Or, I could give another clue. I caught some more presidential trivia last night. I'm going to do it. Our U.S. presidents have sported some fine facial hair, with beards and mustaches and side burns. Chester A Arthur comes to mind. Who was the last U.S. president to have facial hair?

What Dreams May Come Annabella Sciorra Rocky

Who's up, what's up, next up?

Now I'm thinking Marx Brothers, but I don't think they overlapped Hepburn at all. George

"Aqualung" and "Bungle in the Jungle" George

George

Shelley Duvall Popeye Robin Williams George

I don't think Raf has done one of these in a while, so he can have it if he wishes. George

"You sing high, huh?" "Yes,I have a falsetto voice." "My grandmother, she's got a falsetto teeth." "I love good music." "So do I. Let's get out of here!" "This is the first time I've been out in a canoe since I saw The American Tragedy." "Oh, you're perfectly safe, Professor, in this boat." "I don't know. I was going to get a flat bottom but the girl at the boat house didn't have one." "Well you know, Professor, I could go on like this, drifting and dreaming forever. What a day! Spring in the air." "Who, me? I should spring in the air and fall in the lake?" "Oh, Professor, you're full of whimsy." "Can you notice it from there? I'm always that way after I eat radishes." "Last week at this same hour I told you that Mrs. Moskowitz was expecting a blessed event. Well, last night, Mrs. Moskowitz had twins. O-kay, Mr Moskowitz!" " As you know, there is constant warfare between the red and white corpuscles. Now then, baboons, what is a corpuscle?" "That's easy. First is-a captain, then is-a lieutenant, then is-a corpuscle." "That's fine. Why don't you bore a hole in yourself and let the sap run out? We now find ourselves among the Alps. The Alps are a simple people who live on a diet of rice and old shoes. Beyond the Alps lies more Alps, and 'the Lord Alps those that Alp themselves.' We then come to the bloodstream. The blood rushes from the head down to the feet, gets a look at those feet, and rushes back to the head again. This is known as Auction Pinochle. Now in studying your basic metabolism, the first thing we do is listen to your heart's beating. And if your Hearts are beating anything but Diamonds and Clubs, it's because your partner is cheating - or your wife." "Let us examine the circulatory system. Here is the liver." "What- no bacon? I'd send that back if I were you."

As for Jethro Tull songs, I know George used to say he only knew "Aqualung", so I'm also curious which is the other song. It's not like they only had one other song that charted, it could be any of a number, in more than one decade.

"I beg to differ WordWolf, Buffalo Springfield was a huge band. Still is. Stephen Stills and Neil Young are a big a part of rock history, first as CSNY, and second as solo artists. Stills alone stands as one of the most talented musicians in rock and roll. Neil Young goes without saying. It is not exactly an especially famous band. Stop people at random on the street, and see if they can name one song by that band. If more than 2 in 5 people have heard of them and can name a SECOND song (after "For What It's Worth") I'll be VERY shocked. It would not surprise me if nobody under 50 could even name "For What It's Worth" if pressed to name a Buffalo Springfield song. Apparently, the band formed in 1966 and released 3 albums and lots of singles through 1968. For all I know, they were staggeringly popular during THAT time. To say that they still are is an exaggeration. "Stephen Stills and Neil Young are a big a part of rock history, first as CSNY, and second as solo artists." Both CSNY and Neil Young are not unknown to this day, but, as of 2025, I'd argue that neither is "especially famous" either. I never said they were unknown, were not influential in their day, nor not remembered fondly by their fans. I've listened to their music and will always remember, in particular, one song from each of them. They are a part of HISTORY. " I know I'm a big fan." I'm a fan of Warren Zevon, and I don't expect anyone else to jump in and say he was a huge artist. I'd argue that Tom Petty's famous, and has had hits in his solo career, in the Heartbreakers, and as a Traveling Wilbury alongside George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison. For that matter, Roy Orbison's remembered in certain circles, as a solo artist, as a Wilbury, and among some diehard Star Trek fans (one of his songs appeared in "Star Trek-First Contact"). However, it's arguable that he's "especially famous" now. Again, ask the average person on the street. Among those not his fans, they may not even be able to name one of his songs. (I can name 2 of his, not counting the Wilburys.) For that matter, anyone can be a fan of any artist or band. I'm not going to criticize fans of Gilbert O'Sullivan, Herman's Hermits, or the ilk, and I don't expect them to get on my case for liking Offspring. I hope you enjoy the bands and artists of which you're a fan. I know I enjoy plenty whether or not I consider myself a fan.(Save Ferris, Smash Mouth, The Breeders, The Verve, Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes....) I was playing Procul Harum a few hours ago. But there's a difference between "I like their music" and "most people like their music", and even "most people think they're incredibly talented." The Bee Gees were popular, and it's a whole other discussion whether or not they were talented- but they were popular. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect acknowledgement that some songs did not air in my lifetime, and to accept that I won't know the majority of such songs.

*listens to the song* I've never heard this song before. *looks it up* This song charted in 1967, and has probably not gotten airplay since the very early 1970s. In fact, this might never have gotten airplay in my lifetime. We can go back and see old movies that we've missed, but we can't go back to listen to radio broadcasts we've missed. Very few of them have been saved. (No, I don't want to know if you've saved one somewhere, my point was that, as a whole, they are an ephemeral medium and once it's aired, it's gone. Movies are preserved and aired in a way that many songs are not. *checks the entire Buffalo Springfield boxed set playlist* I'm still only familiar with "For What It's Worth." Is there an online station nowadays that's playing a lot of Buffalo Springfield? I might give them a listen if they exist- and are not blocked outside the US by Clear Channel.

CORRECT! Yours, Human!

Yet, she does not appear in this movie.

Scavenger Hunt Scatman Crothers The Shining

The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the team with the best baseball record in 2025, the Milwaukie Brewers, and advanced to the 2025 World Series, and will now await the outcome of the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays series, with Seattle currently holding a 3 games to 2 advantage.

It has an Audrey Hepburn feel to me.

And So it Goes... Morning Glory Mad Money

Ali MacGraw Goodbye Columbus Richard Benjamin

That's the line from "Cool Hand Luke", George. Happens to the best of us.

So, correct, both of you together have come up with 3 names. Chester Arthur, Abe Lincoln, Will McKinley, Warren Harding and James K Polk were all in the 50s at the time of their demise. Whoever wants it is then up.

I beg to differ WordWolf, Buffalo Springfield was a huge band. Still is. Stephen Stills and Neil Young are a big a part of rock history, first as CSNY, and second as solo artists. Stills alone stands as one of the most talented musicians in rock and roll. Neil Young goes without saying. I know I'm a big fan. Which two songs George? Maybe you might remember this one WordWolf.

Actually, I can name TWO Jethro Tull songs... George

You guys know he wasn't really a Dr., right?

I've gone through some of the others- "docvic" and "slick vic" were some of the more longstanding ones. I tend to use "vpw", although lately I've been using "the plagiarizing rapist" in conversation, interspersed with "wierwille" to avoid any confusion with, say, Jeffrey Epstein or someone else.
