The Boomtown Rats : Mary of the Fourth Form (PRE-ACTIVIST - B.Geldof)
2nd single release by the Rats who formed in Din Longhair, Dublin in 1975. Taken from their 1977 debut Album
Mary of the Fourth Form (B.Geldof)
Sittin' in the front row
Mary of the fourth form
Turnin' all the boys on
She's turnin' all their heads around
Hitchin' up her short skirt
Stretchin' out her long legs
Pullin' up her stockings
She's combing out her long hair
Starin' at the teacher
Openin' her lips wide
Shiftin' in her seat. Yeah,
She slowly moves her hips aside
But in the middle of the night
She wakes her Mom to turn out the light
Her make-up's on and her jeans are skintight
And she's heading to the Pillar Bar
Johnnie looks alright tonight she thinks
He gives her a smoke and he buys her a drink
He shoots a frame and they
head off into the night.

Mary of the fourth form.
Mary of the fourth form.
Teacher's losing control
Thankfully the bell rings
Mary's left all alone
With no one but the teacher
She quickly drops her pencil
And slowly bends to get it
Teacher is a natural man
His hand moves out to touch her
She straightens and looks around, yeah
She laughs and leaves the room, yeah
Heartbreak for the teacher
Sweet dreams for young Mary
But in the middle of the night
She wakes her Dad to turn out the light
Her make-up's on and her jeans are skintight
And she's headed to the Pillar Bar
Johnnie looks great tonight, she thinks
He gives her a smoke and he buys her a drink
Shoots off a frame and they
head off into the night.
Mary of the fourth form.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat

Wish she was mine, she looks so good
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone

Gary Numan: Are Friends Electric (THE SMALLER YOUR TOWN, THE MORE SERIOUSLY YOU TOOK THIS!)
One of the pioneers in electronic music here from 1979 with his debut hit
His sound left a lasting influence
it's cold outside
and the paint's peeling off of my walls
there's a man outside
in a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
now the light fades out
and i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this
there's a knock on the door
and just for a second i thought i remembered you
so now i'm alone
now i can think for myself
about little deals
and S.U.'s
and things that i just don't understand
like a white lie that night
or a slight touch at times
i don't think it meant anything to you
so i open the door
it's the `friend' that i'd left in the hallway
"please sit down"
a candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
you know i hate to ask
but are `friends' electric?
only mine's broke down
and now i've no one to love
so i find out your reason
for the phone calls and smiles
and it hurts
and i'm lonely
and i should never have tried
and i missed you tonight
so it's time to leave
you see it meant everything to me

Aleister Crowely: Wickedest Man in the World (STONES/ANGER pt.7)
A video biography of Aleister Crowely and his doings.
T-G-Invocation of My Demon Brother-FRIDAY: Anger (Jagger + Bobby Beausoleil *NOT CAJUN BAND - Manson Family 1964 )
T-G-Invocation of My Demon Brother-FRIDAY: Anger (Jagger + Bobby Beausoleil *NOT CAJUN BAND - Manson Family 1964 )
The description Anger himself gives for Invocation of My Demon Brother is as follows: The shadowing forth of Our Lord Lucifer, as the Powers of Darkness gather at a midnight mass. The dance of the Magus undershirts around the Swirling Spiral Force, the solar swastika, until the Bringer of Light- Lucifer- breaks through.
From this it may mean that the ritual being performed is a sort of seance to "invoke" the devil. In that interpretation, Anger is saying that the devil must be his other side, his alter-ego, his "demon brother."
Music by Mick Jagger, appearance by Bobby Beausoleil (of the "Manson Family").
TGIFireworks - Kenneth Anger | part 2 (4 WEEKS TOPS! ANY TAKERS?)
A bizarre, disturbing dreamscape of violation, rape, and homoerotic sado-masochism. The film opens with Anger, who made this film when he was only 17, awaking from a troubled dream and leaving his house to go on a stroll. He is confronted by a band of buff sailors who proceed to beat, manhandle, and molest him. Ends with the amazing image of a sailor unzipping his fly and pulling out a lit roman candle.
