Insane Clown Posse

I am quite surprised that Leo Sayer's classic song of urban multi-instrumentalist alienation, "One Man Band", was written for the toughest man in rock, Roger Daltrey. See for yourself on this excellent video, uploaded by the equally excellent Paris1919:



PS: I apologise for Leo Sayer's lack of afro.

Validate Singleton

I have watched "Boyz n the Hood". It stars Cuba Gooding Jr, an actor what I saw in real life last year, at the San Sebastian Film Festival, where he was promoting a truly terrible film in which he has physical relations of a sexual nature with BAFTA award-winning actress Helen Mirren. Had I known that he had hung out with Compton's Most Riddled With Attitude Problems, I would have been more impressed. I believe the crucial shooting scene, where Ice Cube empties his clip, takes place in the same "parking lot" as the time travel sequence from the far superior "Back to the Future".
