Passage 7:
Ken Forsch
Kenneth Roth Forsch (born September 8, 1946) is an American former professional baseball player  He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right-handed pitcher from 1970 to 1984, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he helped the franchise win its first-ever National League Western Division title and postseason berth in 1980  A two-time All-Star player, Forsch pitched a no-hitter for the Astros on April 7, 1979  He ended his baseball career playing for the California Angels 

Career
Forsch was born in Sacramento, California where he graduated from Hiram Johnson High School and later attended the Oregon State University where he played for the Oregon State Beavers baseball team through the 1967–1968 seasons  He was selected by the Houston Astros in the 18th round (399th overall) of the 1968 Major League Baseball draft  He made his major league debut on September 7, 1970 at the age of 23 Forsch was selected to the All-Star Game in 1976 and 1981 On April 7, 1979, Forsch no-hit the Atlanta Braves 6–0 at the Astrodome  His brother Bob Forsch, who also pitched for the Astros, hurled two no-hitters while with the St  Louis Cardinals, making them the only set of brothers to pitch no-hitters in MLB history  The 1980 season went down to the wire, and Forsch was a part of the action  He went 12-13 during the season with a 3 20 ERA and on a then career-high 222 1 innings pitched; the rotation of him, Nolan Ryan, Joe Niekro, and J  R  Richard was slated to make a run at the National League West title, which they missed winning by one game the previous year  However, a stroke suffered by Richard late in the year saw the eventual end of his career  The Astros required a one-game playoff on October 6 after the Astros lost three straight games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dodger Stadium  Forsch had lost the first game on October 3 when trying to hang on to a precarious 2-1 lead  However, a single and a subsequent error set the stage for a Ron Cey base hit with two out to send the game into the 10th inning  On the first batter of the inning, Forsch allowed a home run that gave the Dodgers a 3-2 victory  The Astros prevailed in the tiebreaker game thanks to the efforts of Joe Niekro that set the Astros up in the 1980 National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies for Game 1 on the following day of October 7  Forsch was selected to start the game, which was the first playoff game in the history of the Astros  Facing Steve Carlton at Veterans Stadium, Forsch went eight innings and allowed three runs on eight hits with a walk and five strikeouts, as the Phillies broke through in the 6th on a two-run home run by Greg Luzinski and an pinch hit RBI single by Greg Gross in the 7th that got the Phillies a 3-1 victory  In Game 5, the Astros were on the verge of a pennant but needed relief down the stretch  They were leading 5-2 in the 8th inning, but Nolan Ryan had been taken out after allowing three hits and a walk to make the score 5-3 with the bases loaded  Forsch was put in after Joe Sambito had got a groundout to make it 5-4 with one out and two on  He struck out Mike Schmidt, but when facing Del Unser, Forsch allowed a base hit to right field that tied the game at 5  Now facing Manny Trillo, Forsch delivered a pitch that was smacked for a triple to left to clear the bases and give the Phillies a 7-5 lead  Forsch was pinch hit for in the 9th, which saw the Astros tie the game in the eventual loss in the 10th inning  It was the last appearance of Forsch in an Astros uniform and his only experience in the postseason  He was traded to the California Angels for Dickie Thon in April of 1981, eschewing the idea of being relegated to the bullpen and demanding a trade when general manager Al Rosen had acquired Don Sutton and Bob Knepper in the offseason 
In the strike-shortened 1981 season, Forsch went 11-7 with a 2 88 ERA in 153 innings, pitching a league high four shutouts while having 55 strikeouts  He was named to the All-Star Game for the second and final time  He went 13-11 in 1982, but he did not pitch in the postseason run by the Angels that saw them lose in the ALCS in five games  He went 11-12 in 1983 before suffering a setback in 1984, where he pitched in just two games, as he suffered a dislocated shoulder on April 7 when diving to the bag on a fielding play that had him land on his right elbow  He returned as a free agent in 1986, pitching as a middleman in ten games for 17 innings that saw him have a 9 53 ERA before being released on May 25 
During his 16-year career, Forsch compiled 114 wins, 1,047 strikeouts, and a 3 37 earned run average  After his career ended, He worked in commercial real estate along with serving as a member of the Angels’ Speakers Bureau before applying to work for the Angels as their director of player development, which was accepted  He worked for four years before having a promotion to assistant general manager in 1998  He won a World Series ring when the Angels won the championship in 2002  He was dismissed in 2011

Passage 10:
Jim Wilson (pitcher)
James Alger Wilson (February 20, 1922 – September 2, 1986) was an American professional baseball pitcher, scout and front-office executive  Although he was well-traveled as a player and compiled a career winning percentage of only  491 in 175 decisions, he threw the first no-hit, no-run game in Milwaukee's Major League history and was a three-time (1954–56) All-Star who represented both the National and American leagues   During his front office career he served as the third general manager in the franchise history of the Milwaukee Brewers 

