Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

After
five years of a short but remarkable career, Monika left
modeling, finished high school with honors and moved to
Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
Went
to the same high school (Woburn Collegiate
Institute in Scarborough, Ontario) as Heather Morton, who won Miss Teen Canada 1987,
one year after Monika was named Supermodel of the World.

Barenaked
Ladies
What’s
your favorite Hockey team?
BarenakedLadies:
Toronto Maple Leafs.
What High School did you and Ed go to? (Tyler went to
Huron Heights)
BarenakedLadies:
We went to Woburn Collegiate. |
|
| Teenage
friends Ed Robertson and Steven Page found themselves laughing
at the innocent and child-like term "barenaked lady"
while attending a Bob Dylan concert in 1988. Both Robertson
and Page agreed that it would make a funny band name, and
since the duo was already into rock music and playing guitar,
the Barenaked Ladies were born. Joining them were bass man
Jim Creeggan, his brother Andy on keyboards, and drummer
Tyler Stewart, and the Barenaked Ladies began to blend their
comic relief sensibilities inside an eclectic mix of jazz,
folk, and rock. |

Prakash John
Bass player. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
John started playing bass at the age of 17. His first high school band was named The Questions. John quickly moved on to his first paying gig with a 'Beatle' band called The Bounders, which was renamed The Press Gang in 1965. The following year John formed his first R&B group, The Trikq, which served as the rhythm section for John's next collaboration in 1967 with George Olliver & The Soul Children. John completed his first recording with The Majestics, a local nightclub band. In 1969, John joined Bush. Bush, the successor to Canadian band Mandala, was largely the brainchild of two Canadians, drummer Penti 'Whitey' Glan and guitarist Domenic Troiano; although Bush only lasted a year and a half, its influence among rock musicians was significant. |
