8
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.719
baking powder or soda, don't matter which one. They're really
9
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.159
funny to make with kids because you make them in

Popeye had to go get her back by dodging objects.
58
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.360
That Bluto was thrown at him. Well, they couldn't get
59
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.719
the licensing for it, so Bludo became a gorilla. Popeye
60
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.159

like a punk band. They meloed out and changed the
169
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.480
name of simple Minds. Simple Minds. It's a line from
170
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.799
a David Bowie song, Don't You Forget About Me? Live
171
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.799
and Kicking, Synctify yourself all the things she said, that's
172
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.720
some of their heads. They do some shows here in
173
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.720
the States every couple of years. They pretty much spend
174
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.320
their time over in Europe and England, though Jimmy married
175
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.120
Chrissy Hine for six years from the Pretenders. Yeah, they
176
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.279
had a daughter. Then he married actress Patsy Kinsepp for
177
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.320
four years and they had a son. I'm all I want.
178
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.440
A rock and study.
179
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.559
Analogy.
180
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.200
That was Courtney Love when she sang and played guitar
181
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.799
for the band Hole. She was born in San Francisco
182
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.879
in nineteen sixty four, but she grew up in Oregon.
183
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.399
She's sixty two. Back in nineteen eighty eight in Los Angeles.
184
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.840
She plays an ad in the Music newspaper, saying she
185
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.279
wanted to start a band. Her influences were Big Black, Sonic,
186
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.080
Youth and Fleetwood. Neck Hole was formed. Now, I guess
187
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.360
they were more aut rock to me than they were grinds.
188
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.759
They broke up in twenty twelve. Courtney, She's done some acting.
189
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.480
She was in the movie Sid and Nancy, The People
190
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.399
Versus Larry flint Man on the Moon. She married Kirk
191
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.840
Kabaine in nineteen ninety two. They had a daughter. Then
192
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.320
Kirk killed himself in nineteen ninety four. I'm gonna find
193
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:51.120
a month, I said, the nicety home in Coding Hole
194
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:57.879
from Yeah, they're gonna rip it home, taking that sound
195
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:04.679
roughing on my bed. Then I'm king because I can't
196
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.559
forget him. That was Jack White when he sang for
197
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.919
the White Stripes. Jack's fifty one. He was born in
198
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.759
Detroit in nineteen seventy five. Now, him and his wife
199
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.960
at the time, Meg, they formed White Stripes in nineteen
200
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.720
ninety seven. Some of their heads I fell in Love
201
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.080
with the Girl, seven Nation, Army Blue, Orchard Ikey Thump.
202
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.279
Now they actually divorced in two thousand, but they kept
203
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.600

204
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.759

nominated for thirty three Grammys. He's won twelve times now.
206
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.600
When Jack married Meg White, that was back in nineteen
207
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.120
seventy seven or nineteen ninety seven. Like I said, yeah,
208
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.200
he took her name yeah, and then when they divorced
209
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:42.919
