It's wild how fragile and unknown memories are for us. Great quote from Bryan Cranston:
Cranston said he told Muniz not to worry about what he can’t remember. Cranston starred with Muniz in 151 episodes of Malcolm. “They are still [his] experiences,” Cranston said. “It will me my job, I will tell him, ‘remember this? Remember that on Malcolm?’ What a life for you.”
> “Since 2006, I’ve broken 38 bones,” says Muniz, who has also endured nine concussions since the age of 7. “As a kid I did everything. I played ice hockey, soccer, basketball, soccer. But a year ago I went roller skating, and I was literally the dad holding onto the rail. I realized I have to take care of myself.” > > In 2009, Muniz had a serious accident on the race track: “My car flipped a bunch and I crashed into a wall. In the end, I broke my back, ankle, four ribs and my hand. My thumb was dangling by the skin.”
So, it sounds like a combination of multiple things.
MitM was such a brilliant show ..

Turtles all the way down.
ps: for the pro web digger around, I read once that before jaydee was introduced to proper audio hardware by amp fiddler, he used single tape deck and a pencil to overlay samples by hand. Maybe it's just a legend.. could never find neither the original article nor any other sources.
I am not a fan of most hip-hop or rap. But, I think I can enjoy something from every genre. I was unfamiliar with this person and I've given a listen to his It's Yours track.
It's not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal. When added with the story, and knowing nothing else about the individual, 'gripping' really is a good adjective.
It's not really what I'd expect to see covered at HN, at first. Then I read it and, to borrow your word again, it is gripping enough to see why it would appeal to the HN crowd.
Finally, that's what I like about HN. The collective intelligence often inspires me to learn things I'd otherwise have no cause to investigate. It slips over into the real world as I may share a link, or even some insightful commentary, with the missus.
