Over/Under for today is 5
Raz Over/Under is 7
4 for me. Morning, ShortBdayListDave.
Raz will probably kill it with the top of that list.
Sheesh. 11.
Like I said. Morning, KnowEmAllRaz.
Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm a serious guitar player, and I started playing in the summer of 1978, when I was 13. So I'm going to know Buddy Holly, and that means I'm going to know who the drummer of the Crickets is. I'm also going to know who Rudy Schenker and Glenn Tilbrook are, and I've played "Brown Eyed Girl" so many freaking times I have nightmares about it, so Van Morrison.
But I didn't start as a guitarist, I started on piano, studying classical music...and I also watched Sesame Street as a child, so Itzhak Perlman. I'm Gen-X, so I remember the 80's, which means I know Debbie Gibson. And I was trying to make it in the music biz in the 90's, so I know who Jeff Russo is (not to mention Emerson Hart).
Then you've got the actors - Richard Gere and Chris Tucker. Those are gimmes. But I'm a major Dune geek, so I'm also aware who Stephen Henderson is because I've been debating his casting as Thufir Hawatt in the upcoming Dune movie with my friends who are Dune geeks.
I know Edwin Moses because I've always been fascinated by the hurdles since as a toddler I watched track practice at the high school behind my grandparents house that my mom had graduated from. And the 1984 Olympics were only two years after the movie Chariots of Fire came out, with that major hit by synthesist Vangelis. Soooo....yeah.
There it is.
