BERIGAN

No, I was just joking (Up to a point) Most of his views were in line with most of the folks here, with the one very big exception! I really don't think I was the first to think of this, (But just in case...Berigan's ®'ed theory) If you go far enough to the right, or to left, you end up meeting your "enemy". People like Pat Buchanan, and Che would no doubt talk your ears off about how Jews rule the world, and whip out a list from the internet to "prove" it.

Nope, it's gonna be the St. Louis Browns...

Would this have to do with his political preferences? Yes, not liberal enough!

BBC asks long-dead Bob Marley for interview 2 hours, 30 minutes ago LONDON (AFP) - A red-faced BBC apologised for requesting an interview with Bob Marley, the Jamaican reggae legend who died 24 years ago. AFP/fILE Photo BBC Three, one of the public broadcaster's digital TV channels, sent an e-mail to the Bob Marley Foundation saying it wanted to do a documentary about his hit song "No Woman No Cry". It said the project would involve Marley -- who died of cancer in May 1981 at the age of 36 -- "spending one or two days with us", and that "it would only work with some participation from Bob Marley himself". In a statement, the BBC said: "We are obviously very embarrassed that we didn't realise that the letter to the Marley Foundation did not acknowledge that Mr Marley is no longer with us." Marley would have been 60 last February 6, a date that was celebrated with great fanfare by his legion of fans worldwide. A BBC press officer, contacted by AFP in London on Friday, confirmed that the gaffe was not an April Fool's joke http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ifestylebritain

Seems that males of a certain age were quite impressed/scared by this film....ad my name to it...I don't know if TCM ran it or not, but they had short behind the scenes film on it with a very young looking (he was 30)Michael Crichton on directing this film....

In knew it!!!!

I'm not sure this is such a stupid question when you consider the process involved with appointing a new pope. Well, I'm with Chris this time...he has been quite ill for quite some time, they have to be prepared at this time...

Some Hellishly cheap prices on Warner box sets at deepdiscountdvd.com right now! http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/studio.cfm?mainStudioid=4

You know, I even wondered if Parker had possibly been around at that time as well! I don't think it sounds that much like Bird, but Tenor Vs. Alto might explain that....a bit....

Thanks for digging Ghost! Yeah, I have heard Turn Right on that GRP cd (One of my favorite cds) Some of the last tracks are very different sounding than most of J.D.'s recordings. I have a few other cds of his,(Both Circles) but I'll have to listen to them again before recommending any of them to you. What do you have the live 43 track on, cd or lp??? And yes, where is Classics with his output? Yes, a fair number of vocals, and commercial stuff, but great solos abound on what I have heard......

Anyone else NOT agree with this opinion? No, I also don't agree with it (if that indeed is what you're asking! ). I agree except for the last sentence, however. I don't think the race of the lawyer mattered as much as the race of the defendant and victims. I don't agree. I grew up with OJ as a hero. He wasn't black to me, he was OJ; running down the fields and through airports. I thought it was great that he was in the Naked Gun movies. It was freakin' OJ. He was a real hero to me. I remember the shock as this all went down. I couldn't believe OJ could do this. I actually saw the low-speed Bronco chase. I raced home after and watched the rest on TV. I was deeply saddened by all this. I watched as much of the trial as I could. I don't care if his victims were white. I care that he created victims in the first place, by taking a knife and violently ending their lives. Exactly! I felt terrible for him when I first heard the story!(I knew of him more from Hertz ads and movies like Towering Inferno, than as a football player, but had seen a game on tv at the end of his career) I thought, his former wife had been murdered, the mother of his children, what a horrible ordeal. I could NOT believe he did it...I figured out pretty quickly he did do it. That glove thing drove me nuts!!! A friend pointed out blood would make it shrink. My point was that they put a latex glove on his hand first, he did not put it on all the way to make sure the leather glove would not fit. Johnny Cochran made sure of it. Didn't a former wife/gal pal of Cochran say Cochran beat her???

It's a CORONET!!!!

My Dad tells the tale of renting one of those in either L.A. or San Diego, when Hertz had these Hurst machines for rent...and how cops where behind him almost the whole time he drove the thing, never could really get on it!

