According to him, he did play trombone, but the good playing was a Watrous overdub.

I don't know that we'll ever get the zeal of the 90's back.  I was hopeful, then.

Back then the Nevada desert was Mecca for the paranormally inclined. 

Maybe the world has always been as fractioned as it is now — but we could imagine otherwise because we were technological islands.  And now we're confronted daily by the rust that corrodes civilization, and it desiccates optimism.

I don't know.

One of the figures I admired — in the field of the weird — and one of the people I consider synonymous with those "heady days," is Glenn Campbell, who is still alive:

but not for long.

He's the founder of the Area 51 Research Center, a veritable walking encyclopedia of black world aerospace. Heartbreaking to see him in this state. It seems only yesterday he was climbing Tickaboo Peak and Freedom Ridge.

I haven't, but I corresponded with him and he was very patient and helpful with questions, even though he was moving on to other things at the time. Most of his latest work involves documenting ecological change.

I recall when Art initially had him on thinking that he was going to interview the single-n Campbell of "Wichita Lineman," wrecking-crew, etc fame. But though I wish Art would've interviewed Glen I enjoyed the interview with Glenn! An interesting character to say the least and I'm sad to see his condition but I'm sure he will handle it well. Odd that both Glen/nns seem to have alerted that their health was soon going to get bad and went public with that.

http://glenn-campbell.com/uwcrcn/    Just one interesting story....

My buddy, Michael G.

He wasn't a real celeb, but he was to me. And also to the many hundreds of people who were lucky enough to know him. Initial reactions to meeting Mike usually ran something like this- first he'd scare you with his physical appearance, kind of like a gnarley tatted caveman with one eye looking at you and the other looking off to the side like he's seeing your aura. Then he'd intrigue you with his sharp mind and wit. Then you'd end up loving him. He was a textbook case of how you can choose the freedom to decide to be who you need to be as you become more self aware. He did prison time for offing a dude with a knife who was beating a woman. In the penitentiary he became an Aryan Brotherhood member with the tats and all- full back swastika, teardrop on his face, and the words Speedy McGreedy on his neck. Following his release he ended up at a rainbow gathering where he converted to a non tweeker, loving and peaceful dude. He ended up doing security for the Grateful
Dead for several years and was widely known as Rainbow Mike, or Handsome- a tribute to his intimidating looks. When I met him he was still a pretty hard drinker but after introducing him to sweat and tipi ceremonies he left that behind as well. He eventually met a beautiful woman and they loved each other so much they were like one thing. I performed their wedding ceremony on an outdoor altar with two Harleys and a mixed posse of hardcore bikers with colors, tie dyed hippies, and absolutely normal church folks. Mike loved everybody and he had a way of bringing us all together as one eclectic tribe. A couple of years back he was diagnosed with lung cancer so we flew him and his wife here to California and put him through the rigors of two Native American Church healing ceremonies, which were immediately followed by surgery back in his home state.  I believe that those prayers and his will to live contributed to his complete remission as he was pronounced cancer free 6 months ago. During one of the ceremonies he promised to all of us that he refused to let cancer take him out. He was true to his word. A few days ago he had a freak accident by which he fell and broke his neck. We can hardly believe it as Mike was one of the strongest, most indestructible appearing men I've ever met. As my son said- He was made of steel. But even steel breaks I guess. Now I'm getting ready to board a plane to Montana as his widow has asked me to lead the ceremony/celebration for one of the most amazing people I've ever known.

He called me just over a week ago and we had a long talk about friends and family and this brief opportunity we're given to explore, learn, and love. I'm so glad I had the presence of mind to tell him how much I love and appreciate him just before we ended the call. Life is delicate no matter how strong you are. It's a good thing to remember.

"We've had superstars and megastars but America has only had one Queen"

"Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace."

"“I started seeing a psychiatrist, started taking Lamictal and Seroquel, which stabilized me. It wasn’t easy. I messed up a few more times, getting drunk, because I was scared about having a hysterectomy. But there’s no other way to deal with cancer except fighting back aggressively. I became a warrior. I ended the pity party and grew up, do or die.”

As time went on, Janus was able to find treatments that were effective in managing her mood and psychotic symptoms. Janus says the combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy has been effective for her. "

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brick-brick/201509/jill-janus-new-beginning

"In addition to cognitive-behavioral therapy, Janus has been taking a holistic approach that includes the use of vitamins and dietary supplements. “Cognitive behavioral therapy is a great tool to gain self-control and avoid bad situations — mostly violent outbursts. I also began exercising at a gym this year, which is amazing for my moods.  And I changed my diet with the help of a naturopath. He prescribed supplements, which include L-Theanine, pure fish oil, homeopathic remedies, Pulsatilla 1M and Sepia 1M. I also use tincture to ease anxiety in my ‘danger zone’ between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., a mixture of equal parts Melissa officinalis, Scutellaria and Kalmerite glycerite.”"

He and his first wife had accumulated a good bit of property in northeast Florida.  The parcels were litigated over for years. I'm not sure how they got their money, but do remember that she was seriously hurt in an automobile accident before he dumped her.

Sen. John McCain was so much more than a celebrity. He was truly a great American. I rarely agreed with his politics but always respected him and appreciated his service and sacrifices to our country. And his intelligence, integrity and sense of humor. When men of honor are so desperately needed, we may never see his like again

"... We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been, ..."

Scott Wilson, who played the farmer Hershel on the television series The Walking Dead, died yesterday at the age of 76.  Walking Dead fans will remember him as the wise, white bearded man who gave Rick Grimes and his followers sanctuary after they fled from a walking dead filled Atlanta, Georgia.  Hershel was a peaceful and wise owner of a large farm out in the country and despite the fact that he had a barnful of walking dead creatures (his family members and close friends) he did manage to instill in Rick and gang that there was more to life than just going out there and killing living and nonliving human beings.  Then the evil Governor (the series first major villain) captured Hershel and beheaded him, a major bummer and I almost stopped watching the show but I'm glad that I didn't because The Walking Dead is a super interesting, life afferming television show and while there is lots of blood and gore, there is also a wonderful sense of the gift of life exhibited.  I have really enjoyed this series over the last eight years.  Oddly enough, Hershel returns in season nine of the show (starting today if you want to watch it on AMC with all the commercials.) but, from what I've read, he is seen as a hallucination of a dying Rick Grimes.  Yup, Rick dying is going to be a major obstacle in my continuing with the series but what the hell, I'll probably keep watching it.

By the way, Scott starred in some other top flight movies such as In Cold Blood (the vicious killer Dick) The Great Gatsby, The Right Stuff, Pearl Harbor, and G.I. Jane, just to mention a few.

Now there is a weird trio.  If Ron Jeremy finds your lifeless corpse does that mean you had "A Life Well Lived?"

I'm wondering if the Hedgehog called it in immediately or if he saw an opportunity  and did the unthinkable.  Well, since this guy allegedly sucked his own  dick on film, is anything really unthinkable?

What an incredible run Stan Lee had. The end of an era. One of Stan Lee's recent and last film appearances will be in Starship Farragut's finale film "Homecoming" which is still in post production. I am sure the role in Starship Farragut (a TOS fan film series) didn't pay much so he did that out of a love for the craft.

Wow.  Didn't know Sartain was on Hee Haw.  He and Gary Busey did a small radio/television segment in the Tulsa area back in the early 70's.  Sad news about Clark.  I got to see him one at the Neewollah Festival in Independence Kansas around 15 years ago or so.  I took a group of people with developmental disabilities (my job at the time) to the parade and the music show later that night.  I remember complaining to my supervisor about the prospect of having to sit through a country music show.  I profusely apologized the following Monday.  Roy and the others put On one hell of a show.  An insanely talented entertainer. RIP.

And tell me is there any scene

After this,Johnny Carson was speechless!
He gulped visibly and went on,while there was scattered,un-certain applause from the alleged studio audience.

Bob McNair wasn’t just the brightest Point of Light in Houston; he was one of the kindest and most generous people anywhere. Nobody cared — or helped people — more, and that’s just one of the reasons I will always be proud Bob was my good friend. He was simply The Best. My most sincere condolences and family love go to Janice and her wonderful family

Rickey Jay.

Ricky Jay, the master magician and frequent actor in David Mamet films died Saturday at the age of 70.

From the work I have seen he was always great. His monologues were always powerful.

He also narrated what is probably my favorite movie of all time. See pic attachment.

The female actor in this movie also played Anne Strieber in Communion. She was actually married to David Mamet for a couple of decades.

“Oh, you're a bad pony, and I' m not gonna bet on you.”

One of my favorite lines from one of my all-time favorite movies, House of Games (delivered by Joe Mantegna, not by Mr. Ricky Jay—who was perfect in his supporting role as George, the con-man poker player).

“Asked about duplicity, Mr. Jay, argued: ‘You wouldn’t want to live in a world where you couldn’t be conned. Because it would mean you’re living in a world where you never trusted anyone or anything.’”  (from NYT obit, 11/25/18)

R.I.P.  Ricky Jay. 
A very interesting man.

Bush Sr. still carrying on the Thousand Points of Light nonsense today when he commented about the death of Houston Texans owner Bob McNair.

Bob McNair wasn’t just the brightest Point of Light in Houston; he was one of the kindest and most generous people anywhere. Nobody cared — or helped people — more, and that’s just one of the reasons I will always be proud Bob was my good friend. He was simply The Best. My most sincere condolences and family love go to Janice and her wonderful family

I never even heard of the Texans.  I thought Houston still had the Oilers. That tells you how much I follow football. :-[  Anyway, RIP.

Really need to watch the film, The Heart is A Lonely Hunter, from '68 that brought her a lot of accolades.  Of course, I remember her from the Eastwood films.  She was also in a movie that was remade recently with Keanu Reeves as Knock, Knock.  RIP, Miss Locke.

He was the guy who introduced the world to "rods" (and "skyfish") and a guest whose theory was called "real" by Art.

Sadly that was an apparent suicide. Apparently she had a lasic surgery that went wrong and had lots of pain and eye problems, or something.  It doesn't take much to read into this "accidental overdose," in the middle of the afternoon, an "unidentified male" reports it, Hollywood, Days Inn (though he lives in area,) and wife and child somewhere else even though schools are shut down for the Holidays and so likely they would be at home.

Choices. And bad, questionable ones. I feel bad for the wife and, worse, daughter. Jeez, as Norry might say. I hope he had, or the station had, a good policy for him that covers such behavior resulting in death. Or, better yet, contains some "Hollywood rider" that covers it without releasing details to the wife and daughter.

RIP Lyndon LaRouche.


https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/obituaries/lyndon-larouche-dead.html

Amen. :'(

"Mr. LaRouche was at the apex of his power in the mid-1980s, when he moved his headquarters to a large rented estate in Northern Virginia, in Round Hill, outside Leesburg. When neighbors wondered aloud why he had turned the estate into an armed camp, rigged with electronic security and patrolled by men with semiautomatic rifles, Mr. LaRouche went on the attack. He said that the Leesburg Garden Club was “a nest of Soviet fellow travelers.”

Ha! It is a twisted tale and complected relationship. I think, maybe, it comes down to which royalty is the ultimate enemy: Venetian banking dynasties or the Queen? Even though Fritz can explain how they became one in the same via bloodlines and inter-marriages.

Died   February 9, 2019 (aged 86)
Florida, U.S.
Occupation   Radio host, entrepreneur, writer
Years active   1975–2013

Williams was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1999 and has since been listed as the sixth greatest talk show host in radio history by Talkers Magazine.[6] Williams ran an advice show focused on personal business matters such as real estate transactions, career planning, entrepreneurship, and travel until the September 11, 2001 attacks. At that time, the show became a mix of business and politics, and every show ended with the song God Bless America.

Sad.  I often would go back to listen to his final reboot, including his final show in which he explained that the business model for podcasting wasn't working out with supporting his staff.

I listened to him on weekends in the late 80s through the early 90s when I spent a lot of time on the road in the Midwest. 

A plane crash couldn't keep him off the air...  Another great one lost.

In Duane's place, I nominate Don Henley.

There must be a story there. I think that there's a song there too.

Glenn Frey died already.  Him and Don Henley are turds for firing Don Felder. Joe Walsh puts up with it because he's just an employee and likes the money...

The great bass trombonist Phil Teele died. He was first call with the LA local and played on many movie scores - The Godfather, Patton,  the Planet of the Apes movies, Die Hard 1&2, many of the Star Trek movies, Men in Black, Mars Attacks, and many, many more. He also played in jazz big bands and recorded tracks that were more experimental, such as Low and Outside.

Are you referring to the Mandela Romantics and Mandela Rush? I think that both bands were started by Stevie Nicks, who was in Heart, before she joined Fleetwood Mac, a band that evolved into Steely Dan, which was largely comprised of former members of the Doobie Brothers before that group changed its name to the Steve Miller Band, who we now know as Cheap Trick (when they're not touring as Meatloaf), and I'm sure you recall their biggest hit, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", a song covered by Tom Petty in 2018.

They're talking about her on my local morning news. Apparently, she was one of the first, if not the first, restauranteurs to allow dogs in their establishment.

They also showed a picture she released on her 97th birthday, although it was only of her face, she seemed very chipper.

The story is that she got sick soon after her birthday party. How much you want to bet somebody gave a bug to her at the party?  I've had a long-standing rule, if me or my kids are sick, no parties (especially for the old people in our family).

