I wasn't born yet, so I wasn't aware of the issue, but I guess it was Kristin Shepard, his sister-in-law and former mistress.
Just in case anyone was still wondering.

Bo Diddley found this out himself on November 20, 1955. Diddley was the first African-American ever to appear on the show and also the first to be banned.
Apparently he was supposed to perform a cover of "Sixteen Tons" but chose instead, without informing anyone ahead of time, to play his number one Elusive Red Tigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06843488661452228103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326755795884843855.post-91777918092333593162014-11-19T17:21:00.000-06:002014-11-19T17:21:00.108-06:00TrololoElusive Red Tigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06843488661452228103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326755795884843855.post-57179038007033638332014-11-18T17:06:00.001-06:002014-11-18T17:06:54.516-06:00What Happened on November 18thWell, in the music world, several things happened on November 18th, including some birthdays.
Singer Kim Wilde was born in 1960.
And two years later, Metallica's Kirk Hammett joined the world. Do you think he was born with that teeny tiny mustache?
Also, on this day in 1993, Nirvana recorded their famous MTV Unplugged session at Sony Studios in New York. I did like Nirvana at the time, Elusive Red Tigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06843488661452228103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326755795884843855.post-58095029018663110202014-11-11T17:55:00.002-06:002014-11-11T17:55:25.756-06:00Sad PatrolOnce upon a time, I thought that the song "Sad But True" by Metallica was actually called "Sad Patrol." And even now that I know better, that's still what I hear.
I googled "Sad Patrol" today and came to realize that I am not the only person that has thought that. So there.
Also, different song, but this made me laugh.

Now, I'm not saying that I always walk into the store and know exactly what I need, go straight to it and get out of the store. Sometimes I have no idea what I'm getting and have to look around some. HOWEVER, I am always aware of others around me, and make sure that I'm out of the way of other shoppers.

And, oh yeah, my boyfriend happens to be in it! My opinion will probably seem biased due to that connection, so I will just let you check them out for yourselves!
You can see them next on October 24, so get in your car and head to this show!
And be sure to check out their music video, Insane Gesture:

First, it is Be Bald and Be Free Day. I guess that means it's a good day to celebrate your lack of hair! Or maybe shave your head!
Although, I'm not sure this bald head is one I would celebrate:
It's also Spiderman's birthday!! Happy birthday Spidey!

It made me think about my favorite song from the movie- I Wanna Be Like You, so I did a little research on it.
The song was written by Louis Prima and written by Robert and Richard Sherman and released in 1967.
It has actually been covered many times throughout the years by artists Elusive Red Tigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06843488661452228103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326755795884843855.post-32045552958551496082014-10-08T15:10:00.000-05:002014-10-08T15:10:59.307-05:00National Carry a Tune WeekApparently we are currently in the middle of National Carry a Tune Week. I really had no idea what this was, so I checked out the website to learn more about it.
The event first began in 2001 when a composer and music preservationist named Roger Hall had the idea of remember the victims of September 11th through music, asking people to select tunes for a week of remembrance in October.

This book was really my first foray into the world of Amish fiction. To be honest, I wasn't really aware of it as a literary genre. So when I received a copy to review, I really had no idea what to expect. I do know that I wasn't expecting it to be a page-turner that I didn't want to put down. It was.
The story revolves around Beatrice Zook, a young woman that believes she never wants to be Elusive Red Tigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06843488661452228103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326755795884843855.post-17313950177060413692014-10-03T07:30:00.000-05:002014-10-03T07:30:00.960-05:00This Day in MusicHere are some of the fun things that have happened in the music world on October 3rd.

On this day in 1945, 10-year old Elvis Presley made his first public appearance at the Mississippi Alabama Dairy Show. He took second in the talent competition.

And since I can write about whatever random thing I want to, I'm gonna do it!
However, I don't really consider myself an expert on elbows, so I really just scrounged around for some fun elbow facts for you all. So here you go!
