for his actions. Who you do think people will remember 100 years from now? Janis or ...

Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, needs a little help at the Cow Palace on Nov. 20 1973. It was an infamous gig and it demonstrated the seriousness of Moon's self-destructive behavior that will eventually cut his life short in 1978. He was just 32. TheRockandRollProfessor.com

I like Johnny Cash- but you may not think so after watching this video. For many, as a man who claimed to "walk the line," he wasn't always following the rules of living a moral life. Still he was loved as a superstar and sold over 90 million albums. Did he finally do the right thing? Fans all hope so.