"A dissatisfied dreamer awakes, goes out in the night seeking a 'light' and is drawn through the needle's eye. A dream of a dream, he returns to a bed less empty than before."
- Kenneth Anger

1-2-3 Je Taime
The explicit eroticism of the song was declared offensive at the time of its release. The lyrics are commonly thought to refer to the taboo theme of engaging in sex without love, and were delivered in a breathy, suggestive style.
This interpretation of the song as basic "soft porn" is, however, a misconception. For all who've some knowledge of Gainsbourg, here we find -as in all his work, always profoundly cerebral- the note of desperation, of angst (all in casual disguise) which has been at the core of his best work. One key line is precisely: "L'amour physique est sans issue" ("Physical love is a dead end"), which could only be singled out by someone speaking French- and even then: by "intellectuals".
The song culminates in simulated orgasm sounds by Birkin: mostly because of this, it was banned from radio play in Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, and denounced by the Vatican in a public statement.
Swiss approve prescription heroin
Swiss approve prescription heroin
Inside a Swiss heroin clinic
Swiss voters have approved a radical health policy that offers prescription heroin to addicts on a permanent basis.
Final results from the national referendum showed 68% of voters supported the plan.
The scheme, allowing addicts to inject the drug under medical supervision at a clinic, began in Zurich 14 years ago before spreading across the country.
But in another referendum vote, 63% of voters rejected the decriminalisation of cannabis.
The heroin vote was one of a series of referendums held to decide policy on illegal drugs.
Under the scheme, addicts visit clinics up to twice a day, where they inject the drug under medical supervision. They can also be treated for other medical issues or mental health problems, out correspondent says.
The policy is described as one of last resort - prescribing addicts with the very drug that caused their problems in the first place - but supporters say it works, and Swiss voters appear to have agreed, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Berne says.
Switzerland will be the first country to include it in government policy.
Supporters say it has had positive results - getting long-term addicts out of Switzerland's once notorious "needle parks" and reducing drug-related crime.
まー全うな人間にはかなりどうでもいいニュースではあったりしますが、スイスで医師の診断の元においてヘロイン中毒患者にヘロインを注射して投与することが法律で合法化されたそうです。
合法化されたと言うか、この法律は今から１４年前に国中にヘロイン中毒患者が拡散しないようにするためにチューリッヒで医者による監督の下にヘロイ ンを投与することが認められたそうで、今回はその法律を永続的にするための国民投票が行われたそうで、その結果賛成６８％でこの法律が認めれたそうです。
同時に行われた「大麻を合法にするか？」という法律については、反対６３％で否決されたそうです。
今回のヘロインの法律では、中毒患者は一日に２度まで病院を訪問しそこで医師によってヘロインを注射してもらうんだそうです。同時にカウンセリングなどを受けることも出来るそうです。
これを国に法律として認めたのはスイスが初めてとのこと。賛成した人たちは中毒患者をスイスの悪名高い公園、通称「ニードルパーク（針公園）」から追い出すことが出来るとしているそうで、さらに薬物関連の犯罪も減らすことが出来るとしているそうです。
逆に法律に反対した人たちは、この法律が若者達に間違ったメッセージを発することとなり、更に中毒者自身を傷つけることになると言います。議員の一人のジョー・ラングさんは、今回の大麻が合法化されなかったことには失望しているそうです。何でもスイスでは問題を起こさない大麻中毒者に ついては警察も見て見ぬふりをする傾向があるそうで、「人々はアルコールとヘロインでは死にますが、大麻では死にません」っと話しているそうで・・・。
・・・・・・・・。
ちなみに「大麻」と「ヘロイン」は基本的に全く別のものと言うか、ヘロインの方が中毒度が高く摂取したときの効果がかなり強いって言われているそうです。通常外国なんかで麻薬っと言われるのはほとんどがヘロインですネ。
ヘロインは材料は「ケシの実」で、大麻は「大麻草（アサ）」です。まースイスの人たちがどう思ってたんだか知りませんけど、薬物を医師の監督下であっても合法的にすれば闇の麻薬マーケットに流れる金がなくなりますんで国益的には良い面もあるんでしょうけどネ。そうなるとおのずと犯罪も減るわけで。
Opponents say heroin prescription sends the wrong message to young people and harms the addicts themselves.
