 Non-embedded Hands up, who here (besides Bob) knows what this is a reference to. As to why it's here, I seem to recall a few displacees with acting aspirations.

I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh, Clark Kent, Mary Sue, DJ Croft, Skysaber. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the sun grows dim and cold....
The description on the YouTube page says 1968-1969, so I expect it's a deliberate reference.
