I was bored and I found this funny anecdote:
Offspring: Random Acts of Kindness
Offspring frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman were once given $848 by Blender magazine and instructed to spend it on some worthty project. After some discussion, they elected to make a beer bong. Total cost: $12.
The boys were asked what they planned to do with the rest of the money. "We're going to drive into L.A. and see Metal Shop at the Viper Room," Holland explained. "Then," Noodles added. "We're going to bail someone out of jail." Who? "Whoever they've got!"
[The band indeed later dropped by the local jail in the wee hours to plead for the release of a homeless man named "Dave." When the prison had no record of a "Dave," Noodles took over: "How about a 'Mark'? What do you have in the way of Marks? Come on, you must have seen somebody who doesn't deserve to be here!" (They eventually gave $400 to another homeless man named Harold.)]