On the cannabis issue, the government had opposed a change to the law.
Swiss police regularly turn a blind eye to moderate cannabis use.
But recent studies suggesting that long-term use of the drug may be more harmful than previously thought had looked likely to encourage a "No" to decriminalisation.
Jo Lang, a Green Party MP from Zug, said he was disappointed that the proposal to change the law on cannabis had failed.
"People have died from alcohol and heroin, but not from cannabis," said Mr Lang.

オーディションへの参加を呼びかけるYouTubeの動画カーネギーホールに行くにはどうすればいい？ 古いジョークにあるとおり、練習するだけだ。さらに今では米
Google社もその手伝いをしてくれるようになった。ただし、この場合も練習は必要だ。そしてオーディションも。
Google社では5ヵ月後に、カーネギーホールの舞台で演奏する『YouTube Symphony Orchestra』を結成し、[オリンピックやハリウッド映画向けの音楽を作曲している]中国の作曲家、譚盾氏の『インターネット交響曲第1番：Eroica』を演奏する予定だ。
このオーケストラに参加するには、クラシック音楽の音楽家であるか、それ以外の音楽家であるかは問われない。譚氏の作品と、標準的な作品1曲を演奏 する自身のYouTube映像を提出することが必要だ。審査は、Google社が指名した専門家による審査員団と、YouTubeコミュニティーによって 行なわれる。
作品の楽譜は、YouTubeからPDF形式で入手できる。譚氏が各パートを指揮する、個別に作成した指揮者の映像もある。例えばティンパニ奏者であれば、譚氏がティンパニ奏者だけに向けて指揮をする映像をダウンロードできる。
世界に散らばる才能あるたくさんのクラシック音楽家たちを1つのページにまとめるために、指示は17ヵ国語で提供されている。
写真左から右：指揮者のMichael Tilson Thomas氏、YouTubeの製品マーケティング・マネージャーEd Sanders氏、Google社の製品マーケティング・マネージャーTimothy Lee氏
Photo: Eliot Van BuskirkGoogle社の製品マーケティング・マネージャーを務めるTimothy Lee氏(写真右端)は、次のように述べる。「この種のものとしては初のオンライン・コラボレーションだ。クラシック音楽には革新が強く求められている」
このアイディアに当初からかかわっているLee氏は、ワイアードに次のように説明した。Google社では、オーディションを勝ち抜いた演奏者を集 めてカーネギーホールでオーケストラの生演奏を行なうだけでなく、彼らがアップロードした演奏を、各自の映像をそれぞれ小さな枠に入れた1つの映像にマッ シュアップし、オーディションでの演奏を1つのオーケストラ録音にまとめた音声を付けることにしているという。
ということは、4月15日にカーネギーホールでの演奏を聴きに行かなくても、オーディションに勝ち残った演奏者たちが一緒に演奏するとどうなるかを 聴くことができるわけだ。(ただし現時点では、YouTubeユーザーが自分のお気に入りの演奏者を集めた「夢の」オーケストラを作れるようにする計画は ないという。)
Google社にとって、コンテンツを大規模に制作するのは初めてのことになる。このアイディアは、同社のリトリートで行なわれる 『Dragon's Den』コンテストで生まれた。このゲームは、社員のそれぞれが2分間を与えられてアイディアを語るものだ。Lee氏ともうひとりのクラシック音楽愛好家 がこのアイディアを説明し、他の人々の賛同を得た。Lee氏は現在、スタンフォード大学でMBA(経営学修士号)を取得するため、Google社から1年 間の研究休暇をもらっている。
YouTube Symphony Orchestraでは現在オーディションを受付中で、締切は1月28日だ。多数の有名なオーケストラから招いた専門家による審査員団が、扱いやすい人数 まで絞り込む。さらにYouTubeコミュニティーで2月14日から2月22日まで、準決勝まで勝ち抜いた演奏者から自分のお気に入りを選ぶ投票が行なわ れる。
Google社は、最終的な演奏者を3月2日に発表する予定だ。このYouTube選抜オーケストラは、4月にニューヨーク市に集まり、指揮者のMichael Tilson Thomas氏を迎えて3日間の練習を行ない、4月15日にカーネギーホールで演奏する。
Boy, 9, writes book on how to talk to
girls
A nine-year-old boy has had a book published in the US - called How to Talk to Girls.