Career
As a player
A native of San Diego, Wilson threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1 85 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg)  He attended San Diego State University 
Wilson pitched in all or part of 12 seasons (1945–46; 1948–49; 1951–58) for five Major League franchises and six different cities: the Boston Red Sox, St  Louis Browns/Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Athletics, Boston / Milwaukee Braves and Chicago White Sox   He began his pro career during World War II in 1943 in the Red Sox' farm system and in his second year, 1944, he won 19 games with the top-level Louisville Colonels of the American Association  He made the 1945 Red Sox' roster coming out of spring training and started 21 games for them during the season's first four months  In his 21st start, on August 9 at Briggs Stadium,  Wilson worked into the tenth inning of a 3–3 game  With one out, Detroit Tigers' slugger Hank Greenberg hit a line drive back through the box that struck Wilson in the head, fracturing his skull and sending him to Henry Ford Hospital  The injury sidelined Wilson for the rest of the campaign and he would pitch only one more game for the Red Sox, on April 23, 1946 
Wilson returned to Louisville for the balance of 1946 and all of 1947, then was included in a trade to the Browns that yielded slugging shortstop Vern Stephens and starting pitcher Jack Kramer  But 1948 and 1949 saw Wilson bounce among four organizations—the Browns, Cleveland Indians, Tigers and Athletics—and make ineffective appearances in six total big-league games for the Browns and A's   Finally, in 1950, he was acquired by the Triple-A Seattle Rainiers, managed by Paul Richards  Wilson won 24 games (losing 11) for a sixth-place team and led the Pacific Coast League in strikeouts  His contract was purchased by the Boston Braves at season's end, and Wilson returned to the Major Leagues for good 
Wilson's first All-Star season came in 1954 for the Milwaukee Braves; they had moved from Boston in March 1953  He no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies, 2–0 at Milwaukee County Stadium on June 12 of that season  The 32-year-old right-hander beat future Hall of Famer Robin Roberts in the one-hour and 43-minute contest  Wilson issued two bases on balls (both to Phillies' catcher Smoky Burgess) and struck out six  The no-hitter was the first in the Braves' Milwaukee history   Wilson was named an All-Star in the midst of an 8–2 season in 27 games pitched with three other complete game shutouts for the contending Braves  But he did not get into the 1954 Midsummer classic, an 11–9 loss for his National League squad at Cleveland Municipal Stadium 
On the eve of the 1955 season, Richards, by now both the general manager and field manager of the Baltimore Orioles, purchased Wilson's contract and moved him into the starting rotation  Wilson led the American League in games lost (18) that season (as a team, Baltimore lost 97 games), but he again registered four shutouts and was selected to the AL All-Star team, chosen to play in the July 12, 1955, game at his old home field, County Stadium  But again Wilson did not appear and, again, his team was defeated, with the Senior Circuit winning 6–5 in 12 innings 

Wilson began 1956 by winning four of his first six decisions in seven starts for Baltimore despite sporting a high (5 03) earned run average  On May 21, Richards traded him to the first-division White Sox, and although he pitched more effectively, he registered only a 9–12 record for Chicago  Nevertheless, Wilson was selected to the 1956 American League All-Star team, and this time he played in the game at Griffith Stadium in Washington, working one inning in the AL's 7–3 loss, allowing two hits and one earned run, although he retired Willie Mays on a called third strike to register the final out That set the stage for Wilson's most successful big-league season, with the 1957 White Sox  He won a career-high 15 games (losing eight), and led the American League in shutouts, with five  However, he did not earn a place on the 1957 AL All-Star team   In 1958, the 36-year-old Wilson concluded his 16-season playing career, working in 28 games for the White Sox, 23 in a starting role  In his final MLB game, September 14 against the Washington Senators, he worked 82⁄3 innings and surrendered five earned runs, but was credited with the victory in a 6–5 Chicago triumph  That season he also continued his skein of errorless games as a pitcher  On June 15, 1955, as an Oriole, he muffed an eighth-inning foul pop-up by the White Sox' Jim Rivera for an error  It was the last miscue he would commit in his career, which spanned 116 games through his 1958 retirement  Wilson posted a career  988  fielding percentage, committing only 4 miscues in  333 total chances 
Altogether, Wilson appeared in 257 Major League games pitched, 217 as a starter  He compiled an 86–89 won-lost mark, with 75 complete games and 19 shutouts  In 1,539 innings pitched he notched 692 strikeouts  Wilson also allowed 1,479 hits, 608 bases on balls and 686 earned runs  His career earned run average was 4 01 

As a scout and executive
Wilson remained in the game as a scout for the Orioles and Houston Astros  He and scout Jim Russo signed Jim Palmer for the Orioles in 1963  Palmer recalled in a 1996 book that though 13 teams were interested in him, the Orioles scouts set themselves apart with their polite manners  In 1971, Wilson came back to Milwaukee as the director of scouting and player development of the Brewers, a three-year-old expansion team, and following the 1972 season, he succeeded Frank Lane as Milwaukee's general manager  Although Lane was renowned as a trader, Wilson completed a blockbuster transaction of his own with the Phillies on October 31, 1972, acquiring third baseman Don Money in a seven-player deal  Money would play 11 seasons for the Brewers and make four American League All-Star teams   Then, in June 1973, during his first draft as Brewers' general manager, Wilson selected Robin Yount with the club's first pick (third overall)   After one season in minor league baseball, Wilson promoted the 18-year-old Yount to the 1974 Brewers, the beginning of a 20-season, Hall of Fame career for the shortstop and center fielder 
But Wilson's stay as general manager in Milwaukee was not a long one  After the 1974 season he returned to California to become executive director of the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau  He stepped down in 1985 after being stricken with cancer and died in Newport Beach at age 64 on September 2, 1986

Brian Kennedy (gallery director)
Brian Patrick Kennedy (born 5 November 1961) is an Irish-born art museum director who has worked in Ireland and Australia, and now lives and works in the United States   He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020  He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019  He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004 

Career
Brian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College  In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art  On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum 

Early life and career in Ireland
Kennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College  He received B A  (1982), M A  (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history 
He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89)  He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988 He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997  He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003  In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia 

National Gallery of Australia (NGA)
Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site   Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing "blockbuster" exhibitions 
During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship  However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds   As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later   Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001  Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive  He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new "front" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above) 
Kennedy's cancellation of the "Sensation exhibition" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship  He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being "too close to the market" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor  However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns  The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn  Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous  The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was "Catholic-bashing" and an "aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion " In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had "obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art"  He has said that it "was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far "Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system  The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003  Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors He became a joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003 

Toledo Museum of Art
The Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings and sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke  The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the field of art education   During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as "learning to read, understand and write visual language "   Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website, www vislit org  In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so  Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy 
Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples  Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibande have been acquired   In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano During his tenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold to the museum   In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015 

