RIP Hollywood producer Jon Landau, whose best-known work Titanic precipitated a 10-year worldwide shortage of water. He was also responsible for 'Avatar'.

(So what was the name of the Rolling Stone scribbler who called Bruce Springsteen 'the future of rock and roll' and later managed him for years?)

RIP Joe Egan just the other day, too.

Slightly less famous than his counterpart in Stealers Wheel; but a fine musician and the face used in the video of SITMWY.

Bobby Banks, aged 94

Rugby League Five-eighth who represented Australia 15 times & Queensland 26 times. Originally from NSW & played for Easts in Sydney in 1950.

by Fred Nerk Thu 11 Jul 2024, 21:58

Why would anybody called Banks ever consider calling their son Robert?

by WideWally Thu 11 Jul 2024, 22:17

He was actually born Robert Marjoribanks so his parents probably didn't consider that possibility.

by lardbucket Thu 11 Jul 2024, 23:53

He was the anti-Karmichael Hunt, then?
