Steven William “Stove” King (born 8 January 1974 in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire) is an English musician, formerly the bassist for the rock band Mansun.
King formed Mansun with Paul Draper, with whom he shared an interest in graphic design. His first bass was an Aria Pro, which he bought to rehearse with Draper – the pair would play along to drum loops in their bedrooms. Having not picked up an instrument prior to the formation of Mansun, King went on to become a solid bass player, with Bassist Magazine commenting in 1997 that despite being a relative newcomer to the instrument and being self-deprecating in interviews, “Stove and Mansun drummer Andie Rathbone have formed a pretty solid bond in the rhythm department”.
King also became a pivotal member of Mansun in terms of promoting the band. At one point, he operated an answerphone (nicknamed the Mansaphone – the phone number to which was printed on all the band’s releases) installed in his house to update fans on news and also receive messages from them.
King left the band in late 2002 after several recording sessions for the album that was eventually released as Kleptomania, leading to the band’s split.
It is claimed that the nickname Stove comes from a typo on his birth certificate, which read “Stove” instead of “Steve”.

Karl Rove’s biography, fact, career, awards, net worth & life story

Karl Rove was often called “Bush’s Brain” for his political genius in directing George W. Bush’s successful campaigns for governor of Texas and president of the United States. Rove became active in Republican party politics in the 1970s, when he knew Bush’s father, George H. W. Bush. Rove ran the elder Bush’s unsuccessful primary campaign for president against Ronald Reagan in 1980, and then worked in Texas for Republican politicians, among them Senator Phil Gramm. He started a consulting firm, Karl Rove & Company, in 1981 and began to pile up political successes as well as complaints about his aggressive and sometimes underhanded campaign tactics. He helped guide George W. Bush to wins in the Texas gubernatorial elections in 1994 and 1998, then ran Bush’s successful presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2004. He remained a close advisor to Bush in the White House, managing the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Public Liaison and the Office of Strategic Initiatives. He resigned at the end of August, 2007, and became a commentator for the cable channel Fox News.
