Tim “Wild Thang” Lepard was a bull fighter and rodeo clown. But as his number of bull-related surgeries increased, he decided to go behind the scenes and mastermind what would become Team Ghost Rider:
"I wanted an act that no one would forget in rodeo and felt performing with three dogs and three monkeys would accomplish my goal."
Yeah, think you got there, Tim. But four dogs and four monkeys? Now you're just showin' off.Maybe more continuity than you think.
A while back a worked with a guy who claimed to know Jim Morrison when they were both in high school down in Florida. In fact, he said that Jim dated his sister and was over at their house alot. After he became famous, he would show-up now and then and visit. This guy's Mom loved Ghost Riders in the Sky and told Jim that he should write a song like that. When Riders on the Storm came out, Jim told her "Here's your song" (or something to that effect).
I don't know how true it is but it sounded legit at the time.
