@JackBox You guys need better support options. I'm out a ridiculous amount of money I was charged for two different orders you guys didn't even complete. I want my money back and support won't help without an order number which I don't have since you didn't complete my order.

Matthew Perry was a comedy-great that helped create relatable and cherished characters. But more importantly he was a genuinely good person, imperfectly perfect. May he be remembered not only for the laughs; but, for the kind, compassionate, and genuinely selfless soul he was.🤍

In 1967, Otis Redding finished recording the song "Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay" in Memphis, TN. Tragically, 72 hours later he died in a plane crash at the age of 26.

When the phone rang at the Stax/Volt studios in Memphis in late November of 1967, guitarist Steve Cropper was surprised to hear Otis Redding on the other end, calling from the airport. "Usually Otis would check into the Holiday Inn or whatever hotel he was staying at and then he'd call for me to come over and do some writing," Cropper recalls.

But this time Redding was too excited to wait. "I've got a hit," he told Cropper, so he wanted to come straight to the studio to flesh his idea out into a full-fledged song.

Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967, while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito, California. He completed the song in Memphis with the help of Cropper, who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G's.

Redding was right. When "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" was released less than two months later, it became the singer's first million-seller and first 'Billboard' Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th at the age of 26.

#RIP Mark Margolis. To play Hector, he took a cue from his mother-in-law, who had a stroke: "She’d get excited when we came in the room, and the left side of her mouth would do these contortions where the lips would push out … I stole that from her." https://t.co/7izgYu0vDI

“It’s not like I got up in the morning and said, ‘Okay, now let’s start a new controversy.’..It just so happens that what I do naturally causes trouble," Sinead O'Connor told Rolling Stone in 1991.

"I’m proud to be a troublemaker.”
