"Rosanna" is not the only iconic 80's song written about Rosanna Marquette. She was also the inspiration for "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.
David Paich has said the song Rosanna isn't actually about Arquette but several women he knew. I wouldn't be surprised if he just liked the name for the song but the content isn't about her.
I can't find any solid info on Arquette being the inspiration for "In Your Eyes" other than some very vague references.
Gabriel's Digging In The Dirt is said to also be in part about his break up with Arquette.
Speaking of Peter Gabriel, he originally wanted Dolly Parton to sing the female part in "Don't Give Up".

Slash did indeed play on several MJ songs but not on "Black or White" proper. On MJ's album Dangerous, he played on "Give In To Me". He did play on the Intro skit to the "Black or White" video, the section with Macaulay Culkin and George Wendt before the song starts. Different music, different riff. The main riff for "Black or White" is played by Bill Bottrell who would later make Tuesday Night Music Club with Sheryl Crow. The middle "heavy metal section" riff is played by Tim Pierce.

Mike Campbell (lead guitarist for Tom Pretty and the Heartbreakers) wrote the music for Don Henley’s The Boys of Summer. Mike played the music part for Tom Petty and Tom did not like it for the album they were working on. Well their producer at the time told Mike to play it for Henley. Henley wrote the lyrics and they had a hit!

Beach Boys star Mike Love has revealed how a member of the murderous Charles Manson gang babysat his two children.
In today’s Event magazine, Love recalls his horror when he realised the children had been left with Susan Atkins, later convicted for her role in the notorious Manson murder spree of 1969.
At the time, Love was separated from his wife and mother of his children, Suzanne, who was involved with his cousin and fellow band member Dennis Wilson. Atkins had landed the job of babysitter after Wilson fell under the spell of Manson in the summer of 1968.
Love, who had co-founded the group in the 1960s, recalls how Manson and his debauched followers began taking over every aspect of his cousin’s life.
Manson, then 33, had already served time for armed robbery and car theft but harboured dreams of being a rock star and believed Wilson could put him on the road to fame and fortune.
Love recalls how the ‘guileless’ Wilson gave Manson and his female followers control over his home, his credit cards and even his Mercedes.
Atkins’s death sentence for her role in the murder spree was commuted to life imprisonment and she died behind bars in 2009.

The song More Than a Feeling has this chorus:
It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreaming
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
It seems like Marianne is the songwriter's old girlfriend, but Tom Scholz revealed who Marianne really was:
It's more than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
And I begin dreaming
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
It seems like Marianne is the songwriter's old girlfriend, but Tom Scholz revealed who Marianne really was:
quote:
Scholz was asked, "Who is Marianne?" He replied, "There actually is a Marianne. She wasn't my girlfriend." He explained that when he was 8 or 9 years old he had a much older cousin who he thought was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and that he was "secretly in love" with her.

This one is kind of well known, but speaking of musicians/bands and basketball, Pearl Jam’s original name was Mookie Blaylock, hence why their first album is named Ten, it was his jersey number.

CW McCall, the guy who did Convoy, was someone who worked in advertising. CW McCall started as a character he came up with to appear in commercials, before eventually getting into music.

According to this video the song "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith was written after the band saw the movie "Young Frankenstein" with this Marty Feldman scene.

Before joining the Eagles, Don Fender lives in Gainesville, FL for a time. He worked in a music store and gave guitar lessons. He had a young student named Tom Petty.

In the Soviet Union during the cold war electric guitars could not be purchased, so young musicians would build their own, using electronics cannibalized from pay telephones.
Bootleg vinyl for recordings was provided by x-ray film stolen from hospitals. Could listen to the Beatles on a disk depicting someone's bones or innards.

When he was lead singer and guitarist of KISS, Paul Stanley sucked more than 800 cocks.

When Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were putting together KISS, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick fame auditioned for lead guitar. I've always wondered what might have been had Ace Frehley not been chosen.

Felder was a nexus of that Gainesville scene. In addition to Stephen Stills and, obviously, Bernie Leadon, he also hung out with the Allman Brothers - as they were all about the same age and all before any of them were famous (including his young guitar student Petty).
The "Rosanna" posts reminded me of one:
Most of the love songs on Purple Rain were inspired by Prince's feelings towards sometime girlfriend Susannah Melvoin (I think they were engaged at one point). Her identical twin sister was the rhythm guitarist for The Revolution, Wendy Melvoin (and also of longtime musical association/romantic partnership with Revolution keyboardist Lisa Coleman).
The Melvoins older brother, Jonathan was the touring keyboardist for The Smashing Pumpkins, overdosed on heroin with Jimmy Chamberlin (obviously the latter survived) and his death was one of the reasons Chamberlin was fired by Billy Corgan (the first time).
Melvoin's death inspired a number of songs, including SPCA staple, Angel by Sara Mclachlan.
The Melvoins father, Mike Melvoin was the keyboardist for The Wrecking Crew.

Ok. I knew Ricky Nelson died on the plane previously owned by Jerry Lee Lewis which is it's own bit of trivia, but check this out on the final concert he performed...
New Year’s Eve Weekend, 1985…
On Saturday, December 28, the band soldiered on from Orlando to Guntersville, Alabama, to play at P.J.’s Alley, a 4,000 square foot converted tire store and warehouse, that Upton owned. The DC-3 made an uneventful landing around dusk, and quickly taxied to a stop. The air stairs of the DC-3 were lowered, and the band began to unload all of their gear before hitching a ride into town with two locals.
....
Another sold-out night, Nelson ended by singing a rendition of Buddy Holly’s song, Rave On. Ironically, Holly himself had chosen this song to close what would be his last performance at Clear Lake, Iowa, on February 3, 1959 – “the Day the Music Died…”.Nelson’s final words on stage that evening were, “Rave on for me!” as he and his band departed.
