So I would like to ask: Is it time for Free Republic to become an online subscription service? Currently, the site is...

The year was 2002. The man was David Hasselhoff. The album was "Hooked on a Feeling," a collection of songs recorded by the great one himself. Here’s the hitch. Hasselhoff was already a megastar in Europe, but he felt that he needed to kick off the release of his album with a bang. So, you know what he did?