Hood Museum of Art
Kennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005  During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions  At 70,000 objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus  The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body, toured several US venues  Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually  Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons

Being a lustful, aspiring filmmaker, Omar sees his touring in upper New York as an opportunity to finally forget Emmanuel, indulging instead in disjointed recordings of his travel  Soon after, his camera work is centered on Dustin (Dustin Segura-Suarez): a young college student who is on vacation from Canada  Omar eagerly befriends and later seduces Dustin, openly portraying their desire for each other on film with an amateurish academic intent  In a matter of days, the artistic intentions in Omar's house movie devolve into a bisexual experience including Omar's professor 
Back in Paris, an animalistic Emmanuel - used to take pride on the universal praise for his body - is left broke and in denial  He resorts instead to shelter himself in Omar's place, living as carefree days as he can muster  Emmanuel goes from demanding unsolicited attentions from an upstairs neighbor who also is one of his clients as a hustler (Dennis Cooper), to hosting sexual encounters with Omar's acquaintances  All without avoiding his growing yearning for the better days with his ex, not even after luring an Omar's look-alike (Sebastian D'Azeglio) back into the apartment  After an intermission in which Emmanuel is confronted with his own collapsing lack of emotionality, he then clumsily refuses the advances of an underage boy who claims to be in need (Andréas Leflamand), nor engages in a bisexual threesome in exchange for a tip he reluctantly accepts from a successful old friend (Kate Moran)  The next day, Emmanuel begrudgingly succumbs to the advances from a teenager (Rabah Zahi), and uses the opportunity to sexually lash out on the boy  Finally, shortly before Omar's return, Emmanuel cries over the improvised mural he started days earlier on one of the walls in the apartment 
Not long after, Omar enters back into his apartment, stopping to contemplate the finished mural drawn by Emmanuel, who is nowhere to be seen

Everything is going great until Coach Fisher suffers a heart attack, and the assistant coach asks Curtis to step in as a replacement for the last two games  He hesitates at first, still haunted by his past failures, but is eventually talked into it  The Browns win the two games and are able to go to the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Miami Beach  Roy suddenly shows up to meet them, having seen his daughter play on TV  Claire and Curtis are both unhappy and suspicious about his return, but Jasmine is ecstatic, convinced that Roy finally wants to be a part of her life 
The Browns are nearly forced to skip the Super Bowl due to a lack of money, but are able to raise enough from the town; even Curtis pitches in by donating the last of his life savings  Jasmine plays poorly in the first half when Roy does not show up to watch  Curtis talks her through her feelings and the Browns rally for the second half  They lose the game after a teammate drops the ball on the last play, but everyone is glad nonetheless that for the first time, the Browns made it to the championship  Jasmine finally confronts her deadbeat father and returns his watch, cutting him out of her life for good and accepting Curtis as the father figure she always wanted

Passage 8:
John McMahon (Surrey and Somerset cricketer)
John William Joseph McMahon (28 December 1917 – 8 May 2001) was an Australian-born first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and Somerset County Cricket Clubs in England from 1947 to 1957 

Surrey cricketer
McMahon was an orthodox left-arm spin bowler with much variation in speed and flight who was spotted by Surrey playing in club cricket in North London and brought on to the county's staff for the 1947 season at the age of 29  In the first innings of his first match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs In his first full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them coming in the space of 6 3 overs for seven runs  This would remain the best bowling performance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later  In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth  In the 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28 07  As a tail-end left-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4 22 The emergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career  Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number of matches in 1950 brought 34 wickets  In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times  In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparative merits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12 38 runs apiece, while McMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of 21 53  At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of the County Championship and recruiting widely from other counties and other countries 

Somerset cricketer
Somerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence, with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service  McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodox spinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise his promise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly 
McMahon instantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every match during his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which he did not play in the Championship again In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellow newcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according to Wisden: "The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, they would have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen," it said  McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27 47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higher average)  His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second to finish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career  He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at the bottom of the table 
The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28 77 apiece  There was a small improvement in his batting and the arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season, and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9 03  This included his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome  A week later in Somerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowling performance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil through what Wisden called "clever variation of flight and spin"  These matches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season and the side finished at the bottom of the Championship for the fourth season running At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon became Somerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langford returning from National Service as the main support  McMahon responded with his most successful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25 57, the only season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets  The bowling average improved still further in 1957 to 23 10 when McMahon took 86 wickets  But his season came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutive Championship matches, he was dropped from the first team during the Weston-super-Mare festival  Though he played some games for the second eleven later in August, he regained his place in the first team for only a single end-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, a decision, said Wisden, that "proved highly controversial" 

Sacked by Somerset
The reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for many years  In its obituary of him in 2002, McMahon was described by Wisden as "a man who embraced the antipodean virtues of candour and conviviality"  It went on: "Legend tells of a night at the Flying Horse Inn in Nottingham when he beheaded the gladioli with an ornamental sword, crying: 'When Mac drinks, everybody drinks!'" The obituary recounts a further escapade in second eleven match at Midsomer Norton where a curfew imposed on the team was circumvented by "a POW-type loop" organised by McMahon, "with his team-mates escaping through a ground-storey window and then presenting themselves again"  As the only Somerset second eleven match that McMahon played in at Midsomer Norton was right at the end of the 1957 season, this may have been the final straw  But in any case there had been "an embarrassing episode at Swansea's Grand Hotel" earlier in the season, also involving Jim Hilton, who was also dismissed at the end of the season  Team-mates and club members petitioned for McMahon to be reinstated, but the county club was not to be moved 
After a period in Lancashire League cricket with Milnrow Cricket Club, McMahon moved back to London where he did office work, later contributing some articles to cricket magazines

