Theme Of The Week - True or False (courtesy of - ahem - me)
1...Axl Rose once beat up a guy because he said he (Rose) looked like Jon Bon Jovi. 2...Ozzy Osborne once snorted live ants. (Note from scran - Ozzy, not sure you're allowed to answer that one) 3...Marilyn Manson was once asked who was the weirdest performer, he or Ozzy Osborne. He replied "Ozzy, because the weirdest thing I've ever snorted was sea horses." 4...Alice Cooper once nearly hanged himself onstage during a performance. True - Reynolds. Part of the act involved a mock hanging where Alice placed his neck in a noose. The stunt was badly set up and the rope was wrongly attached to the support, so that he really did begin to hang himself. 5...Jerry Landis, Paul Kane, Gregory Harrison and True Taylor are all the same person. True - Reynolds. They're all aliases of Paul Simon. 6...The Captain and Tenille song "Love Will Keep Us Together" is actually about two men. 7..."I Can't Get No Satiafaction" was just a working title for the song of the same name. 8...Elvis Presley died while sitting on the toilet. True - Reynolds. His autopsy revealed that he had at least 10 drugs in his system at the time of death. The official cause of death was "heart failure while straining at stool." He died on the pot. 9...Elvis liked to shoot at flashbulbs in his swimming pool. True - Newswatcher. He used to like sitting around the pool eating watermelon. For entertainment, he would float flashbulbs in the water and shoot them with a .22. When hit, the bulbs would flash and sink to the bottom. 10..The Carpenters' song "We've Only Just Begun" was actually a bank commercial. 11..The Beatles song "Sexy Sadie" was about the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. True - Reynolds. The Beatles named him Sadie, and John Lennon called him sexy after he tried putting the make on Mia Farrow who was staying at the Mahareshi's retreat while the Beatles were there. 12..A chicken and egg dish ordered by Paul Simon in a Chinese restaurant inspired the song "A Mother And Child Reunion." True - Reynolds. 13..A tombstone epitaph inspired the song "To Know Him Is To Love Him." 14.."Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin after John had been talked out of marrying a six foot tall woman. 15..The actor who playd Mr. Green Jeans on the kiddy show "Captain Kangaroo" was Frank Zappa's father. False - Reynolds. Nobody really knows how this rumor started, but there is an instrumental on the Zappa album "Uncle Meat" called "Mr. Green Genes" and on the following album "Hot Rats" there's another instrumental called "Son Of Mr. Green Genes." The real father of FZ is FZ Sr. who was a research scientist at Lockheed before his retirement. 16..Billy Preston played keyboards at the last public performance of the Beatles. 17..k. d. lang refused to do a duet with Meatloaf because he is not gay.