Thought it had been decided before the trial that that would NOT be allowed!!! Judge Allows Past Jackson Allegations SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) - The judge in Michael Jackson's child molestation trial ruled Monday that the prosecution may present testimony about past allegations against the pop star involving five boys, including two who reached multimillion-dollar civil settlements with the singer. Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville ruled after hearing arguments by District Attorney Tom Sneddon and vigorous opposition by defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. The judge said he would allow testimony about alleged sexual offenses and an alleged pattern of "grooming," or preparing the boys for molestation. The prosecution had sought to introduce testimony about seven boys, but the judge declined to allow evidence about two. (AP) Michael Jackson, background, follows his mother Katherine ,foreground, and father Joe,left, into... Full Image The judge said he would allow testimony by a 1990 accuser who received a $2.4 million settlement from Jackson and testimony by that boy's mother. A boy who reached a multimillion-dollar settlement from Jackson in 1993 will not testify. Other testimony will be allowed from people who allegedly have knowledge of the case. The judge said the jury can be told that Jackson reached settlements with the 1990 and 1993 accusers but may not be told the amounts, unless the defense brings them up. It was unclear exactly what Jackson was accused of doing with each of the five boys, although the 1993 accuser did claim repeated molestation, and Sneddon said in court Monday that the boy in the 1990 case was touched twice over his clothes and once under his clothes. Jackson's lawyer fought the admission of evidence about so-called past similar acts, saying it was based on third parties, many of whom were after Jackson's money. (AP) Michael Jackson enters the Santa Barbara County Courthouse with his father Joe, right, and his... Full Image "How can you just allow a parade of third-party characters to come in without any victims?" Mesereau asked during arguments. Sneddon, seeking to use past allegations to buttress the credibility of Jackson's current accuser, said the testimony of other witnesses will show that Jackson has a consistent pattern of abuse. The prosecutor told the judge that Jackson was observed inappropriately touching four children. The alleged touching included kissing, hugging and inserting his hand into children's pants, he said. "All of these children are basically within the ages of 10 and 13" at the time of the alleged offenses, Sneddon said. The district attorney also said that testimony would include Jackson being seen in bed with four children while the underwear of the children and Jackson was at the side of the bed. (AP) Comedian George Lopez and his wife Ann enter the Santa Barbara County Courthouse to testify in the... Full Image In his arguments, Sneddon noted that in the defense opening statement Mesereau listed gifts Jackson purchased for the current accuser's mother. Sneddon said Jackson has a pattern of buying gifts for the mothers of boys to keep them preoccupied. Mesereau told the judge that the defense would put on a "mini trial" on each allegation that was allowed in. He had urged the judge to consider the evidence that has been presented so far on the current charges against Jackson. "You have to consider what the case looks like," he said. "It looks real bad and it's going to get worse. You can't stop the defense from putting on a full-blown defense and I mean just that." Mesereau said that among the alleged victims that the prosecutoin would bring in by reference would be Macaulay Culkin, who he said has always denied that anything improper happened to him while with Jackson. "There's Macaulay Culkin who has repeatedly said he was never molested," Mesereau said. He referred to some of Sneddon's third-party witnesses as "the gang." The reference was to former Jackson employees who sued the singer in the past and lost, and were then ordered to pay the singer $1 million in damages. Mesereau also said it would be unfair to have others testify about the 1993 case without putting that accuser on the stand. Mesereau asserted that the 1993 accuser's father and stepfather filed numerous lawsuits against Jackson to get money from him. In his current trial, Jackson, 46, is accused of a then-13-year-old boy at Neverland in February or March 2003, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy's family captive to get them to make a video rebutting a documentary in which Jackson said he let children sleep in his bed. The singer said it was non-sexual. The ruling came a day after Jackson declared his innocence in an interview with the Rev. Jesse Jackson and said he considers himself the latest of several "black luminaries" to be unjustly accused, citing former South African President Nelson Mandela and former boxing champions Muhammad Ali and Jack Johnson as others. In the interview broadcast on radio stations and the Internet, Jackson also asked fans to pray for him, said he was currently in "the lowest point emotionally" of his life. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050328/D8947HN81.html

Good, now I don't have to fast forward thru a 2 hour tape looking for an old guy on a trombone!

Sad, didn't hear one word of this till I stumbled onto this thread.... I'll always remember the Charlie commericals!

I've read that Coleman Hawkins perferred classical music to listen to away from work...who else have you heard was into classical music???

Interesting, I don't know the name, but must have some of his work on cd, will have to dig!!!! I think you can toss Jimmy Dorsey in the group you mentioned in that timeframe...

Exactly. I'm glad I held onto the original as well...

I recall in the Bix Documentary an old guy playing trombone to an old record...crap,was it Jean Goldkette member, or Whiteman member??? I'll dig the tape up later today and see who dat was...

Quit badmouthing Edsels!!!! Ok, they weren't pretty, but they are now worth some money...I dig those crazy dashes...wasn't just Chrysler that did the pushbutton transmisson...and the drum like speedo, neato!

Are you sure? The Criterion people told me that they obtained the rights from Stanley Donen. Perhaps they got the rights to the original negatives from Stanley Donan??? The only film I had heard of having the rights bought back was It's a Wonderful Life by NBC/Republic...But it may have happened with Charade...just couldn't find info.... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-h...8602282-4872952

Charade was remade, the new film was called The Truth About Charlie, directed by Jonathan Demme. The dvd set has the original as well, don't know the quality of that edition though..Charade is sadly in the public domain now..... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...8602282-4872952

Well, sold the 1970 Buick Wildcat last year. Loved it, but really hated feeling I was running the miles up on it.(Had 54,000 when I sold it) Someone offered me 4K for a 4 door, so I had to jump at it. Miss it though! So, I bought a 1969 LeSabre soon afterwards! Not nearly as nice, 102,000 on it. Seats need to be recovered, top is crap, a little rust under it. But, mechanically, it is great! And only cost $1526, (Ebay again!) the little buick 350 4 Barrel(quadrajets rule daddy-o!) gets up to 20 MPG, which is nearly double what the Mark V above gets! Hope to be able to fix 'er up someday.

Gosh, this thread has been resting for too long!!! This is my first "Ford" a 1979 Mark V Continental. (The word Lincoln is not on the car) Got it last May.400 C.I. 2 barrel, yet the mileage is no better than my '71 Cadillac with a 472 4 barrel! White leather seats, most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, in a car that is.... I have since found hubcaps......need to replace top.