Station for Two
Station for Two  (Russian: Вокзал для двоих, romanized: Vokzal dlya dvoikh) is a 1983 Soviet romantic comedy directed by Eldar Ryazanov  The film became the Soviet box office leader of 1983 with a total of 35 8 million ticket sales  It was entered into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival 

Plot summary
There are three main heroes in this movie: Vera, a waitress; Platon, a pianist; and     a train station where these two people met  The differences in the heroes' characters and professions, the plight that Platon found himself in (he is to be arrested and undergo trial) trigger a host of both amusing and sad situations which serve as a backdrop for their unfolding love  Platon is innocent of the crime he is accused of  He simply took the blame for his wife's driving over a pedestrian  But this is known only to Platon's wife and Vera in whom he confided  However, after the verdict has been passed, Platon's life is of no interest to his wife, although Vera is ready to wait for his release 

Ideas for the filming
The script (the beginning and the end of the movie) is based on two real stories from the life of well-known people – the composer Mikael Tariverdiev and the poet Yaroslav Smelyakov 
The idea was given to the authors by Tariverdiyev  During the trip on his car, he took the passenger's seat and had one of the famous actresses drive his car  Unfortunately, it ended tragically  They had an accident and a pedestrian died  The composer decided to take the blame on himself to save the woman  There was a very long legal process that lasted about two years  Mikael was found guilty, but he was saved by amnesty  However, the affair with that woman did not last long 
The second story, which happened with the poet Smelyakov, was used in the ending of the film  He was arrested in the early 1950s and was sent to the Arctic Circle  In 1953, he was given a day off to meet his friends  The next morning after the feast friends woke up late and overslept the roll-call  Delay for the roll-call was equated with the escape  So, Smelyakov and his friends had to run a few kilometers along the snow-covered tundra to the camp  Towards the end of the road, his friends had to drag him up to the very gates of the camp, as he was too tired

Buford catches up after the Bandit and Dusty stop at a redneck bar to eat  The chase then creates mass chaos in a local town  The Bandit escapes when an 18-wheeler blocks the alleyway where the Bandit sped through  While trying to get the truck out, Buford's car is towed, but he reverses the car and escapes  The tow truck driver chases him, with Junior spinning on the hook  Buford makes the truck flip over, sending Junior flying through the air  Other cars crash into the pile-up 
Buford chases the Bandit in the Mississippi Fairgrounds  Buford's car is thrown up on two side wheels by an incline, but he continues the pursuit while driving on two wheels 
That night, the Bandit and Dusty stop at a hotel called the Come On Inn, where people are involved in an orgy  Buford sees the Bandit's Trans-Am parked there and searches for the fish, which he finds  Buford also thinks he finds the Bandit in the sauna, but it turns out to be a muscular woman who bonds with him 
The next day, one of Buford's tires are blown by the "Enos Devil Darts"  The Bandit retakes the fish  Buford pursues on the remaining three tires, first through a herd of cattle, then through parked boats, then a nudist camp, then through a field where the Enoses set off explosions, one of which destroys the car except the engine, seat, and lights, the latter of which Junior is holding above his head 
The Bandit intends to surrender the fish and let Buford win  As Buford collects his money, he sees the Snowman  Thinking he is dealing with the real Bandit, he resists "the Bandit's" (imagined as Burt Reynolds) attempts to sweet-talk him out of capturing him before Junior (in a voiceover) reminds him of what is in store for him if he retires  Buford and the Bandit both separately come to the same conclusion that they need each other in order to have meaning in their lives and the chase resumes, with Buford giving the Bandit a five-minute head start and with the muscular woman joining up with him  Junior is left behind and chases after Buford and the woman, dropping all the money in the process

Production
The film was originally entitled Smokey IS the Bandit, and did not include Jerry Reed in the cast   Contemporary newspapers refer to original plans to feature Gleason as both "Smokey" and "the Bandit", and Reed's name does not appear in early promotional materials or newspaper accounts during the film's production   According to some accounts, Jackie Gleason was to play two roles: Sheriff Buford T  Justice and a different "Bandit"  The original version was shot in October 1982  Reportedly test audiences reacted poorly, finding Gleason's two roles confusing, so the studio opted to do re-shoots in April 1983   The Bandit scenes were re-shot with Jerry Reed playing the role  Other accounts indicate that the title was more literal: that Gleason was to play only Sheriff Justice, but the character would also fill the role of "the Bandit", by taking the Enos family's challenge (as Reynolds' character had done in the previous two films)  In a teaser trailer for the film (billed as Smokey IS the Bandit), Gleason appears in character as Justice, explaining to the audience that to defeat the Bandit he would adopt the attributes of his prey, "becoming [my] own worst enemy"  A publicity still of Gleason apparently shows him in costume as the Bandit 

Soundtrack
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on vinyl and cassette tape by MCA Records in 1983 

Reception
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 received negative reviews by critics and the film was generally regarded as the weakest of the three Bandit films in terms of both storyline and revenue  On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 17% based on reviews from six critics Janet Maslin of The New York Times gave the film a negative review: "The already skimpy running time of Smokey and the Bandit, Part 3 is padded by an opening montage of earlier Smokey scenes, including shots of Burt Reynolds lounging in a zebra-print hammock  He is grinning, as well he might, because he has been able to sit out Part 3 altogether  What has he missed? An interminable car chase punctuated by dumb stunts and even dumber dialogue, plus the well-worth-missing sight of Paul Williams in a dress"  Variety magazine staff wrote: "The sense of fun in that original is missing and the countless smashups and near-misses are orchestrated randomly" 
Despite the enormous financial success of the original film (grossing over $300 million on a budget of less than $5 million), coupled with respectable (though significantly lower) numbers generated by the sequel, the third installment was both a critical and box office flop, grossing only $7 million against the film's $9 million production budget 
Passage 3:
Smokey Bites the Dust
Smokey Bites the Dust is a 1981 car chase film from New World Pictures directed by Charles B  Griffith   Despite the title, the film is not connected to the Smokey and the Bandit series 

