"Don't Fear The Reaper"  Blue Oyster Cult 1976

I saw them in LA play that tune in 1976. The guitar solo was great.

They must have made a fortune licensing that song for movies that want a cool tune to make their point or end with. I've heard it a bunch in movies over the years.

BTW, I need to inject again that there is no permanently dark side of the moon. The moon revolves around the earth but does not rotate on an axis, so in the new moon phase, the far side of the moon--the side we never see from earth--is fully illuminated. On a full moon, that side is completely dark.

Pink Floyd started that misconception. 

the one about pigs on the wing?

what that song needs is more cowbell!

No such thing as a constant dark side of the moon.

"Gee, I'm bored. Every day's the same old thing, same place different day... I miss the gold old days, hanging out with my hero, Sonic... Chasing bad guys, and blowing them away - Haha! But now, he's gone, and there's nothing left to do, but shop 'till I drop. There was always something fun to do with Sonic around. I really miss him."—Amy in the beginning of her story in Sonic Adventure

Tails has the most voice actors out of all of the characters, with nine English voice actors (counting his TV show and movie appearances). Often times, Tails was cast with young boy voice actors to provide a genuine youthful male voice for the role, although this would always cause the need to recast him once the voice actor's voice matured too far to continuing voicing him. In recent years, Tails has been voiced by females, in order to avoid the aforementioned issue.

I've read that the movie about Amarillo Slim was cancelled a few years ago because of the sexual scandals that came to light in the last years of his life. I think it would have been an interesting biopic, why cancel it? Sure, now he doesn't look so cool now, but is that even necessary? He was an icon, but not necessarily a "hero" like Lance Armstrong whose image can't anymore work like it did.

I suppose the idea was to commercially focus on his image more than on a real person.

@ Pulp   Thanks for the info on Amarillo Slim. I had too look up the details. Too bad his mind wasn't right when he was away from the Poker table.

My favourite quote:  The population in Amarillo has stayed the same over the last fifty years. Every time some woman gets pregnant, some man leaves town.
