He played on some incredible albums - mad dogs and Englishmen, Layla and other assorted love songs, played with Zappa, the Byrds, Delaney and Bonnie (and friends), Donovan, Dr John, and so many more.
Incredible career

The tv show he was working on at the time was produced by Eddie Murphy. They ended up calling it “the royal family” but the working title was Chest Pains

Customer sentiment in cameras has been a thing in retail for some time. So has location analytics that give details on things like how displays and/or store departments are laid out in something that makes consumers stop

Reply to TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
I’m really surprised he didn’t know what teen spirit was - the commercials for it were played all the time back then. They were played a lot on MTV. It was hard to escape.