Alec Greven's book began life as a creative writing project in school at Castle Rock, Colorado.
His handwritten pamphlet was then sold for $5 at a school book fair where it was the surprise bestseller.
Local news outlets took up the story, Alec was then invited on to a TV talkie which led to him sealing a publishing deal with Harper Collins.
And his book is now available as a 46-page hardcover version across the US.
"I saw a lot of boys that had trouble talking to girls," Alec told the New York Post's Jennifer Fermino. "If I say hi and you say hi back, we're probably off to a good start," he said.
His advice to boys includes - stop showing off, go easy on the compliments and be wary of "pretty girls".
"It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelery," he writes in chapter three. "Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil."
And he continues: "The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don't let them get to you."
Alec's mother, Erin Greven, says her son's insight is down to his avid reading:
"He reads non-stop. At dinner, I say, 'Put your book down,' " she said.

two blocks from Willy DeVille
in '96 i lived two blocks from Willy DeVille with my girlfriend Chailley.
after Willy's girlfriend started buying art at my gallery, i got up the nerve to go over one night, and for the next three years spent as much time hangin' out on his stoop as possible, discussing music, doctors...doc pomus, little willie john, nyc, mardi gras indians, etc.,but mostly local characters.
i admired his antique furniture, artwork, and Victorian eyeglass collection, and he admired some of my cures for headaches, which he'd never mention to his girlfriend.
These cures were always repaid by early morning serenades in his 'back-of-cottage' studio, accompanied by yapping dog, dixie belle.
Willy lived next door to the hotel where Thunders died.
He described his death this way:
I don't know how the word got out that I lived next door, but all of a sudden the phone started ringing and ringing. Rolling Stone was calling, the Village Voice called, his family called, and then his guitar player called. I felt bad for all of them. t was a tragic end, and I mean, he went out in a blaze of glory, ha ha ha, so I thought I might as well make it look real good, you know, out of respect, so I just told everybody that when Johnny died he was laying down on the floor with his guitar in his hands. I made that up. When he came out of the St. Peter's Guest House, riga mortis had set in to such an extent that his body was in a U shape. When you're laying on the floor in a fetal position, doubled over - well, when the body bag came out, it was in a U. It was pretty awful.
Johnny Thunders låg död på mitt hotellrumNEW ORLEANS
Iko Iko
Sitter i Johnny Thunders dödsrum, dricker Hurricane, lyssnar på Dr John och stoppar nålar i voodoodockan.
Men ångbåtsorgeltanten tutar vidare.
Rum 37 på hotell St Peters House är litet, kostar 69 dollar, jag sitter på sängen.
På andra sidan korsningen Burgundy Street (Rue de Bourgogne) och St Peter Street ligger CD"s Saloon - baren där punkrockens Dean Martin, heroinisten Johnny Thunders, träffade två skurkar och tog sitt sista glas.
Sedan hittades New York Dolls-mannen död här på golvet, utanför toaletten. Rånad och antagligen mördad av dåliga droger. Han hade också lymfkörtelcancer.
and your host has been kind enough without the aid of nicotine to translate it into Spanglish:
"Johnny Thunders was laying dead in my hotel room."
