I'd go back to see if O.J. Simpson was "the real killer." Maybe the final assault on the Alamo would be worth a look, though the movies have probably made it sound more spectacular than it was.

You and RJD-Jr should start up a duet with your "Very nice and obviously talented" remarks everytime there is a photo like this. By the way, in what way are these girls "obviously talented?" In looks, perhaps. Singing ability? I doubt it.
