Tommy Russell/Cobain Conspiracy?

Greetings!

>No, I'm sorry, the TOMMY film may have some bad moments, but
>overall, it's a freaky fucking touching movie.

Freaky ain't the half of it Scott.  I believe that Ken ("all those crappy
people") Russell was given complete creative control for the film and what a
mistake that was.  But it's worth watching now and again for various reasons
(see below).

>No, mc, I've always hated it, it's a fuckin' cartoon.

I'm with AEB here.  Johnny Quest as Tommy, Bugs Bunny (in drag of course) as
Tommy's Mother, Yosemite Sam as Tommy's Father, and Elmer Fudd as the Acid
"Qween".  Actually, the movie has some good points.  Keith Moon for example.
I liked anything Keith was in just because he was in it; even Zappa's weirdo
flick.  And any movie that has a Who smash 'em up, is okay for that only.  But
that only.  I love Nicholson, but he never should sing again - even in the
shower.

>We can, I'll even start drinkin' again!!

>Yeah, wasn't there a book written that said El Duce from The Mentors
>killed him or had him killed?  And then, mysteriously, El Duce himself
>died a short time later.  And implications that Courtney Love was involved.

Wow.  This rumor is something I never heard before.  I think just being a
junkie and marrying Courtney Love is the same as putting a loaded shotgun in
your mouth, but I never heard the rumor that she might've been involved in
whacking him.  Weird.  Does this mean that Ernest Hemmingway dated Courtney?
I agree Scotty old boy, "rubbish".

I bet AEB had something to do with it.  Grassy knoll and all...

That reminds me of the Brian Jones murder story, of which there's some serious
validity.  The story goes, that Jones had some concrete workers over that
night, who had been refinishing some masonry at his estate.  There is a
mystery "witness" who claims that the workers got very drunk and hung around
after the party to abuse "pretty boy" Brian Jones.  They were roughing him up
in the pool, dunking him under and such, and it got out of hand.  According to
the legend, Brian drowned because the workers held him under water too long.
Spooky.

Ha!  Weren't we just recently discussing drug abuse?  Somebody is REALLY
stoned...
