Real deal.
Oilers on early trains had to be oiled to stop friction on the drive wheels. Oilers always failed... except the McCoy brand and they became known as the best and 'the real McCoy'

These appear to be the real McCoy.

Moby is a talented musician who helped make electronica what it is today.
Neverthelesss, other artists/groups such as Orbital, Underworld, Kraftwerk, the Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow/U.N.K.L.E. ,Aphex Twin ,Crystal Method, heck even Fatboy Slim and i'm sure i'm forgetting more groups etc. have had more impact on electronica music overall, than Moby has.
Moby's music definitely soared in popularity with he album Play. The album Play however, was just freeriding off the popularity of other albums that came out earlier such as: Chemical Brothers' Dig You Own Hole and Prodigy's Fat of the Land, and Daft Punk' Homework. It was these earlier albums that had the tough job of cracking the North American market for electronica, so they set it up for an American act such as Moby to be more successful.
But if you have been listening to electronica/rave/techno before it exploded in 1997 you would've have recognized the pioneering albums such as Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation and Experience , Chemical Brother's Exit Planet Dust, Orbital's self titled Orbital and Orbital2, Kraftwerk's Computer World etc.
That is not to say Moby wasn't making music before electronica was big in North America. It's just that he didn't make a big impact then. Most people just knew the single 'Go'.
For some reason, to me it seems that people in America credit Moby mostly because he's American and he's got some opinion about everything. He's more in the public eye. Or perhaps, maybe they give him patronage because Eminem picks on him and we feel sorry for him.
Whatever the reason, the above mentioned artists (are more influential musically and internationally.)

Still, I like that New York egghead's music. My fave song of his is 'God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters'.

One of the coolest and greatest actors alive (along with Robert De Niro.) I'd include Marlon Brando but he's passed away now. Brando was also great because without him there wouln't have been a Pacino or De Niro.
1- Starred in the Godfather part I, II and III as Michael Corleone
2- Starred in Scarface as Tony Montana

Pacino in Godfather II
"Fawking"
reapeated Oh I dunno a 100 times maybe as Tony Montana in Scarface.

A person who collects books, newspapers, articles, journals, ebooks, webpages, magazines or any medium of information but has never read them or does not plan to read them in the future. Just collects all kinds of information which will eventually clutter up his/her bookshelf, filing cabinet, drawer, chest, binder, hard-drive, floppy disk, cd, house etc.
Similar to an info junkie who collects all kind of information, but unlike an info junkie who uses the information, an information pack rat accomplishes nothing.
A person who takes out 10 library books at a time and reads none of them is kind of like an information pack rat except he/she does not get to keep the books.

Man! I have so many books on diverse subjects like philosophy , mathematics, cooking, rock n' roll history and politics and I've never finished reading either of them. Now I'm out $500 for buying these books and know nothing new. I'm such an information pack rat

The most kickass web browser out there now (developed by Mozilla). It is so superior in comparison to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Try it! You'll wonder how you ever surfed the net without it.
You won't be disappointed.
