What are you currently watching?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The first half is biography, not about the record as the title suggests. But the part about the record is funny. The guy was weirder than you thought, if that's possible.

I watched Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator | PBS, and will watch the second episode more tomorrow.

You will know this by now, but Spoiler alert for those who haven't viewed it yet. Look away now. Brutus was an honourable man.

Haha... Good one. I can not wait until this PBS series is done, so I can watch the whole set.

Oooh, thanks for posting.

He had a grandfather who was a Maronite (Catholic) priest! He was of Lebanese descent!

The show Tires.

Such a boring show. Although if they were going for the realism of being at a tire shop.. mission accomplished.

At about 13:00 the video says he was a strict Catholic. Who knows for sure, but the video cites a biography (?) about him where he hired a guy named Gary Greene, for $100 a week, to protect him from sinning with female groupies. Not sure how that worked, but just one of many strange alleged facts about Mr. Tim.

I know he was on Howard Stern once. Tiny Tim was really bothered whenever Howard took the Lord's name in vain.

One of the rare times when young Stern actually gave in to the guest's demands.

Apparently, this is a real show: Tires (TV series) - Wikipedia

I can't wait for the spin-off: Lug Nuts.

I can't wait for the spin-off: Lug Nuts.

Or Burnout, where the tires smoke or the employees get overworked.

Oh! Thanks for sharing- wonder if he followed the Eastern rite then.

I think he also had a grandfather who was a rabbi IIRC.
