It was a Monday and I was busy having a beer at the University pub after choir practice watching the football game when Howard Cosell interrupted the play by play to announce Lennon’s shooting.

I was also at University and I remember a totally outraged friend (who eventually became a judge) coming into the student Union cafeteria with steam coming out of his ears at the news.

SERIOUSLY: WTF?
Better monetize that and if the peeps get too riled about that, then weaponize it.

It already is sky rocketing, as are all the diseases caused by eating up the government and doctor recommended corporate diet.

Ok doood, really? Steam does NOT come out of people's ears in real life.

George Michael's sister Melanie dies aged 55 on Christmas Day exactly three years after her brother's death



George Michael's sister Melanie Panayiotou has died at the age of 55 exactly three years since his death on Christmas Day 2016 (pictured centre together in the early 1980s). The hairdresser was found by her older sister Yioda Panayiotou at her home in Hampstead, north west London, on Wednesday December 25. Melanie (left in 2017) had spoken proudly of her famous brother in November, telling The Big Issue about the release of the George-inspired Christmas movie Last Christmas. Her brother George was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day 2016, aged 53 (top-right together watching Live Aid at Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985). A subsequent autopsy later cited an enlarged heart and fatty liver as contributory factors in his death. A vast portion of his estate - which included a £97.6million fortune and a Grade II listed mansion in Highgate, North London - was left to his siblings, sisters Melanie and Yioda.