That stage show is actually on YouTube. There's no live video, just the audio portion with some still pics. Stanton was in his glory, talked about one last show in July and one last book to be written. Very poignant stuff. Makes you think about your own mortality.

I really liked Dr. John's album Babylon when it was first released back in 1968. Though I was careful not to show my friends that Sonny and Cher's names were printed on the back of it.  (Actually they didn't appear on the album.  They did give Dr. John their left over studio time though, and that helped him make the album.)

Though I was careful not to show my friends that Sonny and Cher's names were printed on the back of it.  (Actually they didn't appear on the album.  They did give Dr. John their left over studio time though, and that helped him make the album.)

Billy Drago, one of my favorite movie 'bad guys' has died at the age of 73.  Billy starred in a lot of movie and television shows.  I really liked him in the Chuck Norris movie “Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection” as drug lord Ramon Cota.  RIP, Billy.

Beth became a licensed bail bondsman at age 29 (the youngest in Colorado history). This record has since been broken by her step-daughter, Lyssa Chapman, who became a licensed bounty hunter at age 19.

From the Dallas News
 
Rick Perry: Now that Ross Perot is gone, I can tell this story

Rick Perry, Contributor
This week, the nation remembers Ross Perot for his success in business, his two independent White House bids and his no-nonsense, straight Texas talk. His love of country, larger-than-life personality and generosity are all part of his legacy that will live on. But there is another little-known part of the life of Ross Perot that should be told now that he is gone. He was a tireless, but private, supporter of our wounded veterans.
During my time as governor of this great state, I had the honor and privilege of knowing countless warriors who stepped forward to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned home with horrific wounds of war. U.S. Army Cpl. Alan Babin Jr. is one such hero.
While serving in Iraq in 2003 as a medic in the 82nd Airborne, Alan was shot in the abdomen while tending to a fallen comrade. While Alan survived his injury, he faced a long and difficult road to recovery, complicated by the onset of meningitis and a stroke-induced coma that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
On the one-year anniversary of his wounding, I joined Alan and his family for a small gathering. He was still in very bad shape, neurologically and physically incapacitated. When I asked his mother, Rosie,  what I could do to help, she said she was eager to get him out of the hospital and back home, but struggling with the prospect of transporting Alan to his many medical visits.
I knew there was one person to call: Ross Perot. What happened next still amazes me to this day. The next morning, Ross personally called Rosie and made arrangements for his plane to pick up the Babins in Austin and fly them to Dallas where Alan could be seen by leading neurologists at Zale Lipshy University Hospital.
When the hospital elevators opened, Ross was standing there to meet Alan personally and ensure that he got the best of care. Later that day, Rosie was handed a key to a hotel room across the street so she could be close to Alan throughout his extended stay.
It didn't stop there.
When Rosie returned to the family home in Round Rock for her daughter's prom, Ross visited privately with Alan to sit with him and make sure he wasn't alone.

Ross Perot visits wounded veteran Alan Babin. (Rosie Babin)
After three weeks in Dallas, Alan and Rosie returned home to Austin on Ross' plane. When they arrived home, a fully customized luxury conversion van equipped with a wheelchair lift was waiting for them in their driveway.
Later when they spoke, Ross told Rosie two things: "One phone call is all you ever need to make if you need anything. Now, I want you to focus on Alan." And that is exactly what happened.
In 2005, when Alan needed to return to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Ross flew the Babins to Washington, D.C., and arranged for a private ambulance to pick him up on the tarmac and transport him to the hospital.
Today, Alan and his parents live together in a specially adapted smarthome provided by the generosity of another great champion of our wounded warriors, Gary Sinise. Thanks to the support of patriots like Gary and Ross, Alan has progressed in his limited physical ability to become an accomplished adaptive skier, hand cyclist and golfer.
Over the years, Rosie has come to call those who rushed to Alan's aid "Alan's Angels," but the title "Big Angel" is and will forever be reserved for Ross Perot.
While alive, Ross would have shunned any effort to grant him credit for his support of Alan and the untold others he quietly helped through unimaginably challenging times. But now that he is gone, everyone should know the quality of the man that our state, our nation and our wounded veterans have lost.
God bless Ross Perot.
Rick Perry is the former governor of Texas.

What a cousin to have and what an awful affliction to die from.

Reading up on his story, it sounds like he held it together, at least mentally, pretty much until the last couple of weeks. I'm sure his family appreciated that.

Actually a good move for him getting out of Los Angeles. I looked up his neighborhood and, while not in The Lakes region, it's still in a nice community of Summerlin. Great library there, lots of parks, lots of culture.  I see the move was in March, he was still well enough to sing then.

I knew of London, but never knew of him by name.  Sounds like a level dude.  And no...  Nikki Sixx wasn't a skilled musician, just did what it took.  All those MIT pricks were jealous 😁

@Bart Ell, doncha know that Huff is already busy talking with Jeffrey Epstein via his fake ghostbox... claiming Epstein confessed to everything.  Hell would have frozen over twice before Epstein would have confessed, whether while still alive or in spirit. He was just not that kind of sociopathic personality to ever confess for any reason in any way other than to get himself a cheapo easy-out deal.

I don't think you can get lower than Huff, it wouldn't be easy to do.  :P

He did not masturbate to the Sears catalog but he did ejaculate onto the bras his mother bought at Sears.

Jessi was trying to break a speed record in a "jet-powered land-speed car" that she'd previously driven to 483mph...

There's also been confusion about her age. I've seen 36 and 39. 🤷

I know me my Beverly Hills 90210, who is this guy?

I used to take young Japanese ladies on the 90210 tour through Pasadena, by the Spelling house (I had a friend who was a PA to Mr. Spelling and got me access a couple of times to the driveway, not inside the house or even close). We would also go by the beach house...

It is on those tours that I learned that a single meal from Barney's Beanery could feed four 25 year old women from the Land of the Rising Sun.  Bob Newhart used to walk his dog at that park near the Spelling mansion.  I only saw him once oh, that was cool.

Eh, nevermind.

Thanks for posting this, @sean92008. I was very saddened this morning to hear this, she was a real pioneer as an early woman news reporter. She was intelligent, did good research, and was highly respected. In addition she had a very interesting life which she didn't speak about till later on iirc. I will miss her voice and her mood of reason when reporting. +1

I liked DS9. All except the alternate universe episodes. But I feel the same way about Voyager and TNG. The alternate universe and the holodeck episodes were just ways for the writers to be lazy and not have to follow the story arc. I guess that is why I think Enterprise is my favorite.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels it.  Something changed hard at 50.  Up to then, I could relate to young people until I was almost 50.  But now there is a huge generation gap.

And it seems like yesterday I learned a childhood friend was getting her master's in psychology.  She just retired after 25 years working for the prison system.  I didn't even know.  I still think of her as a graduate student.  OMG.

I'm a great-aunt now. 

In my 40s, people didn't notice me because I reminded them of their parents, or who has use for a matron anyway.  But if you think that's bad, 50 is even worse because not only do they have no use for me, but I'm also in their way.  They actually aim to physically push past me, and sometimes there are collisions when walking, even though I look in the direction I'm going so everyone knows which way I'm headed.  But they have no time for analyzing body language.  They just bowl you over.  I hope I never did that when I was young.

I need to move to a retirement community ASAP.  Aging would be so much easier to handle without kids slamming into me.  Maybe I would be one of the young ones.  I hear Scottsdale is nice...

I turn 73 in December, work 3 days a week in the state headquarters for two veterans organizations that help our vets and service connected disabled vets get the benefits they are entitled to and earned by their service, webmaster two sites, am editor and creator of 3 state newsletters/newspapers, travel for the VSOs I work for, and then take care of home and family, plus enjoy our college and pro football teams and make a couple or more fun week long trips to Orlando, Texas, and such.

My list of health problems rival Falkie and I may have to do some things slower, but I’ve never had to worry about younger ones or middle aged folks running me over. And at my age, we’ve earned the right to say what we want and to hell with those who think otherwise.

Why am I relating all of this? Because it all comes down to our attitude about what we want our lives to be and not accepting less. 50’s are a great age to be...embrace the time, utilize it to the fullest. It is all in your hands. To me, 50 year olds are still kids (or anyone under 65)...so, kiddies, you still got a lot of life left to live. Go for it.

Kim Shattuck

It's been 21 months or so since I last talked with Kim.  She agreed that I can't sing.  (I gave her and and a bandmate from Pandoras a demo for a hopeful reunion album, hoping that its Monkees-like vibe would appeal to the Monkees fans in the band.)

I remember her off color comments, comments about stained panties and a flabby ass.  She was a cool girl rocker, she could dish it out and she could take it.  Except when you brought up the Pixies.  She was pretty resilient but I think she got short-changed or treated like shit by them.

ALS took her.  She didn't say shit about it a couple of months after her diagnosis.  Pandoras, Muffs, Pixies.  I was encouraging her to do a Pandoras supergirlgroup reunion. They we're having a lot of fun playing people's backyard parties.

This video is from a short time before her diagnosis. The record was Derrick Anderson's, he was the touring bassist for The Bangles until a couple of years ago.  "The girls" helped him out on his solo record and agreed to do the video for it as well.  Kim is on the far right, in the grey skirt, jumping around, goofing on Pete Townsend a bit.

Goodnight Gidget, cowbellbongos dude.



Fun times...

I loved that video!  Today's singers can't pull that off nowadays.  Between egos, publishing, rights and labels, it just won't happen with such skilled performers.  Hacks, yes, maybe...

I also love the sequins burning the kinescope.  In addition to potentially causing epileptic seizures, I can go X-Files on this and think that some secret braille code is being flashed across the screen...

Oh, and I would be remiss if I don't mention this...  I have impure thoughts seeing Diahann Carroll there... She remained hot into the 2000s.

I don’t think that’s kinescope. It looks more like quad videotape. The early television camera tubes didn’t have a very large contrast range.

In this modern world of auto tune and electronics, why worry about singing ability? Go for tits and ass, which can also be enhanced.

I didn't think of that, maybe because I associate streaks with the burn.  I wonder if the show's costumers thought about that knowing what the on screen effect was....

Louisiana native, author Ernest Gaines died today at age 86. He has been one of my favorite authors all my grown up life. He was actually born on a plantation not far from the town I was born in. I met him in person at a book signing for his novel “A Lesson Before Dying”. He took the time to talk with each of us hometown folks. An amazing man and great loss to the literary world.

Still on the top of consciousness.   I was listening to side two of Abbey Road that night.  From the point that the phone rang, and counting back, I believe that the song You Never Give Me Your Money was playing when John was being shot.

Not really a “celebrity” death, but something worth mentioning because of how much it touched all of us in Louisiana and the Tiger Nation. Earlier before the Peach Bowl game, LSU Defensive Coach Steve Ensminger’s daughter-in-law was among those killed in a small plane crash in Lafayette, LA. They had been on their way to the Peach Bowl. Coach O was the one who broke the news to Coach Ensminger. God bless him for having the strength and courage to stay at his job in coaching our Tigers to a spectacular win tonight. Our thoughts and prayers to him and the family in this sad time.

You say this guy "stayed at his job" to coach a game after learning the wife to his son had just been killed?

But at least this guy has his priorities straight. I mean, had it been the defensive coach who did such a thing the guy would have been an asshole, but he was the offensive coach. Go team.

Seriously, there must be some kind of miscommunication somewhere? I hope and believe. Probably my misunderstaning. Right? Has to be!

David "Boomer" Wells went to the same high school as Don Larsen in Point Loma. Both pitched perfect games for the Yankees. What are the odds?

As a wee lad, my piano teacher told me she gave piano lessons to Don Larsen (that neighborhood was maybe 10 miles away).  Unfortunately, that "connection" didn't make me more interested in playing crappy lesson songs...  She was way old and way out of touch.

But he was a "celebrity"!  The term celebrity is clearly not a measure of ones character. Although - was it ever?
Oh no.  It's not a measure of character in most cases.  I just can't stand the excessive adulation for these people.  I mean...Iron Maiden is my favorite band but if Bruce Dickinson died I would think "Oh damn, that sucks."  That's it.  I just don't understand how people put so much stock in admiration of a celebrity to the point they treat them as saints.

Dude.  I had an employee years ago that tried to call out of work because the singer from Sublime died.  WTF?  I made him come in and all he did was cry about 30 minutes into his shift.  I mean...seriously!!!???

Sublime? I had to Ooogle them!  slightly off topic but still deadly..  months ago when we were finishing up the hotel we were doing one of my employees had his phone and Bluetooth as our musical selection throughout the day. Everything was going good and his musical selection was everything from Iron maiden to The doors whom I love. All the sudden - out of the fucking blue - BAMM!  The theme from FRIENDS COMES ON!!  Monica and Chandler and all that shit!!!  It was in his regular shuffle!!  He does good work and I still have him but I made him delete the song that day under threat of termination.  all the electricians working around us stopped what they were doing as if to wonder who the gay retarded workers might be.  Good!

Kobe was no Roberto Clemente or Joe Delaney and he certainly wasn't near Jackie Robinson.

I wonder if garbage men were called that because they used to hoist the full metal garbage cans into the backs of the garbage trucks?  In all my life, I never once saw a garbage woman hoisting the trash.  Nowadays, of course, the trucks have mechanical grippers that grab and dump the garbage containers.

