Man Remembers Absolutely Everything

This guy can tell you what happened to him on every day of his life.  He can tell you what he ate, what he wore, which way he parted his hair, how he slept, how many times he sneezed, and what songs he heard on the radio. 

We can tell you the year we graduated from high school and the first half of our Social Security number.  Our home phone number is written on the inside collar of every shirt we own.  Our wife wears a name tag.  We go jogging and 10 minutes into the jog we forget we're jogging and think we're being pursued by the police.  We look in the mirror and scream "Honey, there's somebody looking in our window!"  But we remember all manner of rock trivia, including the subsequent career paths of the members of the band Longbranch Pennywhistle, a band we don't even like.

This is where Loggins & Messina meet Dan Fogelberg and take him to a hot tub party and Dan refuses to let go of his feather.

I've never heard of that band, but I do have a great love for JD Souther's song, Faithless Love.

Feather?

Mike Failure! I'm back!

And i think these guys lived in my dorm freshman year.

Does Dan Fogelberg not look just like Joseph Fiennes?
