Baron Dave's Bonus Trivia Question

What is the only showtune the Beatles ever covered?

      'Till I Met You (The Music Man)                   Source








mj was first, and correct, with:
   What would we do
  without Family Ties?




Mark was first to correctly answer the Bonus Question:
   The Beatles covered "Till There Was You" from "The Music Man."




Alan J answered both questions:
   Family Ties
and
  Till There Was You from The Music Man




BadtotheboneBob responded correctly to the Bonus Question:
   'Till there was you' from The Music Man




~ Tony in Philly answered:
   Family Ties




Jim from CA, retired to ID replied:
   Family Ties



Marian the Teacher responded:
   Family Ties



Charlie correctly replied to both questions:
   "Without Us" was the theme song for Family Ties, which I never watched, and being described by Ronald Reagan as his favorite show, I can only assume it would have given me high blood pressure.
  As for Baron Dave's interesting question, I should have known it, since I watched Ed Sullivan in 1964 and have heard their version of the song many times since, but I had to look it up. The Beatles covered "Till There was You" from The Music Man, which I have seen performed on stage.




MAM     nailed 'em both:
   "Without Us" was the theme song for . . . Family Ties

and
  Baron Dave's bonus trivia: The only showtune the Beatles ever covered was 'Till There Was You' from 'The Music Man' from the album "With The Beatles".
  The Beatles - 'Till There Was You'

Don't Forget Iraqi Refugees

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie met with Iraqi refugees in Syria on Friday and urged the world not to forget the plight of those among them who cannot return home because of the trauma they suffered and the country's instability.

Jolie visited Syria in her role as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations' refugee agency, UNHCR, and was accompanied by her partner, Brad Pitt, the agency said.

It was the Academy Award-winning actress' second visit to Syria in two years. On Friday, she visited Damascus' poorest suburbs where she was welcomed by two Iraqi families.

Jolie has visited Iraq three times. Her last trip was in July, when she visited a settlement for displaced Iraqis in northwest Baghdad.

Dave's Extortionist

Robert J. Halderman

A CBS News employee is out of jail on bond after pleading not guilty to trying to blackmail David Letterman for $2 million.

Robert J. Halderman entered his plea as he was arraigned on an attempted grand larceny charge Friday in a Manhattan court. He posted the $200,000 bail and was released from custody.

Prosecutors say Halderman demanded $2 million last month in exchange for not releasing information that would ruin Letterman's reputation. Letterman told his viewers Thursday that the threat concerned sexual liaisons with female staffers.

His lawyer, Gerald Shargel, said Halderman worked at CBS for 27 years and had no prior criminal record. He described him as an involved father, who coached soccer, baseball and football for his two children, ages 11 and 18.

Judge Tackles Archive Nightmare

Franz Kafka

An Israeli court has stepped into a battle over a legacy that may include lost manuscripts of the great 20th century writer Franz Kafka, ordering an elderly heiress to open up a secret hoard of papers, Israel's Haaretz newspaper said Friday.

A judge in Tel Aviv appointed new executors for the will of Esther Hoffe, who was secretary to Kafka's friend and fellow Prague writer Max Brod.

The judge also ordered Hoffe's 75-year-old daughter Eva to give them access to documents that have been a focus of academic and auction-room controversy for four decades, the paper said.

The judge accepted a motion from Haaretz to lift reporting restrictions on a case that followed Hoffe's death in 2007, aged 101. After Brod died in Israel in 1968, she fought attempts by state archivists to see his papers, and made millions by selling documents that included Kafka's 1914 manuscript of "The Trial."

Wyclef Jean

Wyclef Jean is going back to school to earn a degree from Boston's Berklee College of Music.

The former frontman for The Fugees said Friday that the school has a program flexible enough for his needs and plans to attend his first class Monday.

Jean's first class is on Monday. His curriculum this fall includes ear training, theory, improvisation and guitar.

The Haitian-born hip-hop artist says that he left college after only one semester to pursue his career and that going back to school has always been a goal.

Lawmakers Urge Delay

Internet Gambling

U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and other lawmakers on Friday urged regulators to delay the December 1 implementation of financial rules to enforce a ban on Internet gambling.

Enforcing the rules in two months time would put an unreasonable burden on regulators and the financial services industry at a time of economic crisis, the lawmakers said.

"We are writing to strongly urge you to ... to extend the date of compliance for the final regulations implementing the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act by one year," the lawmakers said in a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Congress passed the anti-gambling legislation in 2006, when Republicans still controlled both the House and the Senate. Most of the 19 lawmakers who signed the letter are sponsors of legislation to overturn the ban.

The 2006 law, which cost European Internet gambling companies billions of euro in lost market value, prohibits credit card, check, and electronic fund transfer payments in connection with "unlawful Internet gambling."

Apple Suit Settled

Eminem

Apple Inc. and the music publisher for Eminem have settled a lawsuit over the digital downloading rights to many of the Detroit rapper's songs.

Eight Mile Style attorney Richard Busch said Friday that the deal was reached late Thursday. He declined to disclose details of the settlement.

Eight Mile had claimed that its deal to sell the rights to 93 songs to Aftermath Records did not authorize the record label to strike a separate deal with Apple to sell the songs digitally on iTunes. Eight Mile was seeking millions of dollars in compensation.

Another Quitter

Todd Palin

The husband of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has quit his oil field job on the North Slope. Todd Palin's resignation as a production operator for oil giant BP PLC comes almost two months after his wife stepped down as Alaska governor and shortly before the release of her highly anticipated memoir in a deal rumored to be worth millions.

"Todd loved his union job on the Slope and hopes to return," Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman, said in an e-mail Friday. "For now, he is spending time with his family."

In addition to working on the North Slope, Todd Palin was a commercial fisherman and for years has participated in the world's longest snowmobile race, the Iron Dog. He was unofficially referred to as the "First Dude" and also took part in official duties, such as hosting a tea for former first ladies of the state.

Todd Palin earned nearly $34,472 working part-time last year for BP in Prudhoe Bay and about $51,679 in the family's commercial fishing business, according to state financial disclosures. He also had $5,600 in snowmobile race winnings and an undisclosed discount on snowmobiles from racing sponsor Arctic Cat.

Walt Disney Family Museum

Walt Disney's relatives greeted the first wave of visitors as a new museum designed to showcase the personal world of the legendary animator opened Thursday.

"Walt Disney reached people because he was a magical storyteller," Disney's grandson, Walter E.D. Miller, said as the museum opened. "Now it's our turn to tell Walt's story."

The $110 million Walt Disney Family Museum was co-founded by Miller and his mother, Diane Disney Miller. The Walt Disney Co. collaborated on the project, but the museum is an independent venture fully funded by the Walt Disney Family Foundation.

Exhibits follow Disney's life from childhood to his struggles getting established as an artist and his later successes, with a goal, according to grandson Miller, of narrating the life of "someone whose name is often confused with a brand and to present him simply as a human being with extraordinary vision."

Dark times aren't glossed over. One section deals with a bitter strike at Disney Studios and another presents audio tapes of Disney's testimony before the House of Representatives Un-American Activities Committee.
