WEEZER HAS PRODUCED two iconic, innovative videos. When Spike Jonze directed the video for "Buddy Holly," he put the band in Arnold's Drive-In from "Happy Days." With clever editing and special effects, the band interacts with the cast of the TV show. Fonzie even does a dance. Footage of most of the cast is used, and Al Molinaro re-recorded some new dialogue. At first, Anson Williams, who played Potsie, didn't want footage of him used, but David Geffen convinced him.

THE OTHER ICONIC Weezer video is for "Pork and Beans," directed by Mathew Cullen. It debuted on YouTube, which is appropriate, since the video was filled with "YouTube celebrities" who became famous when the clips were passed around as memes. You saw the Afro Ninja, that "Chocolate Rain" guy, the "Evolution of Dance" guy and references to the Coke-and-Mentos experiment, the Dramatic Chipmunk and the Sneezing Panda.

YOU MAY REMEMBER Koo Stark as the woman who dallied briefly with Prince Andrew, at least until it was discovered that she was also a soft-core porn star. But Stark nearly landed a role in a respectable film. She was cast as Camie, one of Luke's buddies back on Tattoine in "Star Wars." She appeared in scenes at a bar called the Arrowhead, which were all cut out. If you look around, you can still find bad prints of them online.

WHEN BOB DYLAN "revisited" Highway 61, he was paying tribute to one of the most important routes in American

musical history. It runs north from New Orleans, along the Mississippi and past both St. Louis and Memphis. It became known as Blues Highway, in part because it helped communicate the medium of the blues along the backbone of America. The highway does reach Dylan's home state of Minnesota and crosses into Canada, where it becomes Ontario Provincial Highway 61 and goes through Thunder Bay.

ASIDE FROM SAVING Europe from tyranny, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Winston Churchill have something else in common. They liked to paint. In fact, Hallmark featured their artwork on their cards. Churchill was probably the better artist — his work can be found in dozens of art galleries around the world. Ike picked up the hobby late in life and helped popularize paint-by-numbers.

PAUL GIAMATTI is an acclaimed actor. But his father was famous, as well. He was Bart Giamatti, the baseball commissioner. The elder Giamatti had been president of Yale, where he was known for being tough with the union. This impressed the baseball honchos, but Bart Giammati died of a heart attack just six months into his term, and just eight days after banishing Pete Rose from baseball. Paul's brother Marcus, also an actor, threw out the first pitch in the following World Series in the commissioner's honor.
