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!

Twins of Evil (1971) John Hough

September 6th 2024

[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.

'Twins of Evil,' directed by John Hough

Movie, 1971 An absolute touchstone and proof, if anyone needed it, that by the time the 1970s came in, Hammer should have moved off and away from horror. Twins of Evil offers nothing new and feels like a kind of desperate attempt to rush something out, with the hook of nudity, eroticism, a little more black magic maybe come to the fore than in other productions, and there’s a hysterical level of…

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*
