Asik Vaysel by Joe Satriani

When Joe Satriani came to Turkey for a concert, he heard the Turkish musician Asik Veysel's record and was inspired to write this song about him. On the album, Asik Veysel's name is spelled incorrectly: Vaysel. Satriani said that he wrote it correctly in his notebook; but somewhere in the production of the album this spelling mistake occurred. >>

Was Long Tall Sally a transvestite? Did he really set his piano on fire? See if you know the real stories about one of Rock's greatest innovators.

Prince is shrouded in mystery, making him an excellent candidate for Fact or Fiction. Is he really a Scientologist? Does he own an exotic animal?

The Garbage drummer/songwriter produced the Nirvana album Nevermind, and Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and Siamese Dream.

Daryl Hall's TV show is a hit, and he's been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - only one of these developments excites him.
