This was a brief from the agency to the musician - "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3 1/4 seconds long." The musician's name at birth was Brian Peter George. How do we know him better and identify the piece he created ?

What was unusual about Marlon Brando's Oscar acceptance speech for The Godfather?

Latchy

He made some speech about the native american indians and may have given his oscar back ?

I'll allow it!

He sent a Native American woman to the ceremony who advised the stunned audience that Brando wouldn't be accepting the award.
