Mopers _ when I buy a product , or a Movie, or a art object,
I really get into the storys, or legends and myths of the
Creator/artist or " the Back story" as its amazeing what you find out.
For instance last week I was at the Henry Ford museum and
I heard that when employees pained a model -T car RED for
Henry Ford he went into a rage and ripped the car apart.
Heres a list of Credits for Alan Adler in case you dont know his Bio..
I didnt and this ad's a extra element that many Mopers have.
that is... a Back story..........
