Today in musical milestones:
The Good | Bluegrass and country singer Alison Krauss turns 52, Guns N’ Roses guitar hero Slash hits 58, Depeche Mode keyboardist Martin Gore turns 62 and Roxy Music MVP Andy Mackay is 77.
The Bad | Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London townhouse at age 27 back in 2011, Charlatans keyboardist Rob Collins died in a car accident in 1996, two R.E.M. fans died during their Slane Castle show in 1995, and Grateful Dead keyboardist Keith Godchaux died following a traffic accident in 1979.
The Weird | Surgical instruments allegedly used during Elvis Presley‘s autopsy were removed from auction (due to doubts about their authenticity, believe it or not), Bob Dylan was arrested in New Jersey for ‘acting suspiciously’ while taking a walk before his gig in 2009, and Kid Rock got probation for getting into a fight at a Waffle House in 2008.
