Michelin Star restaurants have that classification because the french tire company of the same name thought that if people travelled more to eat in places they read about, they would drive more and buy more tires.
OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

It seems obvious once you make the connection but the Guinness Book of World Records is sponsored by a brewer.
They also did the same thing for travel guides (which are very obviously branded with the tire company's logo)

Wait is that actually true? I thought that was something I made up when I was high.
