He obviously means all purveyors of dairy products. Who would that be? "Cheese's christ"? The Feta, the Stilton, and the Halloumi Ghost

R. I. P. Trini Lopez. Lopez's music was a formative part of my childhood. Mom absolutely loved him and his Greatest Hits album was in near constant play. He was also in The Dirty Dozen, which is one of my most-watched films of all time. Frank Sinatra was a big fan and personally signed Lopez to his Reprise label after seeing Lopez performing at PJ's nightclub. He also had one of the most beautiful signature guitars ever...the Gibson Trini Lopez is a masterwork, especially in sunburst. A picture of him with some unknown blokes.

^ Folks Martin Birch produced in a way I appreciate a lot: Faces, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac, Rainbow, Wayne County, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath. Sometimes his production is the only version I have liked, plus I even liked Iron Maiden when he was involved, so I guess he had something going on. On to the big gig/party in the sky, or whatever.

Supposedly Lopez's agent attempted to negotiate for more money partway through the shooting of The Dirty Dozen. The producers responded by dropping Lopez and having his character killed off-screen during the parachute drop. Lopez, who was unaware of his agent's actions, was furious when he found out, as this had been his biggest acting role to date. This pretty much killed his budding acting career and he stuck to music after this.

RIP Sumner Redstone. He was 97. I used to work for one of his companies (National Amusements) when I was at university in Boston. No one who had any interactions with him had much good to say about it, but he has made a huge impact on the entertainment industry and employed a lot of people over the years.

I only watched The Dirty Dozen for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I thought that bit of the film was weird. Like, they all make the drop behind enemy lines and somebody says, "Hey, where's Jimenez?", and another character answers, "Oh, we found him hanging in a tree, dead" or words to that effect. At the time I raised an eyebrow and thought "wow, crappy death scene, man." Now I know why.

Interestingly Lopez was one of the better known of the Dozen at the time because of his singing career. The abrupt end of his time on the movie did not do his acting career any favors though he did a couple guest spots on Adam-12 and one on the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.

Fine actor. Also played Captain Nemo in one of a pair of Nemo films that came out on cable, in the 90s.
In 1984, he appeared in an American Express commercial, with Jackson Scholz, then-87, who was part of the 1924 American Olympic team, as featured in Chariots of Fire.

RIP Ron "Rontrose" Heathman from the Supersuckers. I saw him play a bunch in the 1990's.

Another punk icon died this week. Walter Lure - he played with Johnny Thunders in his post New York Dolls band The Heartbreakers (no, not the Tom Petty outfit) among other projects. I was lucky enough to book a show with him last year
