Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and … Ham Sandwiches? If you are a music fan, you may be aware of some of music‘s most enduring mysteries. Where did Pearl Jam get their name? Are the White Stripes related by blood or by marriage? Did Mama Cass really die from choking on a ham sandwich? Gavin Edwards has heard just about every strange question, racy rumor, and legend of the music world. As the writer of "Rolling Stone"’s "Rolling Stone Knows" column, Edwards proved himself as a one-man encyclopedia of music trivia. Now he shares all of his knowledge with you. Look inside to find the answers to these questions and more:

  • What‘s the connection between The Beach Boys and Charles Manson?
  • How did Dr. Dre and Eminem meet?
  • Did Mick Jagger and David Bowie really sleep together?
  • What’s the deal with Led Zeppelin and the shark?
  • What‘s the feud between The Smashing Pumpkins and Pavement all about?
  • Was Elton John’s "Tiny Dancer" really written about his most private body part?
