Herman: After 20 years with the Scorpions, I took a break but eventually the desire to comeback and play was so strong that I couldn’t deny it any longer.
Herman: It depends, for example, I wrote the lyrics and the music at the same time for the song "Another Piece of Meat." That was a real thing that happened to me in Japan.

 Southpinellas: For Pete's sake
The city's real name, St. Pete Beach, used to be a cute nickname that was less of a mouthful and fit more easily on souvenir T-shirts.
Reasons for change varied from the serious notion that St. Pete Beach might have once missed out on grants because a state committee thought the city was part of St. Petersburg, to the more colloquial notion that squeezing 17 letters into the little blanks for "city" on mail order forms proved difficult.
Convincing mail order companies, banks and airlines that St. Pete Beach is a city has proved difficult, and it's a task that residents take on each time they establish a new account or place a catalog order.

Danny is unfazed by the threat, claiming, "It's music that matters." But some of the men are about to quit the band until the appearance of Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald at her most radiant), who dazzles the all-male group (including old flame Andy, played by Ewan McGregor) first with her beauty, then with her flügelhorn playing.
Unconcerned with this all is Danny (a brilliant Pete Postlethwaite), the leader of the mine's brass band group, so intent on winning the national championships that he doesn't see at first the turmoil as the members of his band face unemployment--including his own son.
Pete Postlethwaite is brilliant as Danny; Tara Fitzgerald's understated performance as Gloria, the only female member of the band, gives her character a sense of integrity and honor that could easily have been overlooked in favor of more "marketable" characteristics.
