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.

Good ol' Neil.
I can even forgive him for the time my brother came home plastered past coherence, tried to make me drink Kahlua, did a brief serenade of Heart of Gold and then passed out in the bathroom.

We call call Gordy Lightfoot the hometown boy, as he's just about the only person of note ever to be associated with us lol

I love wacky trade magazines. I've got an issue of "Tactical Knife" magazine that I bought because of the letter column that started out with a guy extolling the virtues of this magazine over "all those other Knife magazines".
