May 5 was a big day in rock crime, we have 2 great ones actually. I couldn’t choose, so lets do both!
In 1981, Wendy O’Williams of The Plasmatics was arrested on stage at Milwaukee and was charged with the offence of simulating sex with a sledgehammer. Which is better than actually having sex with a power tool.
In 1995, Courtney Love was given a 1-year prison sentence suspended for 2 years after being found guilty of assaulting Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Nanna. She was also fined $1,000 and ordered to attend a anger management course.
OK so who’s cooler?