@sean92008  Bringing up Clemente struck a nerve.  Not because of you.  It's because I was listening to a radio show out of Pittsburgh and they were comparing Kobe to Clemente and not only did it blow my mind, but it made me sick.  Trying to correlate this tragedy with the one that claimed Clemente's life.  Hmmmm....let's see.  Kobe flew in a helicopter because he wanted to get to where he was going faster and claimed his 6' 6" frame was uncomfortable riding in a car.  Bullshit.  Clemente died in an airplane crash delivering supplies to earthquake victims.  Yeah...same thing.   ::)

In fact I have seen several online headlines asking if Kobe Bryant is this generation's Roberto Clemente.  Goddamn I wanna puke.  >:(  I mean...REALLY!!!??

That's truly sickening.  I'd say unbelievable, but it really no longer is.

It appears we are entering the phase of this story where truth doesn't matter, only continuation of the narrative - with the hacks seeing an opportunity to grab attention by either being the most outrageous or most provocative, and the mal-educated to expose themselves.

What makes no sense is that, at least on Twitter, all these liberal people who make liberal posts are praising a guy who settled with a nineteen-year-old over rape "allegations."

He admitted that he "thought" she was consenting even when she said "no" multiple times. No means no only when it fits the MeToo agenda.

I have only heard one sportscaster address the Colorado incident directly. I also heard a sports agent talking about him specifically. He was given advice on how to improve his public image. Community involvement, his sports program, going to church, etc. was all an orchestrated attempt to change public opinion.  He may have turned into the guy he was portraying, but still... Fuck him. Hope he survived while the others died instantly. I hope he burned slowly and polluted the environment more than the others.

There are a lot of reasons I no longer watch sports (ok, I did watch the NFL playoffs this year, recorded them and buzzed thru commercials.  I also watch the Tour De France, although not last year or the year before).

They weren't hiring people based on the quality of their character, their skill sets or their knowledge... I remember somebody on sports radio actually saying that, with their getting in bed with ABC-Disney, that they were the dumping ground for some of the corporate quota stuff.

I wonder, if like me, the cord-cutting was based more on the biased content being shoved down the coaxial lines?  After I cut the cable, I got rather creative in finding illegal ways to download their content too. I rarely watch any illegal content but, on occasion, I have.  I use free apps on my Roku TV to watch almost anything I really want.

In the dorms we had free cable, and it included ESPN.  The early years featured boxers with records like 3-12.
 

Here are some of the ways they ruined sports:

- Too many interviews, TMI regarding these miscreant players.  Before cable they'd interview the star of the game for a few minutes and that was it

- They started playing up stars.  It was no longer the Cetlics or Bulls are coming to town, it was Larry Bird or Michael Jordan is coming to town.  This encouraged more selfish play in what were supposed to be team sports

- Highlight selection.  Home runs, slam dunks, etc.  No slick double plays, assist, blocks, stellar defense etc.  This encouraged more selfish play in what were supposed to be team sports

- Injecting politics.  Massive turn off.  It was bad enough to do that - but to make it even worse, it's the PC and fake news variety.

I loved Australian Rules Football and rugby.  It was sport at non-traditional times, times when I would be vegging out or trying to kill time.  Same thing with Teletubbies, late Saturday wake up time would watch during breakfast prep.

Did ESPN bring anything new to coverage? Fox did with digital overlays and a continuous score, etc...

When she got to the room Kirk gave Natalie a drink and told her he liked "young girls". Then he threw her down on the bed and brutally raped her. The attack lasted for several hours. When it was over he told her "If you tell anyone it will be the last thing you do.". The rape was so violent that Natalie started bleeding and had to go the hospital. Her mother discouraged her from filing a complaint because she worried it would hurt her movie career. At the time Kirk Douglas was one of the most powerful stars in Hollywood. He later admitted that he had been a womanizer and an alcoholic but he's never confessed to rape. Natalie was traumatized by the assault and spent years in therapy. Friends said she would "shudder" every time she heard Douglas's name.

https://abc7.com/5912587

On February 7, 2020, while walking near Venice Boulevard and Shell Avenue, in Venice, Los Angeles, Bean was struck by two drivers, with the second vehicle striking him fatally. "The car coming westbound did not see him and clipped him and he went down," said Los Angeles Police Department Captain Brian Wendling. "A second vehicle was coming up, was distracted by people trying to slow him down and then looked up and then a second traffic collision occurred and that one was fatal."

Hit by 2 cars

The second car that hit him was the fatal one. Apparently, and I believe this, the driver was distracted by all sorts of people trying to stop him so he wouldn't hit the old guy... So, instead of looking forward as if he were driving normally he was looking to his sides where everybody was jumping up and down.

On the topic of unintended consequences...

During the shootout situation at that mosque in New Zealand or Australia, as soon as the gunman went to a different room to start shooting other people, everybody started moaning and groaning which only prompted him to return and shoot them more. I saw an interview where a young guy at that mall in Thailand is recounting he told everybody in the store to be quiet so as not to attract the gunman.  Smart dude, he's got a future.

I had to put my dog, Ginger, down today.  I'm sad and heartbroken but also relieved as it had been a long and steady decline over the last year.  She had reached the point where she could no longer walk and had been crying a lot over the last few days.   She wasn't a celebrity but she meant a lot to me and so I'm commenting on her death here.  She was 16.  I'll see you on the other side, girl. Have fun running in the valleys on the other side of the Rainbow bridge.  I'll meet you there in 30 or 40 years.

One of the guys that testified to Congress recently had his wife die on the freeway in Southern California.  He was testifying either to corruption or the Constitution. basically, you was testifying about the problems with the deep state.

Basically, if you are conservative, speak the truth about the left or have damning evidence against Democrats, your life is at risk. Seth Rich is a prime example...

RIP, Kenny.  Loved the stuff he did with the First Edition and also liked some of his later hits like Gambler. Lucille and Coward of the County.  I felt he sold out when he started singing those syrupy Lionel Ritchie love songs.  Another mistake he made was the terrible plastic surgery he had. It made him look like a freak.  God bless him.

Born Sep. 23, 1938 in Jackson, Miss., Lester grew up working on his grandfather’s farm. He earned a degree in chemistry at the University of Mississippi and taught in Oklahoma for a few years before making the move to Hollywood. Lester landed his role in “Green Acres” in 1965, beating out the competition because he was the only actor who could actually milk a cow.

Speaking of OANN...

their studios are really close to the very first Price Club which inspired all of the rage of membership stores, ultimately led to Costco being established and ultimately buying them out.

There's a guy on oann named Graham Ledger. The dude is a complete sleaze. He was married to an old friend/classmate of mine and, how do I say this colorfully...  He let his dick do his thinking way too much.

Namely, he pursued an owner of one of those house-based live-in care facilities...  She was a complete sleaze and fraud. Graham loved her tits...

He also had an organization called 858 Tea Party. he used the name but he was not officially affiliated with the the actual Tea Party movement.  I'm sure he was raising funds on the up-and-up 🙄🙄🙄.

So, to sum it up I don't watch that network.  Ledger's behavior is not some hidden secret thing.  Photos on the interwebs existed.

North Korea Reports Kim Jong Un Is 'Most Alive Person In Universe'

PYONGYANG—The Democratic People's Republic of Korea reported today that Kim Jong Un is not dead and in fact is "the most alive person in the universe."

"American fake news says Supreme Leader is dead, but we found that he was more alive than anyone ever in history," said a spokesperson. "If he lies in still vegetative state, it is only because he is stuffed so full of life like a big meal and needs time to properly digest all that life. So much life. Such great life."

According to the official statement released by the Korean Central News Agency, the dictator is not dead but is more alive than life itself.  "Think of the most alive thing ever: a rambunctious toddler, a blooming flower, an angry bear. Pulsing, teeming with life: that is the very essence of our Supreme Leader."

"Doctors were amazed at how alive he is. Most alive person ever," the spokesperson said. He went on to say that Kim Jong Un ran a fifty-mile marathon this morning in under twelve seconds just because he had so much life in him he needed to burn off. "And after that, our great and glorious leader flapped his wings and flew to the sun, bringing down sunbeams from the heavens that our people might have the gift of fire."

"All hail the glorious and most definitely living Kim Jong Un!"

Hamilton Bohannon - 78

He played the drums for Stevie Wonder in 1964, and that gig led him to getting hired as a bandleader by Motown Records. His group Bohannon & The Motown Sound toured with several stars, including Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops.

Sorry to see that Florian has passed.  He was pretty much the head honcho of the band.  I remember being in a Hollywood music store back in 1970 and seeing an album cover of some Nazi looking guys with bright red lipstick on.  Quite eye catching but I wouldn't actually hear their music for another three or four years, when Autobahn was released.  RIP, Florian.

Lots of the people we grew up with are crossing over.  Happens to every generation, I suppose.  Plus there are many celebs who die that you may have never heard of.  I don't know a lot of modern day actors and musicians.  There are lots more people in the world now, and probably more celebs, so perhaps more of them are dying?  I wonder.

(They were already on their way out of business, they closed their Encinitas ($$$$ zip code) location even though the place was full every day of the week. Bad business management.)

If I'm not mistaken, the very first one had opened near the San Diego Sports Arena/Sea World.  Even as a teenager, me and my friends would drive down there and eat the place under.

Hamp went on to work in radio and made Richard’s first recordings at WBML radio. Now Hamp’s in the radio hall of fame and Richard’s in the music ones.
Back in the 80s Richard was living in a hotel in Los Angeles. You’d call him and he would answer in a high-pitched voice, and you’d have to act like you thought it was the maid in asking to speak to Mr. Penniman.

Excuse my ramblings. Just a few rememberances. He was an amazing guy.

Yeah, it could be a life changer...  Turns out Mary Kay Latourneau (sp?), at 11 years old, was in a pool where her 3-year old brother drowned.  Many people through the years thought that she had stunted maturity.  At 4, well that's not likely but there may be some underlying guilt later on.

I'm reminded of a UK singer who was with family swimming when a speeding boat hit her.  A straight drowning isn't typical, so injuries/medical conditions must be involved or it was suicide.

She probably dove in to take a piss and then something went wrong. She could have hit her head or maybe the water was colder than she expected and she gasped taking in water instead of air.  I doubt a mother would leave her child in a boat to commit suicide.

It's reported that there is only about 3-9 inches of visibility under the water. Also that the bottom is covered in debris and trees. It's possible she got caught on something...
Either way, right now they are treating it as a possible drowning instead of a missing person.

I hated the Big Red Machine.

But I sure liked a lot of the guys on the team - Bench, Perez, Morgan...and then Tom Seaver.  He put his whole body into his pitches, his right knee would end up with dirt stain, it often scrapped the ground when he threw

I made it a point to never miss Toots and the Maytals when they came around.  Great band, great show, this old dude had more energy than just about anyone.  Always, always a fun, upbeat show.

Last time I saw him was a few years ago at the UC Theatre in Berkeley (not affiliated with UC Berkley [Cal]), a fairly recently remodeled former old time movie theater, and a terrific venue.  He hadn't been touring for awhile because some ass-wipe in the crowd had beaned him with a bottle at a show somewhere.

Robert Gore died.

That's all, he must not have been exciting or noteworthy otherwise.

Falkie Enhancement Alert

He had me over to his villa, hired a bunch of whores to service me and we coated roses in Gore-Tex and they would not wither!  I asked him many questions that confounded him.

I heard Pete Rose tell of the time he first encountered Bob Gibson.  Pete's rookie year, so I think 1963, he's playing 2b.  Gibson comes up and promptly doubles.

Pete Rose is excited to meet Bob Gibson, runs over to second base and says ''whatjuh hit, Gibby?''.  Gibson ignores him and takes his lead.  Again Pete says ''hey Gibby, what was it?''.  Gibson again ignores him.  After the inning was over Pete asks of one the veterans, and they tell him Gibson doesn't talk to the opposition during the game.

Next day Pete's taking his swings during BP and Bob Gibson walks by.  ''It was a slider, rook'.

One of my earliest baseball memories, some grownup gave me their copy of Sport Magazine when they were finished with it.  One of the articles was an interview with Bob Gibson.

The only part I remember was him being torked off because some sportswriter had made up a godawful quote and attributed it to him.  Asked about his pitching style the quote was ''ah jus' rear back an' humm dat pea''.  Haha, no wonder these guys hate sportswriters.  As if he was some dumb hick from the rural south, which he most surely was not.

Did they?  I'm surprised to hear that.  Isn't touring bad enough when everyone gets along?  One of those deals where everyone takes a separate private jet, and they meet up on stage on show nights?

Sammy has a home around here, and is a pretty friendly guy, at least his public persona, so years ago I heard him on the local rock station a few times.  One of the DJs asked him something about what kind of wine he'd have on hand if David Lee stopped by.  He said  Dave has no class, and wouldn't know the difference, so whatever was cheapest...

That arm flap while at the plate was so memorable. Good analyst on TV as well. I even have a player on my baseball video game that does the arm flap too, a definite homage to him...

The news said he died of neuropathy.  My doctor is euphemised my condition with the neuropathy word as well.  Although, that's not what's supposed to kill me 😲

Ahhh, Freddy Lynn, fellow Carlsbad-area resident (and an occasional bump-into at Costco), playing center field if I recall correctly.

I remember Joe Garagiola explaining why he did the arm flap. It was because he wanted to make sure that he had proper height on his back elbow so that he would keep his swing more level.

It is amazing this stupid things you remember from your childhood as you hit the fifties.  Argh.

Yes, early on he'd developed a bad habit when batting of not extending his elbow, keeping it too close to his body.

