Caesar Ramon Martinez is a recurring fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Jose Pablo Cantillo in the third and fourth seasons of the television show of the same name. Martinez is introduced in the 27th issue of the comic book series in April 2006 as the loyal second-in-command to The Governor. He is responsible for bringing Rick Grimes and two of his fellow survivors, Michonne and Glenn into Woodbury to be questioned and later tortured. In the television series, he is introduced in the third season's third episode to Andrea and Michonne as one of The Governor's soldiers.
In the television series, Martinez is not as subservient to The Governor, being distraught and shocked over some of his actions and even sees the conflict between Woodbury and the prison as pointless, ultimately abandoning The Governor after he murders his entire army. He becomes the leader of his own camp of survivors after Woodbury is inactive, which include the Chambler family, Tara and Lilly. Though he does have an ego and a survivalist mindset Martinez is reasonable enough to let new members into his group so long as they contribute.
Martinez is a Swedish dansband that was formed in Alnön, near Sundsvall in 1976 as Triggs. In 1978, the name was changed Santos, and eventually in 1980 to Martinez. The band has scored chart successes in Sweden. Many lead vocals have been with the band including Maribel Martinez, the band's first singer in whose name the band is named, Agneta Olsson, Louella "Lillan" Vestman and Claudia Unda. From 2008, Louella "Lillan" Vestman returned as lead singer. From 2012, Sandra Estberg is the band's lead.
A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
"Travolta" (also known as "Quote Unquote") was the first single released by American experimental band Mr. Bungle. It was featured on their self-titled debut album.
Although the song was originally titled "Travolta", it was quickly changed to "Quote Unquote" due to legal threats. A music video was made for "Travolta," using its later title "Quote Unquote." The video was banned from MTV due to images of the band members (dressed in various costumes and masks) hanging from meat hooks and overall scary, disturbing images. The video used the single version of the song.
Allmusic considers the song to be a tribute to John Travolta and fellow actor Patrick Swayze. A biography about John Travolta, written by Bob McCabe, was titled "Quote, Unquote" after the song. The main theme from the movie Grease, a movie John Travolta was famous for, was sampled twice in the song.
