We've still got all his wonderful music that he left behind...

The Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane (Full Version)

^ Last verse:


Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work. Just watch me now
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush
And that, life is, just to die
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh
That wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa
And wouldn't turn around and hate it


^ Poetry

I just looked up Rock 'n' Roll in the dictionary and it just had this photo...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 took the name for the Satellite of Love from a Lou Reed song. The cast even sang it once in the early days.

Lou sang possibly the best song on the entire Rock and Rule soundtrack.

He also made one of the most disturbing music videos of the 80's for No Money Down, but I can't find it on youtube.

Liberty is an abstract concept. It cannot die.

No problem, it's just that

  1. I'm not that familiar with the prequels
  2. This thread is usually one of the "serious" ones
  3. I'm a literal git.

Kenneth Kendall 88.

Not content with being one of the most prominent newsreaders in the real world, he carried his talents over to Doctor Who (The War Machines), a rather brilliant episode of Adam Adamant Lives! and some space film or another directed by Stanley Kubrick.

 

I rather enjoyed him being the calm gentle hand guiding Anneka Rice's bottom from one clue to another remotely on Treasure Hunt.

He also appeared in that programme I mentioned earlier with Derek Jameson (also of this thread) where he was encouraged to get another dog after being too upset after the loss of his previous pet.

Readers of this organ will possibly be interested to note he was also a keen keeper of bees.

A tragic sequel.

Makes you hope there is some sort of heaven for reunions.

EDIT: Burt Reynolds Is ALIVE!

Seems I fell for a hoax.

Burt... one hell of a guy who knew what he had and didn't mind who he shared it with.

The moustache will live on... on Tom Selleck's upper lip.

It's sad how easy fake internet death notices go viral.

On the flip side, thanks to People magazine's premature obit in the 80's, nobody will ever believe it when Abe Vigoda finally goes to big police precinct in the sky.

The manner of his death renders much of his film work inappropriate to show in the months after his death, he even had one of those Fast and Furious films in the can waiting for release but will it see the light of day?

Jean Kent 92 was blessed with a much more varied collection of roles.

It's ghoulish of CNN to show the flaming wreckage over and over.

Maybe Fast and Furious ∞ will get a release after all if civilisation has sunk that far... heck maybe it will even get a sequel with some flamboyant title.