Joe Morgan was arguably the best second baseman in baseball history.  The only other person who comes to mind is Rogers Hornsby, who played 100 years ago.  Range in the field, power at the plate, smart and tough.

I don't really like broadcasters - I mostly tune them out.  There are a handful that I've appreciated over the years - Cosell and Madden come to mind, Al Michaels is ok.  My personal favorite baseball broadcast analyst was Joe Morgan, a real student of the game.  I've heard people complain about him, I guess they can have the Joe Bucks of the world.

I moved to Northern California in the Fall 1982, and just days after I arrived came my personal favorite Joe Morgan moment. 

39 year old Joe Morgan finishing his career in San Francisco, hitting the game winning home run on the last day of the season to knock the LA Dodgers out of the pennant race - an instant Giants legend.

I usually find little fault with the Chargers during the Gene Klein ownership era.

When the Chargers traded Fred Dean to the 49ers, got sealed the deal for the Chargers and the 49ers. The Chargers incredible offense was no match to its horrible defense.

Gary "Big Hands" Johnson from that famous era also went to the 49ers, if I recall correctly.

They should have gone under probably six or seven years ago. Their bean counters made it impossible to do business with them. Somehow they had an algorithm that if something that they paid $200 for had an imaginary book value of $500, they would be losing $100 if I paid $400 for it. Happened time and again, since I wasn't interested in paying full book value, those used instruments would sit for months and months. I would find something else through a private party sale and then, eight months later, they would drop the price to $400.

In a way, they deserve to go out of business.  Tons of people will be unemployed though. Got to admit, some of them will have a tough time finding new jobs.

I always ended up saying "Horn-ug." I remember seeing it misspelled; I never got over it.

Same thing with the word vomit. There was a book in my youth that showed nature stuff and one picture was of a fly and its "votom" drop.  It's that weird stuff that sticks in the head...

Yes, Diego was 60 and I'm kind of surprised that he made it that long.  He loved food, drink and cocaine, not necessarily in that order.  Still, as so often happens, he was showing improvement in his overall health when he suffered a final, fatal heart attack.  I loved him, and I'm surely going to miss him.

He also told the story that his wife was complaining about a tree growing in their yard.  He went out and bought her a chainsaw.

I was shooting baskets at a local school two summers ago and a fifteen year old kid challenged me to a game of horse.  It was a pretty close game, all in all but I pulled off a win at the very end.  Kind of freaked him out half way through the game, though.  I dribbled up about five feet from the left of the basket and made my shot.  Next thing I knew I was flat on my back, looking up at the guy's worried face.  No biggie, I dusted myself off and continued on with the game.

No kidding.  I recall staying up to till midnight to watch a local station giving a live feed of Robert's victory speech, which was nice because all of my three television channels usually went off the air at 11:00 PM.  Robert said "On to Chicago and let's win there!" then he walked away from the mic.  I turned the tv off right then and went upstairs to bed, just seconds before he was taken down.

Although he was diagnosed and hospitalized with covid-19 recently, his cause of death has not been announced! All praise our glorious leader, Beijing Biden!!!

That might be the next show I try to binge. I don't remember it being as well written as Barney Miller, but I did love Red Foxx's brand of humor.

I always think of the Jerry Seinfeld interview when I think of Larry King.  That was classic! Almost George Noory-like; totally clueless and making presumptions.

I've also been thinking about Gregory Sierra more. Thing is with him, he walked away from the ground floor of a classic television show to be the star of another show that failed to get off the ground. Bad career move.

It was one of my favorite moments of television ever. I was happy I caught it live, it had me giggling the entire night.

I know you are not alone in thinking Larry was clueless and I also so alot of people who thought Jerry was a jerk there. I just didn't see that.

King knew Seinfeld wasn't cancelled, he even said "You gave it up, they didn't  cancel you, you cancelled them" it was a leading question for Jerry to answer why he stopped doing the show. As for Jerry, it seemed like an opportunity to be funny and go to a schtick. I never thought he took it seriously as was having a laugh on King's expense, but looking online I in the minority that a lot of people took it more seriously. I thought it was just a great funny moment.

Was there a Neve at Caribou Studios?  That place had a fire, maybe the board didn't survive.

Vintage King Restores Caribou Ranch Neve 8016

Detroit, MI (June 3, 2009)--Vintage King Audio recently completed a full restoration on the Neve 8016 console that was once part of the legendary Caribou Ranch recording studio. After a four-month refurbishment, the console was sold and delivered to Prime Studio in Austria for its control room B, an all-analog suite that officially opened June 1.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
Why the early bird gets the worm;
Life isn't always fair;
And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepchildren;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

I listened to Rush from the time he first started and we listeners were called “Dittoheads”. I alternated between liking him a lot, being pissed at him, and liking him again to the very end. Despite how I felt about him (he could be extremely pompous at times), one thing was consistent...he made me really think about what was happening. It’s kinda ironic that while we were affectionally called “Dittoheads”, the ones who now truly embody that term are the liberals who repeat the crap the DEMS are spouting as if they were a bunch of parrots shouting “Ditto! Ditto!”

I used to love CBA as a kid. The lasagna was my favorite.  I know for a fact that locally a single can cost between 3.25 - 3.99  depending on where you buy of course.  I know this because there are two cans in the pantry with my sardines, chili, and protein powder.  As shown to you before those prices are in the NWT where food has to be flown in.  They mostly survive on government subsidies. Cozzz they be the Eskimo.

I have fond memories of the chef. Years ago we'd drive up to Harriman State Park with a couple cans of the ravioli. We'd build a campfire and snack on them cooked over the fire. Course we had adult beverages as well.  ;D

How the hell did a Celebrity Death thread turn into Chef Boyardee?  Then again, the ICE Hockey thread turned into cannibalism.  Meh, we're all screwed up.  ;)  ;D

BTW, I would only eat Chef Boyardee if I was starving, or drunk as hell and just had to eat something.  And why is it so expensive in the great white north?  15 oz. cans are a dollar here.  All varieties too.

Do an image search on "Expensive Canadian Food"  Just a little joke that came up after Bart was discussing his trips across the border to get cheap chicken. I think most of the pix that come up are from up Hudson Bay way, NWT, etc.

So not a Chef Boyardee guy? What about this stuff:

The show they aired the day of his death was a big fucking train wreck. They had a year to prepare for it and they had so many production problems, it was really bad. Rush would have been embarrassed.

I posted here before that during his last show, he said straight up that he was having a difficult time breathing. The producers could have started doing something right then and there. Yet, still, they were not ready.

It got to the point that show was unlistenable for me.

Fry’s Electronics

They've been on life support for a long time. You know who really loses with that? All of the companies who put their inventory in their stores on consignment, which I hear is pretty much everybody who has anything in that store.

It just dawned on me... With all those things for sale on consignment, Fry's electronics does not need to have a big clearance sale. Although the people that did put product in those stores will now have to collect it.  Not everything in the store is on consignment, some of the inventory is left over from when they used to buy it from their vendors. That's why the store is would have the occasional TV antenna or hard drive.

I think the guy's name is Robert Fry, he makes his real money on real estate.  the only people hurt by his mismanagement are his employees.

After reading more about Hagler last night, I bet that was the fight where everybody was groaning after the decision. I read that it was a very controversial and I remember it being controversial at the moment it happened; not just looking back in history.

Sounds like he was a genuine nice guy, not full of himself. Shame he went so young.

How do these people get their titles:  the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Dork and Duchess of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge?

The titles of the other ''noble families'' are inherited, but why are the royal family given seemingly arbitrary titles?  Has Charles ever even been to Wales, for example?  When was the last time Phil even went to Edinburgh?  So they specifically represent those places?

I feel bad for his parent(s)/family. To lose such a young and brilliant son. It is ground beyond hard to hoe.

Meanwhile, there's a metric shit ton of godless cocksuckers out there within WiFi range of any com cluster who deserve to croak ten times over, but continue to thrive and hive.

This guy is likely too young to have been the hacker Bell had on as a guest a couple times on C2C and MitD.  He went by his screen name, but it didn't take much coaxing for him to give his real name.  What I remember most about his first appearance was other hackers calling in and taunting him, bragging about they were better hackers than he was.  It was a nerd fest.  Anyone remember that guy's name?

My first phone phreak attempt at reality hacking the universe , etc. :

I was 10 or 11 years old and obtained a short string of numbers/characters to dial that would ping back the phone line.

You would dial, hang up the receiver, and the phone would automatically ring.

Oh shit!  I remember that.  I would do that when my sisters had a new boyfriend.  I would ping back and they would come running. And I would laugh my ass off.

A friend of The Bart was dating her at the same time as OJ.
He told me about a time at her apartment building where he walked by OJ at the front door as he was leaving and OJ was arriving.
That was his brush with death.

Tawny Kitaen & Frank Zappa went to the same high school.  Kris Kardashian went to high school not too far away from there. Jim Morrison would have gone to Kris Kardashian's high school. Ratt, Bob Taylor (Taylor Guitars), Greg Deering (Deering Banjos), Major Garrett, Tucker Carlson was a little north of there, Mark Hamill would have gone to high school in the area except he moved. I'm forgetting a lot of people, but it was a happening area.

On the evening of 16 August 1997, I was sitting in the St. Louis airport waiting for a connecting flight.  The PA system announced the arrival of a flight from Memphis at the gate just across from me.  With a few exceptions, everyone coming off that flight was either made up to look like Elvis, dressed like Elvis, or wore Elvis tshirts.  The best of the lot was a 250+ pound butch women in her 60s with perfect Elvis hair/sideburns, wraparound sunglasses, and wearing a circus tent size sequined jumpsuit.  As she got off the plane she was met by two equally large butch women who each presented her with a single red rose.  They all embraced and proceeded to sob loudly. I was deeply moved.

At least OJ didn't get to be OJ anymore.  No more commercials, no more announcing football games, no more movies.  Harassed by lawsuits, not allowed to earn money or keep his sports memorabilia.  Constant screwing up, a pariah.  Almost punishment enough.

William Smith, actor,  dead at 88. No cause given.  As a child, he appeared in films such as Ghost of Frankenstein, Song Of Bernadette, and Meet Me In St. Louis.  Brawny as an adult, he was known for his brawls in such films with Rod Taylor in Darker Than Amber and with Clint Eastwood in Any Which Way You Can.   He also appeared in such cult films as Invasion of The Bee Girls, Atlantis, The Lost Continent, and Grave of The Vampire as well as such tv fare as Laredo, Hawaii Five-O and Rich Man, Poor Man. He was also a poet.

“You’ve done some bad and you’ve done some good
You wouldn’t change things even if you could
‘Cause through the years you’ve run a good race
The Reaper chased and couldn’t keep your pace
So toast those that live and those that die
And while you can, spit in the Reaper’s eye.”

RIP, Bill.

Joe Namath's acting? Uhmmm. No. He might as well have winked at the camera 777 times.

Anne Margret? Uninspired, but very very pretty. Hot as Stromboli lava.

William Smith as Moon? Fucking menacing. His character a chaotic force of nature to the degree it was almost "man vs. nature," instead of "man vs. man."

Heh

Did you see that there is going to be a continuation of the series?  Not sure how I feel about that.  John Larroquette is on board as the only returning cast member, reprising his role as Dan Fielding.  The premise is that the new Judge is the daughter of Judge Harry Stone.  She will be played by Melissa Rauch (the short blonde from The Big Bang Theory).

I never figured out why anyone considered this gentleman to be an authority on UFOs.  He freely admitted he saw absolutely nothing about UFOs during his time as Canadian Defense Minister, and everything he knew came from reading Corso's delusional "Day After Roswell."  The last time I heard him on the radio was with Ian Punnett.  Unlike the Knapps of the world who throw guys like Hellyer softballs and cover for them, Ian challenged him early, then backed off and left him some dignity.

I must be some kind of neanderfuck for not being aware of that.

Ironically, there was an Italian aero engineer who worked on a number of secret German projects in WWII who wrote a book in 1970 where he claimed "flying saucers" were based in the forests of British Columbia. He said the UFOs were British (captured German) craft being flown by the RAF over the US to thumb its nose at the Americans. Seems the Brits wanted the US to share the secrets of the atomic bomb with them, but the US claimed the UK nothing to trade. Turns out they did, the secret saucer craft the Brits found while the US and Russians were busy looking for rocket technology. Like many books on such topics, there was a degree of historical accuracy about German WWII aeronautical research and development.

Did you see that there is going to be a continuation of the series?  Not sure how I feel about that.  John Larroquette is on board as the only returning cast member, reprising his role as Dan Fielding.  The premise is that the new Judge is the daughter of Judge Harry Stone.  She will be played by Melissa Rauch (the short blonde from The Big Bang Theory).

Yeah I don't know, I always wish for a TV Movie (or even a real movie) follow up but Harry and John L. got new shows really quickly. They did do a 30 Rock episode which was nice but they only got Harry, Christine and Mac (very strange that they were the three who left us first) As for the new show, it just doesn't feel right with 2 out of the 3 main actors not being with us.

BTW how is no streaming service have Night Court!

NC was on a subnetwork like MeTV or something. I watched it maybe 6-7 years ago, or so.

I just saw her on St Elsewhere... 

You know, it's odd how many actors die in their late 50s and 60s but they look so much older (i.e. the prosecutor from Perry Mason, Ed Flanders from St Elsewhere...)  I don't think it's makeup either. Betty White, on the other hand, didn't really start to seriously jump in age until she was in her '80s.

She was a looker in her youth.

