Peter Michael Falk ...grew up in Ossining, N.Y, where his father owned a clothing store and where, in spite of his missing eye, he was a high school athlete. [He lost the eye to cancer at 3.] In one story he liked to tell, after being called out at third base during a baseball game, he removed his eye and handed it to the umpire.

And no 10,000 Maniacs' "What's the Matter Here."

But I do love a lot of the songs in that list.

Oh. That explains it.

Wow Scola! Gotta love spin.

Christian Kane has one, "Mary (Can You Come Outside)," but I can see that not being on the radar.
