Comment:

Memory is treacherous, as I sometimes say when talking to myself (a bad habit). Memory deceives and betrays and creates worlds that never existed, offers false pictures of the past to fill the vacant spaces of the present. Still, we mainly cherish the past as a happy time, the time before whatever happened to us happened.
Whew! That was a real downer. But events and emotions have been coming together lately in a perfect storm that threatens to upset the applecart I've been coasting along in. How could it have come to this? Not sure. But as William DeVaughn (and here Massive Attack) advise, just be thankful for what you've got.
Two quizzes and hopefully two winners of this mix, tracked and with artwork. #1- Which musician was named after a Russian gymnast? and #2- A couple years back, one of these musicians won a round of the NBC TV show, "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Which one?

To answer the quiz, ELP was named after the Russian Olympic gymnast Emersonlaka Palemerova, who got totally hosed by the judges in the vault competition in 1956 and barely escaped with a bronze medal.

I have no idea on the trivia, but love that BAD song especially. Not a big ELP fan (cute, Orchid), except a kind of kitzchy interest in Pictures at an Exhibition, which brings me back to 12th grade Humanities class.

Just in case Orchid hasn't got the answer right ( and I dearly hope she has ) the answers are..
1) Lida Husik and 2) Jai Uttal. I love this mix, especially tk 3 and the last 2.

No winners yet in the quiz, though Orchid certainly will win on style points.
