(For NYC people): Lucien Bahaj, the head honcho of the French bistro Lucien, in business since 1998 at 1st Ave and 1st St. Also opened the bar Pink Pony on the Lower East Side.

It would be too much of a task to list every celebrity who passed through Lucien - their photos are on the wall. Among the regulars were Jonas Mekas, and from the old Andy Warhol crowd, Gerard Malanga and Taylor Mead. Lucien was always a mensch to me, and always a lovely conversationalist (that means a good listener also) and I will miss him like family.

Most convenient suicide ever

bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 10 August 2019 13:45 (six years ago)

His death comes just days after he was found unconscious in a Manhattan jail cell with injuries to his neck, US media had reported, citing unidentified sources.

It was not clear how he suffered those injuries. Two anonymous sources told New York’s local NBC News 4 that Epstein’s injuries may have been self-inflicted, while another said an assault by another inmate had not been ruled out.

After the incident, Epstein was placed on suicide watch.

... uh right.

they meant the other kind of suicide watch

Simon H., Saturday, 10 August 2019 14:03 (six years ago)

I have little doubt someone watched him commit suicide.

Killing child predators is like the get out of jail free card for people already in jail.

Hey Morbius, do you still have the password to the "Clinton Body Count" page on Geocities? Time for an update.

For my own convenience 1959 would have been a pretty handy time for him to go, but nobody asked me

he's great in a handful of classics and I don't really like Easy Rider that much but Wild Angels, The Hired Hand, Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry, The Limey are all great

rly need people my parents' age to not be dying, "lol"

Fonda died at the age of 79, not 69 - my mistake.

oh phew, my parents will never die, is what you're saying, great

Pete was even good in his Oscar-nominated Ulee's Gold

seemed to get over Dad's demons easier than Jane; of course he may have suffered less from them

Checking his IMDb, it's amazing just how many motorcycle/fast car movie roles he played--many of which are winks to Easy Rider (Cannonball Run, Escape From L.A., Ghost Rider etc.).

Wow, so young. I know Howard Shore, and I know GE Smith and Lenny Pickett, but I had no idea who she was. (Looking into SNL musical directors I just learned that Hal Wilner sometimes still works at SNL!)
