Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette (30 October 1857 – 26 May 1904) was a French physician who could be classified today as a neurologist who is the eponym of Tourette syndrome, a neurological condition. He was born in "the small town of Saint-Gervais-les-Trois-Clochers, in the district of Châtellerault near the city of Loudun, France", and died in Lausanne, Switzerland.
During 1873 Tourette began medical studies at Poitiers. He later relocated to Paris where he became a student, amanuensis and house physician of his mentor, the influential contemporary neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, director of the Salpêtrière Hospital. Charcot also helped him to advance in his academic career. Tourette studied and lectured in psychotherapy, hysteria and medical and legal ramifications of mesmerism (modern-day hypnosis).
Tourette described the symptoms of Tourette syndrome in nine patients in 1884, using the name "maladie des tics". Charcot renamed the syndrome "Gilles de la Tourette's illness" in his honor.

Gilles Peterson (born 28 September 1964 in Caen, France, as Gilles Jerome Moehrle to a mother from Paris and a father from Zürich), is a SwissDJ, record collector and record label owner residing in London, UK. Through his labels Acid Jazz, Talkin' Loud, and latterly Brownswood Recordings, he has been associated with the careers of well-known artists of the 1990s such as Erykah Badu, Roni Size and Jamiroquai. He is also well known as a radio DJ.
After starting out on pirate radio, and having shows on various legal London-based radio stations, most noticeably including Kiss FM dance music station, he was recruited to the BBC's youth-oriented Radio 1 in 1998. Peterson is known for his eclectic musical selections, and has even been occasionally mentioned as the new John Peel[citation needed]. However whilst John Peel had an "anything goes" range of tastes displayed on his show, Peterson's focus has always been Jazz music, generally Modern Jazz, with a strong emphasis on its translation to a club environment, mixed with associated music styles.
Gilles Simon (born December 27, 1984) is a French professional tennis player and former world no. 6. He is a ten-time winner on the ATP World Tour. His coach is French tennis veteran Thierry Tulasne, and his fitness trainer is Paul Quetin.
Simon was born in Nice, France, into a family with no involvement in sport, his mother being a doctor and his father working in insurance. Supported by his parents, he started playing tennis at the age of 6. Due to a growth delay that runs in the family, he was shorter than most kids his age during his early teenage years. This is the reason he cites Michael Chang as a major influence, as his comparatively small frame proved that size was not an important factor in playing tennis.
On September 2, 2010, Simon became a father for the first time. His partner Carine Lauret gave birth to a baby boy. The couple named their first child Timothée. Timothée was born four weeks ahead of schedule, when Simon was competing in the 2010 US Open.
Simon began his professional tennis career in the summer of 2002, competing at multiple Futures tournaments in France before playing in tournaments outside the country of his birth. His first Futures title came in Lisbon, Portugal, in June 2003, and he reached the quarterfinals of three other tournaments. He then captured his second title in Jamaica in September. During 2004, he saw three wins in France and another in Algeria.

Drive, sleep, McDonald's, play
Drive, sleep, McDonald's, get faced
Drive, sleep, McDonald's, no pay
(this may not be what you expect)
Tour can be very unpredictable
Especially when you don't have any money
1997 was our first big trip
We didn't get too far before we ruined Tom's car
Can't seem to get a break down on the interstate
3 day van may have been a mistake
Picking up Paul in the U-Haul
Danadar let me out it's hot back here
(chorus)
well this may not be what we expected
But soon all our problems will be corrected
Some how everything seems to turnout find
(and we know who to thank every time)
One highlight was playing the underground stage
But Pauls not even making minimum wage
Now all of our shows are falling through
So we got nothing to do
And three pirates too
Gimme a coke with 6 straws
Who's got 10 bucks to feed us all?
There's not much to eat
Looks like Tom Manns is cheap
I'd like to pay for my friends
But there's nothing to spend
(Nothing to spend)
Tom cant pass the teacher test
And the old van plays cassettes too fast (kenny)
I'm sick of work
Let's try and go full time
Invade the united states with the deal and the saints!
DId you bring your toothbrush?
-Yeah
No you didn't did you?
-No.
