Are songwriting royalties divided equally among everyone with a writing credit for the song? Or does each writer get a certain percent based on what parts they wrote? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.238.116 ( talk) 00:07, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
What is a good song for third positon for violin? 69.227.69.48 ( talk) 00:13, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Many years ago, I recall watching a movie, the plot of which seemed to resemble Apollo 13, with the astronauts trapped orbiting the Earth, and engineers trying to bring them home. One of the astronauts was from San Diego, and in the movie, the whole city shone lights up to space, so he could see a light emanating from the California coast, is that at all possible, given that John Glenn and others said they saw oil fires in the desert from space, one of which was later put out by Red Adair, and they also saw Bedouin campfires at night, and what is the name of the film ? Thanks. The Russian. --C.B.Lilly 09:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it was this second one, Marooned. That sounds about right. I do not believe it was The Right Stuff, because I saw that later, and since it was made in 1983, it would not have been released on TV that early. I now realise I forgot to stipulate that I was watching the movie in question in either the late 1970's or the early 1980's. I did not realise the movie was as old as 1969, and thought it had been made in the seventies, but also got the impression it was a true story. Although it wasn't, as the review says, it was released around the same time as the real Apollo 13 incident, making it relevant and popular at the time. Thank You all. Also, does anyone know how much light one could shine into space for it to be seen by an orbiting craft ? Does NASA do such experiments ?
Is it a single sided or is double sided bandana (if it is a bandana) that males wear around their heads? What is the color?
Traditionally, is it a single sided or is double sided bandana (if it is a bandana) that males wear around their heads? What is the color? 174.3.102.6 ( talk) 19:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Justin Lukach from Departures wears a black (as far as I can see) bandana. I am not certain if it is single sided or double sided. Does anyone know? (Or know how to figure out?) 174.3.102.6 ( talk) 08:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
And the banada is not an open center paisley design. 174.3.102.6 ( talk) 09:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
What is the name of the theme music currently used on Direct tv's presentation of Peter Berg's "WONDERLAND"....& where can I find it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hal62134 ( talk • contribs) 22:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
