So I just got this from the Ken Jennings weekly trivia email that I subscribe to....and for all the articles I've read about him & all the talking about him that goes on here, this bit was still unknown to me.

Barry Zito has a Hollywood celebrity uncle.  Who is he?


I had to Google this as I had no idea.  Wow!  Veddy interrrethtink.

LOL! Does this mean Barry will go back to the A's next season and say that 2007 was "all a dream"?

We can only hope it looks something like the original!

Tim Goodman just pronounced Aidin Vaiziri's first name as "eye-DEEN", rather than "AY-din".  Can that be right? Is that the way Vaiziri's parents pronounced it, or is it an affectation he came up with himself?

This is even scarier than Isaac Hayes being a Scientologist: apparently Gladys Knight is a convert to...  Mormonism.  Use your imagination indeed.

According to imdb.com, Duffy's wife is the sister of Zito's mother.

ROTFL!

This came up because I stumbled across a Gladys Knight special on the BYU channel on digital cable.  Apparently her only complaint about Mormonism has been "the music" (the implication being it was a bit too white).  And they interviewed this incredibly white woman who said to Gladys, "well then let's all get together and sing some gospel!" as if it were, y'know, the easiest thing in the world for white folks in Utah to do.

I've been listening to day to 2 Dusty Springfield double-CDS, Dusty in Memphis (the 2nd CD is bonus tracks) and Dusty in London.  Listening to Memphis led me to do some googling -- I never knew that both "I Don't Want To Hear it Anymore" and "Just One Smile" (I know the latter from the first BS&T LP) are early Randy Newman compositions. Interesting web page detailing covers of his early stuff:

I have those same comps, and yeah, Dusty "got" Randy in a way few others did.  (TANC: I was watching Dusty vids on YouTube last night, and her post-"What Have I Done to Deserve This" efforts, um, lacked effort.)  IDWTHIA is a major highlight that deserved more exposure.  "And the walls ... are much too thin."
