A good film. Very enjoyable. In your estimation, what's the best movie directed by an actor.

A film that steve8 just discovered and enjoyed, Night of the Hunter. Unfortunately it did not get good reviews and was a flop so Charles Laughton never directed again.

I know it well.

Dallas Green - Manager of the 1980 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies!

Bluesman Lonnie Brooks. A very entertaining showman.

RIP. Love Stinks, Centerfold and Freeze Frame were integral tracks in my teenage years.

RIP. They were a fun live band. Saw them 3 times between 1977 and 1979.

RIP Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lots of great anecdotes about his demeanor. A model for all the sports team owners in how to conduct yourself and run a first class organization.

Allan Holdsworth, one of the greatest guitarists of all time

Ironically, he lived locally and played a date last Monday at a small club around the corner that we tried to go to but couldnt. I should have tried harder. It turned out to be his last
