Here's a fun fact I just discovered from Wikipedia.

The inventor of the Sandwich, John Montagu, 4th Earl of, was a great proponent of "Ancient music" (defined by him as music more than two decades old). He created a "Catch Club", where professional singers would sing "ancient" and modern catches, glees, and madrigals. He also put on performances of George Frideric Handel's oratorios, masques, and odes at his estate. Sandwich was instrumental in putting together the Concert of Ancient Music, the first public concert to showcase a canonic repertory of old works.

In other words, he also invented Dadrocking, or as they called in my day, Oldies.

David Bowie wrote the Space Oddity album after he saw 2001: A Space Odyssey when he was out of his gourd.
