Amazing pic of Gervais as a teenager.
Some of these facts are really morbid and
some just goofy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Sharona#Inspiration
When Fieger was 25, he met 17-year-old Sharona Alperin, who inspired a two-month-long run of songwriting, as well as becoming Fieger's girlfriend for the next four years. Fieger recounted that "It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat; I fell in love with her instantly. And when that happened, it sparked something and I started writing a lot of songs feverishly in a short amount of time."
I can relate to that baseball bat thing.

A story (co-author) Michael (Heatley) wrote is about Sharona Alperin from (the Knacks) My Sharona. Its this cliche rock star lust story of a guy, (Knack lead singer) Mike Chapman, seeing a girl in the local record shop thinking, Well I can have her cause Im a rock star. I can use my rock star cache and get with her and then start going out with her. They started dating, he put her on the cover of the album, they split up, but kept in touch, even after they were divorced. They remained lifelong friends, and Sharona was friendly with (Chapmans) other wife, and when he got cancer, she was there with him. Its just such an odd thing that out of this sort of lustful record you have a whole sort of cycle or life knowing each other.

being presented celebratorily everywhere. Otoh, he's got a great life and a couple of people lost theirs (O.K., I'm telling myself to shut up now... )
