Having a former Nirvana member - The Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl, former drummer of Nirvana, formed this band after Cobain's death, using material he was reluctant to share (worried about "ruining the chemistry"). Krist Novosellic (also from Nirvana) was considered as a bandmate (Grohl didn't want it to be a solo project), but there was a concern they'd be seen as "a reincarnation of Nirvana." However, despite his efforts, many people do think of Foo Fighters as "the band with a Nirvana member in it."

Frank Ocean, a rising R&B singer known for his single "Novacane" and self-released album "Nostaligia ULTRA" announced on his Tumblr page that his first love was a man. That puts him in a dangerous position in the world or rap where anti-Gay sentiments have long been part of the regular vocabulary. He was part of the hip-hop collective Odd Future and was prominently featured on Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch the Throne" album. Ocean writes on his post: "I don't have any secrets I need to keep anymore... I feel like a free man. If I listen closely. I can hear the sky falling too."

Concert Antics - Frank Zappa
In addition to tight musicianship, the Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention concerts were renowned for wacky on-stage goofiness in concerts: from bizarre costume changes, to improvised theater, to simple repetitions of familiar phrases like "Book 'em Danno!" or "Mary Mother & Joseph!" Often Zappa would introduce "The Secret Word" for the evening, based on current events or whatever was happening with the band that day.

Frankie Says - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
In 1984 and 1985 Frankie Goes To Hollywood made quite a stir. Their most notorious hit, "Relax" hit the Top 10 all over the planet (#1 in their native UK). They put out merchandise to stoke the hype. There were T-shirts that said, "Frankie Says: Relax. Don't Do It." Another design just said "Relax". David Bowie in his 20-odd minute video mini-movie "Jazzing For Blue Jean" which promoted his big hit "Blue Jean" wears a "Relax" shirt. Another Frankie T-shirt said "Frankie Says: War! Hide Yourselves". However a backlash to this trend appeared in mid 1985 - a T - shirt that said, "Who Gives A Fuck What Frankie Says?"
