    Can I just say how amazing it is that you not only take us all to the locations of these wonderful people who have went on, but you also give us photos, footage, and snippets of their music---
    It's so respectful and helps us remember them and their contributions to the world. ❤

    I played drums for 10 years John Bonham was my mentor , the style he had with the high hat ,snare and kick with the large base drum was natural to me ( the fool in the rain ) masterpiece !! Rest in peace Mr Bonham my brother from another mother .

    Thank you for including Jack Wild in part 2. For so many of us late Boomers, he was our first crush and has a unique place in our hearts. I encourage anyone who loved him to read his posthumously published autobiography “It’s a Dodgers Life.” It’s written in his distinctive voice and is a wonderful read. Many talk of his alcoholism, but he was sober at the end, bravely battling mouth cancer. Even when he lost his voice to the cancer, he acted on stage in pantomime.

      Maybe, but did you ever see "Gods and Monsters," a fictionalized story of the last days of James Whale, who directed Karloff in "Frankenstein" and other movies? In it Whale tries to avoid Karloff at a party, because he considers him so unbearably boring! Still, it's fiction.

      @@jamesclendon4811, in his final days, Karloff was approached by Fellini to appear in a film of his. "it really set me up!" he told his agent.

      I have read many accounts and have heard tales that Mr. Karloff was wonderful to work with and gracious and kind to everyone. He suffered through that Frankenstein and monster makeup, with no complaints. In his last appearance when he was gravely ill, he pushed through and finished asking for no special treatment. He was a talent and a gentleman. I cannot imagine the Grinch without him.RIP without your talents the Universal Monsters would not be.

I am sure people have their own “spin on every event”( in order to sell books & make their own book “less boring!”🤣Ha!) but by all accounts Mr. Karloff was quite an interesting, well rounded man( never complained about hrs silent in wardrobe either both putting in that makeup & taking it off for the movie( quite the ordeal I read!) ! Take Care!❤️

    I'm definitely learning some new names and people in this one. So many of them I do not know. Tony Hart was the surprising one. The cemetery looked like it could use a little more care. His marker looked like it was placed there 100 years ago but he died just 11 years ago. Loved seeing Bonham and all the drumsticks! And of course I'm a huge fan of Boris Karloff! Thank you for taking us on another tour!

    The more I've seen of Boris Karloff's film, tv and radio work, the more I've realized what an enormous range the fellow had as an actor, i.e., horror, comedy and drama. He was instrumental in helping to unionize Hollywood actors in the SAG starting in 1933. By all accounts, he was also a very decent human being in his personal life and did a lot of charitable work. I am delighted to see he still has fans.

    Led Zeppelin helped me in so many ways, my friend 'the boy next door' introduced me to Led Zeppelin a gift he gave me, he passed away last October, I was having a hard time listening to the music that brought me so much healing, it was sounding different was it because it was my connection to him, what he gave me, the gift of losing myself into the music, to escape from hell, to give me the gift of drawing what I see and feel....the gift of Tolkien, mighty arms of Atlas. winds of Thor, the darkest depths of Mordor.......the boy next door
    finally I the music was reaching to me again......thanks to the boy next door
    Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
    To chase a feather in the wind
    Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
    There moves a thread that has no end
    For many hours and days that pass ever soon
    The tides have caused the flame to dim
    At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
    Is this to end or just begin?
    The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
    One voice is clear above the din
    Proud Arianne one word, my will to sustain
    For me, the cloth once more to spin
    Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
    His is the force that lies within
    Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
    He is a feather in the wind
    All of my love to you now....
    Sometimes.......Sometimes
    I get a little bit lonely......Just a little

    Back in the 1970's when I started my career in Radio and later TV, "Little Willy" by The Sweet was one of my favorite records to play going into the top of the hour "Legal ID" and news. Their later later hit "Fox On The Run" was one of my favorite pieces of :"elevator music". Boris Karloff also starred in another of my all-time favorite movies, "Mad Monsters Party", which I highly recommend. Well done, Arthur!

    Few realize how closely the music of Star Wars (Williams) follows Holst. Even in just the short clips of Mars and Neptune, it is obvious there's a connection. "Influence" was a delicate and polite way for Arthur to phrase it. Some have been more direct and claimed that John Williams all but erased Holst's name off the top of the sheet music and put his own. I personally recognize the genius of Williams, and admire him for not only his brilliance as a composer, but also to realize the brilliance of Holst. Like they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
