I'm not sure there's a person on this planet that doesn't know who the Three Stooges are. They're one of the most popular and successful comedian group of all time. Later this month a new Three Stooges movie will be hitting the big screen, and though they're gone their legacy is not forgotten.
I talked to Joan Howard (Moe's daughter) and auther Jeff Lenburg about The Three Stooges Scrapbook, their legacy, memories, inaccuracies and getting a pie to the face:

Interview with Butch Trucks
by Wrecker
,
posted Apr 9 2012 7:45AM
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer Butch Trucks is one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers Band. His legacy in music brings a unique perspective to the early years of the band and where it's been... and also where music is going.
We talked under unique circumstances. Butch e-mailed me about an inaccuracy in a rock news story and wanted to set the record straight. I messaged him back and we did an interview last week. In all, how often do you get to talk 30 mintues to a rock legend?
We talked about the bands namesake, Duane's impact in music, Gregg's book and overcoming issues, rock music and where it's going and much more:

CORRECTION:
I had a broadcast first this week. In our rock news segment we talked about the Allman Brothers Band and incorrectly stated the namesake of the band being credited to Gregg Allman. This was not the case, and one of the band members reached me directly to let me know the error.
Legendary drummer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Butch Trucks wanted to set the record straight in an e-mail... and eventually we talked on the phone.
I'm going to air the interview on Monday morning, but now is the time to set the record straight about the real story behind the name of The Allman Brothers Band:

Interview with Clint Hill
by Wrecker
,
posted Apr 6 2012 6:33AM
He was part of American history... but he doesn't like to talk about it all that much. Special Agent Clint Hill served the White House during the Kennedy administration and was assigned to Mrs. Kennedy. He traveled the world and saw first hand the impact that Jackie. She was an amazing woman.
Though the book is not focused on the assassination of JFK, it's the part of the book I started at. His account is amazing. We talked about that fateful day, being part of history, what happened after the shooting and legacy:
