I'll fess up. While watching come of the classic Batman episodes, I googled to see if she ever did any work with less clothing on. She didn't, but a lot of the women that hung out with the villain of the week were in Playboy. It made sense because I heard Hugh Hefner somehow had ties the show.

RIP Wes Craven.

Man scared the bejesus out of me. In a great way.

Depending on who you listen to, Yogi Bera or Yogi Bear died.

Good thing he didn't get elected in 2008.

Screenwriter Melissa Mathison passed away last week. She was married to Harrison Ford and wrote E.T. with Spielberg.

I only discovered this because I was watching Gunman on Netflix and noticed Mark Rylance was in it and I had just seen him in Bridge of Spies. So I imdb'd him and saw he was in Spielberg's next movie The BFG. Which was written by Mathison. And it mentioned it was her final film.

That's a lot of famous shit for someone I had never heard of until her death was mentioned in the paper.

Scott Weiland and Robert Loggia.

Sorry for your loss bro. I'm sure, like the rest of us, you want to yell at him & tell him it's going to be too late if he doesn't clean up - but now we can't.

Scott Weiland

You asshole.


If the last 10+ years haven't killed him, then nothing can.

Motörhead Lead Singer Ian Fraser 'Lemmy' Kilmister Dead at Age 70 After Battle with An 'Extremely Aggressive' Cancer. Apparently he only learned that he had cancer on Saturday, two days after his 70th birthday and died Monday, two days after getting the bad news.

On a 1988 tour of Finland, Lemmy was asked by one journalist why he had kept going for so long.
"We're still here," he replied, "because we should have died a long time ago but we didn't."

Also Norman Schwarzkopf and the Globetrotters' Meadowlark. Not a good day.

"John "Brad" Bradbury, drummer with The Specials, has died at the age of 62. Bradbury joined The Specials in 1979, and continued with the re-versioned band The Special AKA, who had a top 10 hit with Free Nelson Mandela. The news comes three months after the band's trombonist, Rico Rodriguez, died."

Free Nelson mandela was affectionately known over here as 'Free Winnie's old fella'. When I was at boarding school, rather than prayers or a sermon from the school principle at assembly every morning we played pop records. I remember how odd it felt sitting on a marble floor in the main hall listening to the Specials Ghost town and Done Too Much. Weird start to the school day.
