Mineo (Sicilian: Minìu, Greek: Menaion and Menai, Latin: Menaeum and Menaenum) is a town and comune in the Province of Catania, part of the Sicily. It lies 64 kilometres (40 mi) southwest of Catania, 56 kilometres (35 mi) from Ragusa, 54 kilometres (34 mi) from Gela, and 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Caltagirone. There are approximately 5,600 citizens living there.

Hollywood (/ˈhɒliwʊd/ HOL-ee-wuud) is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is notable for its place as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has come to be a metonym for the motion picture industry of the United States. Hollywood is also a highly ethnically diverse, densely populated, economically diverse neighborhood and retail business district.
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It officially merged with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry began to emerge, eventually becoming the most recognizable film industry in the world.
In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera (Nopal field), named for the Mexican Nopal cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an agricultural community flourished. The area was known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the pass in the Santa Monica Mountains immediately to the north.

Mineo made several television appearances before making his screen debut in the Joseph Pevney film Six Bridges to Cross (1955). He beat out Clint Eastwood for the role.

Boys hanging out at night
But we ain't living our lives just right
Living my life with out a care
Leopard print and tattered, tattered hair
Because what you don't get you will never know
I'm living my life like a T.V. show
Forgotten rebel just like a razor blade
I'll cut through you in my tirade
Forgotten Rebel
Eyes behind my head I feel you're glare
Reflection in the glass, I feel you're stare
The spark to my fuse, you light the match
Cause there ain't no survivors in the aftermath
Because what you don't get you will never know
I'm living my life like a T.V. show
Forgotten rebel just like a razor blade
I'll cut through you in my tirade
Forgotten Rebel
Boys hanging out at night
But we ain't living our lives just right
Living my life with out a care
Leopard print and tattered, tattered hair
Because what you don't get you will never know
I'm living my life like a T.V. show
Forgotten rebel just like a razor blade
