I doubt the women's music fair was named after Frasier's ex-wife; more likely it was for Lilith, who in biblical mythology was actually the First Woman, Jewish, before Eve.

1. Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is dedicated to the band's former leader Syd Barret.
Syd used to be the leader...until his schizophrenia and the LSD started to catch up with him, and he became rather insane.
The band called David Gilmour, who had given Syd guitar lessons during high shool, and would cover for Syd during concerts, correcting his mistakes and filling in when he started playing along to a different tune. Syd eventually got more and more distanced of the band and David got to be the lead guitarist, but lots of the insanity themes they sing about is related to their former bandmate.
--------------------------------------------------.
2. "Smoke On The Water" refers to a Frank Zappa show in Montreux in 1971, where someone lit a flaregun and "burned the place to the ground".

1. B.B. King's beatiful guitar is a Gibson ES-355, but is known as Lucille.
Actually, King has quite a few of these guitars (and a custom series), all named Lucille.
He even dedicated her a song, in which he tells her how much she means to him and the adventures they had together.
2. When Brian May was nine he realized that he couldn't play all the songs he wanted to in the acoustic guitar he had gotten two years before, so he decided to change it.
- However, he didn't have enough money to buy one, so, with a little help from his father, he started building his own ax in 1963.
This guitar was finished the next year, and was baptized "Red Special" (it is red, in case you haven't guessed).

Unlike pretty much every rockstar, Frank Zappa didn't like beer.

- There is only one line in Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days." Nick Mason, the drummer recorded the line ... "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." That is the only line he ever sang on a Floyd album
- Mason the only member to play on every Pink Floyd album.
