If there was a boundary, keyboard legend Keith Emerson would break it. As the wild mastermind behind the 70s supergroup Emerson, Lake & Palmer, he didn’t just play electrifying music—he turned it into a dangerous spectacle. Whether he was smashing his synthesizer to bits or turning it into a mind-bending sonic weapon, nothing was off-limits.

Some songs feel like diary entries accidentally left on the radio. “In The Air Tonight” is one of those rare tracks that sounds less like a hit single and more like a private meltdown set to echoing synths and a famously delayed drum fill. By the time Phil Collins released it in 1981, he wasn’t trying to reinvent pop music—he was trying to survive the wreckage of his personal life. What came out instead was a haunting anthem that turned private heartbreak into public mythology and permanently fused Collins’ name to four minutes of restrained fury.

Some actresses just have it. That rare combination of talent and heart that makes them unforgettable. Apart from conquering Hollywood, these phenomenal women quietly changed lives when cameras stopped rolling.

It’s one of the wildest stories in music history: Kris Kristofferson landed a helicopter in Johnny Cash’s yard just to get Cash to listen to one of his songs. The stunt was audacious, almost unbelievable—and it worked.

Landing a hit TV role sounds like a dream, but for some actors, success came with serious resentment. Whether it was creative disagreements, personal values, grueling schedules, or feeling trapped by a role, these performers made it clear they weren’t always thrilled with the shows they starred in.

As Freddie Mercury’s health declined in 1991, he avoided dramatic farewells or emotional declarations. Friends and bandmates later recalled that he preferred calm, normal conversations and resisted turning his final days into a spectacle. But even without a formal goodbye, what he said—and didn’t say—left a lasting impact.
