Bob Marley performed an original song entitled “Bored, She Hung Herself” in the infamous lost episode of the original _Hawaii Five-O_. This was also the title of that episode, which featured auto-erotic asphyxiation. Due to the controversy surrounding the manner of death in the story, CBS has never allowed a re-airing of the episode – not even in syndication, and Marley never performed the song again. ---

Marley’s song “I Shot the Sheriff” was originally written for an episode of Murder, She Wrote in which Tom Bosley’s character Sheriff Amos Tupper would be shot to death by special guest star Detective Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), who mistook him for a criminal known to fake a ludicrous so-called Maine down East accent. Due to the racial content of the episode, it never aired. ---

God am I sick of all this Caitlyn Jenner shit. Oops- that’s not wrong in any way: I really am sick of it. God I wish it would just go away. Oops, ditto. Nor is it wrong to say that I watched a lot of the 1976 Olympics (yeah- I’m that old), including a lot of BRUCE Jenner’s world record-breaking performance in the decathlon. It was thrilling. Nothing wrong there, either. Last try for wrongness: One reason BRUCE Jenner’s decathlon win was so thrilling was that it was the only track and field gold medal the USA won in those games. ---

Hawaii-Five-O was originally pitched as a Gilligan’s Island spin-off with The Skipper heading up a crack team of investigators, The Professor as the brains in the lab, and Mr Howell as the Evil Genius whose latest scheme was defeated every week. Mary-Anne and Ginger were there to wear bikinis. ---

The recent discovery of a Louisville Slugger at the Little Big Horn battlefield indicates that at least one or more Cleveland Indians were present for that fight.
