Pancreatic cancer. RIP.

Robbie Knievel

That's too bad. I've always thought that his parents screwed up by giving him such a non-Evel name. Why not something cool like Blaze or Rev or Manifold?

good point.

"Robbie" is slightly better than "Ken".. Ken Knievel sounds like the guy that does traffic on Action 5 News.

"going out to our man in the helicopter, Ken Knievel.. Ken, how's the traffic"...

"well, there's a bit of a bottleneck at the usual spots.. the I-295 interchange, Turnpike Boulevard"...

Evel Knievel's "real" name was Robert, but yeah, they should have called Robert II something other than "Robbie."

Damn, that would be one helluva way to depart. It’s like his sports version of the dude who got speared in the heart by a stingray. Alligator Jimmy or whatever his name was.

I checked to see if Randy was still alive and noticed this little personal nugget I’d never heard before:

Despite German-Canadian custom, Bachman says his surname is pronounced /ˈbækmən/ (with a short 'a' sound as in "back"), and he uses this pronunciation when referring to himself. The more common pronunciation of "bock-mən", especially on American radio, became so widespread however, that he did not bother correcting people after BTO became popular.

Also, overdrive was supposed to be pronounced ah-fer-droof. We got Turner right, though.

At least they gave it a go. Poor Blair Thornton never had a chance to have people mispronounce his name.

I was once the world's youngest person. Looking back, it was a pretty amazing achievement. I wish I'd had a better publicist.