Doug Mossman died in May of this year. I think Harrington might have been the last somewhat regular actor on the original to be alive:

I think that's the lady, on that thumbnail, who said it was a really long day for her. They did the exterior shots and she was also the dancer in the club as part of the opening sequence.

That was a great show and one great if you sit down and watch it with a Google search for every business shown in the background. It's amazing that some of those mom and pop shops are still in business. I wonder if it's on Roku or Hulu or something.

I'm watching Hill Street Blues now, by the third or fourth episode, they were rolling.

Probably have to wait for a scene featuring a doctor's office or office of the governor. Or an indigenous business. Which would be even cooler - since it would not be a prop typewriter but in actual use in Hawaii at the time.

I'd forgotten about Wo Fat.  The actor who played him was not Chinese, I think his parents were of Portugese and Egyptian/Sudanese descent.  I remember TV Guide did an article on him back in the 70s, he remarked how funny it was he was playing a Chinese character.  Doubt that interview would have gone over well today.

I was a kid when I first came across Hawaii Five-0.  And immediatly had a thing for the girl on the beach half way into the intro.

"Elizabeth Logue was born in 1941 as Elizabeth Louise Malamalamaokalani White. She is an actress, known for Hawaii (1966) and Nude Odyssey (1961).  University of Hawaii's Miss Air Force ROTC in 1959. Well-known as the girl running down the beach and seen facing the camera in the title sequence of Hawaii Five-O (1968)."

I'd like to see the whole thing but all I ever found was the first few minutes where Danno is now the Gov. & gets plugged by a guy in a `Cuda who nails him from long range with a pistol.  ::)

Crap theme music, sounds like a drum machine...

That reminds me of the desire to redo Dragnet. Jack Webb was involved and was going to star in it until he died. Dan Aykroyd was going to co-star with him.

If Gary Busey could play a calm and straight person, I think he could have worked.

Had never heard Aykroyd was going to work with Webb in a Dragnet remake.  Did the Dragnet movie Aykroyd made with Tom Hanks come out of those plans?  Although that movie got panned, I really liked it.  Aykroyd had Webb's voice inflections and body language down almost perfectly.  The scene where he and Hanks showed Captain Gannon the Pagan goat dance still cracks me up.  The look on Harry Morgan's face is priceless.

I just Wikipedia'd it and saw a reference to Kent McCord from Adam 12 being considered Jack Webb's partner. Maybe the Aykroyd thing was as a production company arrangement, but not him starring in it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragnet_(franchise)

Useless trivia: I came across Martin Milner (1A12's Pete Malloy) a few times throughout my life. He lived in the area.

Maybe two years before he died, I had gotten in touch with his family because my kids watched Adam-12 and I thought it would be nice to take them over to meet him after school one day... Turns out he was already in his decline. They were selling off a lot of his belongings, his house, souvenirs from his acting days too. I think Milner's extended family was pretty greedy and creepy.

Marty is buried in the same cemetery as NFL star Junior Seau.

Publisher NecroDave/Dave Barnett was killed earlier this year in a car accident.

But his company seemed to keep going, website-wise, allowing book orders. I was checking every so often. But today when I checked, Necro Publications and Bedlam and its imprints are officially shuttered.

It is perhaps the end of a particular type of small press era that gave many horror writers their first exposure in the late 90s.

Most have never heard of Dave or his publishing projects, but he was a consistent force in small press circles and well-known in the horror genre.

Back on BG, Bateman frequently mentioned a name (Bailey something or other) in his posts.  One day I decided to Google to see who it was... it was an image I could never unsee.  I was just glad Mrs Duke wasn't there next to me, it would have been difficult to explain why I looking at a "chick with a dick" photo.

I remember.

Holy shit.  Then bateman got his beat down on the city street.  Was the beater a he/she?  Is that why bateman couldn't give a description?  It was somebody he knew?  Now I don't really care that bateman takes it up the ass fm he/shes, but after all the concern that was expressed for bateman, a little truth, even at this late date, would mean a lot to the gang here. 
Does your (real female) other care that you bate's are taking it up the ass?   Asking for a friend.

When he and Tom Hanks did "Bosum Buddies," I thought Scolari was the more talented of the two. And agreed, he was a hoot on Newhart.  I didn't think Newhart was very funny the first season, but after retooling it in season two the show hit its stride.  Larry, Daryl, and Daryl were hilarious.  The funniest bit they did was Larry telling Newhart the blonde Daryl was going to Kansas City because he heard "they had some crazy little women and wanted to get him one."

I watched the last few minutes of the final Newhart episode and it wasn't recognizable to me.

I loved both Tippi and Suzanne.

(When I wasn't too focused on waiting for the birds to attack.)

There are few films that make me want to move to the shooting location, buy a vintage outboard motorboat, ferry people back and forth across the bay, and keep an "eye out" for beautiful women and deadly birds. All while fishing for that night's dinner.

Definitely a strong and positive imprint movie for me.

I hear you, Cam.  Also one of my favorite movies and I'll watch it every once in awhile.  I have always wanted to visit The Tides Restaurant there in Bodega Bay.  That's where a lot of the townsfolk gathered after one of the major bird attacks in the movie.  I watched one of those movie location videos on YouTube and sadly, the original restaurant burned down but it was rebuilt and they even have some artifacts and photos on display there.  So perhaps I'll stop by someday and have a fish platter or something, haha.  I guess that the most recognizable building from the movie is the original school house.  It's a private home now, so it can only be viewed from the street that runs by it.

Many scenes from that movie were actually shot in the town of Bodega, several miles inland from the town of Bodega Bay - including the schoolhouse.

And some street scenes in San Francisco proper.  In fact there is the opening scene where Tippi is crossing a crosswalk and some of the buildings are still recognizable to this day.  She crosses the street and steps onto a sidewalk, turning left towards a pet store.  As soon as she turned left, the rest of the scene was filmed at a Burbank studio.  When Tippi enters the pet store, Director Hitchcock can be seen exiting the store with two small dogs on leashes.

What an insufferable fanboy I would be.

"I remember this exact spot!" Cam said, standing on a sidewalk crack, flapping his arms like ... like a bird.

"It was near here that an entire canister of filmed  footage was misplaced in the usually unrented apartment above the drugstore. The apartment was previously used by the lighting crew for recalibration drinking parties!  The film wasn't discovered until a year AFTER The Birds was released! The sheer gravitas of this bypassed undeveloped coiled celluloid zeitgeist belied Hitchcock's psychological tri-pronged  approach to avian colonization as rogue government! I'm so hungry!"

(Flaps twice more)


It is excruciatingly clear: RG is the superior mature choice and voice for reconnaissance of all things Bodega Bay.

(flap flap flap)

"Flap on a crack, break Norman's Mother's back!" Cam crows. "Hitchcock said that! Right here!"

Unfrickin believable. A grown ass man / bird / Cam.

I just wanted to mention that if anyone goes up there and wants to see some of the buildings that were featured, look in the nearby town of the same name for certain scenes as well, not just along the bay and assume they're gone.

That's right.  It should also be mentioned that nearly all of the scenes for The Birds were shot in totally unrelated areas.  For instance, when the school kids get attacked by the birds, they run down a street into town, but the street was actually filmed on the other side of town.  (Also when you watch those kids it's rather easy to surmise that they were running on treadmills in front of a filmed backdrop.)  Hitchcock made a habit of including himself in lots of his movies but I don't know when he started doing it.  In the movie Frenzy, I recall seeing him standing with a crowd of people on a dock, looking down at the nude body of a woman that was floating in water.  Here is a very good video that explains a number of filmed locations for the movie The Birds.

Ms Cameron also starred as the female lead in my all-time favorite episode of Columbo, "Negative Reaction." She played the assistant to a high dollar photographer/murderer (Dick Van Dyke.)

The two funniest scenes I ever saw in Columbo both came from this episode.

It was a weird show - Ark II.   Take a old fuselage - clean it up and put wheels on it and then rock around in it doing good, with a beardo, an asian chick and hispanic kid and an ape.  Gotta have an ape.

Bobby Whitlock has some interesting stories about him.

I may be a bit confused about one story, but I believe a shirt that Eric Clapton had given him was being worn at the time of the accident. Whether it was or not, apparently somebody close to him took the shirt, cut it up and sold it piece by piece.

I think I also heard that if he wore a helmet, he would have easily survived the wreck. Conflation certainly possible, I'll admit that.

The judge didn't allow his past domestic violence history against women to be used at his murder trial. After killing Dominique Dunne, he served about 2.5 years because the jury didn't know this animal made it common practice to abuse women.

He was promoted as a Vietnam hero, but he told me himself about the grenade explosion that took an arm and both legs.  He was on a helicopter beer run.  Hopped out of the chopper door to the ground and a grenade snagged on something and went off.

Beyond that, he was a decent guy who tried to help vets.

Does anyone remember this 1971 Dean Stockwell CBS TV movie but me? None of my peers do.

And THEY claim to be hackers.

I acutely remember being sorely disappointed that there wasn't an actual Paper Man Monster, despite the teasers showing a mummy-like being  dragging its spindled and mutilated feet down the hall. 

Maybe I'm imagining that. As Warren Zevon would say, I was an excitable young boy.

( Paper Man may have even motivated certain embryonic hackers to grow toward the Black Hat light. Take that, Mr. RobotAmateurs. )

During a hardcore nonstop stupid mindless manual labor in early 80s,  me and this guy named Sikorsky spoke of a MONKEES resurgence. Sikorsky was a big guy. Large voice.

Unloading semi tractor trailers using TWO WHEELERS / dollies - because the fucked up company "didn't do pallet jacks" - we were always talking to pass the time...

Suddenly, Sikorsky might roar, echoing in a near empty trailer:

https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-business-peter-tork-michael-nesmith-micky-dolenz-295ad7ec7fe69bbec9eaf0796b1232a0

Robert Michael Nesmith was born Dec. 30, 1942, in Houston, Texas, the only child of Warren and Bette Nesmith.

His parents divorced when he was 4 and his mother often worked two jobs, as a secretary and painter, to support her son and herself. It was that latter job that inspired her to whip up a typewriter correction fluid called Liquid Paper in her kitchen blender. By the mid-1970s it had made her a fortune, which she eventually left to her son and to nonprofit foundations she endowed to promote women in business and the arts.

Holy fucking cow! John Madden has died at 85 years old.

That's a tough one.  There aren't many good sports broadcasters, and fewer great ones.  He revolutionized the analyst role.

His on the field personality was this wild-eyed, crazed coach - pacing the sidelines, screaming, waving his arms, throwing his clipboard, wreaking havoc, leader of the outlaw Oakland Raiders.  Then when he left coaching his conversion into a lovable teddy bear of a football analyst was instantaneous.  People were shocked at the abrupt change.  I was shocked.  ''Is this the same John Madden''?  He was your buddy sitting on the couch, entertainingly explaining the nuances of the game (''boom'', ''bam'').  He drew in so many new fans.

Turducken for Thanksgiving and Christmas, afraid to fly so he'd take cross country trips in his tricked out bus during the week to get to the next game - his weekly broadcasts were pretty much must see TV.

There were tons of the Lite Beer from Miller commercials, with sports figures arguing whether it ''tastes great'' or it's ''less filling''.  I think he was in one of the earliest ones.

Great post.  I was never a big fan of Madden's as an analyst (loved Hank Stram), but he was a hoot. 

A sorority sister of my daughter's worked as a waitress in "the" upscale steakhouse in Cincinnati back in the 90s.  She had some great stories about celebrities she waited on, but her encounter with Madden was disappointing.  She said he was quiet, but polite, and did nothing to call attention to himself.  The upper crust clientele who frequented the place didn't get gaga over celebrities, so no one approached him.  He read a newspaper, ate his meal, and left.

Beloved actress, comedian and American icon Betty White has died, just weeks before a milestone birthday ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Betty passed away at her home Friday morning.

A trailblazer and pioneer in media, Betty had the longest running career for any woman in TV prior to her death -- starring in multiple shows over the past 8 decades, starting way back in 1939.

There has been an update in the Tyger Booty (https://ellgab.com/index.php?topic=4.msg376335#msg376335) case.  As you may recall, Ms. Booty flew alone to Ghana to provide "services" to a shadowy billionaire but turned up mysteriously dead in a hotel room.  A guy known as Big Slim plus four accomplices have been arrested but are out on bail. Apparently Big Slim paid for Ms. Booty's autopsy and hotel bill so the bail request was granted.

Ms. Booty's family smells a rat (https://usdaynews.com/celebrities/celebrity-death/tyger-booty-death-cause/) but it would seem that their options are limited. You hate to see it - while she certainly wasn't going to be playing at Carnegie Hall, she did have talent in her own way (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fb/c0/03/fbc0031d27865ccaa87419fde20d3342.gif).

“Meat Loaf was so little known at first that he began his “Bat Out of Hell” tour in Chicago as the opening act for Cheap Track, then one of the world’s hottest groups.
“I remember pulling up at the theater and it says, ‘TONIGHT: CHEAP TRICK, WITH MEAT LOAF.’ And I said to myself, ‘These people think we’re serving dinner,’” Meat Loaf explained in 2013 on the syndicated radio show “In the Studio.”

I've never heard a Meat Loaf song that I can recall, other than watching him on Fridays (?) because someone I knew was playing in his band. 

I'm seeing an awful amount of respect for the man on this board and elsewhere on the Internet, which leads me to think that I have really missed out on something.  But music is immortal.  Anyone here care to suggest which album of his to start with?  Bat Out of Hell, or something else?

