Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia was named after Jerome Kern, the composer behind “Ol’ Man River.” Garcia later said he didn’t even like his name and avoided formal uses of “Jerome” unless he was in legal trouble or on a tax form.

The Rolling Stones’ sax player Bobby Keys, Outlaw Country legend Waylon Jennings, and Rock & Roll originator Buddy Holly all lived in the same neighborhood in Lubbock, Texas & were friends before each was famous. Jennings & Keys both played with Holly’s backing band The Crickets (though Keys did after Holly’s death).
