The first time that Del Shannon and his keyboard player, Max Crook, ever played \"Runaway\" on stage, Crook improvised the organ solo as he went along. When it came time to record the song and in all future performances, he never changed a single note.

The Wesley Willis Fiasco was a punk rock band in Wicker Park, Chicago, Illinois.

The band featured Wesley Willis on vocals, Pat Barnard on lead guitar, Dale Meiners on guitar and bass. Dale Meiners previously played guitar in Billy Corgan’s pre-Smashing Pumpkins band, the Marked.

So Corgan is once removed directly from Wesley Willis. I would have never guessed this in a 1,000 years.