Sitting in Johnny Thunders room of death, drinking Hurricane, listening to Dr John and putting needles in the voodoo doll.But the steamboat-organist-lady is still horning awayRoom 37 on hotel St Peters House is tiny, costs 69 dollar, I'm sitting on the bead.On the other side of the Burgundy Street (Rue de Bourgogne) och St Peter Street crossing is CD"s Saloon - the bar where the Dean Martin of punk rock, the heroinist Johnny Thunders, met two crooks and had his last glass.Later the New York Dolls-man was found dead död here on the floor, outside the toilet. Robbed and probably murdered by bad drugs. He also had lymphocyte cancer.Han was 38 years old.Thunders sang "You can"t put you arms around a memory" and Per Omdurman likes him a lot.Burton likes New Orleans a lot too. He's a sinner, he's a saint.Born voyage, baby.My travel companion, Svenska Switchblades L'Enfant terrible, the man with William Faulkner's "Sound and the Fury" on the nightstand, puts the needles in the country music enthusiast who can find a five star record every week and I've got two guys - you know who you are, teething - back in the old country who will receive my needles in the voodoo doll for 15 dollars.but fiest I'm aiming at the lousy lady overboard the Mississippi steamboat Natchez. Her off-key steamrollersqueegees by Tennessee Williams tramway "Lindie Lucita" and perhaps all the way to Tiptoeing"s and I'm sure voodoo musician Professor Longhair, who's head you ought to rub there, had put his needles into her if he had been into voodoo. Been her in "The Big Easy" four times now, but never seen Mysticism or Master P. Or Dr John. But the lady plays the steamboat every time..My voodoo must be wrong.Voodoo religion exists only in Haiti, in Brazil and here in Louisiana. 15 % of New Orleans population is down with voodoo. The local voodoo saint is Marie Laveau but that doesn't help me. The old lady still plays.I wish someone could rub my head too. Well, this sickening headache; I don't know whether it was the Cajun-martini I had at Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana-cooking-restaurateur K-Pauls or if it is the plague from NYC or if it's the flu or if the needle I put in Mr. X's head backfired..That's how the story goes. Respect voodoo.
Like Dr John sings :
"After you rub it a while, you dub it."
"Meeting perhaps the worlds fattest black gay. He's cooking his cajun sausages, Po-Boys together with a tiny little transvestite at Clover Grill, a little place on Bourbon Street and Dumaine.Come on in, ya"ll, we not gonna eat ya, he says and flirts with a gumbo in the hand."What a man!/Z
Many rumors surround Johnny's death at the St. Peter House in New Orleans, Louisiana in April, 1991. He apparently died of drug-related causes, (i'm sorry but i'm just not buying that) was it accidental or the result of foul play? Dee Dee Ramone (and you know how fond jt was of dd) took a call in New York the next day from Stevie Klasson, Johnny's rhythm guitar player.
"They told me that Johnny had gotten mixed up with some bastards... who ripped him off for his methadone supply. They had given him LSD and then murdered him. He had gotten a pretty large supply of methadone in England, so he could travel and stay away from those creeps - the drug dealers, Thunders imitators, and losers like that."What is known for certain is that Johnny's room (no. 37) was ransacked...cunt here.

"Now here's a strange character. I knew jackie Shane from his version of In My Tenement, but when I got this footage and set eyes on Jackie, I wasn't sure if he/she was male or female. I found a little info on a website called Queer Music Heritage "Jackie Shane was a soul singer who performed mainly in the Toronto area and was known for his flamboyant effeminate stage persona.
He had a top ten hit in Canada in 1963 called "Any Other Way. "

La Dolce Musto: Screen Legend Throws Shit-fit!
March 17th, 2003 3:00 PM
But back to big orchids, a producer just played me a copy of an '89 recording he found by Robert Blake's murdered wife Bonny Lee Bakley, who gave very good treacle.
The record turns out to be just the kind of poignantly kitschy celeb-worship collectible you'd expect from the woman who owned a photo of her face superimposed next to Elvis Presley's.
The rap tune-"A Tribute to Elvis"-has a cheesy sounding synth and drum machine backing Bakley's effusive utterances like
"Some people say it's hard for them to understand/
I want to be in heaven's rockin' band/Bill Haley and Buddy Holly too/
We sing our song for all of you."