Dude, Steinman may have put the words down on paper, but the Big Man had a near operatic voice and presentation of the music.

The empty space can still be felt across the country. The Republican leadership in DC is rudderless. Limbaugh was a presence that forced the establishment R’s to address issues. Today they just hide in the sand. MIA on the happenings in Canada, On the failed “vaccines”, On pants shitter Biden’s disastrous foreign policy blunders, On exploding inflation. The McConnells of DC look at everything like Democrats, how can we capitalize on this politically.

Limbaugh brought humor and optimism to a subject that most treat with pessimism and anger. His voice and his attitude are greatly missed.

Dan Bongino was my choice. He's made it clear that he is not renewing his contract with Cumulus radio, so his show is doomed and new stations aren't starting up with him. He has a couple of really annoying flaws, repeating a joke way too long. So, he'll say something that was semi-funny once, 40 times over the next 2 minutes.  He will also interrupt himself on a serious topic and start talking about his engineer eating a sandwich or something.

I don’t mind Bongino but I don’t make the effort to seek out his show. I’ve recently started to watch/listen to the Rubin Report. He’s a mellow guy. Not as edgy or funny as Rush but he is fairly uplifting and I think his mild approach is one that could draw in people from the other side of the isle.

Hearing about the severe force required has pretty much thrown me right into conspiracy land. As in coverup / collusion / someone covering their ass(es).

Even if I were a green detective, I would have to consider an old fashioned bludgeoning at this point as a possible scenario. I didn't appreciate how the media was so quick to say "he went to sleep." As in, "it is so tragic he went to sleep instead of going to the ER."  Even if that WERE the case, they would have no way to know he did willingly go to sleep.

It is analogous (though an extreme parallel) to someone saying, "health professionals state that JFK mostly likely went to sleep after receiving his head injury. They  reminded us to pass on the information  that any head injury should be checked out by a doctor immediately."

If Saget was murdered, that is how STUPID my local talking heads sound. "If only JFK had not dozed off."

Very frustrating when they seem to make it up as they go.

I'm just ranting. I try as hard as anybody to remain logical, but I have trust issues.

I'm still 100% convinced that DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey was surgically suicided in Florida.

She went on record, stating if she turned up dead, it was NOT a suicde.

It still haunts me. Granted, she was playing in a high risk arena, but it still pisses me off that we're supposed to believe she hanged herself in her mom's shed. Yeah. That sounds just like a preferred method for a woman to off herself. A slow struggling suffocation for your mom to discover.

The Tarpon Springs police ruled it a suicide within moments of "discovering the body."

I remember how smug and certain they acted. As if they could perform a tox screen with their minds  and immediately rule out any foul play of her being drugged prior and being prop murdered.


It would have been easy.

"Now look, Deb. This is how it is going to go down. You're going to write the suicide note we dictate.  After that, we'll give you a knockout hyperdermic. You literally will not feel a thing. If you don't cooperate, Agent Morris will walk back into the trailer and put a bullet in your mother's brain. Then we will hang you anyway and it will be ruled a murder suicide. We'd rather it be more tidy. It's up to you."

Pushes paper and pen toward her.


She had too much dirt on too many psychopaths.

The Saget event is bringing it all back.

I probably need counseling.  ;D

Mitchell Ryan has died at the age of 88.  There will now be a brief pause so that everyone can say who the hell was Mitchell Ryan?  He was an actor that was in quite a few productions but perhaps he was best known for playing the character Burke Devlin in the soap opera Dark Shadows.  He played the role for one year at which time the producers fired his ass because he drank too much.  Well, that's all fine and well, but the guy who replaced him was butt-ugly terrible.  Comparable to Bewitched when the first great Darrin (Dick York) was replaced by the horrible second Darrin (Dick Sargent).  I am a big Dark Shadows fan, so his passing means something to me.  God Bless you Mitchell.  May you rest in peace.

The time is right for a true  Dark Shadows reboot. Not as a movie. Not as a  limited event series.  Not as a weekly show with 13 episodes per season or similar crap on a UHF channel.

But as an everyday low budget daytime soap opera on ABC the way it was meant to be, with commercials selling real products such as  toothpaste, cars, soap, and coffee. No insurance or pharmaceutical ads. No political ads. No goddamn weather update interruptions. No goddamed Life Alert! Shoot me!

We want, we demand, an old fashioned gothic soap opera, marketing with vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and "the severed mummified  hand of glory" in a box. Melodramatic horror. Overacting. Questionable set lighting. Rushed script writing. Continuity errors. The whole ball of wax. That's what we want.

Network execs are so dense, overlooking obvious formulas like this  that would still kill.

The show would automatically  trend everywhere when boomers learned of a 30 minute timeslot that did not allow annoying fucking commercials pushing another drug or health insurance or bathroom remodeling yahoos who look like funeral home directors with shower stalls that look like a set location from Phantasm.

The goal would be to match the original Dark Shadows run of 1,225 episodes.

But no one has the spine, nor the balls, nor the brains, nor the patience, to do it correctly.

An old fashioned structure, but enhanced by streaming / binging alternatives.

It would be huge.

But noooooooo. Give us another mindless talk show that sucks every particle of oxygen from my atmosphere of existence.

He was boinking her before ST, she was in an episode of his previous series, "The Lieutenant."  She shows up at about the 9:25 mark.  Interestingly, this episode never aired as part of the series because NBC executives felt its heavy racial overtones were too controversial for 1963.

Criminal asshole who served time for physically attacking someone and permanently paralyzing the victim.

Doctors downplayed his past, and up to the end said he was a "noble patient."

This statement reflects their high level of psychopathy.
 
(But, as pointed out more than once on the Dr. Dutton/Bruce Dickinson Psycho Schizo Espresso podcast, a high level of  psychopath is often the best surgeon.)

Akira Takarada

Japanese actor.

Died on March 14. He was 87. Toho Studios did not release the cause of death; he had been struggling with a chronic illness and in a wheelchair for his most recent fan greeting appearance.

Born in North Korea.

One of the most recognizable men associated with the original Godzilla series. Appeared in six Godzilla movies.

Besides his film career, Takarada stared in stage productions and did voiceover work. He did the Japanese dubbing for the 1967 version of Doctor Doolittle, in which he voiced Rex Harrison’s title character.

(So I'm counting this as a weird giraffe sighting.)

Other than a possible side effect of a covid inoculation, how else could he have died? Drugs? A jealous woman? Speeding or dangerous behaviors? 50 years old is way too young.

He seemed to be having a great time in a positive way...

UPDATE
I just read that he was in Bogota Colombia and complained of chest pains but did not respond to CPR after his heart stopped.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, there are a lot of people, more so than in years past, who are having myocardial issues after receiving not only the initial MRNA covid inoculation, but the boosters seem to be having a great effect as well.

Surely nobody will dig deep on this one. That's just the way it's done has no one wants to start questioning the inoculation that's supposed to save us from ever getting covid (as we have been told).

"Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins 'had ten different drugs in his system including heroin, marijuana, antidepressants and opioids' when he died in Colombia hotel"

While not a celebrity on his own, he had a famous last name. I just learned today that he died a year 13 months ago. Cancer got him,

I came across him because he sent a resume to the company I was with at the time. He was either doing web work or database work, definitely computer stuff. I straight-out asked him are you Harry Nilsson's son... Yes. First thing I said was your father was extremely kind to me...  Without a pause, he says I wish he was the same to me. One of his cherished treasures was a note that his father wrote him while he was still an infant. The guy misspelled his own baby's name in that note.

I remember one time seeing him in a T-shirt that said something like "My father is a platinum selling, Grammy winner and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

Cheers Zak.

I know that in some areas the interstate is the only way to bicycle or walk, but they usually have paths well off the roadway. Wonder what his toxicology is going to show.

With the upcoming season, he was looking at probably getting some on the field opportunities if they didn't pick up a top name quarterback but rather an older injury prone one.

Sounds like they got him. Sounds like they whacked the Coach. Hearing rumors that "Coach Red Pill" has been eliminated by the Ukrainian secret police. He is one of these dudes that seems to have a flock that send him money in return for life/dating advice. I'm not a follower but became slightly interested in the dude at the beginning of the war. I think he is a Peruvian but speaks English with an American accent. I saw a video he put out late last year where he was telling his flock that the West is finished and that they should move to Eastern Europe and drill hot Slavic chicks like him. He lives in Kharkov which is in Ukraine but right up against the border with Russia.

With the invasion imminent, he decided to pop on over to Kiev to take care of some issue. He was staying in a fancy hotel that was empty except for him and a bunch of journalists. Instead of keeping a low profile the dude starts doing videos from the hotel bad mouthing the Ukrainian government. To top it off, he starts bad mouthing the journalists on stream while he is sitting with them down in the breakfast area. Like that is going to end well.....   He got mega-butthurt when the hotel manager merely kicked him out. Seems to me he caught a break there and he was able to sneak back to Kharkov. He then really ramped up his criticism of the Ukrainian government and some of his clips ended up on Russia Today.  That is when a "Death Squad" came a knocking but he supposedly he was able to go underground and keep up his streams.  He then did a video showing his favorite chocolate shop in Kharkov which kind of showed the general area he was hiding in. Now folks are saying he is a deader.  One would think if you were a foreigner living in a country involved in a war you would be low key but one can't fix stupid I guess.


The coach enjoyed the pool in the hotel in Kiev.

To top it off, he starts bad mouthing the journalists on stream while he is sitting with them down in the breakfast area. Like that is going to end well.....   He got mega-butthurt when the hotel manager merely kicked him out. Seems to me he caught a break there and he was able to sneak back to Kharkov. He then really ramped up his criticism of the Ukrainian government and some of his clips ended up on Russia Today.  That is when a "Death Squad" came a knocking but he supposedly he was able to go underground and keep up his streams.  He then did a video showing his favorite chocolate shop in Kharkov which kind of showed the general area he was hiding in. Now folks are saying he is a deader.  One would think if you were a foreigner living in a country involved in a war you would be low key but one can't fix stupid I guess.


The coach enjoyed the pool in the hotel in Kiev.

They are blaming mental illness, but if she took her own life because of health issues, I don't consider that crazy. I was under the impression that she was not healthy enough to continue performing years ago. So if she did it then put herself out of misery, maybe it's their religion that shades their statement.

Yes, the boys were members of The Champs, but I believe that they joined up after "Tequila" made it to number one.

”Anne Heche was not under the influence of alcohol when she crashed her car into a home last Friday, but she was under the influence of cocaine ... this according to law enforcement sources, and possibly fentanyl as well.”

Well, thankfully she wasn’t drunk. Just cocaine and possibly fentanyl. I guess she was out of meth.

Please skip Charles, please skip Charles.

What will happen when the Queen dies?

When the Queen dies, Prince Charles will become King almost immediately by default and Camilla will become Queen Consort, it has been confirmed. This is the rule under common law, experts at University College London's Constitution Unit (opens in new tab) explain, and it's unlikely that Prince Charles would give the throne to his son, Prince William. "It would be natural for Prince Charles to want to assume the throne and perform the royal duties for which he has spent so long preparing," they say.

In early February 2022, the Queen confirmed that when the title changes hands she would like Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as the "Queen Consort" (opens in new tab). It's a title that Prince Charles himself described as a true honour for both him and his "darling wife".

According to professor Nicoletta Gullace (opens in new tab), who specialises in modern British history at the University of New Hampshire, the code name for Charles’s taking the throne is "Operation Spring Tide".

"Once the flags have been lowered and the cannons fired, marking the queen’s death, the prime minister will hold his first audience with the new king,” she adds. After meeting with the Prime Minister, the new King will address the nation. 

If Prince Charles opts to keep his own name (a choice every royal makes when they ascend the throne), he will be known as King Charles III. While Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and second in the line to the throne, will become the Prince of Wales - like his father was.

The first official to deal with the news of the Queen’s death will be her private secretary. This is currently Edward Young (opens in new tab), who gained the position when Sir Christopher Geidt retired in 2017. He will inform the prime minister, the cabinet secretary, the most senior ministers and the Privy Council Office (opens in new tab), which coordinates government work, of Her Majesty’s death.

The Foreign Office’s Global Response Centre, which sits at a secret location in London, will send out the news to 15 governments where the Queen is also the head of state. They will also inform other nations of the Commonwealth (opens in new tab), where she is the symbolic figurehead.

This will all happen before us, the general public, find out that she has died. Another announcement will go out to the Press Association and the rest of the world’s media at the same time. This is when we’ll likely find out the news.

Bernard Shaw 82.  He reported on Watergate for CBS, Jim Jones for ABC, and became the first senior anchor for CNN, where he famously broadcast from Baghdad on the first night of the Gulf War.  It’s always been interesting to me that CBS thought so little of Watergate, they assigned essentially three rookies to cover it - Shaw, the new Black guy, Lesley Stahl, the new woman, and Connie Chung, the new Asian woman.

My mother passed not long ago. We had an outside ceremony at the cemetery in my small hometown, with an open coffin. Just as the  ceremony ended and the lid on her coffin was slowly closed, the silence was broken by a train in the distance, sounding it’s horn. Her father had been a locomotive engineer for a long time for the old Erie railroad and her mother had always loved trains.

I found this an interesting read:

All the rules on how you can see Queen Elizabeth's coffin in Westminster

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/rules-how-you-can-see-25022226

Here's a few excerpts:

The queue starts where Albert Embankment meets Lambeth Bridge in Central London, on the south side of the River Thames. From Albert Embankment, the queue continues along the south bank of the Thames.

