Remembering Vic Flick and two drummers for The Bee Gees

Here is my combined remembrance of three entertainers we lost:

Remembering Vic Flick 1937-2024

Guitarist Vic Flick has died at 87. He is forever known for being the guitarist on the legendary "James Bond Theme" by John Barry & Orchestra. How iconic is that guitar in the history of film, music and pop culture? The answer: very! There's a good documentary The Sound of 007 about the music of James Bond movies and he appears in too.

Flick circa 1960s

He played with a number of musicians including Dusty Springfield (that's him on "I Only Want to Be with You"), Tom Jones (that's him on "It's Not Unusual"), and The Bee Gees (that's him on "Spicks and Specks").

He also played guitar on The Beatles' song "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" orchestrated by George Martin and featured in A Hard Days Night. Years later he played on Paul McCartney's 1977 album Thrillington done under the name Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. Kind of an unsung hero of Beatle collaborators!

Remembering Dennis Byron 1949-2024 and Colin "Smiley" Petersen 1946-2024

In a strange coincidence, two former drummers for The Bee Gees have both passed away this month: Dennis Byron at 75 and Colin "Smiley" Petersen at 78.

Petersen was the drummer for pop group from 1967-1969. That's him on "To Love Somebody"! Byron was their drummer from 1973 to 1981. That's him on their magnum opus Saturday Night Fever soundtrack!

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 107... You have been warned...! 👌

[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]

OH MY GOODNESS! 😱 THE ENDING OF THIS CHAPTER, DUDE!!! 😵

For what seemed like just a fun little chapter, learned quite a bit of things and possibly a hint to a major reveal...!! 😲 So let's talk about it, shall we...? 😁

In today's chapter, we are back with the Forgers this time around, but this time... WE AT THE ANNUAL SHEEP FESTIVAL!!! 🐑😆

But in actuality, Twilight only brought the family here because the Lady Patriots Society were the ones to put this festival together, which means... Plan C, a.k.a. The Mommy Friendship Scheme is what Twilight is hoping to progress...!! 👌😌 But of course, that only makes Anya think about THIS:

ANYA, YOU ABSOLUTE NUTTY GIRL!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Never change Anya, never change...!! 👌😌

After Anya's tomfoolery, we see that Damian, Ewen and Emile are with Jeeves and the other butlers are also at the festival...!! 😄:

But they aren't the only ones to show up at this festival of sheeps... 😁 In fact, we get to see the Blackbells (now including Becky's mom 😆), the Watkins (Bill's dad is officially in the manga now 😎) and the Gloomans (though, we've already seen George's dad 😅); and of course, Twilight goes "Straight To Work" as Anya's puts it...!! 👌😌

Not to mention, we also learn the names of Becky's, Bill's and George's dads' names!! 😆 (Byron Blackbell, Wesley Watkins, and Dennis Glooman to be exact...!! 😁)

After that, some people start recognizing Anya, Damian and Becky (and most likely Bill as well) for their brave and heroic actions all the way back in the Hijacking arc...!! 😄

While Twilight on the other hand is loosing his mind over how much information he could possibly get these people as well...!! 🕵 (Oh Twilight... Always thinking of his spy work... 👌😌)

Soon after that, Damian challenges Anya to a game of ring toss and says that if she loses, he wants her to leave the festival. And so, the game was on...!! 😄

I really love this image of the Eden kids just having fun, it truly warms my heart...! 🤗 (even if Damian got hit in the face thanks to Anya...! 😌)

While the kids are still competing with each other, Jeeves starts talking about his hopes for the children...:

Then, we see Twilight look towards Anya and say this in his head...:

This definitely makes me think that Twilight is feeling more and more guilty for using Anya for his mission... 😔

After that, Damian wins the ring toss and tells Anya that she has leave now...! Buuut, she starts crying and Damian changes his mind about making her leave, which makes Anya (and Twilight) happy...!! 😄 Then, Becky suggests that her and Anya should go to this hall of clairvoyants, where Becky mentions that the clairvoyants could probably tell how compatible someone is with their lover, which makes Damian not want to go in there at all...!! 😆 So Becky, Anya, Yor and Mathra head in to get there fortune read, while everyone goes elsewhere (including Twilight who is going drinking with the boys 😎👍).