Plot
The stock plot deals with Roscoe Wilton (Jimmy McNichol), a teenage joyriding car thief, evading Cyco County Sheriff Turner (Walter Barnes) and his unintelligent deputies 
Turner becomes even more obsessed with catching Roscoe after he kidnaps his overly-sheltered daughter, Peggy Sue (Janet Julian), just as she is about to be crowned Homecoming Queen during a football game at their high school   In so doing, Roscoe also makes himself a target of other characters, including his best friend Harold (John Blyth Barrymore), Peggy Sue's friend Cindy (Kari Lizer), and Kenny (William Forsythe), a sanctimonius quarterback who is deeply, but vainly, in love with Peggy Sue 
While Roscoe is being chased by Sheriff Turner, Turner himself incurs the wrath of neighboring Knotsie County Sheriff Sherm Bleed after commandeering one of Bleed's cruisers   Turner's pursuit of Roscoe (and Peggy Sue, who quickly begins to enjoy being in Roscoe's company) goes through two other neighboring counties, with Turner commandeering several other police cruisers and civilian cars only to wreck each one in spectacular fashion 

Subplots
Lester (Patrick Campbell), a local moonshiner is looking to sell his "secret formula" to an Arab oil sheik for "a million clams"; the deal falls through when it turns out the sheik brought actual clams instead of money 
Harold and Cindy share a car as they join in the chase; Harold to get his dad's car back from Roscoe, and Cindy to give Peggy Sue her crown   As the chase progresses, Harold and Cindy begin to fall for one another, similar to Roscoe and Peggy Sue 
At a nearby truck stop, a preteen girl is willing to let Roscoe and Peggy Sue steal her father's station wagon (with boat in tow) in exchange for a carton of cigarettes   The girl appears several times more throughout the film, including near the end when everyone converges on Snake Lake Beach in a chaotic free-for-all; watching from a distance, the girl muses, "What, I ask you, is the point in growing up?" 
Kenny's infatuation with Peggy Sue motivates him to chase the elusive couple on his own in an attempt to rescue her; he even goes so far as to run other police cruisers off the road just so he can save Peggy Sue himself   After the fight on the beach, Kenny is eventually "arrested" by the female sheriff of neighboring Belladonna County

Production
Though the majority of the cars used in filming had California licence plates, the exact location of the storyline was more ambiguous; film dialogue mentioned the boonies, which generally refers to the Appalachian region, and also mentioned running off to "east St  Louis or west to Colorado"   Near the end of the film, Roscoe suggests they hotwire a boat and take off for St  Louis or New Orleans, both of which are on the Mississippi River 
Charles B  Griffith had made a popular film for Roger Corman's New World Pictures called Eat My Dust! (1976)  Corman wanted Griffith to make a follow up called Car Wars using stunt footage from five old New World films  Griffith wrote a script which he later called Wham Bam, Merci, Madame, which he says Corman rejected  However a few years later he reactivated the project 

He called again and offered me a lot more money than he ever had before  I guess I got flattered, and I went ahead and did it  He had Max Apple in Texas go ahead and write a script around all the wrecks and chases  But Max wasn't allowed to see the footage  It was too expensive to rent a Movieola and send Max prints or anything else, so he had only vague descriptions written down on what the stunts were—and nothing worked  So I made a lot of changes in it, and that made Roger angry  He tried to cut it just to the action of the old pictures, but he couldn't, because he needed all the distribution rights  Then he cut all the motivations and all the character development  It was a mess, a jumbled mess!
Apple later described the experience: "They wanted four or five crashes, of which they already had the footage  It was more bricklaying than writing 
Passage 4:
Smokey and the Bandit
Smokey and the Bandit is a 1977 American action comedy film starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Pat McCormick, Paul Williams and Mike Henry 
The directorial debut of stuntman Hal Needham, the film follows Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds) and Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed), two bootleggers attempting to illegally transport 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana to Atlanta  While the Snowman drives the truck carrying the beer, the Bandit drives a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am to distract law enforcement (called blocking) and keep the attention off the Snowman  During their run, they are pursued by Texas county sheriff Buford T  Justice (Gleason) 
Smokey and the Bandit was the second-highest-grossing domestic film of 1977 in the United States 

Plot
Wealthy Texan Big Enos Burdette and his son Little Enos have sponsored a racer in Atlanta's Southern Classic and want to celebrate in style when he wins, so they are seeking a trucker willing to bootleg Coors Beer to Atlanta for their refreshment  They find local legend Bo "Bandit" Darville at a truck rodeo at Lakewood Fairgrounds and offer him $80,000 to haul 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana (the closest place it could be legally sold at that time) to Atlanta in 28 hours  The Bandit takes the bet on the risky and unprecedented task, and recruits his brother-in-law Cledus "Snowman" Snow to drive the truck, while Bandit drives a black Pontiac Trans Am bought in advance from the Burdettes as a "blocker" to divert attention away from the truck and its illegal cargo 
The pair arrive in Texarkana one hour early and load up the truck, but just as they head back, Carrie, a runaway bride, intercepts Bandit and jumps in his car, unwittingly making him an indirect target of Sheriff Buford T  Justice, a career Texas lawman whose witless son Junior was to have married Carrie  Buford, with Junior along, engages in a high-speed pursuit and doggedly chases Bandit all the way to Georgia to retrieve Carrie and arrest the Bandit, while various comical mishaps cause his cruiser to disintegrate on the way 
Bandit attracts more police attention across Dixie as Snowman barrels on toward Atlanta with the contraband beer, but they are helped en route by many colorful characters via CB radio  Neither Buford nor any other lawmen know of Snowman's illegal manifest, while Bandit is likewise unaware that Buford is chasing him because of Carrie, whose jumpiness inspires Bandit to give her the CB handle "Frog" 
Just after re-entering Georgia, Snowman is rescued by Bandit after being stopped by a Georgia State Patrol motorcycle trooper, as state and local police intensely pursue Bandit with roadblocks and a helicopter to track his movement  With four miles left, Bandit, discouraged by the unexpected mounting attention, is ready to give up, but Snowman, who initially thought they would fail, takes the lead and smashes through the roadblock at the fairgrounds' main entrance  They return with ten minutes remaining on their time limit, but instead of taking the payoff, Carrie and Bandit accept a double-or-nothing offer from Little Enos: a challenge to run up to Boston and bring back clam chowder in 18 hours  They quickly escape in one of Big Enos's 13 Cadillacs as police flood the racetrack 
After passing Buford's badly damaged cruiser on the roadside, Bandit gets on the CB and initially directs him to the Burdettes, but then respectfully gives his real location—right behind Buford, who continues his chase leaving Junior behind, and with more parts falling off his cruiser as he limps off after Bandit

