Confusing and Creating Memories

This list of drummers is a a great resource if you get in a trivia contest.... or mix up Bob Hoskins with Phil Collins.  My Multiple Sclerosis addled brain connected them into the one person Hoskins the actor who was also a famous rock drummer before becoming a great actor.  I was admiring the composite as one man.  He seemed to possess so much talent in one vessel that it made me more than a little envious. 

I was certain that I'd heard a radio interview with the drummer turned actor but no luck looking him up there.  I turned to looking through this extensive list of drummers and lo and behold there was Phil Collins looking a lot like Bob Hoskins.  

This kind of mistake isn't uncommon for me. Sometimes things you dream take on an aspect of reality and over time you might forget the incident was just a dream.

It is called __________.  Help me out with this one... is there a list where I can find the name?


This incident is an example of how to use the Internet to overcome memory difficulties that are part of M.S. and of the general aging process.  The internet is my external hard drive boosting my brain power.  The old phrase was that "the pencil is mightier than the greatest mind" when it comes to memories.  Now we have the Internet to fulfill that function.  And we can cross check our facts.
