Rock Music Facts

At Live Aid in 1985, Bono spotted a 15-year-old girl being crushed at the front of 72,000 people. Security wouldn't help. He jumped off the stage mid-song, lifted Kal Khalique over the barrier himself - and missed the entire final song of their set. His bandmates were livid. They thought he'd blown their biggest chance. They had no idea he'd just made them the biggest band on earth.

Alice Cooper got sober in 1983 by trading one addiction for another. In rehab, he took up golf. He played 36 holes a day, every single day, for a year, always with club pros. The new habit replaced the drinking for good. He still tees off six days a week at 5:30am. He once seriously considered playing a pro tournament in full stage makeup.

Creed Bratton played a character on The Office named after himself. Off screen, he was the real lead guitarist of The Grass Roots. He toured with the band from 1967 to 1969. The band had two gold records. "Let's Live for Today" hit No. 8. "Midnight Confessions" was their biggest hit, at No. 5. His character's real name was later revealed as William Schneider, his actual birth name. He's still touring today, at 83.
