Amadeus balked at being included in the book - he just didn't give interviews. But a Norwegian folk song he heard her singing caught his ear. "Sing your fisherman song for my CD and I'll be in your book...
...Rocky and Rambo: those franchises are sooo last century. Stallone knows he's lucky to have played two iconic heroes, but he calls it "the esoteric kiss of death, because you're never going to be taken seriously.
