	Yeah, that's fine. But it won't actually draw the bullet image to the screen. Instead it crashes.

	Now, this is before adjusting for inflation. However - these figures have been up on the BBC's site since this morning, it's just only now that they've 'clicked' with me - and of course, it's currently midnight, meaning that it's still only 4pm on the US west coast. I would strongly, strongly expect for it to have taken enough since the BBC article first went up, to counter-effect inflation.

Angel Posts: 1,283 Group: Members Member #35 Joined: August 27, 2006	From the Spector biography I've got: Quote: Cohen would later recall how on one occasion in the studio Spector approached him with a bottle of Manishewitz in one hand and a pistol in the other, placed his arm around Cohen's shoulder, shoved the gun in his neck and said, "Leonard, I love you". Cohen, with admirable aplomb, simplY moved the barrel away, saying, "I hope you do, Phil."

He's not even French! Posts: 1,980 Group: Members Member #59 Joined: October 20, 2006	It was obviously prejudicial to the Spector trial that everyone already knows he's a gun toting paranoid lunatic.

SPEEEEEAAAK! Posts: 15,785 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: February 23, 2005	I hate all the crappy cover versions that people do of Leonard Cohen songs, like Jeff Buckley and that Britain's Got Tourettes winner, where they always think that what the original lacked was it wasn't completely and crappy.

NYC Fireman Posts: 2,420 Group: Members Member #45 Joined: September 29, 2006	Ha ha, Oh God, I'd forgotten all about that. I can't imagine how terrible it must have been. I hope Scarlett Johansson put on a sexy gravely voice in imitation of Tom Waits. Also I like the Jeff Buckley cover of Hallelujah, and none of you are going to make me feel bad about it. I don't know it that's because I heard it before the original, though.

	there were a group of people who would show up at his concerts and such with signs proclaiming that John Tesh was actually an alien. At one point John Tesh actually tried to talk to them, and they all ran away. He wound up chasing them down the street, yelling "I just want to talk", but they all kept running.
