You're welcome, Ashlar.
I saw on the list of famous Freemasons W.C. Fields' name, and I was really surprised because he seemed not the type to join organizations, especially a fraternal one. I don't know if he said it in a movie or wrote it, but I remember him saying that he wouldn't want to be a member of any organization that would have him for a member. Well, perhaps he wasn't such a lone wolf as he said he was!

That particular quote is from Groucho Marx. Groucho was never a Mason.

You're right, I had my stories mixed up. The story about Fields is that he was once caught reading a Bible and when asked why he is supposed to have replied "I'm looking for loopholes."

Brad Paisley is a member. I thought there was another country music singer, but I cannot think of the name.
