Even world famous rock stars get stuck on the side of the road. U2's Bono found himself having to hitchhike near Vancouver, British Columbia after he got stuck in a rainstorm. He and his assistant were picked up by an Edmonton Oilers hockey player. Bono says he's now a hockey fan.
#1 - Jack Kevorkian
The man known as Doctor Death has died. During Kevorkian's controversial medical career, he publicly acknowledged helping more than 130 patients end their lives. He turned the issue of doctor assisted suicide into a national debate. Kevorkian served prison time after being convicted of murder in 1998 for helping one of his patients commit suicide. He sat down with CNN later in his life. The CNN reporter asks "With regard to most of the things that people know Jack Kevorkian for, do you have any regrets? Kevorkian answers, "No, no it's your purpose as a physician - how can you regret helping a suffering patient?" Kevorkian died from a blood clot at a Detroit area hospital. He was 83 years old.
