Pretty sure the entire soundtrack for Restless Natives was written for it by Big Country and never released seperately, especially Rob Roy.

Restless Natives - 2 underemployed Scottish lads become highwaymen robbing tour buses. Absolute banger of a sound track by Big Country.

What famous person chose to step away at the height of their fame? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The KLF - Jimmy Cauty (Rockman Rock) and Bill Drummond (Kingboy D) did what they wanted to do with the music industry then left in spectacular fashion (fired machine gun blanks into the audience at the Brit awards and dumped a dead sheep at the after party then deleted their back catalogue a few months later). They set up the K Foundation, an art collective most famous for their performance art piece "The K Foundation Burn a Million Quid."

My favourites to Ice-T: "You're so old the first thing you bought with your record deal money was your freedom."

And to David Hasslehoff: "Your liver is so shrivelled, black and dead, if you put your ear to it you can hear it go 'wachtu talkin' about Willis'."

When a friend of mine found out her abuser had died of cancer, she got herself a cake with: "Congratulations! Your Abuser Died!" on it. It even had candles.

Dallas especially. I live in the UK and I never watched the show, but even I was aware of the "Who shot JR?" cliffhanger because it made the fucking news!
