When I first saw this thread I came up with **Lenin’s Troll** in honor of Fremont’s two favorite statues.  
Musically, I humbly submit:

**Ike’n’TinaOverdrive** Bonus points for any trivia maven who remembers when the former Mr. and Mrs. Turner often played the clubs here in the '60’s.

**Ozzy Osmond**

**The Sun’ll Come Out Yer Marrow**

**Iron Madame Butterfly**

**Con’t Cry For Me, Kalakala**
