As 1970 rolled in, the winds of change were blowing over all of us, some riding the waves, some not. I was at work (at Elektra), when Paul Rothchild arrived from the downstairs garage. It was mid-afternoon on a Friday, far as I recall. I went to Sunset Sound, where... Continue reading

Those were high times in the music business, and Elektra/Asylum, the record company combination of the skills of label heads Jac Holzman (Elektra) and thereafter David Geffen (Asylum) handled a successful stable...

The dementia has turned out to be Lyme disease; such a relief for his family and friends. Kris is coming back to his old self. It would've been a cruel sentence for someone renowned for his intelligence, to wander about in a mental fog, struggling to put the ends together... Continue reading

UPDATE: The very brief hearing on May 4 resulted in the appointment of the Petitioner as a temporary conservator, permitting her to communicate with Joni's medical providers and to try and figure out what to do next. Joni has a court-appointed attorney, who will presumably work with the conservator with... Continue reading

Congratulations to David Rose of the Mail on Sunday who has finally turned the tables on the compo crooks, cantering around the estate of Jimmy Savile, waiting for the big pay-off. False claim against the Savile Estate. Big ol' oopsie - the great-niece who made up a series of whoppers... Continue reading

A public outcry against the sleazy treatment of Cliff Richard, by both the police, the BBC, and whatever 'informant' was involved in leaking details of the police raid to the BBC has resulted in hundreds of complaints being received by the BBC regarding their presence at a police investigation at...

Eric, when "Paul"'s comment caught my eye on the Raccoon blog, I was very impressed with his incisive analysis, hence my reproducing it over here as part of my post. True, these are the same folks who used to, in the past, stand goggle-eyed and thrilled at the foot of the scaffold during the Tyburn days. They have not evolved much since then, obviously.

When I was young and living in England, Cliff and The Shadows were worthy competitors in the world music arena. Cliff was a very good vocalist, merged well with his band, but unlike the Beatles, couldn't conquer the American market. The Beatles had a clearly-stated political position, they were pretty...

I've been a bit absent from commenting on the sturm and drang of the Savile situation, but now reports are available regarding his alleged predatory behavior at a slew of hospitals, the procuring of knuckle-duster rings from a barrow in London, allegedly a glass eye from a corpse, I kid...

The indefatigable Anna Raccoon blog has broken an important story in the Savile saga, which continues to keep the UK legal community, social media, the MSM, various other opportunists,and the British police continually on their toes since Jimmy Savile died in 2011.

MP Nigel Evans has now joined the growing list of falsely accused sex offenders, and has been acquitted of all charges brought against him by seven men, all of whom should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for ever agreeing to participate. Nigel Evans acquitted of all charges. Again, this is... Continue reading

On April 9, 2014, in a bombshell announcement, the significance of which was probably missed by most of the population of the world, including its home base, England and Wales, ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers), has announced it will dissolve the organization, effective immediately. It's Game Over (Photo: Sir... Continue reading

Recently an investigation into rape accusations by a 13 year old girl in the UK was halted when the girl admitted to lying. After costing the local tax payers quite a few quid, she will not be charged for this time-wasting nonsense. Sussex police drop investigation costing thousands of pounds... Continue reading

The Max Clifford trial. Well, at least he's getting one, and it's mostly nonsense, as might be expected. Seems to be mostly about penis size and obscure Wimpy bars at the moment, while the usual crew of dodgy claimants contradict each other's testimony. Max, a heavy pitchman since the 60s,...

Gloria was made of sterner stuff than L'Wren, and she'd made a name for herself off her own bat. I think L'Wren might have been concerned about turning 50 as well, and still no offer of marriage from Mick after all that time. Sad way to end things.
Thank you, Peezedtee!

In what is looking like even more light at the end of the celebrity witch-hunt tunnel, Liverpool-born comedian Jimmy Tarbuck, generally known to his friends as Tarby, was released from bail without any charges for child abuse, after nearly a year of suspense. The North Yorkshire police, who were investigating... Continue reading

It's probably redundant to note that the world today is obsessed with fame. Having the paparazzi in hot pursuit, finding your face plastered over just about every form of media, having your own 'reality' television show is the dernier cri of the hoi polloi. At one time, you had to... Continue reading

Maddie New clues in McCann disappearance . Resolutely, the MSM does nothing more than support reports of a mystery man, of Mediterranean heritage ('tanned') wearing a shirt that appears to be an official Arsenal garment. Well, that eliminates about 10% of the male population of Portugal and surrounding countries; at... Continue reading
