1977 - Sex Pistols

The manager of the Virgin record store in Nottingham, England was arrested for displaying a large poster advertising the new Sex Pistols album, 'Never Mind The Bollock's, Here's The Sex Pistols'. High street stores banned the album after police warned they could be fined under the 1898 indecent advertising act.

I thought the Sheriff of Nottingham was disposed of by Robin Hood? Oh, bollocks...

1957 - Jerry Lee Lewis


Still married to his first wife Jane Mitcham, Jerry Lee Lewis secretly married his 13-year old second cousin Myra Gale Brown. Lewis's personal life was hidden from the public until a May 1958 British tour where Ray Berry, a news agency reporter at London's Heathrow Airport learned about Lewis's third wife. The publicity caused an uproar and the tour was canceled after only three concerts.


Jane Mitcham was his 2nd wife (out of seven), his 1st wife was Dorothy Barton.
