I can't recall where K was talking about his love for Frasier, but I just saw an interesting fact.

On 9/11, one of the executive producers (and the show’s creator) David Angell and his wife Lynn were on the plane that was hijacked before crashing into the North Tower that morning.
Speaking of 9/11 and entertainment connections.
If you have ever seen Dwight Yoakam's video, Thousand Miles from Nowhere, his co-director died in the 911 attacks on flight American Airlines flight 11.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

If you're familiar with The Rolling Stones, you may know the haunting, jamming ass tune called Gimme Shelter. Great tune and concert staple. The Stones often used backup singers in a lot of their stuff, many of them from the Deep South since their brand of rock often incorporated Bluesy sounds. Gimme Shelter is a tune that has an undercurrent of impending doom and is no exception to that bluesy sound. Some of Keith's best guitar work to me. The main accompanying singer to Mick in this song is a lady from New Orleans named Merry Clayton. She was/is no stranger in the music industry having been on many rock albums over the last 50 years or so.

But in 1969 during the recording of Gimme Shelter, she was pregnant. Her part of the song had such strong vocal pieces, and the vocal strain was so hard, that its been attributed to her having a miscarriage later that night, after recording wrapped up.

At 2:58 and 3:01 you can hear the peak of her vocal strain when her voice cracks. Crazy that this short musical timeframe could possibly be the cause of a miscarriage.

You know I'm a heights and weights kind of guy, but normally, that's for the Auburn Tigers.  A lot of celebrities who are pretty short, come off as bigger and badder on screen.  Tom Cruise is a prime example, having played so many action roles, you wouldn't think he's actually just 5'7".

Danny Trejo is another one that plays a bad ass role in most flicks.  He checks in at 5'6".

Another that surprised me is Jon Stewart, Chizzad's favorite.  He towers over everyone at 5'6" as well.

On the other side of things, I was surprised to see some celebs that were much taller than they come across on screen. Usually, they try to give the illusion of height, as in Cruise's case.  Maybe they try to tone it down with some of these.

Clint Eastwood  6'4"

Tyler Perry  6'5"

Jeff Goldblum  6'4"

Tim Robbins  6'5"

Vince Vaughn  6'5"

Chevy Chase  6'4"

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Ive never actually seen the number. It haunted her for years though. Crazy part is, about a decade or so ago, she had her legs amputated below the knee after a bad car accident. I feel bad for this lady.

Good read on her in an article from a few years ago.

Little less severe Did You Know than my last one.....The 80's group Til Tuesday - "Voices Carry" - huge hit, a good tune. The lead singer of that band so prominently featured in that song - Aimee Mann - is married to the older brother of Sean Penn; Michael Penn - who had a few hits in the 80s as well.

I did not know that Thin Lizzy was formed in Dublin, Ireland. I always assumed they were an American band.  But wait, that's Grand Funk Railroad.

I didn’t know Beverly Hills Cop was originally written for Sylvester Stallone. He took the script, rewrote it to remove all the comedic elements.  Studio didn’t care for his version so he backed out of the project.

Murphy got BHC.  Stallone took his script ideas and made Cobra.

I also did not know that the original plan for Breaking Bad had both Hank and Walter Jr. set to die in the first season.  Jesse was also slated to be killed.

The departure of the annoying Jr would have been no loss, but Hank being out might have cost us the purple deliciousness of Marie Schrader which would have been tragic. 

Hank was saved when the writers strike delayed the process and they had time to rethink the plot.  Jesse was saved because they realized in the pilot how much his character could contribute. Nobody knows why Jr survived.

Another Breaking Bad related I didn’t know. 

Michael Bowen, who played Nazi Uncle Jack in season 5 (and also played buck who likes to fuck, owner of the pussy wagon in kill bill 2, and who played preppy douche Tommy in Valley Girl) is a member of the Carradine clan. 

Chris, Robert and Keith are stepbrothers

Melt With You for me.

It's still probably a top 20 on my lifetime playlist.
