Not that any of us do Pilates, I don't know, maybe you do.  But that form of exercise was invented by German immigrant, Joseph Pilates.


In the same vein: the burpee was named for its inventor, Royal H. Burpee.

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

Andrew Clutterbuck aka Andrew Lincoln of TWD is married to Ian Anderson's  (Jethro Tull) daughter Gael.

As a thirteen year old I was fortunate enough to experience the different genre's of R&R (like prog rock) and although Tull isn't in the Hall they occupied a place in my high school days. Jethro Tull were regulars on late night network TV on Fridays as side entertainment at parties, apart from the girls in attendance.


One of Tull's hits is Locomotive Breath.
Still is in my opinion the greatest opening of a rock song ever. If you've never sampled it I suggest you do so.

We Built this City was a song by Starship in the mid 80s (formerly Jefferson Starship and Jefferson Airplane). Mainly fronted by Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas in those days.

Few weirdo factoids:

 - We Built this City was voted by VH1 sometime in the 90s (I think) as the worst song of all time. Ummmm, no. Is it canned? Sure but hardly the worst song ever.

- The song itself is a "f the man!", non corporate song if you listen to it. Which is ironic considering it's canned, "Corporate Rock".

- Songwriter was a guy named Martin Page. In the 80's most of us probably didn't know who that was. Collaborated a lot behind the scenes with big acts. By the Mid 90's? You may remember his solo album that became a big hit - In the House of Stone and Light. I still like that tune.

- Lastly, Mickey Thomas (mentioned above) who did much of the vocals for Starship and appears in a ton of the aforementioned song's video (BELOW - thats him in the still shot) - is from Cairo, Georgia - home of the Syrupmakers. If you're not familiar, Cairo is in the bottom western corner of Georgia - a stones throw from our esteemed Snaggie Lawyer in Dothan.

- Oh Also? Grace Slick will be 85 in October. Thats just weird.
