Reply to comment by DadsRGR8 in TIL Before he was an actor, JOE PESCI was a barber and a musician. In his earliest days, he played guitar with several bands, including JOEY DEE AND THE STARLIGHTERS, an outfit that JIMI HENDRIX and Joe played guitar with at different times in the 1960s. by ftank318
You’re gonna be glad for that knowledge if you get held up by a mugger who says "You're going to die tonight unless you can tell me the name of the album Joe Pesci put out when he was a little kid."

Reply to comment by bolanrox in Til that the last time a Rolling Stones single reached No1 in the UK charts was Honky Tonk Women in 1969, despite them releasing 15 albums in the 53 years since then. by WiredAndTeary
And they didn’t even write that themselves. They had to give kd lang a writer’s credit because Mick accidentally borrowed the chorus from “Constant Craving.”
It’s pretty good for late-period Stones though.

Reply to TIL American writer Jack Kerouac served on SS Dorchester which was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 3 February 1943. Kerouac would have also been on the ship during the attack, but for a telegram he received from coach Lou Little, asking him to return to Columbia University to play football. by History-Guy111111
Damn, I thought I knew everything cool about Kerouac - I’ve read three biographies and a ton of general Beat history. Thanks, OP!
