Obit watch: April 2, 2020.

Thursday, April 2nd, 2020

I’ve been an irregular reader of Terry Teachout’s “About Last Night” blog for a while now. I don’t watch that much theater, in NYC or elsewhere, but I enjoy reading his writing. And I also enjoy the historical videos he posts on a regular basis.

I’ve been following him more closely in the past few weeks. Mr. Teachout’s wife has been mortally ill with pulmonary hypertension, and (after months of waiting) received a double lung transplant in early March.

She passed away on Tuesday. I’m heartbroken for Mr. Teachout (even though I don’t know him personally), and extend my condolences to him from afar.

Lawrence sent over the obit for Adam Schlesinger, Fountains of Wayne guy and film and television composer.

“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 3

Thursday, April 2nd, 2020

Last night, I realized that we are coming up on the 50th anniversary of a historic (and awful) event. I’m working on a post that will go up on that date, which is a few days away.

In the meantime, I thought maybe I’d post some things that are thematically appropriate for the anniversary of that event.

Have you ever said to yourself, “Self, what’s the right way to do a felony vehicle stop?”

Well, now you know. Or at least, now you know what the recommended procedure was in 1973.

I would ordinarily say, “Don’t try this at home”, but if your home life is such that you’re thinking about doing felony vehicle stops there, nothing I can say is really going to make any difference.
