Notes and Corrections

Mellow Birds put out this record:

However, due perhaps to an excess of absinthe, Tom has misremembered the tracks and singers curated on this record. Bernard Bresslaw actually sang ‘Mad, Passionate Love,’ while it was Mike and Bernie Winters who sang ‘Tiptoe Through the Tulips.

And for accuracy, there were nine circles of hell. (I’ve been employed in most of them.)

Notes:

Salvador Dalí did not use superglue on his signature moustache or hair, primarily because modern superglue (cyanoacrylate) was not commercially available or used as a cosmetics product during the peak of his iconic styling.

Instead, Dalí maintained his gravity-defying, upturned mustache using traditional cosmetic and styling products, most notably Hungarian moustache wax (a stiff wax made of beeswax, resin, and oils).

He frequently discussed his mustache in interviews and his writings, noting that he applied wax in the morning to shape the tips into sharp, upright points. By the end of the day, as the wax softened, he allowed it to relax into a softer, natural shape.
