The place I work is a theatre supply warehouse, and the waiting area has magazines with titles like 'Stage Lighting Monthly*.' The most interesting article was about lighting Neil Young's latest concert tour (kind of a junkyard theme) - so then I thought 'hey, I don't actually know much about Neil Young**, I'll look him up.'
Fun facts about Neil Young:
Neil Young cannot be killed! Many forces have tried, including diabetes, drugs, a blood clot, an internet obituary for a different guy named Neil Young, and the last known polio outbreak in Ontario.
Neil Young loves model trains and blogs about them under the name "Clyde Coil." He invented a completely new system for controlling model trains for his son, who has CP.
Neil Young has directed movies as another of his alter egoes, "Bernard Shakey."
Neil Young has a spider named after him!***
* None of them are actually called Stage Lighting monthly.
** I keep confusing him with Gordon Lightfoot.
***Roy Orbison has a beetle, though AFAIK none of the Beatles do.
