I know all of the countries in Africa! Well, I know what they were in 1992 anyway, when I learned a song about Africa in 8th grade geography class. Some of the names have changed since then.
I can sing entire dang song from 27 years ago but I can't remember where I hid Christmas presents I bought a few months ago.

I know a few things about James K. Polk, our eleventh president, thanks to They Might Be Giants. Among them: He built an independent treasury He sought no second term His nickname was Young Hickory, Napolean of the Stump He ran against James Buchanan, Martin Van Buren and Louis Cass in 1844 He made the English sell the Oregon Territory (which John initially pronounced incorrectly, but now sings it right in concert) Anyway . . . I am related to this President. And I do not know any of these facts. I am a terrible relative.

That Sammy Hagar won't drive 55 One of the DJs at a local radio station had a copy of one of his speeding tickets posted on their wall. He was driving 120.

That Sammy Hagar won't drive 55 One of the DJs at a local radio station had a copy of one of his speeding tickets posted on their wall. He was driving 120. Oh my! When I looked up the lyrics it did say "Write me up for 125" And 1:25 is my birth time.

Tom Cochrane found life was a highway he wanted to drive all night long. Winnipeg boy! didn't know this so looked it up.... apparently he was born in lynn lake, manitoba - crap, that's closer to nunavet than winnipeg!! BUT, interesting to read his family then moved to ACTON, ONTARIO - as a girl i lived in georgetown, acton was the next closest town. georgetown had a typical rivalry with acton. so that made me laugh.... life is highway is a great song - haven't thought of it in years - off to watch/listen on youtube! thanks for the reminder!!

I just remembered that I also know what's in a Big Mac. Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

Thanks to Deep Purple with Smoke on the Water, I learned about a fire that happened at a recording studio off of the Geneva shoreline in Montreux Switzerland. BTW, one of the greatest songs ever! Not a lot to know but cool nonetheless. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Ok I'm totally stealing this from a meme I saw on Facebook.... But I know there is a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven - which says a lot about anticipated traffic levels.

I learned all about the wreck of the Edumund Fitzgerald from Gordon Lightfoot and I learned the plot of Star Wars episode 1 from Weird Al Yankovic.