Production
Development
Needham originally planned the film as a low-budget B movie with a production cost of $1 million, with Reed as the Bandit  Needham had great difficulty getting any studios or producers to take his project seriously, being better known in the film industry as a stuntman  He obtained the attention of studios and aimed the film at a more mainstream release after his friend Reynolds read the script and agreed to portray the Bandit, with Reed now portraying the Bandit's friend the Snowman  Reed would eventually play the Bandit in Smokey and the Bandit Part 3, in which Reynolds only appeared in a cameo near the end  At the time, Reynolds was the top box office star in the world 
In the original script, Carrie was called Kate while Big Enos and Little Enos were called Kyle and Dickey  The Bandit's car was a second-generation Trans Am and the prize for completing the run was a new truck rather than $80,000  Reynolds revealed in his autobiography that Needham had written the first draft script on legal pads  Upon showing it to his friend, Reynolds told Needham that it was the worst script he had ever read, but that he would still make the movie  Most of the dialogue was improvised on set Universal Studios bankrolled Smokey and the Bandit for $5 3 million, figuring it was a good risk  Just two days before production was to begin, Universal sent a "hatchet man" to Atlanta to inform Needham that the budget was being trimmed by $1 million  With Reynolds' salary at $1 million, Needham was left with only $3 3 million to make the film  Needham and assistant director David Hamburger spent 30 hours revising the shooting schedule "Buford T  Justice" was the name of a real Florida Highway Patrolman known to Reynolds' father, who was once Police Chief of Riviera Beach, Florida  His father was also the inspiration for the word "sumbitch" used in the film, a variation of the phrase "son-of-a-bitch" that, according to Reynolds, he uttered quite often  Gleason was given free rein to ad-lib dialogue and make suggestions  It was his idea to have Junior alongside him throughout the film  In particular, the scene where Sheriff Justice unknowingly encounters the Bandit in a roadside diner (a "choke and puke" in CB lingo) was not in the original story but was rather Gleason's idea 
The film's theme song, "East Bound and Down", was written virtually overnight by Reed  He gave Needham a preview of the song and, getting no reaction, offered to rewrite it  In response, Needham told Reed that he liked the song so much that if Reed changed even a word or a note, Needham would "choke him"  It would become one of Reed's biggest hits and his signature song The film features the custom clothing and costuming of Niver Western Wear of Fort Worth, Texas  Niver provided much of the western attire worn in the film, as well as the custom-made sheriff's uniforms (waist size 64") that Gleason wore throughout the film 
While made to take advantage of the ongoing 1970s CB radio fad, the film added to the craze  Though the film Moonrunners (1975) is the precursor to the television series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985), from the same creator and with many identical settings and concepts, the popularity of Smokey and the Bandit and similar films helped get the Dukes series on the air  Three actors from the main cast of The Dukes of Hazzard appear in small uncredited roles in Smokey and the Bandit: Ben Jones, John Schneider, and Sonny Shroyer (who played a police officer in both)  In return, Reynolds portrayed Boss Hogg (originally portrayed by Sorrell Booke) in the film adaptation The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)  Reynolds is referenced by name in several early episodes of the series 

Casting
Before Gleason was cast in the film, Richard Boone was originally considered for the role of Buford T  Justice  Sally Field only accepted the part after her agent advised her that she needed a big movie role on her résumé  Universal executives initially resisted casting Field, claiming she was not attractive enough, but Reynolds insisted on her involvement  Field enjoyed making the film, but remembers that virtually the entire project was improvised 

Filming
Principal photography of the film began on August 30, 1976  The movie was primarily filmed in Georgia, in the cities of McDonough, Jonesboro, and Lithonia  The scenes set in Texarkana were filmed in Jonesboro and the surrounding area and many of the chase scenes were filmed in the surrounding areas on Highway 54 between Fayetteville and Jonesboro for a majority of the driving scenes, Mundy's Mill Road, Main Street in Jonesboro, Georgia State Route 400, I-85 (Pleasant Hill exit) and in McDonough  However, the scene where they drive through the Shell gas station was filmed in Ojai, California, on the corner of Ojai Avenue and El Paseo Road  Much of the surrounding scene comes from that immediate vicinity  The scene featuring the racetrack was filmed at Lakewood Speedway at the old Lakewood Fairgrounds on Atlanta's south side  The roller coaster in the movie was the Greyhound  It had not been used for some time and was repainted for the film  It was destroyed in Smokey and the Bandit II and in a flashback scene in Part 3  The area around Helen, Georgia, was used for some locations  The scene where Sheriff Justice's car has the door knocked off by a passing semi-truck was shot on Georgia State Route 75, 3 miles (4 8 km) north of Helen  The tow truck driver was a local garage owner, Berlin Wike  Reynolds and Field began dating during the filming According to an interview with Susie McIver Ewing on The RetroZest Podcast, she was picked to play the role of Hot Pants Hilliard after the dailies footage (shot in the Atlanta area) of the original actress playing the role was inadvertently destroyed on its way from Atlanta to Los Angeles  The new Hot Pants scene had to quickly be refilmed as a part of a second unit in the San Fernando Valley and was shot at a drive-in restaurant near Hansen Dam named Baby Beef Burgers, which has since been demolished  This same restaurant was used for a scene in the 1983 Stephen King Movie Christine, which was ultimately cut in the final film (it can be viewed as a deleted scene on the DVD release of the film) 

