I was reading the Elvis Wikipedia and it gave me this idea. It can be any subject.

quote:
In April, Presley began working for the Crown Electric company as a truck driver.[53] His friend Ronnie Smith, after playing a few local gigs with him, suggested he contact Eddie Bond, leader of Smith's professional band, which had an opening for a vocalist. Bond rejected him after a tryout, advising Presley to stick to truck driving "because you're never going to make it as a singer".

In Hitlers first speech to the public, the TelePrompTer operator accidentally misspelled "Pew" as "Jew" and thus Hitlers campaign to install comfier pews in his Catholic Church became a war against Jews.

The Persian army underestimating the Greeks at the battle of Marathon. I'm reading a book on it right now and the build up is fascinating. Had the Athenians lost, the next few centuries could have been way different

Pete Best could probably comment on this thread.

John Rutsey probably wondered if Rush would have been as successful if he had stayed with the band.

Some think New Coke was an intentional ploy to cover the switch from cane sugar to HFCS. The original formula had cane sugar but Coca Cola Classic had HFCS when they canned New Coke. If so, it wasn't really a mistake.
