Will Obastard be at the funeral snapping selfies again?

Most likely.

Were they made-for-tv movies? I enjoy a lot of made-for-tv movies but they probably are not usually, up to the standard of a major budget motion picture. Not that I'm a big fan of most of what Hollywood puts out now and for some time.

Both movies were theatrical releases, but the Carol Lynley version was in black and white and low budget.  The Carroll Baker version was in color and more extravagant, but overall not any better.

Per Kylie Rae Harris:

Back about 6 months ago, these two up-and-coming musicians from Liverpool England were killed in  (actually, one was from Liverpool, the other from Scandinavia but Liverpool was probably the "homebase"), Arizona, that accident was something like 4 am in the morning, definitely after midnight.  We are getting the initial story now, we might find out some things in the days to come.  I seriously doubt Kylie's car had any fault but we will see.

Her's band was the name of the band in the AZ. crash.

It happened to Johnny Horton, these kinds of accidents have happened to many.

More like "Sheriff believes she caused accident", tragic,  she clipped a car and somehow, that sent her into oncoming traffic. The driver of the other car, a HS student, Maria Elena Cruz, killed too. Short article:

On this day... 18 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

T. Boone Pickens
Former multibillionaire and oil baron dies at 91



In 1956, Pickens founded Mesa Petroleum. By the 1980s, Mesa had grown enough that it had the clout to begin corporate raiding, and he established a private equity fund in 1997 after his oil business went bust. Pickens was known for his aggressive attempts to corner markets and his net worth fluctuated wildly during his lifetime. As recently as 2007, Pickens was making billions of dollars in a single year, though he spent, lost and gave away much of that, such that he was down to $500 million in net worth by the time of his death from a series of strokes.

Daniel Johnston
Certified psychotic cult musician dies at 58



If ever there were an epitome of the idea of inexplicable acclaim, Daniel Johnston would probably be it. Landing in Austin, Texas after brief abortive stints in college, Johnston largely gained fame by distributing copies of his albums on the street, handing them out to passersby. Not much of Johnston's work was all that notable: most of it wasn't conventionally good, but it wasn't Shaggs-level "so hilariously bad it's good," either. In fact, most of it was, like his own personality, maddeningly inconsistent. Even so, by the 1990s Johnston had accrued a fan base that included just about every notable alternative musician of the era. His drawings, not much more than simple cartoons, got exposure in art galleries. By all conventional measures, Daniel Johnston should have never become famous... yet somehow he did.

Johnston had severe mental illness and was both bipolar and schizophrenic, which led to extended periods of being institutionalized. It was his physical health that had declined rapidly in the year prior to his death, including a fall and presumed heart troubles. He died at his home September 10.

Tiananmen Square Tank Man photographer Charlie Cole dies

The photographs of the Tiananmen Tank Man became some of the world's most famous

Charlie Cole, one of the photographers who captured the famous Tank Man on film during the Tiananmen Square protests, has died.

The image of one man standing in the way of a column of tanks, a day after hundreds possibly thousands of people died, has become a defining image of the 1989 pro-democracy protests.

Cole won the 1990 World Press Photo award for his picture.

@TomSea

IIRC,tank man was arrested and executed by the Chinese after the smoke cleared and the international press quit paying attention to what had happened in China that day.

China may no longer be a Communist country,but Fascism is still alive and well (?) there. Individualism and standing up against authority MUST be stamped out!

I watched actual film of the whole thing, maybe I can find it later. That man at the time, was whisked away by protesters, they got him out of there. Now, whether the man in the picture was later arrested, I have no idea as of now.

I think I've heard he was executed too for that matter. Maybe I wll look it up later.

Did know that Eddie Money was very ill and it didn't look good, but still his passing was a bit of a surprise for some reason.  Loved his music and very sorry to see him go. 

Rest in peace., Eddie.

That was a performance on Solid Gold.  Solid Gold had a lot of bad lip synching.  Maybe this one is better?  From the David Letterman show in 1988:

I know he'd been fighting cancer but this is a surprise.

About 5 years ago he came to perform at an outdoor event in our area.  I was very disappointed. He had to be helped onto stage as he could barely stand up.  Was escorted off the stage minutes later and returned to the stage after about a 15 minute wait.  He obviously still was in no shape to perform played a couple of songs (shortened versions at best) and left the stage for the night. 

Perhaps he was on meds then??  Who knows.  He was definitely under the influence of something.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
