From, that piece:

The first commercial, “Old Home Filler-Up an’ Keep on a-Truckin’ Caf?,” proved so popular (it won a Clio Award) that Fries began to write a series of truck-driving songs with Chip Davis, who’d go on to form the neo-classical group Mannheim Steamroller.

Sentences that take a turn.

This is incredibly sad. Mike Bossy is my all time favorite hockey player. Growing up in Michigan during the 1970s as a Red Wings fan we didn't have much to cheer about. Notre Dame had a player in the 1970s named Dave Bossy who was Mike Bossy's cousin, so I began to root for Mike and the Islanders when I saw the name in a hockey preview guide a couple of years after Dave Bossy graduated. You had to work really hard in those days in a lot of places to follow the NHL and Bossy's exploits seemed like they were from another world. When Gretzky scored 50 goals in 39 games just a year after Bossy became only the second NHL player to score 50 goals in 50 games I remember thinking Bossy could have done that too if none of the guys on the ice with him bothered to play any defense, and Gretzky never had that problem!

Taylor was in some cool docs- one Stewart Copeland did that you can find on yourtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBma...tewartCopeland

And a netflix doc "Count Me In"- I'm sure he's in a lot more than that- but some good stuff there. While he's known for his rock and pop drumming, he's also good up on the history of drums.
