A lot of it was filmed up in Humboldt County (where I'm from), my uncle got paid $15 to put a Massachussetts plate on his car

David Soul was a guy who had a lot of acting chops. Weirdly my first exposure to him was as one-half of a psychotic bank robbing duo in the TV film In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders. The other psycho was Michael Gross! They were both superb and the final shootout is genuinely intense and bleak.

Ahh here it is.
The "new circus" people are on the wrong track, I think. In their view, it seems, the acts are corny; what is important is the meanings that can be attached to them. But in fact it is those meanings that are corny. What is serious is the acts.

I never got to see the Cosmos play live, but to the extent there was soccer on TV in the western U.S. (which was almost not at all), I did get to see that club, which consisted of several aging greats and Italian fugitive Giorgio Chinaglia. IIRC, they did play some friendlies with German clubs and got pasted.

The BBC's headline was something like "ex-Arsenal striker Campbell dies", so my initial thought was that Sol Campbell had died. Which made me feel old. Sol Campbell made his international debut in Euro '96, which was only yesterday. It's hard to think that "Three Lions" etc is twenty years old. Why is everything so dark nowadays. Why do I have to use a torch to read things.
And when I realised it was Kevin Campbell, a completely different footballer. I'm also now terrified that I'm a subconscious racist because I mixed the two players up. It was accidental, but racism is racism. Do I say racist things when I'm asleep? You tell me, Ilxor. Are my paragraph breaks racist?
The headline got me wondering about relative levels of fame. Presumably if Sol Campbell had died the headline would be "Sol Campbell dies" because everybody knows Sol Campbell. He's Sol Campbell. The most famous man to be named after the sun. I wonder if the BBC deliberately wrote the headline in an ambiguous way in order to maximise engagement. In which case it worked.
