In the book Knocking On Heaven’s Door (the stories of how countless rock stars died), they have an odd misprint.  At first they say accurately that Sid Viscious died of a drug overdose at the age of 21 on February 2, 1979.  He was born on May 10, 1957…again that would have made him 21.

Where it gets odd is when it goes on to mention the death of his mother, Anne Beverly.  They said she died in 1997…”at the age of 44”.  Which would mean she was born sometime around 1953, this would make her around four years old at the conception of her own son…kinda gross, right?  In reality Beverly was born in 1933, and died in 1997 at the age of 64…not 44.

And oddly enough in writing this entry I realized that today is Sid’s birthday…how creepy is it that I just happened to pick up that page of that particular book today, and then got intrigued by their gross oversight in a misprint?  Freaky.

Happy Would-Be Birthday, Sid!!!