Once inside, there's a huge line for someone named Magical 🌟 Crowley, which if I remember correctly, Crowley is the same last name as that triangle shaped haired kid that got the highest score on classical language while Anya got the second highest score... Hmmm, interesting... 🤔 Anyway, instead of going to Crowley's booth (which was charging up the wazoo), Anya suggests that they should just go see LunaLuna 🌙 Selena, but Becky doesn't like that she doesn't charge and isn't accurate, so she and Martha go to the middle tier while Anya and Yor go see Selena...! When Anya and Yor get there, no one is there at first, but then Selena wobbles out and almost falls over when Yor catches her, and...:

IT'S MOTHER F---ING MELINDA DESMOND!!! 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! CAN SHE ACTUALLY SHE INTO THE FUTURE?!?! SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS...!!! 😵😵😵

And that was the end of the chapter... Endo, WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?!?! 😩 Before it was revealed that the fortune teller was Melinda, I already had a sneaking suspicion that LunaLuna 🌙 Selena was gonna be Melinda, but now I wonder if she's actually got psychic abilities to see into the future or not...! 😲 The Magical 🌟 Crowley has also got my attention, is this person related to Arnold Crowley (I believe that's his name) or is it Arnold Crowley himself...? 🤔

Either way, the next chapter is gonna be a very interesting one, folks!! 👌😎 So until the next Mission; take care, be safe out there and be kind to one another...!! LATER!! 👋😄

[fitsofgloom]

"While other girls make dates, you make license plates!" I hate schmaltzy sitcoms about giant families and wacky workplaces, but this one is about women in prison. And it's even called "Women In Prison," one of the first series to air on Fox back in 1987. It's a personal dream of mine realized for a whole thirteen episodes. The titular ladies include: a rich ditz framed by her hubby for shoplifting, a bank robber, an abused wife who beat her husband to death with a bat (!), a computer fraudster, and a Cockney-accented working girl. This makes the clink look like summer camp. The inmates have furniture and leopard print bedspreads, everyone wanders through hallways with their cell doors open, and instead of regulation jumpsuits the ladies traipse around in mini-shirts, high heels, midriffs, acid wash denim, spandex, and studded punk cuffs. It's sheer, shameless trash with some really likable players, and I'm guilty, guilty, GUILTY! of digging it.

Will: Damn this room is dark

Dennis: Mrs Barbosa puts a lot of the funding in to the academic side but I’m hoping we can get her to see the benefit of supporting the arts

Byron: So this is...

Dennis: The band hall. We haven’t had a band in ages but you both showed such interest in the technical side of music-

Byron: We should totally have a band Will! We’d be epic! Thank you so much Mr Early

Dennis: Thank my cat. He always insists on an early breakfast so I have plenty of thinking time with my morning coffee while my husband gets to sleep in

Byron: Yeah I am not a cat fan

Will, Dennis & Me: *visible annoyance*

I enjoyed the NASCAR DTS thing (forget what it's called, push to drive or something) and it's well worth watching. some highlights:

the entire first episode just refusing to explain what the playoffs are, except that it is essential you get to the playoffs. this is America, if you need to ask what the playoffs are instead of just getting your ass into them then you're doing it wrong

Bubba Wallace absolutely losing his mind during media day is actually the greatest montage ever committed to video

Christopher Bell being the NASCAR driver who even while he was driving a NASCAR I kept having to remind myself was not an IndyCar driver. no one has ever looked less like he drives for Mr H not Sopping Wet Wholesome Boy White Bread Racing or something

Denny Hamlin's dad is a delight

speaking of sopping wet white boys William Byron has all the hallmarks of a Tumblr favourite

Bootie Barker is who every team principal on DTS wishes they were

despite the presence of Kyle Larson (derogatory) who was kind of only there narratively, the drivers they picked to profile were a good spread of the field and you get a good idea of the sport from them
