He texted me yesterday to tell me Rodruigez had died, and said we should re-watch the Sugarman film. Definitely, I said, next time you come round we'll watch it. And then we can watch that The Last Waltz DVD, he said, it'll be a cool double-bill.
Anyway, he then of course texted me first thing this morning about Robbie Robertson. Best not suggest anything else for a triple-bill...

If you've never seen the film, you really ought to. And if you've never listened to his albums then you should do that as well.

I'm not getting it on there, or if do its only 1080p which i'll not bother with. Apparently its on Netflix so will watch it later.
Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
I was gonna suggest Netflix, and I'm sure it was on there for years, but I did look earlier and think it's not anymore.

Within 5 seconds the missus said she'd seen it but happy to watch again.
After 10 mins I bailed out. Just a documentary with dull folk talking.
It assumed you knew a lot about him before you watched it. Fail.

Re: Just Dead Celebrity Express Thread !
Did you never watch TV until a few years ago?
Even in 625 'SD' days, that wasn't what you got to see. The top lines were for teletext, then they often 'overblanked' the rest.
Even bland can be a type of character

Don't suppose it would've made the news if they'd died in their sleep or anything, but a gruesome death is always going to.Mussels wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 10:01 pm Looks like C list celebrity parents now count as celebrities themselves.

I reckon he was flying home in order to stand precariously close to an open window in a high-rise building.Yorick wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 8:48 pmThe Ruskies gave him 2 billion dollars to pay his army.gremlin wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 8:36 pm Boss of Wagner, apparently.

Place your bets.
1. He was on the plane.
2. He wasn't on the plane.
3. There were no high ranking Wagner people on it.
I'd be a bit surprised if he was dim enough to load up a plane with him and other top Wagner boys and fly across Russia. Even an outfit like BP won't let too many execs get on one civilian flight.
Coincidentally the Bellingcat Russian expert said, in the FT a couple of weeks ago, that either Prigozhin or Putin would be 'out of action' within the calendar year.

It's a funny old world where Prigozhin is considered a celebrity.
