Look, you were making it sound like he was a superstar at 15. (He didnā€™t even join the band until right around his 18th birthday.) No offense, but I hardly consider the distinction between fame at 15 and fame at 20 to be trivial. > [@Toxylon](#): > > Letā€™s also mull over the Murica-centric ā€œhere in the U.S.ā€ bit. BCR were HUGE in Europe, not just in the UK, but in Central Europe and especially Scandinavia too. Check their [discography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_City_Rollers_discography#Singles). The numbers say otherwise. ---

It wasnā€™t that long ago that I was watching a rerun of The Rifleman and I saw Lucas gun down someone right in front of his son. I tried to find out how many people his father killed in front of him. I found that Lucas killed 120 people during the run of the show. I couldnā€™t find out exactly how many were in front of his kid. A lot from what I recall. Thatā€™s a lot of childhood trauma. ---

Kirk Douglasā€™ wife has died at 102. Anne Douglas. How many people get two parents that pass 100? Iā€™d love to know the odds on that. Not Michael Douglasā€™ mother, but I imagine he was still very, very close since Kirk was married to her for a super long time. She was 102 and died younger than her husband, who made it to 103. ---
