IN: Ugly Kid Joe is an American rock band from Isla Vista, California, formed in 1987. The band's name spoofs that of another band, Pretty Boy Floyd. Ugly Kid Joe's sound includes a range of styles, including rock, hard rock, funk metal and heavy metal. To date, Ugly Kid Joe have released four full-length albums, two compilation albums and two EPs.

Klaus revealed in an earlier interview on TV that the character was a caricature of Whitfield Crane, info confirmed later by its author Moish Brenman (Whitfield's high school friend and Roger Lahr's roommate in their teenagehood). Moish became the genius painter for customisation skateboards and was involved in plenty of projects about Arts. He died during the Stairway to Hell sessions and was replaced by Daniel Mercer for the coverdesigns. The UKJ he created is a boy showing a middle finger and hiding a bottle of beer behind his back, wearing a blue baseball hat, a dirty white T-shirt, green Bermuda shorts, white socks and Doc marten shoes ( or sometimes sneakers too). Moish was supposed to be the official and unique drawer of the band once they were signed by Mercury Records, but for still unexplained reasons he was replaced by Marc Goldstein (so damn cool and Goddamn Devil pictures). Some unknown pictures from Brenman about UKJ are still in existence. In a conversation on the UKJ forum in 2006, he revealed he wanted to build up a bunch of other characters deriving from the other band's members or their friends by the time he was the official drawer but that project has never been broacasted. Plenty of pictures of the UKJ are made for free for the UKJ fans. They are coverdesigns bootlegs to replace those which are disappointing (Goddamn Cool or As ugly as it gets for instance) or for old or new bootlegs without sleeves. The very great majority of those sleeves are made by UKJ Fan Artists or Mercer-Moish's fans such as Karaokeman (who is more a customizer of other artists work), Kiplegends (Iamthewolf), Marcos Moura, Vivien Hup for the most current. Those pictures are not for lucrative activities and made as a tribute to Brenman or Mercer or for fun for fans and a warning message is always put on every bootleg about the consequences if that rule of 'NOT FOR SALE' would not be respected.

IN: George Washington (February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799) was an American statesman and soldier who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797 and was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and later presided over the 1787 convention that drafted the United States Constitution. As a driving force behind the nation's establishment he came to be known as the "father of the country," both during his lifetime and to this day. Washington was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia to a family of wealthy planters who owned tobacco plantations and slaves, which he inherited.

George Washington was the first child of Augustine Washington and his second wife Mary Ball Washington, born on their Popes Creek Estate near Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was born on February 11, 1731, according to the Julian calendar and Annunciation Style of enumerating years then in use in the British Empire. The Gregorian calendar was adopted within the British Empire in 1752, and it renders a birth date of February 22, 1732. Washington was of primarily English gentry descent, especially from Sulgrave, England. His great-grandfather John Washington immigrated to Virginia in 1656 and began accumulating land and slaves, as did his son Lawrence and his grandson, George's father Augustine. Augustine was a tobacco planter who also tried his hand at iron manufacturing, and later he was the Justice of the Westmoreland County Court. In Washington's youth, his family was moderately prosperous and considered members of Virginia's "country level gentry" of "middling rank," rather than one of the leading wealthy planter elite families. His wife Sally was also a friend of Washington and an early romantic interest, and maintained correspondence when she moved to England with her father, but most of the letters were intercepted by the British during the war. Lawrence Washington inherited a plantation from their father on the Potomac River at Little Hunting Creek which he named Mount Vernon in honor of his commanding officer Vice Admiral Edward Vernon. Washington inherited Ferry Farm upon his father's death and eventually acquired Mount Vernon after Lawrence's death. The death of his father prevented Washington from an education at England's Appleby Grammar School such as his older brothers had received. He achieved the equivalent of an elementary school education from a variety of tutors, as well as from a school run by an Anglican clergyman in or near Fredericksburg. His education totaled seven or eight years, while he lived with relatives at various places that included the Westmoreland and the Chotank regions of Virginia, as well as Ferry Farm and Mount Vernon. He was trained in mathematics, trigonometry, and surveying that developed a natural talent of draftsmanship and map making. He was also an avid reader and purchased books on military affairs, agriculture, and history, as well as the popular novels of his times. There was talk of securing an appointment for him in the Royal Navy when he was 15, but it was dropped when his widowed mother objected. In 1751, Washington traveled with Lawrence to Barbados (his only trip abroad) in the hope that the climate would be beneficial to Lawrence's declining health, as he was suffering from tuberculosis. Washington contracted smallpox during the trip, which left his face slightly scarred but immunized him against future exposures to the disease. Lawrence's health failed to improve, and he returned to Mount Vernon where he died in the summer of 1752. His position as Adjutant General (militia leader) of Virginia was divided into four district offices after his death, and Washington was appointed by Governor Dinwiddie as one of the four district adjutants in February 1753, with the rank of major in the Virginia militia. He also became a freemason while in Fredericksburg during this period, although his involvement was minimal.
