A friend of mine hates Rihanna's "We Found Love" because the chorus is basically the same line repeated over and over

She's led a fascinating life. The book opens with her grandmother driving little Brix to Disneyland, only to lose control and crash at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom!

Yes, but what I was trying to say is that her life before the Fall was just as weird and wild as what came later.

14 years ago, I stupidly hurt my left arm. It's never moved 100 percent normally again, but, ironically, I draw much better now!

A very unexpected pro, that's for sure! Something similar happened to Golden Age animator Bob McKimson (creator of Foghorn Leghorn,) who suffered a head injury in a car crash -- after he recovered, he found he could draw much better than before!

Foghorn Leghorn was based on the character of Senator Beauregard Cleghorn, originated by Kenny Delmar as part of the Allen's Alley segment of Fred Allen's radio show, and also featured in his own movie, That's a Joke, Son! . Unfortunately, once Foghorn Leghorn became popular and Warner Bros. held the copyrights/trademarks, Delmar actually had get their permission to play the Cleghorn character in later years.

Ah, showbiz...where dreams come true, but always at a price.
Walt Kelly's comic strip Pogo had a loudmouthed politician bear named P.T. Bridgeport.
