In Eric's autobiography, he writes: At the Speakeasy Club, I had first met one of the great loves of my life, a very beautiful French model, Charlotte Martin. I was smitten with her from the very first moment I set eyes on her. She was very beautiful in an austere way, classically French, with long legs and an incredible figure, but it was her eyes that got on me. They were slightly Asian with a downward slant, and a little bit sad. We started dating right away and soon moved in together into a flat in Regents Park belonging to Stigwood's partner, David Shaw, who was the financial brains behind the organization. Charlotte was an incredible girl, more interested in films, art and literature than in modeling, and we had a great time together.

Ozzy Osbourne claimed his reputation had been tarnished after a party supposedly involving him was organised by US police officers to round up missing criminal suspects. Over 500 people in North Dakota with outstanding arrest warrants were sent invitations and more than 30 suspects turned up. Osbourne said it was "insulting" that his name had been used but police argued it was a "creative" way to fight crime. Ozzy had been selected because he was due to play a gig in a nearby arena, which was used to explain why he would supposedly have attending the party.

Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses

I don’t see enough Cream in my feed, or anywhere for that matter, so I thought I’d better step in!

I don’t know where this clip was from, apparently it’s a rehearsal for a French TV show, but I wasn’t able to confirm what show, the date, or if it’s even true. I’ll update this if I ever find out. For a rehearsal it sounds amazing, but I’m biased because this is one of my favourite songs by Cream, even if it is basically ‘White Room’!
