The giant monster that Arnold fights at the end of Conan the Destroyer had Andre the Giant in the suit. Makes sense-who else are you gonna get?
On the back of the first John Denver’s Greatest Hits album, there’s a pic of him and one of his dogs sitting in the sunny woods. One of the liner notes says John and Murphy are managed by Jerry Weintraub…. Who the hell is Murphy? I scanned every single piece of info I could find on JD. Was it a fellow instrumentalist? Was it a fellow songwriter he was doing a cover tune from? Michael (“Wildfire”) Murphy? I wracked my brain for years.
Murphy is the doggy in the picture. 
Don’t tell John, but Jerry was only taking 5% from Murphy.

Combo does not check out. 
Was watching Linda Ronstadt sing “You’re No Good”…paid attention to her introducing her band cause I wanted to see if I knew anyone she introduced. I recognized Andrew Gold’s name, so I checked him out.
Dude wrote "Lonely Boy, “Thank You For Being a Friend” (!) and “Spooky Scary Skeletons”???

That’s the auto signature on my email. I forgot to delete it.
Sorry, I shouldn’t have quoted it then. Can a Mod delete that part of my post?
This one could be my wild imagination, but the title of Terry Pratchett’s The Unadulterated Cat seems like a riff on, or reference to, Albert Lewin’s The Unaltered Cat.
It’s not unrealized as much as unknown, but TIL that Mitt Romney and Don Bluth were cousins.
The legend/ballad of John Henry, the Steel-Driving Man. I had always assumed that his goal was just to drive as much steel as humanly possible, so he could beat the machine, and that it was unfortunate that giving it his all wouldn’t leave any margin for surviving. But I just realized the other day that he actually wanted to die, because he knew that even if he won the contest on that day, the machines would win in the end, and he didn’t want to live in that world.
