Ray Colcord RIIP (Part 6 ): A-E-R-O

continuing on, and coming back to this excerpt from the Aerosmith wiki page:
The members of the band reportedly spent afternoons getting stoned and watching Three Stooges reruns. One day, they had a post-Stooges meeting to try to come up with a name. Kramer said when he was in school he would write the word aerosmith all over his notebooks.[25] The name had popped into his head after listening to Harry Nilsson's album Aerial Ballet, which featured jacket art of a circus performer jumping out of a biplane. Initially, Kramer's bandmates were unimpressed; they all thought he was referring to the Sinclair Lewis novel they were required to read in high school English class. "No, not Arrowsmith," Kramer explained. "A-E-R-O...Aerosmith."[26] 
I investigated Harry Nilsson, and now for the others.  


Note from Lewis' wiki pge:


  • Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 – January 10, 1951)

Now this is where David Bowie comes in :

  • David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie 
Other than the clusters previously mentioned, we now have a "January 10" and a "January 8, February 7, ____/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster

And to bridge both gaps: 
  • Spranger Barry (23 November 1719 – 10 January 1777
  • John Colicos (December 10, 1928 – March 6, 2000) 
One of John Colicos films to investigate:



  • 1955 – Breakaway
