When he first met the band (then called Warsaw) outside Strangeways in 1977 after answering a classified ad, he initially thought bassist Peter Hook was Bernard Sumner’s dad 😂

🌹 50 YEARS OF ‘NEW ROSE’ 🌹
On this day in 1976, we released our very first single, ‘New Rose’, and the rest, as they say, is history.
50 years later, we’re still here, thank you for your support, loyalty and beautiful damnation.
Here’s to the next chapter. 🖤🦇

Cash recorded this song near the end of his life and facing his mortality, the song is full of nostalgia and regret
He died about a year after the song was released. It serves as his epitaph in a way, and is heralded as one of the most transformative and powerful cover songs ever recorded

Approfitto che c'è Ciociaria fra i trend per dire una cosa che molti non sanno: ciociaro e ciociara sono nati come parole dispregiative verso fine '700, solo dagli inizi del '900 hanno assunto il significato che gli diamo oggi. Grazie dell'attenzione

the song that signaled the start of a new phase in the bands careers, one that would see them become one of the biggest alternative acts in the world
i love this Robert Smith quote from 1985..😆
"If I wasn't in a band I'd start The Cure up now because I still detest the people in the Top 10 as much as I did when we started"

Kurt Cobain rarely talked about this song, but he did say that it was dedicated to his wife and daughter, The song deals with everything that was expected of him and the changes he had been through, which weren't all pleasant judging by the lines, "Married... Buried."

Debbie Harry and Chris Stein wrote the first version of this song in early 1974, shortly after they first met. They didn't have a proper title for the song, and would refer to it as "The Disco Song." Harry explained on the show Words and Music..
"Lyrically, it was about a stalker who was pursuing me, and Chris saved me from him"

What a Story!✨
“Cazzo, non mi avevi detto che era
fottutamente così bravo”
il 1 Ottobre 1966 i Cream dovevano
suonare al Central London Polytechnic
di Regent Street, mentre Eric Clapton
e Jack Bruce stavano girando per il
back stage della struttura si imbatterono
casualmente in Chas Chandler,
il celebre bassista degli Animals,
che era accompagnato da un giovane
proveniente da Seattle, e Chas che li
conosceva bene disse:
“Ho questo amico che è un vostro grande fan e vorrebbe fare una jam con voi”
La richiesta venne accettata dalla
band e quello strano afroamericano,
un certo Jimi Hendrix, si sarebbe esibito
con i suoi idoli. Quando lo sentì suonare
Clapton rimase sbalordito, già la scelta
della canzone scioccò la band,
Hendrix infatti suonò “Killing Floor”
una canzone di Howlin’ Wolf, un brano che Clapton trovava molto difficile.
Slowhand appena visto Jimi Hendrix
suonare aveva capito di non essere
più l'unico dio della chitarra 🎸