Those joining will be issued a wristband to mark their place and avert the risk of queue-jumpers. The wristbands also allow people to leave the queue “for a short period to use a toilet or get refreshments” before returning to their place in the queue. Public toilets, drinking water and first aid stations will be available at designated locations along the queue route.

Official guidance warns: “Please note that the queue is expected to be very long. You will need to stand for many hours, possibly overnight, with very little opportunity to sit down, as the queue will keep moving. Please consider this before you decide to attend or bring children with you. The queue may close early to ensure as many visitors as possible can enter the Palace before the Lying-in-State period comes to an end.”

Separate access queue

People with a disability or long-term condition which means they are unable to queue for an extended period of time will be able to join a shorter queue. A separate accessible kiosk is to be set up at the Tate Britain on Millbank. Timed entry slots for Westminster Hall will be issued for people with access needs, who can then move immediately to join the accessible queue at Victoria Tower Gardens, next to Parliament. There will only be a limited amount of spots each day for this queue.

Security searches may also be carried out while people are in the queue – while stewards and police officers are expected to patrol, ejecting queue-jumpers and those deemed drunk.

It is not permitted to queue on behalf of other people or “reserve” a spot for someone else – the person queuing up will be the only one allowed entry.

Apparently Maury Wills' death touched a nerve.  ;)  Aside from the union stagehand bit, I have a couple in my family that fit the bill.  My ex-wife is lumped into that bunch.  Not a felon but should be.

There used to be a large newspaper clipping from a San Francisco newspaper in the family archives.  It featured a large photo of my oldest brother who, as a baby, had the uncanny ability of lifting a heavy dumbbell up, making it look like he was playing with a large baby rattle.  The picture was labeled Samson Junior.  Anyway, on the back of the clipping was an article about Angela Lansbury, picture included.  She looked great.  Still had some youth on her side.

I've seen so many videos and articles about how people looked older back in the 50s and 60s. For large part, I agree. It was probably from smoking.

Angela Lansbury probably had popped out a few pups by then, eh? Yes I could go to Wikipedia and see if she had kids, but...

Back in the late 80s, while in the Philippines I had a pair of custom boots made out of water buffalo hide.  The boot guy told me they would wear like iron, water buffalo hide was tough.  Long story short, he was right, I had them for nearly thirty years.  On the down side, for whatever reason they absolutely reeked when they got wet. I would have to set them outside in the breeze for a couple days to dry and air away the smell.  Also, I have no hair on either leg from my ankles up to about 2" below my knees.  The hide eroded it.

Well I don't recognize any of the names.  Might tha tbe because I don't follow hockey?  And isn't that a very select group of individuas?  Maybe you could do Football next?

I could.
It would be easier if you just stopped watching the ADD shitfest known as football, though.

94.3% of NFL players are vaccinated; nearly 100% of NFL personnel are vaccinated and none of them died from their hearts exploding.
None of them were diagnosed with myocarditis.
Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead and Bills' Tommy Sweeney both got covid prior to vaccines and both were out with myocarditis.
Remember when sites that sell you bug out bags and freeze dried meals tried to sell you on the hoax about athletes dropping dead? Good times.

Esophageal cancer...  Acid reflux and smoking are the most common causes.

I've known the name for ages, but I don't know if I ever listened to him.. I listened to the very beginning and towards the end of his final show, obviously he knew something was up and he was stepping away but he didn't announce it. A tearful Oliver North mentioned that he knew why and started referring to seeing him on the other side.

I kinda liked Bohannon.  I once talked to the Rev Jerry Falwell as his guest on Bohannon's show, and had a good three way conversation amongst us. I didn't agree with Rev Falwell's position entirely, but was impressed how civil our discussion was. Bohannon did a good job challenging both of us.

Tony Dorsey - 78. Trombonist and arranger Paul McCartney Project, Wings, Bone Holmes & Friends and many more. A good player and a nice guy.

Mama Louise Hudson - 93.  She and her friend Inez Hill opened The H&H Restaurant in 1959 in Macon, Georgia. A few years later Phil Walden formed what would become Capricorn Records right around the corner.  Mama Louise kept the soul bands of the 60s and the Southern Rock bands of the 70s well fed.  She was a very kind lady filled with love.

This is why I seldom go on Facebook.  Someone I know has always died.  This time two.

Gaylord Perry, sportsball thrower, 84.

He looked older, surprised he was so young.

21-6 when he was 40 years old. Cy Young award winner 1978 San Diego Padres team that featured Rollie Fingers, Ozzie Smith and Dave Winfield. What was their record? 84 and 78. I think that was the year that Ozzie Smith made a play behind Randy Jones where the ball took a bad bounce and Ozzy reached up over his head while he was diving and caught the ball with his bare hand. In San diego, they call it "the play."

They were managed by Roger Craig, a man whose guidance destroyed many baseball arms. That guy is still alive at 92 years old.

I don't think he was that kind of a priest.  In fact, he actually tried to get a handle on the pedophile priest problem but was a bit slow in his efforts and he was heavily criticized for that.  Yes, he was a member of the Hitler Youth movement, as were all 14 year old German boys at that time.  He didn't attend any of the Hitler Youth meetings and his dad hated Nazis.  That being said, the future Pope was drafted and assigned to a German Infantry unit, (anti-aircraft corps) shortly before the war ended.

Most child stars have parents with issues... There are exceptions, but that's few and far between when the kids are young...

The bad role modeling then becomes evident.

Plus, a lot of child stars have developmental issues that make them look younger than they actually are. This includes people in their twenties who look like they're 14.

The exceptions are the exception.

99% of the child stars whose parents were in the Midwest and moved to LA for their career are the nutters. Moving to Los Angeles without a job and banking on their child to support them.

I don't know if Billy Mumy was an LA kid, he seems like one. If he wasn't, it could be that his father was in the defense contracting business or in the military. No, not googling it.

Oliver Brady (Bunch) seems normal too. Really outgoing and good conversationalist. He must be an LA kid too (or parents were normal).

Yes Billy Mumy was born and raised in LA and still lives in the family home he inherited.  His father was a cattle rancher and was quite old when Billy was born.  Billy  has said his parent's invested the money he earned as a child very well, so he hasn't needed to work as an adult to make money.

Robbie Bachman - 69.

Robbie Knievel - 60

Bad day for Robbies.

When I heard the Bachman-Turner Overdrive music during the news report this morning, I really thought it was Fred Turner who had died.

He kind of backed out of the business a few years ago. I have been meaning to track down Fred with a little bit of an ulterior motive of scoring one of his basses.

I played one of them once and loved it. He would get companies to make him a five-string neck but put only four strings on it. That included only drilling for four tuning pegs. So, he'd get an extra massive neck, wide spacing and an extra-mass headstock. I swear that the tone on those basses we're superior to their four-string counterparts. They were really comfortable to play too. He was quite proud of that as he asked a company on a lark for that configuration not knowing if he would like it or not.

BTW, I was genuinely relieved to find out that Lisa Marie Presley had other kids than the one who killed himself.  I'd rather see actual family benefitting from Elvis's estate than some bookkeeper. Not all families are qualified to handle famous ancestors' intellectual properties, but almost all accountants screw things up even more.

Reminds me of a Canadian fellow who won a 'Ding' from Art's New Years prediction show.  He predicted that a professional wrestler would pass.  (I think that three had died in previous years, so it was a relatively safe prediction to make.)  A year later he would score again by predicting that there would be a school shooting.  Even back in those days, it was another safe-bet prediction to make.

Have you always masturbated whenever people of a certain age died or is this a new thing that started when you joined your cult?
How far down the diedsuddenly rabbit hole do you have to be to continue doubting 31 year olds ever had heart attacks?

Here’s an interesting article on Crosby and the musicians in Laurel Canyon.  The author includes a tremendous amount of guilt by association in the piece.  He also doesn’t seem to understand, or ignores, the fact that many, many Silent Generation and early Boomer kids spent time on or near military bases because of WWII and Korea.

The level and number of celebrities in my humble San Diego area was incredible. Names you'd know.  Most of them before my time, but a few during it. Almost all Navy, some because of defense companies. Los Angeles had an even larger defense industry.

What you'll see is that defense contractors were quite intelligent and genetics play a BIG factor. Two intelligent parents often create "over focused" children.  Autism also runs high in those circles...

Dean Daughtry - 76. Keyboards, Classics IV, Atlanta Rhythm Section

The '70s would not have been the 1970s without Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Champagne Jam is one of those great albums that really works from the drop of the needle to the trail off groove.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the third death. The bassist, Paul Goddard, was like 800 lbs. The singer, Ronnie Hammond (?) had substance abuse issues.

Another piece of my youth has died.

Weren't Don Felder and a slightly younger Tom Petty in that scene as well? If I recall the story correct, Don Felder was giving lessons at the music store and Tom Petty was his student.

Petty was from Gainesville - about 100- miles from Jacksonville.  I’m thinking Felder was, too. A lot of the guys in ARS were in The Classics IV who were from Jacksonville.  Duane and Gregg Allman joined up with The Bitter Ind which had Dickie Betts and Berry Oakley.  They played their first gig as The Allman Brothers Band in the old Jacksonville Beach auditorium.

Allen was in a car crash in 1986 that put him a wheelchair and unable to play guitar.  He died in 1990 from pneumonia which was the result of the paralysis.

Jim Gordon died almost a week ago. He schizophrenically-murdered his mother after having insured his comfort for the rest of his life with royalty money from writing that piano interlude for "Layla" and working his way around drumming for all sorts of legendary acts.

Eh, if he had any kids or siblings, they'll be getting his money for another 20 something years.

Also of note Anissa Jones would be 65 this week except she overdosed at 18 years old. She died maybe seven or eight miles apart from Martin Miller's death location. Old TV stars come here to die!

At the show in 2013 he was very 'gaunt' and his voice was shot. People were actually leaving the show and asking for a refund, but most stayed as we did. I remember feeling sort of bad for him coz he just didn't sound like himself at all. He looked easily 84 that night. Glad we went either way.

We saw Seinfeld at the same place a month later. My wife was tipsy and had on 6" heels (would have been about 6'7 with those things) and fell between the rows of seats as we were finding ours. House lights were on and it was quite the spectacle while sounds of Sinatra filled the place. Heh heh heh  She did it her way  ;D

Searching around for the Gordon Lightfoot schedule. I had been hearing radio ads for him...  His last concert was 10/30 in Winnipeg. December shows for SoCal were all postponed.  That must have been where I heard the ads.

Tons of reviews said it was pathetic and many said they requested a refund. If I'm a promoter, I'm not putting him on a Southern California stage.  The word of mouth would have been the end... Well, in a way, it was.

Andy Rourke - 59 -pancreatic cancer.

Bassist from The Smiths and, as I met him, The Pretenders.

I spent a couple of days around him. Seemed like a very cool, level-headed dude and it was like being friends with him for ages. We had talked haircuts at one point and I mentioned that his current styling would have looked better with Duran Duran. At that point Martin Chambers started razzing him with "thinking of leaving us?"

While not his best work with The Pretenders, I think this video is probably most complimentary to his presence.


Too young.

NSA is a nice and sociable group for the most part. I went to temples all over Los Angeles and San Diego. Some members homes were regular meeting spots, a real friendly group.

It probably helped them on a lot of levels, I don't know about the spiritual aspect of it.

My biggest problem with the group was that they had a bit of a nationalist issue in Japan that created problems. Kind of like if there was a German religious group that thought the Nazis were okay, well that's what their group was like for modern Japanese. Not as extreme, but not acceptable for the mainstream. Because of my in-laws, I had to cut all ties as NSA is considered a cult. More for their socio-political practices than their religious ones.

Since she could speak English and sing a bit, the producers had her record the new English lyrics to Garota de Ipanema - The Girl from Ipanema which became an international hit. Her kind of thin, not exactly in tune voice became the standard for girl Bossa Nova singers.

"Barry Newman, whose terse integrity and understated rebelliousness made the 1971 movie “Vanishing Point” an enduring hit in the annals of American cinema about the open road, died on May 11 in Manhattan. He was 92."

Clevon Little was great in "Vanishing Point" as the blind DJ doing a play-by-play of Kolwaski's antics.  This was before he became a star in "Blazing Saddles."  Alas, Little died over 30 years ago.

I heard some interesting trivia about Blazing Saddles... Richard Pryor was supposed to be in it. I think it was because of his cocaine habit that they couldn't get him insured or funded, something like that. They had to pick Clevon Little. Honestly, I can't see Richard Pryor pulling the role off. They did give Richard Pryor some executive producer credit though.

He was also a co-writer, with Mel Brooks and a few others.  As I watch Blazing Saddles, I can see parts Pryor probably wrote.

In 1998, I participated in an online contest which was to create a limerick that included "Kaczynski" and "Lewinski" in it.  These were my submissions:

Some think that Lewinski's a clown
And Kaczynski's mind is unsound
But you just can't deny it
They're modern day pirates
They know how to blow a man down

A skater who asked, "Who's Kaczynski?"

"He sent bombs in the mail
But now he's in jail
Where he's giving more head than Lewinski."

Interesting. I just recently saw somebody making some accusations about him. I just saw headlines, didn't look deeper.  I also recall, when he canceled a show possibly in LA, that they were making it sound worse, or so I thought. Considering the lust for blood in the media...

Steve Harwell - Smash Mouth. He has been ill for a while, 56 years old.

