Boom boom boom. RIP.

Ok, I'm half asleep and in a rush to get out the door for a monsoonal 5hr drive to New Jersey to see U2 again(why do I do this??).....what does Adrian Zmed have to do with John Lee Hooker?

I'm sure it will make more sense to me after I get some slepp some time this weekend.

RIP Johnny Lee and also Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker on All inthe Family) who also died last night.

Caroll O'Connor was superb as the general (who wasn't at all like Georgie Patton, honest) in "Kelly's Heroes". Archie Bunker was the US equivalent of Alf Garnet, even down to the blood transfusion storyline for those of yoy who also have no lives.

I saw him at Newcastle City Hall around 1968 or 9. Excellent. I remember his patter between the numbers was very good. "I was sittin' at the back of the bus - where I belong" etc. RIP.

also the loss of Carroll O'Connor better known as "Archie Bunker" from the 70's died last night. After the honeymooners finished, he was the next Ralph Cramden.

' can't imagine how you can make fun out of it? :-(

All you gotta do is listen to "BoobBoom" or "Dimples" and you'll realise what a loss this is!

- RIP, JLH

Adrian Zmed, for some little unconcious reason pisses me right off. Any one reckon he's got a smug we beayt yews face??

-- Anonymous, June 22, 2001

T.smith, I have to confess that it was the intensely smug and annoying characteristics of Mr Zmed which makes me remember his name all these years later......I am worried about my mental health :-0

Actually, I think Adrian does bear a slight, passing resemblance to Wor Rik.
