♪ ♫"...so I got me a pencil
And a moleskin book
When I heard Bertha Franklin
Shot and killed Sam Cooke

I wrote down
December 11th 1964
Ain't gonna be 'Twistin
The Night Away' no more

It took 15 minutes
For the jury to decide
The cause o' death
Was justified homicide

Eliza Boyer wasn't called
By the prosecution
Then she was arrested
For prostitution

The Hacienda Motel
Had a busted down door
Sam's wallet and his money
Was never accounted for..."♪ ♫

September 6, 1971 - January 15, 2018

From Wiki:

Quote:

O'Riordan died suddenly at the London Hilton on Park Lane hotel in Mayfair on 15 January 2018, at the age of 46, while in London for a recording session with Bad Wolves. The cause of death was not immediately made public, but an inquest held on 6 September ruled that she died as a result of accidental drowning in a bathtub due to sedation by alcohol intoxication. Empty bottles were found in O'Riordan's room (five miniature bottles and a champagne bottle) as well as some prescription drugs, but toxicology tests showed that her body contained only "therapeutic" amounts of these medications but 330 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, a blood alcohol content of 0.33%.

1996 - Jamaican authorities opened fire on Jimmy Buffett's seaplane, Hemisphere Dancer, mistaking it for a drug trafficker's plane. U2 singer Bono was also on the plane; neither singer was injured in the incident. The incident inspired Buffett to write a song called 'Jamaica Mistaica'.
