    Cali dropped death penalty, but it got re-instated. It would have been a continual appeals process. He ordered the hits, but he didn't execute them. He was hearing voices. Okay - Beatles records. A psychopath hearing voices who tells other psychos to conduct murder -- they would have to have subpoenaed John Lennon before putting Charlie in an ele ctric chair.

    Glad he didn't get the death penalty. 35 odd years of worthless, pointless living, instead of 18 months.

    if he got the death penalty I doubt very few people would still be talking about him today, as it is, his death was one of the stories in the news headlines on TV and articles on our 'news' online as well.

    His infamy lives on, which is what someone like him wants.

    No mention yet of David 'I think I love you' Cassidy passing on?

    The guy may have made shite music but in his day he got to screw whoever he wanted (and not in a Weinstein way)

    Aretha Franklin is still alive

    By Dianne de Guzman, SFGATE Updated 9:24 pm, Tuesday, November 21, 2017

    Aretha Franklin would like you all to know that she is very much alive, thank you.

    The singer issued a statement to Us Weekly Tuesday night, telling the entertainment magazine that the rumors of her death were untrue.

    "I'm doing well generally, all test have come back good," she said in an email to the magazine. "I've lost a lot of weight due to side effects of medicine, it affects your weight ... Thanxxxx for your concern."

    Franklin, 75, began trending on Twitter Tuesday morning when a fake Twitter account pretending to speak for the Queen of Soul announced that the singer had passed away late Monday night.

    "I played it for Crosby and he said, "Don't sing about that, it's not funny"."

    "He wasn't what you'd call a song-writer; he was more like a song-spewer."

    "When he got turned down, he got pisssed off. He didn't take rejection well."

    I was more surprised he was still alive, but Jim Nabors died today. "Gomer Pyle," AKA "Private Pyle," the original - not the "Full Metal Jacket" version. Nabors was 87. I seem to recall he had a post-career as a singer selling CDs on TV to your grandma. R.I.P.

    Don't worry about Ken.
    He was on his way to hell with the rest of the aussies and the big mitt of Colin Meads reached through the pearly gates, grabbed him by the leg, and hauled him in.
