I find it hard to believe  that a punk rocker remained married to the same woman for almost 50 years.

Hell,I have a hard time even believing a male punk rocker would even marry a woman. Seems counter to everything they believe in.

Johnny Rotten is a good guy underneath it all.    I remember back in the day he was the only one who dared speak up about Jimmy Savile at the BBC,   only after Jimmy's death did people find out the monster he really was.

May the Road Rise With You, John!

from Iggy Pop, to Alice Cooper, to Kiss, etc. etc.  in the world or rock and roll persona schitick often does not resemble it's purveyor in real life.

If you've watched any documentaries about the post-WWII war crimes trials, you know this man.

Ben Ferencz, last living Nuremberg prosecutor of Nazis, dies at 103
 By Associated Press   via NY Post
April 9, 2023 12:30am

Ben Ferencz, the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who tried Nazis for genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and concentration camps, has died. He had just turned 103 in March.

Ferencz died Friday evening in Boynton Beach, Florida, according to St. John’s University law professor John Barrett, who runs a blog about the Nuremberg trials.

The death also was confirmed by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.

“Today the world lost a leader in the quest for justice for victims of genocide and related crimes,” the museum tweeted.

Born in Transylvania in 1920, Ferencz immigrated as a very young boy with his parents to New York to escape rampant antisemitism. ...

Ben Ferencz was 27 years old during the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials.

"Born in Transylvania ....."

If you tried to make that up,no one would believe you.

Why, because you find the name of the country silly?

[mountaineer]

I enjoyed the interviews with him. Even in his (much) later years, he was sharp and insightful.

@GtHawk

Lighten up,Lucille!

Is it possible that you never saw ANY Vampire movies when you were a child?

Or ever saw "The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the lead actor (Rocky) singing about being from "Transsexual Transylvania"?  If not,I highly recommend it. It is freaking hilarious!

Of course I did Pete, I also probably know quite a bit more about great people born in Transylvania like Elie Wiesel , but I don't think I would use the Obit of someone with  Ferencz's history to take a shot at cheap humor....... well maybe....

Michael Lerner, ‘Barton Fink’ actor, dead at 81

By Tracy Wright, Fox News
April 9, 2023

Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Lerner died Saturday. He was 81.

His nephew, Sam Lerner, who starred on “The Goldbergs,” announced his death in an Instagram post shared Sunday afternoon.

“We lost a legend last night. It’s hard to put into words how brilliant my uncle Michael was, and how influential he was to me,” Sam wrote. “His stories always inspired me and made me fall in love with acting. He was the coolest, most confident, talented guy, and the fact that he was my blood will always make me feel special.”

Michael earned an Oscar nomination in 1991 for his role as Jack Lipnick in “Barton Fink.” He had nearly 200 credits to his name, including “Eight Men Out,” “Godzilla” and “X-Men: Days of Futures Past,” with three un-released projects in the works.
