Born Oscar Jackson, Jr. in California, Paris earned a degree in economics from the University of California-Davis (near the San Francisco Bay Area); but hip-hop appealed to him more, and he founded his own record label, Scarface... He retired from hip-hop not long after and put his economics degree to use as a successful stockbroker.

On The 'Stomp-Stomp-Clap' Section Of 'We Will Rock You'

"I had this idea that, if we did it enough times and we didn't use any reverb or anything, that I could build a sound that would work. We were very lucky -- we were working in an old, disused church in North London, and it already had a nice sound. And there were some old boards lying around, but they just seemed ideal to stamp on. So we piled them up and started stamping. And they sounded great anyway. But being a physicist, I said, 'Suppose there were 1,000 people doing this; what would be happening?' And I thought, 'Well, you would be hearing them stamping. You would also be hearing a little bit of an effect, which is due to the distance that they are from you.' So I put lots of individual repeats on them. Not an echo but a single repeat at various distances. And the distances were all prime numbers. Now, much later on, people designed a machine to do this. But that's what we did. When we recorded each track, we put a delay of a certain length on it. And none of the delays were harmonically related. So there's no echo on it whatsoever, but the clapped sound -- they spread around the stereo, but they also kind of spread from a distance from you -- so you just feel like you're in the middle of a large number of people stamping and clapping."

This isn't so much unlikely, but I didn't know it:

Kerri Kenney of early 90s grrrl band Cake Like is now far better known for Reno 911 and The State.

I thought she did The State before Cake Like. I remember being a fan of the show and reading about her releasing Mr. Fireman, and then that album with the flies on it.

Shanté retired when she was 25 to focus her attention on obtaining a higher education. She went on to receive a Ph.D. in psychology, eventually running her own practice and building a family in New York. She stayed involved with the entertainment industry by being a mentor to young, female rappers and taking part in a series of Sprite commercials that highlighted freestyling hip-hop artists.

The lead singer of heavy metal rock band Iron
Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, announced plans
in May 2012 to open an aviation centre in St
Athan, South Wales that will bring up to 1,000
new jobs to the area.

Mr Dickinson, who has sold more than 85 million
records worldwide, is also a commercial
airline pilot and aviation entrepreneur. The
singer said that his new company, Cardiff Aviation,
will aim to provide specialist aviation support
services that include training and aircraft
maintenance to clients such as Boeing.

“We‘d expect to create up to 1,000 jobs within
18 months, based on the level of interest and
commitment from aircraft manufacturers and
operators,“ Mr Dickinson said in a press statement.
“We‘re coming into this enterprise with
the knowledge that we‘ll also be bringing
business to South Wales.“ Aircraft up to the size
of Boeing 767 will be maintained at the facility.

Chewbacca Kaboom.

Speaking of Dickinsons, and beating a dead horse (leave it to me to always mention Catherine Wheel plus I've mentioned this new venture before):

Rob Dickinson (Bruce's cousin and former frontman of Catherine Wheel) is the founder and creative director of the California based coach build company Singer Vehicle Design.

I don't actually have a television myself BECAUSE ITS BENEATH ME but I was in a hotel room with a chick recently and we turned the TV on who is on there but one Huey Morgan, formerly and possibly still of mafioso rock rap group Fun Lovin' Criminals presenting a fluffy animal show called 'Pet Nation'!

We watched it. Chicks like fluffy animal shows as I'm sure all you know.
