I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but I can't help finding it horrifically funny that they used the name "Paul Campbell." Paul Campbell was a pseudonym used by the Weavers for their writing, and of course, the Weavers played the music (by then 30 to 40 years old), that I listened to in my teen years and which put me hopelessly out of touch with my generation.

Mine isn't even older media. I'm just apparently from the only household in town that watched Stargate.

Anyway, wringing true to your claim, I have no idea who you're talking about!
