Songs Based on Real Events: Sudden Death
This took quite a bit of research: Wikipedia, Rolling Stone, genius.com, even an article in Good Housekeeping. Most songs are inspired by something, but these songs are different, with real ties to real events. Musician/band names are included to help you remember the tunes and may not be the same as the name of the writer.
