Who knew so many people were so knowledgeable about leather?

Several readers wrote in about yesterday's post about what we thought was an odd Judas Priest reference in a FOX 411 report on Michael Jackson's baby mama, Debbie Rowe.

Many of you suggested that the term "hell-bent for leather" comes from the lyrics to the Rawhide theme. Another reader pointed us toward Word-Detective's entry that dates it back to Rudyard Kipling.

So, our apologies to Roger Friedman for suggesting he's merely a Judas Priest fan: obviously he's a great admirer of Rawhide and a lover of Kipling.
