“The Girlfriend singer – who is married to Sum 41 guitarist Deryck Whibley – is so worried about her pointy molars she is determined to have them corrected. A source close to the singer told America’s Star magazine: ‘Avril hates her fangs. She is planning on having them filed down by a cosmetic dentist.’”

Mike is hosting a “Fin de decade” party, and to stay consistent with popular places like Studio 54, he has hired a bouncer to weed out the riff-raff.
“Bouncer: Hey Mike! Elton John is outside. Should I let him in ?
Mike: Are you kidding ? He hasn’t had a hit in years! Rough him up!
Bouncer: Right.”

Duke gets captured by Iranian rebels after attempting a parachute drop on behalf of Jim Andrews. While being interrogated, Duke makes reference to the actor:
Armed Iranian solider: A tourist ? With over $200,000 in cash ?
Duke: So I’m not Karl Malden. Sue me.
Karl Malden is an actor of Serbian origins that played roles in such classics as: Little Women (1949), A Streetcar Names Desire (1951), Polyanna (1960), The Sting II (1983), and has made guest appearances on many TV shows, including The West Wing in 2000.
June 22-23, 1979 – John Denver
Jim Andrews to Duke, upon visiting Duke’s mansion:
“Jim: Duke! You’ve got John Denver in your backyard!
Duke: I’d like to explan. See, both the dobermans are at the vet’s…
John Denver (singing): Take me hoome, country road..
Jim: I can’t believe it! John Denver!
Duke: I hate to waste a good silver-tip, but this is an emergency..
John Denver (singing): West Virginiaa..
[BLAM!]
John Denver: Darn it all, Duke! Cut that out!
Jim: What a shot!
Duke (thinking): Oh, hell!
Jim: Clean through the guitar neck!
Duke (thinking): The darn sight must be off!”
I almost forgot what an amazing performance Jeff Healey gave in the 1989 hit movie “Road House“. He plays the role of Cody, a local guitarist playing in a very raunchy bar. We first meet Cody when James Dalton (played by Patrick Swayze) is hired as a bouncer. In addition to playing guitar like only Jeff Healey can, his character stays on-set, and appears throughout the movie, both as an artistic musician and a brilliant actor.
Born with cancer of the eye, he never let his blindness stop him from becoming one of the greatest blues and jazz musicians of the 20th century. Sadly, after being cancer-free for 38 years, the cancer spread to his legs, and he died shortly afterwards on March 2nd of this year.
If you haven’t yet heard the amazing talents of this great Canadian superstar, I invite you to do it now. His passing away has struck a chord in many people, and he will be missed.

Zonker is getting ready for his outing to Studio 54 with Mark:
“Mark: Serious boogie togs, man! You are definitely ready to roll!
Zonker [dressed in white polyester in front of a mirror]: You think it’s me ?
Mark: Sure. You and six million other John Travolta look-alikes!
Zonker: Who ?
Mark: Who ? Did you just say “Who”, Zonker ?
Zonker [thinking]: Uh-Oh.. Here we go again..”
Despite being a high school drop-out, John Travolta landed roles in Broadway musicals (including the popular Grease!). From there, his career blossomed, but he will always be remembered as the talented disco dancer Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, which became a hit in 1977, one year after Travolta gained fame playing Danny Zuko in the movie Grease!, and two years before Zonker realizes who he is.