Vehicles
Hal Needham saw an advertisement for the soon-to-be-released 1977 Pontiac Trans Am and knew right away that it would be the Bandit's car, or, as Needham referred to it, a character in the movie  He contacted Pontiac and an agreement was made that four 1977 Trans Ams and two Pontiac LeMans four-door sedans would be provided for the movie  The Trans Ams were actually 1976-model cars with 1977 front ends (from 1970 to 1976, both the Firebird/Trans Am and Chevrolet Camaro have two round headlights and in 1977, the Firebird/Trans Am was changed to four rectangular headlights, and the Camaro remained unchanged)  The decals were changed to 1977-style units, as evidenced by the engine size callouts on the hood scoop being in liters rather than cubic inches, as had been the case in 1976  The hood scoop on these cars says "6 6 LITRE", which, in 1977, would have denoted an Oldsmobile 403-equipped car or a non-W-72, 180 hp version of the 400 Pontiac engine 
The cars were 1976 models, the engines fitted to them were 455ci power plants, the last year these engines were offered for sale before withdrawal  All four of the cars were badly damaged during production, one of which was all but destroyed during the jump over the dismantled Mulberry bridge  The Trans Am used for said jump was equipped with a booster rocket, the same type that was used by Evel Knievel during his failed Snake River Canyon jump  Needham served as the driver for the stunt (in place of Reynolds), while Lada St  Edmund was in the same car (in place of Field)  By the film's ending, the final surviving Trans Am and LeMans were both barely running and the other cars had become parts donors to keep them running  This gives rise to various continuity errors with Justice's patrol car, which during some chase sequences is shown with a black rear fender, which then reverts to the car's bronze color again in later scenes  When it is finally torn off along with the car's roof in the impact with the girder, the missing fender still reappears later on in the film  The Burdettes' car is a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible painted in a "Candy Red" color scheme and is seen briefly at the beginning of the movie and in the final scene as the Bandit, the Snowman, Fred the dog, and Frog use it to make their escape  Three Kenworth W900A short-frame semi trucks, driven by Reed, were each equipped with 38-inch sleepers  Two units were 1974 models, as evidenced by standard silver Kenworth emblems on the truck grille, and one unit was a 1973 model, as evidenced by the gold-painted Kenworth emblem on the truck's grille, signifying Kenworth's 50 years in business  The paint code for each truck was coffee brown with gold trims and the 48-foot (15 m) mural trailer used was manufactured by Hobbs Trailers in Texas with a non-operational Thermo King Refrigeration unit  This is obvious, because there is no fuel tank on the underside of the trailer to power the refrigeration unit, and the unit is never heard running 

Legal status of Coors beer
In 1977, Coors was unavailable for sale east of Oklahoma  Its lack of additives and preservatives meant that Coors could spoil in one week without refrigeration, explaining the film's 28-hour deadline  A 1974 Time magazine article explains that Coors was so coveted for its lack of stabilizers and preservatives, and Coors Banquet Beer had a brief renaissance  Future President Gerald Ford, after a trip to Colorado, hid it in his luggage to take it back to Washington, D C  President Dwight D  Eisenhower had a steady supply airlifted by the Air Force to Washington  Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox would bring several cases after playing on the West Coast, by stashing them in the equipment trunks on the team's plane  Frederick Amon smuggled it from Colorado to North Carolina and sold it for four times the retail price Coors is still brewed just outside Denver, Colorado  It is now sold in all states as Coors ships it in refrigerated train cars and bottled locally and sold in different parts of the country including the eastern US states 

Soundtrack
The theme music "East Bound and Down" was sung and co-written by Reed (credited under his birth name, Jerry Hubbard) and Dick Feller  It became Reed's signature song and is on multiple albums, including Country Legends and his live album Jerry Reed "Live!" (Still)  In 1991, it was arranged for orchestra by Crafton Beck and recorded by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for their album Down on the Farm  Several other groups, such as the U S  rock band Tonic and U K -based country cover band We Be Ploughin' have also covered it  Reed also penned and performed the song for the opening credits, entitled "The Legend", which tells of some of the Bandit's escapades before the events of the film, and the ballad "The Bandit", which is in several versions in the movie and on the soundtrack  Bill Justis is the first name on the credits for the soundtrack, as he composed and arranged original music throughout the film  Musicians such as Beegie Adair and George Tidwell played on the soundtrack  Five-string banjo player Bobby Thompson is prominent toward the end of "East Bound and Down"  The soundtrack album was released in 1977 on vinyl, cassette, and 8-track through MCA Records

Passage 10:
Fred Durst
William Frederick Durst (born Frederick Allen Mayne III; August 20, 1970) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and director  He is the frontman and lyricist of the nu metal band Limp Bizkit, formed in 1994, with whom he has released nine studio albums 
Since 2006, Durst has worked on a number of independent films  He co-starred in Population 436, and made his directorial debut in 2007 with The Education of Charlie Banks  He followed with The Longshots in 2008  His latest film, The Fanatic, came out in 2019  He appears as a super secret playable character in the video games Fight Club, WWF Raw, and WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It 

