Very few people in the world have this ability.
I've seen her 20/20 special or whatever it is. These people live in what I would consider a nightmare. Its time that heals trauma or sadness in part because the memory and emotion can become separate in the brain. If you can literally put yourself into the EXACT situation mentally down to the simplest detail of a shitty day or situation, its got to be very hard to feel any peace or closure from it. You essentially have every day of your life feel like the day before (for better or worse)
+100000. How do you not go literally crazy?

The most disappointing fact about John Legend is that Legend is a later add on.
As cringy as John “Cougar” Mellencamp.

Everyone knows Beto O’Rourke was in a band, but it’s noteworthy that one of his band mates was Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who was also in At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta. Flea played bass on TMV’s first album and they toured with RHCP at some point, which confused almost every fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as their musical styles are ... really, really different.
Chris Cornell was originally a drummer.
Josh Groban is an excellent Guitar Hero player.
Everyone knows Beto O’Rourke was in a band? Um, no.

PP and English major. Like another PP who’s adopted and remembers fellow adoptees, I keep track of English majors.
Don Henley was an English literature major.
I completely see that about Don Henley😄.
His songs are beautiful, poetic masterpieces. End of the Innocence and Boys of Summer — masterpieces and 2 of my all-time favorites.
He also founded The Walden Woods Project in 1990 to prevent 2 large commercial and housing developments from being built in the historic area of Walden Pond in Massachusetts made famous by Henry David Thoreau. I can see how his love for literature would have inspired him to champion that cause:

Reminds me of the line at the pool table that Sheen says to President Michael Douglas. Nvm. I doesn’t remind me well enough to repeat it.

Neal Schon (noted more as a founding member of Journey) joined Santana at 16. Never graduated high school, just went on the road with Santana. He's been married 5 times.
Geddy Lee has been married to the same woman since 1976.
Their son is a PhD.
You mean "has".
Whoops. In my defense, I was going to conclude with candidate, went off to research if I was correct, found his Linked in, went back to to dcum, forgot and posted.
Only on DCUM would someone point out something so idiotic and the poster would come back and apologize with an explanation. You are caricatures.
We are over-educated wonks.

Speaking of the Wizard of Oz, there is such backstory about the film, it is considered cursed: in the scene where they fall asleep in the fields, the snow used was asbestos. The paint used on the Tin Man contained aluminum powder landing Buddy Edson in the Hospital and replaced, the Cowardly Lion’s costume was made from a real Lion’s Hide, the witch was severely burned from a failed pyrotechnic trick; Toto’s foot was broken when stepped on and can be seen limping.