I ran into Steve a few times while I lived in Southern Nevada. Very subdued guy and, I have more recently found out why he might have been that way, I always had my kids with me and he lost one of his kids to illness. My oldest was about the age of his child who died.

Wasn't he on the Surreal Life many years ago? pretty sure it was him, and he did mention his child. Came across as a very sad individual. By sad I mean in the way any of us would feel if we lost a child. Sad, not pathetic. I couldn't imagine.

It's too early to have any politicians die.  Hold it... Bill Richardson just recently died, maybe they could do a couple of quick politicians to get our "comes in three" thingy going.

Actress Gayle Hunnicutt died on August 31, and just to show you how out of the loop I was in regards to her passing, I was right in the middle of watching the 1980's miniseries The Martian Chronicles and didn't realize it was her until the credits were run on part two.  She played the part of Rock Hudson's wife in the production.  It is a wonderful miniseries and I absolutely love it, despite the fact that Ray Bradbury wasn't all that pleased with it.  But what the hell did he know about it, after all he was just the guy who wrote it.  She also played the role of the beautiful Irene Adler in the very first segment of the Jeremy Brett, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series on Granada Television.  She was also married to actor David Hemmings for awhile, if that pulls any weight.  Regardless, I can honestly say that I love her.  Rest in Peace, Gayle.

For years I wondered who "Val Doonican" was after his introduction by the Bonzos in "The Intro and the Outro."  Years later I was in the Ireland and heard RTE (Irish radio) do a show with him.  The Bonzos nailed him in their song.

David McCallum Dies: Beloved ‘NCIS’ Actor Was 90

McCallum was a good friend and frequent guest of the radio host who runs the Saturday night trivia/nostalgia show on WBZ out of Boston.  I spoke to McCallum probably half a dozen times on air over the years.  He wasn't the most personable guy, he particular didn't like the callers who told him how much they loved him and his characters.  Give him a question and you got a good, succinct answer without any self aggrandizing.  The most interesting thing I heard him say was he had been a small arms instructor in the British Army, and as a result he insisted any gunplay in UNCLE be realistic/authentic and safe   You never saw him shoot a cinematographer.

Ahhh that's a shame. Good story there. We have a famous coach, Lou Holtz, that went for a flight in a small plane with a friend. Pilot asks Holtz "What would you do if I had a heart attack right now?" "I'd whip your butt all the way to the ground" was Holtz's answer but that Gambon story is much better.

Dick Butkus- 80.

Read "Dick Butkus, legendary Chicago Bears linebacker and Hall of Famer, dies at 80" on SmartNews: https://l.smartnews.com/p-SzzbP/BR3sP7

In his day, linebackers were seldom used in pass coverage, and would hit ball carriers going down hill. Butkus was the fiercest hitter I ever saw. I actually spoke to him a few years back at a Nebraska @ Illinois football game.  He was still intimidating in his mid 70s.

George Plimpton wrote the best football book I've read, "Mad Ducks and Bears," about the insane antics of Detroit Lions Alex Karras and John Gordy.  The book is hilarious.  The funniest part was the story of the "Alex Karras Charity Golf Tournament."  Karras hired a bunch of midgets for the tournament.  A group of them got drunk, knocked on Butkus' hotel room door at like 3am,  and then gang tackled Butkus when he answered the door.  What I'd give to have seen that!

Former ‘NCIS’ Stars Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly Mourn David McCallum: “He Made Every Moment Count”

I had the Man From U.N.C.L.E. spy attache case. I still have my Man From U.N.C.L.E. security badge somewhere.

David's musician father's suggested to Jimmy Page to use a violin bow on his electric guitar.

The other round about Page connection, is that Jimmy did the soundtrack for a Charles Bronson Death Wish film. Charles Bronson was also in The Great Escape with David.

Charles Bronson stole David's wife, Jill Ireland, from him. Who's to blame???

Kissinger is no more.  Aged 100.

A lot of the mystique around Kissenger, especially relative to his love life, came from an early 70s book entitled, "Kissenger...The Adventures of Super-Kraut." The book's author, a guy named Chuck Ashman, was one of most notorious con men/maniacs of his day.  He falsely claimed to be a law school (University of Tennessee) graduate and to have studied at Oxford (or was it Cambridge?.  He installed himself as Dean of an unaccredited law school.  He was found guilty of fraud for a check kiting scheme, and later spent a couple years confined in a mental institution. He had the uncanny ability to talk himself into a number high profile jobs he was unqualified for, only to get fired when his employers discovered he was a lunatic.

Not long after "Super-kraut" was published, he somehow convinced the management at St. Louis' KMOX radio, a very respectable 50K watt station that pioneered talk radio, to put him on the air as a talk host.  The guy was out of his mind, a fact evident to even a 16 year old Duke.  He lasted only a couple months. For the next several years he wrote a series of sensational (as in a "National Enquirer" way) books.  Amazingly, in the late 80s, one of his books was instrumental in exposing former UN Secretary General and Austrian President Kurt Waldheim's SS role against Jews in WW2.

If Ashman is still alive, he'd be around 90.  He'd be a hoot to talk to.

"In effect, Kissinger ensured the perpetuation of Israeli colonisation of Palestinian lands for decades to come. He was the architect of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s surrender to Israel and selling out of Palestinian rights at Camp David, and designed the so-called American-sponsored “peace process”, which has defined US policy towards Palestinians and Israel and has since brought about the ongoing calamities in much of the Arab world."

I don't remember the institutionalization being tied to the fraud charges/bad checks, but I suppose that's possible. What I wrote in my previous post about him I did from memory based on a St Louis newspaper article my uncle (who lived in St Louis) sent me back in the day. I also read his book about Nazi war criminals that dealt with Waldheim. I'd never seen the Schwarzenegger interview, thanks for posting that.  Considering all the laudatory comments he made about Ashman, you have to wonder if Arnold was aware of his checkered past?

I bought my first 4X12 cab from his guitar tech who was selling a bunch of road gear.
The thing weighed twice as much as a Marshall but it growled.
I opened it up a few years later and FUCK RUSH was carved into the wood.
A few years after that I was at a Lee Aaron show and got into a conversation with Myles.
I had no idea if he was aware of the carving so I just casually said FUCK RUSH to him.
He looked me in the eye and casually replied FUCK RUSH.
He was unphased by it so I figured it was a secret handshake type of thing.
I never mentioned seeing it inside the cab or asking if that was ever his cab.
Since then anytime I think of him I think FUCK RUSH.

AHhh  well that sheds some light on it. I like it.  Slightly ironic enough; I just finished listening/watching an interview with Lee Aaron and her guitar player who's been in Nashville for 30 years now after a suggestion from Gil Moore.

Body dysphoria is a mental illness, once they start treating it like that, there are certainly be less suicides.

How did she die?

Not sure but she's had a roughish time as of late - exploded boob and a dead fellah.

Quote
Earlier this year, Anderson said she was dealing with health issues after one of her silicone breast implants became infected and later exploded, which left her battling sepsis. And just a few weeks ago, on November 17, news broke that her partner, former Croydon FC football star Oliver Spedding, had passed away himself.

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/ian-punnett-march-3-1960-december-21-2023/

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Ian Punnett passed away from a brief illness yesterday. His keen intellect and delightful sense of humor will be deeply missed. Since 2000, Ian has, in various incarnations, been a valued host of Coast to Coast AM, including regular weekend hosting duties, his own spin-off show Coast to Coast LIVE with Ian Punnett, a podcast entitled Vaudeville for the Frightened, and most recently twice a month hosting duties.

I’ve had the privilege of producing for Ian these past 24 years, and I will miss our friendship and the professional collaboration. Every conversation behind the scenes was as lively and entertaining and everything we strive for on the air. Ian was great radio personified.

Ian co-hosted rock morning radio shows on WXLP in the Quad Cities on then-rock music station WKDF in Nashville, Tennessee in the early-to-mid-1990s, was also morning man on WMJY in Long Branch, New Jersey. He moved to talk radio at WGN in Chicago in 1994 and then Atlanta, Georgia in 1997 to host a nightly talk show. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, Punnett hosted the morning show (6-10 am) on KTMY-FM. It was known as Ian & Margery, and was co-hosted by his wife, Margery.

While working full-time in radio, Ian completed a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. In 2017, he completed his PhD at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, part of Arizona State University. In 2018 he joined the faculty of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kansas State University as a professor of practice and chief operator of the award-winning KSDB-FM. He co-edited and wrote Moving Sounds: A Cultural History of Car Radio (2019) from Peter Lang Publishing and two chapters for Praeger’s Religion and Technology Series: How Religions are Embracing Virtual Media, Social Networks, and Mobile Devices (Vol. II) (2019). He was the author of several books, including How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God from Random House, Toward A Theory of True Crime (2018) from Routledge, and the trade book, A Black Night for the Bluegrass Belle (2017), as well as two children’s books written to raise money for canine charities, Dizzy the Mutt with the Propeller Butt and Jackula the Vampire Dog.

He is survived by his wife, Margery Punnett, and two sons.

This saddens me a great deal. I first heard Ian way back on coast in the early 2000's and he sounded so young. He was easy to listen to on nights when Art was not in, and I can't say that about all of them.  My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I have a great deal of Ian shows and I think I'll put one on now and broadcast it throughout every room.

Fuckin dammit.  :'(

Social media is really something with the amount of people it commentating on that this Dixie Chick saying ""ashamed President George Bush is from Texas" because of the Invasion of Iraq. Of course first this particular "chick" left the band during Clinton's first term, second wow the uproar at the time(and holding it today) for saying something as soft as "being ashamed of a president" compared the crap that's said after that (I am sure Clinton heard worse), and thirdly which demo right now is still on the "Hey don't diss Bush over Iraq" Even current republicans are like F-that guy I was never for the war  ::)

On a bit of a lighter note. Fox News being Fox news put the wrong Laura Lynch photo during their report of the death.  What makes it ultra strange they did have the video footage from the early/mid-90s of her singing with the original Dixie Chicks but than put a photo of a Canadian reporter with the same name as a still. How did they think the first woman playing music is the same woman as the second picture, 30 YEARS later lol.

Oh how the publishing mighty have fallen in this brave new digital world.

Back when school kids were sent out to earn a few pennies for their schools by selling magazine subscriptions to their families, neighbors, parent's friends and co-workers, Sports Illustrated had to have been near the top of that list.  All the enticements offered in TV ads to by a subscription - for yourself or as a gift - who wouldn't be delighted to receive a year of SI for Father's Day or Christmas!

The annual uproar the swimsuit issue would create - from high school sociology classes to church pulpits.  If their fans could get one before they were sold out on the magazine rack.  Somehow these never made it to the doctor's office magazine pile.

And then one day we read that it's gone.

If you've never read John Berendt's book, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," I highly recommend it.  It's about a high profile murder case in Savannah, GA, back in the 1980s, but one of the lawyers involved was owner of UGA (#?).  The dog's story and lifestyle, while not having anything to do with the murder, is a key subplot.  The dog lived better than I do.

The Athletic hired away a lot of journalists a few years back.  They were serious about their place in the business.

She has been an absolute train wreck of health. It seems to all be happening since her husband died, but that was a long time ago... Cocaine is helluva drug.

No, the singer I heard was having difficulties was in a '60s British band and provided vocals for another project. They had to cancel part of their tour last year. But since I overheard it from a friend's phone call while he was at work, I don't feel comfortable saying the name and the person saying stuff in the background could have been exaggerating. "Aw, he's dying and screwing me out of this..."

The bass dude was right. He had lung cancer and didn't know it. It was newsworthy months after his death because of that small detail. I think I remember because I had a dear friend who was a Dio-votee (with LDY EVL plates on her black SUV to prove it). Poor dude was obviously struggling out there .

This won't mean anything to an American but...fuck it. The actor John Savident has died at age 86. He was a familiar face on Coronation Street back in the nineties and for some odd reason I have been thinking about him the last few days. Actually I thought he died years ago. He was also famous for being stabbed. It's a great story, he got some bloke back to his flat for sex (although he claimed they were there to 'discuss the theatre', which has been my favourite euphemism for gay sex ever since) and he knifed him. This was back in the days when people didn't talk about homesexuality (he was a married man) and the media didn't openly talk about what went on so you had to join the dots a bit. It's very different now of course.

Sadly, his Wikipedia page was nowhere near what his IMDb page was like. I saw a photo that looked familiar, but all fat guys with little hair look alike. I did find that he was in Mr. Bean Takes a Test. The dude has been around the block, I saw a reference to him being on The Saint as well.

Yes, Willikins had to cry off a memorial service for personal reasons. Basically they're just posh Sendas, we're giving them all this money and now they can't be arsed to tell us what's up? If it wasn't serious they would say, that's pretty obvious.

So a few years ago I had a total Mandela effect with, I remember clearly he passed away than when I still saw him in new episodes of Curb way after I thought he died I had to look it up and found out he was still alive. But it was really strange as I remember being kinda down about it when I remember back that I thought he did die. Now oddly that he has for real it somehow impacted me less because of that experience

My first real memory of him is on a late 80s/early 90s rom-com sitcom called Anything But Love, I don't remember much except Lewis having really good hair, Jamie Lee Curtis was cute and the most sappy opening TV theme song I have ever heard.

Yep. Catcher. Tough mother too. Felix Millan thought he would be cute and punched Ott in the face. Ott picked him up and pretty much broke Millan in half. I don't think he ever played again afterwards.
