JEFF'S GONE...

OUR GOOD FRIEND JEFF CONAWAY PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING. JEFF WAS A VERY TALENTED ACTOR - HE IS AWESOME IN GREASE - AND HE WAS GREAT IN TAXI, PLAYING AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CHARACTER.

WE ALL HAVE OUR DEMONS, JEFF PROBABLY HAD MORE THAN MOST -THE DEMONS SHOW US LITTLE MERCY.

GOOD LUCK JEFF, WHEREVER YOU ARE NOW - WE ALL LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU.

YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS, EDDIE.

A NOTE ABOUT JEFF CONAWAY

 
I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL VERY NICE E-MAILS ASKING ABOUT JEFF CONAWAY AND EXPRESSING CONCERN - THANK YOU. MANY PEOPLE ARE PRAYING FOR JEFF, I'M SURE HE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

BARRY PEARL, WHO WAS ALSO IN GREASE, HAD BEEN KEEPING US ALL POSTED SINCE MONDAY, BUT AT THIS TIME, I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING MORE ABOUT JEFF'S CONDITION THAN WHAT WE'VE ALL SEEN ON THE NEWS. JEFF IS A WONDERFUL GUY, A FRIEND, I HAVE KNOWN AND LOVED HIM FOR AROUND 33 YEARS NOW.

I THINK EVERY ONE OF US HAVE GONE THROUGH TOUGH PERIODS OF PHYSICAL AND/OR SPIRITUAL ANGUISH AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIVES. THEY ARE, OF COURSE, SYMBIOTIC, AND JEFF IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH BOTH. WE ARE ALL HOPING JEFF WILL PULL THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES AND MAKE A COMEBACK - ALL OF OUR THOUGHTS AND LOVE GO OUT TO HIM.

THANKS,

EDDIE

THE BEATLES ON "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW"

 
ON FEBRUARY 9, 1964, THE BEATLES MADE THEIR AMERICAN TELEVISION DEBUT ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW.

(FOR THOSE OF YOU UNFAMILIAR, THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW WAS A HUGELY POPULAR, LEGENDARY VARIETY SHOW WHICH RAN IN AMERICA FROM 1948 TO 1973. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE AMERICAN IDOL OR DANCING WITH THE STARS, AND MULTIPLY IT BY 20, THAT IS HOW POPULAR THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW WAS IN THE 1960'S. PRETTY MUCH "EVERYONE" WATCHED THE SHOW).

The folks over at MentalFlosss.com have asked me to write a column for them. Here's my first article - as you might expect, it's about The Beatles.
