(Undated-AP) -- Want to know exactly WHICH bathroom in which George Michael was busted for engaging in a lewd act? Or the EXACT room where Janis Joplin overdosed? Or the spot where the airplane carrying guitarist Randy Rhoads buzzed the tour bus and then crashed? It's in a new book called "James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Landmarks'' by Chris Epting. It points out the spots where certain pop culture news happened. It's not all lurid or tragic stuff, either. You can find the ice cream stand where Brian Wilson saw a friend drive by in her daddy's T-bird and inspired him to write "Fun, Fun, Fun.'' It tells you where to find the house that was pictured on Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti'' album. It even advises you how to get to Blue Jay Way, where George Harrison once rented a house in Los Angeles and wrote a song about the street. However, the book notes that you may not know you're on Blue Jay Way because the sign keeps getting stolen.

Actually, in this travel thing my friend and I are putting together, we may end up with Liverpool being one of destinations!

Make it both Lizes. You all could be the Fab Four.

I guess that would then make me Sir George Martin.

Speaking of which, who is the Fifth Beatle? People I have heard refered to as such: Sir George, Stu Sutcliffe, Pete Best, Eric Clapton and Billy Preston.

Were either of you even born before John was shot? :confused:

Nope. That happened almost exactly a year before I was born. '80, right?

Dec 8, 1980

2 years, 11 months, and 2 days before Bekah graced the world with her presence.

Kinda hard for either of you to be the fifth Beatle when there were only four... :(
