"James Dean's accident with a speeding Porsche 550 Spyder happened on Highway 331 in California at 5:45pm.

"The Nelson Mandela 70th Tribute Concert was held on June 11, 1988 at the Wembley Stadium, London.

Then Tracy Chapman burst out there performing Fast Car." (about-tracy-chapman.net / Marc Cooper, Q Magazine, September 1988)
