MP3 of the Day
Peter Mayhew was born on this day in 1944. The 7 foot 3 inch tall British born actor is best known for playing Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies. Mayhew now lives in Granbury, Texas - he became a US citizen in 2005. At the ceremony in Arlington, Texas, he jokingly noted that he didn't get a medal at this ceremony either; a reference to the Star Wars scene in which Luke and Han both received medals but Chewbacca did not. Although, Mayhew (as Chewbacca) was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Movie Awards in 1997. Today we have the song Chewbacca/Clique Town by NEW BAD THINGS from the Robin Hood 7".

looks like that dude makes a hellava bloody mary.
My son and I met Mayhew at a con in Orlando last February. He was extremely friendly and polite to my son, who is 8 and loves Star Wars. Very sweet to watch this huge man interact with a small child, making him laugh and such.
I knew I had heard "Ricky says my band..." was from something else besides "Secretly Minnesotan".
Tullycraft songs are full of tidbits like that.
