David Coverdale

A British rock star who has a miraculous talent for singing, as well as a knack for teasing his hair up higher than it should ever naturally go.
During his "normal human being" period (1951-1972) he spent his time as a child and as a club singer.
In his "oh my god I can't believe I'm in Deep Purple" phase (1973-1976) he worked as an adequate replacement to Ian Gillian in Deep Purple.
He later transitioned to his "I think I'm going to name a band after my penis" period (1977-1984) in which he started Whitesnake and achieved much overseas success, however in the U.S. most people we're too busy telling each other to "relax".
It wasn't until his "freebase cocaine and hairspray" period (1985-1991) that the U.S. finally took notice of him and his band.
When Whitesnake broke up in '91, Coverdale retreated to his "I think I'm going to cut my hair and act real serious" period (1992-2001) in which he cut his hair and acted really serious.
Finally, he made it to his "I'm a total effing rock legend and you know it" phase (2002-present) in which he has lightened up considerably, regrown his hair, and reformed Whitesnake.
David Coverdale lives in Lake Tahoe and is happily married to his (third, I think)wife.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
