Whitneys vocal performance on this song is stunning.

Kevin Costner's eulogy off Whitney at her funeral is very sweet.

Only reason why I don't look back on The Bodyguard as fondly as some is because of how overplayed I Will Always Love You was at the time.

Costner is also directly linked to (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, so is pretty much responsible for clogging the airwaves for a year or so.

Yep, and here is as a kid meeting Jim Root with his Dad, and then years later, recreating the photo.

 

Yep, shame he is an absolute dick though. Left Against Me via Twitter in 2012. Then Laura Jane Grace went on Twitter and posted all the stupid shit he had done whilst in the band.

“We once had a drummer who sprained his ankle and wanted our tour manager to call 911 and have an ambulance come for him #entitlement”

When our tour manager said no, the drummers Daddy called him and scolded him saying the drummer was a “star” and needed to be treated as such”

“We once had a drummer who would go behind our back and tell house light people to focus all stage lights on him. #entitlement”

“We once had a drummer who threatened to sue us after he quit via twitter #entitlement”

“We once had a drummer who told me to move aside on stage cause the audience couldn’t see enough of him #entitlement”

The Beach Boys version of Barbara Ann is not the original, The Reagants version is.

When people talk about the "interval" between notes in music, they mean the number of notes in the scale/the number of keys on a piano, not the time between them playing.

Two days after you posted this he was sacked by Slipknot on social media and he claims to have been 'blindsided' by the decision.

 

I would sort of be minded to have forgiven the Against Me stuff as he'd have been 21/22 and everyones a dick at that age, especially kids brought up in showbiz, but he's in his 30's now and drama is still following him.

Only Fools & Horses was nearly called Readies, Dads Army was nearly called The Fighting Tigers and Drop The Dead Donkey was nearly called Dead Belgians Don't Count or Dead Kuwaitis Don't Count.

Slow Monday so far.

Mauritania was the last country on earth to abolish slavery (in 1981) and only made it a criminal offence to own slaves in 2007.

Today I found out there's a whole subset of people who believe in voluntary trepanning to help with things like anxiety and depression. Well, it'd give them something else to focus on, I guess...

There was a Sudden Death remake released in 2020, swapping out hockey and JCVD for basketball and Michael Jai White! Looks shit. Will watch.

TIL the McFly song “5 Colours In Her Hair” was inspired by Suze from the hate crime tv show “As If”.

TIL after googling her. The actress who played Sooz, Emily Corrie left acting in 2009 and joined the Royal Navy. Then followed that in 2015 with this -

 

In November 2015, Corrie was sentenced to twelve months in prison for dangerous driving, and four months for excessive alcohol consumption, following an incident in August of that year when she was apprehended on her way to her own hen party and found to be five times the legal alcohol limit.

Fucking hell! I knew about the Navy but not going to the big house!
