Used to be a singer back in the day going by the name of Englebert Humperdink. Talk about a risk to change his name to that in the middle of his career.

I can only assume that was a stage name. There was a classical composer (late 1800's maybe) who had that name for real. Might have been just as goofy in those days, we'll never know.

Which reminds me of backintheday when folks thought that there was a dude in Jethro Tull named Jethro Tull. But that's not the 'aha'.

The 'aha' was when folks found out that Jethro Tull was, in fact, a real person. From olden tymes.

...of Hansel and Gretel fame. I think the name isn't as funny sounding in Germany.

Had to Wiki him. He doesn't look much like a rocker. Nice to have the seed drill, though.

Ha.

There's a race in Florida called the John Holmes 50k.

I like to tell people "I think the course is probably a little long and not very hard."

Most folks just take me at face value.

On the contrary -- that course will bring you to your knees.
