He collaborated with Brazilian legends and took his talent to international stages, performing with icons like Miles Davis. Pascoal's refusal to label his music as "jazz" reflects his dedication to exploring musical genres, drawing influences from Brazilian styles such as chorinho and samba.
cordshoes Fame, sport, talent, the eventual decline in fame, notoriety, and your status as who you are, etc, tells its tale on some folk.
Djpekingman So much for the comeback Rip hitman. A troubled man for sure but I thought he was on the way up. Maybe he knew just too many cunts.
Placid Jon Had his demons in the past hadn’t he? Had a lot of fry ups too. Sad to hear, too young. He was getting interviewed once and he was asked about him putting weight on between fights and Ricky said “iv got a problem with my legs” “Your legs?” “Yeah, I can’t walk past a chippy without buying a bag” Sad he went so early.
Flaneur If you've got a VPN, or live overseas, this is a good documentary/film about Hatton. I think it is on Sky at the moment? I'm very wary of his Dad...
Jon Harvest Felt sure he’d make it to 100. I reckon McCartney might. Rick Rubin will live to at least 150, the most chilled character on the planet.
EEPW ahhh The sting was the first movie my Dad took me to see back in the 70s. We stayed back and watched it twice over after he had explained the plot to me during the changeover. (i was 10) It remains my favorite movie of all time.
