Trivia
 In the late '70s George loved working out, cigars, pro wrestling, and especially baseball. It was during this period that Thorogood created and played on a semi-pro league team in Delaware. He was the second baseman and was chosen rookie of the year in the league. Soon after this achievement, The Destroyers forced him to quit playing the sport. In the 1970s, George and the band were based in Boston.

  George and the Delaware Destroyers were friends with Jimmy Thackery and the Nighthawks. While touring in the 1970's, the Destroyers and the Nighthawks happened to be playing shows in Georgetown (DC) at venues across the street from each other. The Destroyers were engaged at The Cellar Door, the Nighthawks at Desperados. At midnight, by prior arrangement, while both bands played the same song ("Madison Blues") in the same key (E), George and Jimmy left their clubs, met in the middle of M street, exchanged guitar cords and went on to play with each other's bands.

  George and the Destroyers are also notable for undertaking a vigorous touring schedule after appearing throughout the Rolling Stones tour in 1981. After two shows in Boulder, Colorado, George and his band flew to Hawaii and played for only one night. The next night they appeared in Alaska for one show. The following day the band flew to Washington State, met their roadies who had their Checker car and a truck, and continued a one show per state tour for all fifty states in exactly fifty nights. In addition, they played Washington, DC on the same day that they performed a show in Maryland. This touring feat remains unchallenged by any other band.
