"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was really supposed to be "In The Garden of Eden".

When Doug Ingle (vocals) brought the song idea to the band he was drunk. He was slurring his words so bad that they couldn't understand him and wrote down the lyrics as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"...

Wait! I saw this on the Simpsons.

Chivas Regal is cheap, crap whisky. Scottish paint thinner, practically.

That time is long past, though. There was a time when I figured if there was Miller Geinuine Draft and Jack Daniels, I was set for the weekend...

And there are more drinkable "low end" blends out there. Highland Mist is a cheap blend that is smooth and sippable, as we discovered when my wife misremembered the name of Irish Mist whiskey liqueur.

I used to watch Iron Eagle (the original, not the sequel) in the 80's. I was probably about 8 years old, I guess. Big fan of the Viper since. Although I only knew it as the Fighting Falcon back then. Thigh mounted tape players and low level flying F-16s go hand in hand.

Those Israeli F-16A's were pretty cool in that movie. The USAF was all on board with it until they read the script and realized a teenager stealing an Air Force fighter was a major plot point. And the plot was....yeesh. Yeah.

The Big Bopper was from Beaumont.

The Big Bopper was from Beaumont.

And of course Buddy Holly was from Lubbock. Poor Ritchie Valens was only from Califronia.
