Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !

Paradise by the Dashboard Light has always been mine and Mrs W’s ‘song’.

I’ve just told her Jim Steinman had died and she said ‘Who?’.

Which part, the bit where he'll say absolutely anything to get a shag or the bit where he wishes for the end of time so he can end his time with her?

Or was it the baseball commentary?

A lot of Brits were au fait with Yankee slang even in 1977BG (Before Grease)

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.

I had no idea who he was until he died and I wouldn't have known him in the street if he poked me in the eye - which is pretty much my goal - to have a shitload of money and the freedom to do whatever you want and go wherever you want, but no one has a clue who you are.

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

M: Oh no! He was responsible for one of my all time favourite albums!

Me: You took the words right out of my mouth!

It must have been when M: was kissing you

I saw a program a while ago investigating where the millions went.
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.
