Archie Manning-See avatar!

Emeril-Eating shrimp at the seafood counter in Whole Foods NOLA

Ronald Reagan-Didn't get to shake his hand, but made square eye contact and told him hello, and he acknowledged with a smile and wave from about 10 feet. He was giving the commencement speech at LSU in 1990 and dropped-in on his fraternity house which was right next door to ours. No crowds, no noise, very surreal moment!

Bass guitarist for Pale Divine is my brother-in-law, ha ha

Wait, I just had a memory. I used to live in St. Louis 10 years ago, and now I remember-Pale Divine! They went by another name before that and they always played at Kennedy's on the Landing. Their cover of Strawberry Fields was the best. Am I right-is this the same band? If so, what was their name before it was Pale Divine? This is driving me crazy, trying to remember. Old age sucks.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe this.

No...I'm serious. Someone...Please back me up. I'm right here. Right?
Maybe I'm confused.

LUCKY! where are you? Am I right?

Someone must tell me what their name was before it was Pale Divine. For a few years, all of my weekend plans revolved around them, where they were playing and when. Now I can't remember what their name was?

Wait, I'm so excited. Was it 'The Eyes'?

What a blast from my past. Thank you for calling PeaPod.

I loved that band. Tell Peapod I would love to hear what they are up to now.