Sadly, she made it to the band before her time.
by Michael Musto
In 1980, still married to her cousin, Bonnie moved down south. One day she arrived, uninvited at Jerry Lee's boyhood home. Frankie Jean Lewis, the rocker's sister, says Bonny sashayed into her living room with a tape recorder playing striptease music."She takes off her blouse and peels down her stockings," says Frankie. "It was good. She said 'I'd like to meet your brother.' So I got Jerry on the phone and I said 'Jerry, we got us a real live one here.' And he said 'Send her up.' That's what he always said."

Star Article 1993
2003 UPDATE -Bonny Lee Bakley was murdered in California and her husband, the actor Robert Blake has been charged with the crime. In 1989 she made two records for Noway Usa Music of Palisades Park, New Jersey: Using the name Leebonny Bakley, she recorded a number called "Tribute to Elvis Presley" that contained the line "Rock and roll will never be the same/Rock and Roll Leebonnie is my name". She also made a brief appearance in the 1985 movie "Turk 182" which starred Robert Urich.In 1990 Lee Bonny and Linda Gail Lewis sued a UK newspaper that had reported they were running an expensive sex chat line service.This is the original Star article from 1993:
ANGRY GIRLFRIEND BLASTS
A scorned girlfriend of Jerry Lee Lewis says he's the father of their love child - and now she's taking the legendary rocker to court. Bonny Lee Bakley wants the legendary rocker to acknowledge and support the 4-week-o1d daughter she's named Jeri Lee. Lewis, 57, his sixth wife, Kerrie, and their son, Lee, are currently living in Ireland to avoid high taxes in the U.S. But that hasn't stopped Bakley, 37, from filing a petition in Memphis to establish paternity. "I took a home pregnancy test. I called Jerry and told him I was pregnant. He didn't really seem enthused," Bonny tells Star."He told me, 'Don't tell anybody.' He didn't want me to tell his sister, Linda Gail, even though we were friends. He said he would get back to me but he never did. I thought he was on the verge of a break up with Kerrie," she says, adding that she gave birth just a few minutes' drive away from The Killer's mansion. Now an unemployed mother of three, Bakley says she had, an on-again, off-again affair with the Great Balls of Fire singer for seven years, and adds she always believed she'd be the next Mrs. Jerry Lee right up until the time the child was conceived. 'The last time we made love was on October29, 1982, at the Airport Marriot in Nashville" Bonny recalls. "I wore a blue silk dress. Jerry said, 'you look good tonight. After we made love, he said, 'I got to get up early' and he left."
Now that Bonny has resigned herself to to life as a single mom, she is determined to make Jerry pay up. "I knew that I had to do something to see that the baby had her rights," says Bonny. "So I went to the Memphis juvenile court and told them I was having a baby - but the father isn't responding." Bonny says the paternity tests can't be done for another two months - but she has no doubt the results will prove that the child is Jerry Lee's. "I would marry him in a heartbeat" sighs Bonny "I love Jerry I love him so much I was willing to have his child. I would do it all again."She says she fell for the aging performer after seeing him on stage for the first time. 'Jerry made a lasting impression on me," says Bonny "I met him backstage while I was living in New Jersey. "I came to Memphis for a visit" recalls Bonny, 'and ended up staying for a month, and seeing him almost every night usually at Hernando's Hideaway - one of Jerry's favorite clubs, "In 1986, I even moved down to Memphis so I could be with Jerry"Even if she does win her suit Bonny may have a rough time collecting any money. Jerry Lee owes the IRS $1.6 million, and recently, agents seized some of his most prized possessions - including his piano. "Jerry flatly denies he is the father of this child," the singer's attorney, Charles Waldman, tells STAR."I hate the word has-been," continued Merich, "but common sense tells you that the B-list people have more of a problem (with celebriphiles). They don't have handlers and can't afford top-notch security. And they tend to visit the same places over and over again, because people know them there and they still get the attention they crave. They leave themselves open to this problemyou have to get into the psyche of the celebrity. Because as much as they complain about it, these people like being famous. They like walking down the street and having people say, 'Oh, my gosh, that's so-and-so.' That's why they became a celebrity in the first place. And your B-list people aren't getting that attention anymore. So they're much more susceptible to groupies or hangers-on or somebody like this Bakley woman."
