Some people just can’t tell the difference between “Grand Theft Auto” and real life. In the game (for the uninitiated), you can drive around, wrecking things and causing chaos all while jamming to the soundtrack of your choice. John Hargreaves apparently had his soundtrack all picked out before going full-”GTA” in Independence Township, NJ recently. Hargreaves drove his SUV into a home and then the offices of a municipal police department last week, causing significant damages while thankfully not unjuring anyone. After hitting the house and then the police station, Hargreaves’ vehicle came to rest in the department’s squad room.  As he got out of the vehicle, prosecutors said Hargreaves put his hands in the air and appeared to be celebrating while loudly playing the Guns N’ Roses song “Welcome to the Jungle” on his car stereo as officers took him into custody.

20 Times Multiple Classic Albums Came Out On The Same Day

A number of days in rock history were marked by the release of classic albums that came out on the same day.

Examples of this span a number of decades. In the 1960s, The Beatles were involved in two of these instances with The Kinks and David Bowie. The 1970s saw The Rolling Stones release an album on the same day as the Ramones said "Gabba Gabba Hey!" to the world. In the 1980s, heavy metal icons Judas Priest released a classic album on the same day Iron Maiden dropped their debut. As for the 1990s, you'll be shocked to learn just how many times classic LPs were released on the same day. By "classic LPs," we mean some of the great albums of all time.
