Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
There was a really good documentary on one of the minor channels last year, but donkey's year old, maybe around 2000-ish, with interviews with Meatloaf, Steinman, Karla DeVito (?) and others, called 'Classic Albums: Bat out of Hell' or such like. I've tried to Google it for a link, but no joy. Maybe have a search on Sky to see if it's available if you fancy watching it.

I like these threads, you spend a lifetime writing songs and being acclaimed, and for what? So a bunch of people can make cheap jokes when you die.

The Tubes reminds me of this - White Punks on Dope is a proper classic.

It was found they were owed millions. Went to court a couple of years ago. They got a pittance each after all the legal shit.

Had about 5 minutes of verbal interaction with her about 12 years ago. I couldn't really use the word *conversation*, Batshitcrazy, incoherant & strung out on "something" doesn't even come close to describing her efforts at communication.

Charles Grodin died yesterday. Wasn't in a huge number of films, but was in one of my favourite (and most underrated) 80s movies Midnight Run. In which he's also excellent.
