    Naw' date=' it's widely reported that Dylan got them high for the first time.[/quote']

    Yeah I've read that.

    And I've heard the Hendrix bit too, wrapping a tab or two in his bandana over a cut on his forehead.

    How about this one:

    If you go see the Pete Best Band nowadays (original Beatles drummer), he has a second drummer who is much younger than he is. In the middle of the show, though, Pete introduces the guy as his brother.

    The story as told to me begins with Neil Aspinall, original Beatles roadie. Pete Best's mother ran a club in the basement of their house and the Beatles used to play there and rehearse there often. Aspinall was renting a room in the house and apparently became romantically involved with Pete Best's mother...one thing lead to another and the roadie knocked her up. A short time later they fired Pete Best from the band. His little brother is the roadie's kid.

    Meantime, the roadie worked his way up and was the director of Apple Records from its inception until April of this year when he finally stepped down. Anybody heard anything like this?

    True at least according to several Beatle bios I have read.

    Legend has it that Jimmy Page played the solo on You Really Got Me by The Kinks. True?

    He played on the session, but not the solo ... I think he played tambourine or something odd like that. (Source : The led Zep bio Hammer Of The Gods)

    I know I am treading on dangerous ground, but here goes.

    I love Freddie, think he is a great vocalist and Queen were an awesome group, but ... given his considerable vocal skills, I kind of wish he had delivered more heart and soul, blood and guts, emotionally intense heart rending performances. I'm not saying he never delivered that ("Show Must Go On", "Love Of My Life" and "Who Wants To Live Forever" being standout examples of this), but given how great a singer he was, I wish he had reached this emotional depth more often.

  23. Second City's Next Comedy Legend

    in Soundboard

    Has anybody here been watching this show? Last night's episode had a finish I have never seen or heard of before in any reality series.

    For those who haven't seen it, the format is similar to Next Top Model in showing the contestant's living together as well as competing for the final prize, in this case a spot in the current Second City comedy troupe. By day they do various comedic competitions to try and win immunity. At night, they perform together at Second City in front of an audience and the panel of judges (former Second City members) in material they have written together. The judges then critique everyone's performance and progress, then declare who is safe until the last two contestants, who each have to perform an improv. The judges then declare who has been eliminated, and put their picture through the shredder.

    Well, last night they were down to 5 contestants, and it had gotten to the point where the last two were going to perform an improv, when one of the contestants who was safe stepped forward with a statement written by all of them. He said they felt they had all gelled together and grown together as a group, and requested that they all be allowed to stay together as a troupe with no cuts until the last episode, where one of them would be declared the winner. Cue remarks of disbelief and disapprobation from the judges, to the effect that they hadn't earned the right to be a troupe and were auditioning to become part of a troupe, and had agreed to be a part of an audition process that required eliminations, with Elvira Kurt (one of the judges) saying "How typically Canadian ... 'Why can't everyone win, just a little bit?'" Another one of the contestants said that was how they felt, and if they were going to cut one of them, they might as well cut all of them. Elvira Kurt replies, "You mean you would just disrupt the whole format of the show and walk out, just end the show right here?", to which Dave Thomas (another of the judges) said, "I'd like to see that!" Then all of the contestants as one walked off the stage and out of the theatre (Dave Thomas : "I guess I shouldn't have said that."), dissolve to "To be continued ..." graphic.

    Does anyone know of anything like this ever happening in any other reality series?