Early life
Durst was born Frederick Allen Mayne III in Jacksonville, Florida, but soon moved to Orlando and then a farm in Cherryville, North Carolina at one year old  His mother had him rechristened as William Frederick Durst after remarrying Bill Durst, a local police officer  Shortly after, Durst's parents had another child, his half-brother Cory Durst  In the fifth grade, he moved to Gastonia, North Carolina, where he graduated from Hunter Huss High School  As a child, Durst was bullied, which he incorporated into his music  At the age of 12, Durst took an interest in breakdancing, hip hop, punk rock, and heavy metal  He began to rap, skate, beatbox, and DJ  After being discharged from the Navy after two years (1988-1990), Durst moved back to Jacksonville in 1993, briefly living with his father and working multiple jobs as a landscaper, pizza delivery driver, and tattoo artist while developing an idea for a band that combined elements of rock and hip-hop 

Career
Formation of Limp Bizkit (1994–1998)
In 1994, Durst, Malachi Sage, bassist Sam Rivers, and Rivers' cousin John Otto jammed together and wrote three songs  Guitarist Wes Borland later joined  Durst named the band Limp Bizkit because he wanted a name that would repel listeners  Limp Bizkit developed a cult following in the underground music scene when its covers of George Michael's "Faith" and Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" began to attract curious concertgoers Later, when Korn performed in town as the opening act for Sick of It All, Durst invited Korn to his house  He was able to persuade bassist Reginald Arvizu to listen to demos of the songs "Pollution", "Counterfeit", and "Stalemate"  Korn added a then-unsigned Limp Bizkit to two tours, which gave the band a new audience  DJ Lethal, formerly of the hip hop group House of Pain, joined the band as a turntablist; Durst's disagreements with Borland led the guitarist to quit and rejoin the band In 1997, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip Records, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, and released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all to moderate response  On October 23, 1997, Durst met the band Staind, but friction quickly emerged between the two over the cover art of Staind's album  Durst unsuccessfully attempted to remove Staind from a concert bill shortly before their performance, but after hearing the band play, he was so impressed that he signed them to Flip/Elektra, recorded a demo with the band, and co-produced their next album, Dysfunction After Limp Bizkit finished a tour with the band Deftones, Durst and DJ Lethal were asked by Max Cavalera, formerly of the band Sepultura, to appear on "Bleed", a song from the self-titled debut of his new band Soulfly  Cavalera stated that producer Ross Robinson recommended that he work with Durst  Durst also made an appearance on Korn's album Follow the Leader  Jonathan Davis had intended to write a battle rap with B-Real of Cypress Hill, but the latter's label wouldn't let him do it, and Durst was tapped instead  Davis and Durst wrote the lyrics for "All in the Family", which featured the two vocalists trading insults  Davis and Durst would often offer suggestions for each other's lyrics; a lyric written by Durst as "tootin' on your bagpipe" was changed to "fagpipes" by Davis, who stated "I helped him bag on me better" Durst began to take an interest in filmmaking, directing the music video for Limp Bizkit's single "Faith" in promotion for its appearance in the film Very Bad Things; he was unsatisfied with it and made a second video which paid tribute to tour mates Primus, Deftones and Mötley Crüe, who appeared in the video

Les Claypool told the San Francisco Examiner, "Woodstock was just Durst being Durst  His attitude is 'no press is bad press', so he brings it on himself  He wallows in it  Still, he's a great guy " "It's easy to point the finger and blame [us], but they hired us for what we do — and all we did is what we do  I would turn the finger and point it back to the people that hired us," said Durst, in reference to original Woodstock co-founder, Michael Lang In June 2000, Limp Bizkit's tour was sponsored by the controversial file sharing service Napster  Durst was an outspoken advocate of file sharing  During the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, Durst performed Limp Bizkit's song "Livin' It Up", as a duet with Christina Aguilera  In response to the performance, Filter frontman Richard Patrick claimed that "Fred getting onstage with Christina Aguilera embarrassed us all " In response to the negative reactions to the performance, Durst remarked, "People always just wanna talk about Britney or Christina  What's the problem? Because they make a type of music we aren't allowed to like? Or you think they are the nemesis of what our music is about? Why segregate? Why be so musically fuckin' racist? What do you mean, I can't hang out with these types of people? Clearly I didn't give a fuck, which fed a lot of it, too  I mean, someone that's not going to give in and apologise    it's gonna make people carry on talking "During a 2001 tour of Australia at the Big Day Out festival in Sydney, fans rushed the stage in the mosh pit, and teenager Jessica Michalik died of asphyxiation  In Auckland, New Zealand, on the same tour, Durst threw water over the head of a security personnel tasked with defusing a similar situation  During the Big Day Out crush, Durst has been accused of taunting security guards intervening in the situation  In court, Durst, represented by his long-time attorney, Ed McPherson, testified he had warned the concert's organizers Aaron Jackson, Will Pearce and Amar Tailor and promoter Vivian Lees of the potential dangers of such minimal security  After viewing video and hearing witness testimony, the coroner said it was evident that the density of the crowd was dangerous at the time Limp Bizkit took the stage and Durst should have acted more responsibly when the problem became apparent  Durst stated that he was "emotionally scarred" because of the teenager's death In 2002, Durst was tapped to write songs for Britney Spears, and later said that he was in a relationship with her  Spears denied Durst's claims  In a 2009 interview, he explained that "I just guess at the time it was taboo for a guy like me to be associated with a gal like her " In February 2005, a sex tape featuring Durst was released on the Internet  Durst filed a $70 million lawsuit against ten websites that posted the video In May 2003, it was reported that Durst was working on a New Wave side-project alongside Limp Bizkit's Results May Vary album  The band, named Pacifica, was reportedly in its "very early stages" and had a sound reminiscent of Duran Duran and Soft Cell  News about the band stopped quickly and no releases ever surfaced
