The Friends of Abe, Inc. (FOA) was a support and networking group for politically conservative members of the Hollywood elite.
 The organization was formed in 2004 by actor Gary Sinise.
 Screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd helped organize the group.
 "Friends of Abe" is a reference to "Friends of Bill", which is how members of Alcoholics Anonymous sometimes identify themselves, and "Friends of Dorothy", while "Abe" refers to Abraham Lincoln.
 As of January 2012, the organization had more than 1800 members.
 In addition to Sinise, Pat Boone, Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, and Scott Baio have stated that they are members of the organization.
 The organization fiercely protects its list of members for whom it maintains a secure private website, abespal.com.
 Sinise later withdrew from the leadership and Hollywood producer Jeremy Boreing became executive director.
George Wallace is a 1997 television film starring Gary Sinise as George Wallace, the former Governor of Alabama.

A cover band (or covers band), is a band that plays mostly or exclusively cover songs.
 New or unknown bands often find the format marketable for smaller venues, such as pubs, clubs, or parks.
 The bands also perform at private events, for example, weddings and birthday parties and may be known as a wedding band, party band, function band or band-for-hire.
 A band whose covers consist mainly of songs that were chart hits is often called a top 40 band.
 Some bands, however, start as cover bands, then grow to perform original material.
 For example, The Rolling Stones released three albums consisting primarily of covers before recording one with their own original material.
The Dan Band Live is the first album released by The Dan Band.
 It includes humorous covers of various pop songs.
The Lt. Dan Band is a cover band founded by Gary Sinise and Kimo Williams to perform at USO shows, entertain troops, and raise money for disabled veterans.
 The band is named after the character Lieutenant Dan Taylor, whom Sinise portrayed in the film "Forrest Gump".
 Sinise has said in interviews that many people know him by sight as "Lieutenant Dan" rather than by his real name, hence the band's name.
 The concept came about when Sinise asked for permission to bring musicians on his USO tours.
 The group was initially known as "Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band".
Kimo Williams is an American composer, musician and professor who has performed with a number of ensembles including his ensemble Kimotion and the Lt. Dan Band, that he co-founded with film/TV actor Gary Sinise.
 While he is perhaps best known for his work with the Lt. Dan Band, Williams has worked on a number of other projects including: award-winning photography, releasing four CDs, writing a stageplay and working on an opera based on the Courts Martial of Henry O Flipper, the first black graduate from West Point.
 Cognizant of the opportunities he had, as well as those he did not due to a childhood in which he moved often, Williams speaks to students about his history, their future and their need to combat mediocrity.
Of Mice and Men is a 1992 American period drama film based on John Steinbeck's 1937 novella of the same name.
