Excellent point about Princess Diana

Did you know her wedding to the Prince inspired AC DC's album: For Those About To Rock. They were playing and rehearsing in the UK for their follow up to Back In Black when they kept hearing all the cannons going off for the wedding. This gave them the idea to include cannon blasts on the album and they also made the album cover.
Pretty cool. Its like when Mick was in France and heard the marching band gave him an idea to include a marching band on Tusk.
