Died Jan. 9 but not reported until now. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/04/entertainment/actress-melinda-dillon-obit-christmas-story-trnd/index.html I was just reading a story about how Bruce Boudreau's apartment was used for the scene in Slapshot where Paul Newman is trying to get some sleep but keeps getting interrupted. The director wanted to keep the apartment "as authentic as possible to what a player's apartment would look like" and so even left the Canadian flag on the wall that you clearly see taped over the bed. It's never mentioned in the movie whether Paul Newman (Reg Dunlop) is actually Canadian, so I was curious as to why the Canadian flag appears in that scene, and now I know why.

kelownabomberfan Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Longtime CBC journalist, editor dead after random assault in Toronto | Globalnews.ca I think this announcement slipped through Iheart's net as I didn't see it posted anywhere, if it was I apologize. Pretty sad - guy is walking down the street in Toronto and gets randomly assaulted. What is going on in Toronto?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what he did, Lanny had nowhere near the popularity of Randy. Which is ironic because earlier in their careers (pre-WWF), it was the reverse. Lanny was pushed as the star while Randy was more of an enforcer-type guy. Vince did Lanny no favors by sticking him with the "Leaping Lanny" gimmick. The Genius was an upgrade of that character and Lanny played it well, but it was never going to be anything more than a lower/mid-card role.

Brandon Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Is it more sad that Lanny is more remembered about his backstage flexibility trick and doing a fake shoot with Hannibal then his accomplishments in the ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Burt Bacharach MADE Dionne Warwick. Every one of her hits in the 60's & 70's were his songs. She'd have been another struggling singer without him. Do You know The Way To San Jose? Walk On By I Say A Little Prayer You'll Never Get To Heaven Let Me Go To Him I'll Never Fall In Love Again Alfie Don't Go Breaking My Heart This Girl's In Love With You Trains, Boats & Planes Message To Michael Reach Out For Me Promises, Promises Just ridiculous.....

iHeart Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 it's an amazing Library of songs he had and to think had 1776 missed the 1969 Tony Awards Deadline Promises, Promises probably would have won (but it was also up against Hair and Zorba) Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Anyone who only knows him from Austin Powers is missing a lot. He was a giant in the songwriting business for 3 decades. Many songs you know as someone else’s were actually written by him. Here is a good obit that breaks down just how much he added to the music industry in his time. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/entertainment/burt-bacharach-death/index.html Fatty Liver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she didn't collaborate on any of them. Bacharach co wrote all his songs with Hal David. They were a team. All their songs were copyrighted with just their names. Warwick had no writing credits. They picked her to sing their songs. She would have had to audition along with other singers. Warwick was a huge talent as a singer but not as a writer. Sort of why Paul Simon sold his book of songs including any S & G for half a billion dollars to Sony Music in 2021 & Art Garfunkel got nothing. The real money is in the writing of the songs but not the singing. Although Warwick was well paid through her career.

It's not racist. It's copyright. What about Simon & Garfunkel? Two white dudes. Garfunkel didn't write one song. Paul Simon wrote all of them. And he was paid for it. Simon sold his book of songs to Sony Music for half a billion dollars while Garfunkel got nothing. And Simon wouldn't pay him a penny. The Eagles. Four white dudes. Guitarist Don Felder wanted all monies split evenly. Don Henley & Glenn Frey said **** that. After lots of srguing & legal wrangling, Felder was tossed out of the band on his ass. He never received writing royalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
