man, this is the image you should have included


n 1987, Horowitz was taken hostage during a KNBC-TV broadcast by a gunman with mental problems. The journalist read the man’s statements on camera although the hostage-taker didn’t realize the broadcast had been cut. The weapon turned out to be an empty BB gun.

The experience led Horowitz to join a successful campaign to outlaw realistic-looking toy guns in California and other states.

No but I suspect there are at least a couple people, even on a dumb music message board for jerks, who would see "Peter Tork" and wonder who that was.

Really…you don't think 95% of the people here know who Peter Tork is (I suspect James Ford and his family have no idea)
can anyone who never heard of Peter Tork, please comment here ;)

Holy fuck, how has that not been the forum's official tagline long before now?

I would give only 70% odds (35% for the daughter) they know who The Monkees are and am only willing to go as high as 93% that they can identify an actual monkey from a photo.

More information in this thread is better than less. Don't let them bust your balls, big guy.
