Bon Jovi (album)
''Bon Jovi'' is the debut studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on January 23, 1984, by Mercury Records. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album in which a song (" She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written or co-written by a member of the band. The album charted at number 43 on the US ''Billboard'' 200. Aside from the hit single " Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after Bon Jovi released ''Slippery When Wet'' in 1986.

Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce (; 18 March 1877 – 3 January 1945) was an American clairvoyant who claimed to channel his higher self while in a trance-like state. His words were recorded by his friend, Al Layne; his wife, Gertrude Evans, and later by his secretary, Gladys Davis Turner. During the sessions, Cayce would answer questions on a variety of subjects such as healing, reincarnation, dreams, the afterlife, past lives, nutrition, Atlantis, and future events. Cayce, a devout Christian and Sunday-school teacher, said that his readings came from his subconscious mind exploring the dream realm, where he said all minds were timelessly connected. Cayce founded a non-profit organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, to record and facilitate the study of his channeling and to run a hospital. Cayce is known as "The Sleeping Prophet", the title of journalist Jess Stearn's 1967 Cayce biography. Religious scholars and thinkers, such as author Michael York, consider Cayce th ...

Something Wicked (album)
''Something Wicked'' is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Nuclear Assault, released on February 23, 1993 by I.R.S. Records. This is the first and only album not to feature founding members Dan Lilker and Anthony Bramante, as they departed in 1992 before the recording process began. Their replacements, Scott Metaxas and Dave DiPietro, were both part of the final Prophet line-up that recorded the ''Recycled'' album; DiPietro had also previously played in T.T. Quick with drummer Glenn Evans. ''Something Wicked'' would also be Nuclear Assault's final studio album for 12 years, until the release of ''Third World Genocide'' in 2005. The record is considered a slight departure from the band's early hardcore punk/thrash metal roots, by incorporating a slower groove metal sound. The title track was released as a music video. The song is featured in the end credits of the 1993 film '' Warlock: The Armageddon'' and in the 2017 film '' It''. Track listing All songs writte ...
