speaking of older times and such, Mom and i were just talking about Georgeous George the wrestler. i'd never heard of him before but as a kid watched wrestling on tv once in a while.
i just had to look him up to read about him. he had a lot of influence on Muhammed Ali, LIberace, Elton John, etc. flamboyant, boastingful, bragging all the time, etc. funny stuff.

Did a teenage Mozart really transcribe Allegri’s Miserere, after hearing it once in the Vatican?
The almost unbelievable legend of how 14-year-old Mozart came to copy down Allegri’s Miserere, note for note, after hearing it just once.
