Creed

No, this post isn't about the worst band of the past fifteen years. Rather, it's about Creed Bratton, the lovable, off-the-wall oaf who plays a fictionalized version of himself on The Office. I just found out that he was a member of '60s rock band The Grass Roots (of "Midnight Confessions," "Let's Live For Today," and "Wait a Million Years" fame -- he left the band before "Temptation Eyes," otherwise I would have mentioned that too, which I just did, so I guess it's a non-issue). Who knew? In case you're hard of facial recognition, Creed is the second from the left.

This might now be a close second in my favorite tidbit of rock and roll trivia. Number one, of course, is that the female vocals in Meat Loaf's epic "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" are not sung by Karla DeVito (the woman in the song's video and who preformed the song in concerts), but are actually sung by Ellen Foley, who played the sassy public defender Billie Young on Night Court (before Markie Post's character supplanted her beginning in the third season).