"I've been in this business for ten years, and these sorts of cases have been a constant," said John C. Lane, Jr. Lane, formerly the lead officer in an LAPD celebrity protection unit, is now employed by Omega Threat Management Group. "There has always been an undercurrent of inappropriate pursuit in the entertainment industry. Usually it gets dealt with behind the scenes."
What Do You Think?
- Does synastry shed light on the case?
- Can you find her burning ambition to marry a famous entertainer?
- Where is the con artist in the chart? What allows her to spin a con and make it believable?
- What does it mean that she has an unaspected Ascendant?
Lewis's brother was killed by a drunk driver in front of the family's house when he was eight. His gave his firstborn son a Jeep for his 19th birthday, and the boy was killed when he wrecked it. His second son drowned at three. In 1979, the IRS confiscated many of Lewis's possessions in lieu of payment for back taxes. He was married six times, divorced four times and widowed twice (both times under conditions some saw as suspicious).
During and between his marriages, there were countless groupies waiting for Lewis backstage, in the parking lot, or even coming to his house, Among them was Bonny Lee Bakley, who later married actor Robert Blake and met an untimely death.
In the years when Bonny was raking in money from her tawdry sex business, she never lost sight of her appetite for celebrities. Indeed, her pursuit of country musician Jerry Lee Lewis (at left) is one of the most bizarre chapters of her life. The singer, a cousin of disgraced televangelist Jim Swaggert and now in his late sixties, was popular on radio stations in the1950s, and made appearances at such venues as the Steve Allen Show and even in concert overseas during 1958. But his star quickly lost its luster after a scandal over his marriage to a 13-year-old cousin. His records were dropped by radio stations and he ended up, in the words of a fan web site, doing "an endless string of one-night-stands." Said Lewis, "From $10,000 a night to $250 is a hell of a disappointment."But even thirty years later, Lewis had one devoted fan - perhaps "obsessed" is a better word - in the person of Bonny Lee Bakley. She set out to get him any way she could, literally stalking him anywhere he went. She reportedly went so far as to bribe a travel agent for information about flights he was planning to take, then booked seats next to his. When Bakley gave birth to a daughter in 1993, she proudly claimed the baby had been fathered by Lewis, even succeeding in getting some tabloid newspaper coverage for her story.
Not surprisingly, she named the little girl (pictured with Bakley at upper right) Jeri Lee Lewis. Numerous press reports have stated that tests were done, however, and they revealed the baby was not his.But that wasn't the last chapter in the bizarre Lewis saga. After years of throwing herself at him, she eventually realized nothing would happen, and she settled for fantasy, calling herself "Bonny Lee Lewis" and sending out Christmas cards with a picture of the two of them and an inscribed signature: "Happy Holidays, Jerry Lee and Bonny Lee."Altogether, Bakley spent more than 10 years pursuing Lewis, says an article in Entertainment Weekly. It quoted the singer's former road manager, J.W. Whitten: "She was all over us ... She would always stay in the same hotels we were in. She popped up at one of his birthday parties. Once she offered me money to tell her where he was. She actually thought she had a shot at being Jerry's girlfriend." (3)After Bonny's killing made headlines around the world, Lewis issued a statement to disassociate himself from the woman. "I want to make it clear that I have never fathered a child by Mrs. Robert Blake," said the statement, which referred to Bakley as a nuisance who had gone so far as to threaten to kill Lewis's son if he did not take her as his lover. (4)The statement added:"She [Bakley] moved to Memphis in the hope that I would leave my devoted wife, Kerrie, and our son, Jerry "Lee" Lewis III, and marry her; merely a figment of her own imagination. Mrs. Blake then went on to cultivate friendships with my relatives and friends, hoping somehow this would help her cause. However, her stalking of my family, as well as her threats to kill our son, landed her in a Memphis courtroom. As a last-ditch attempt to form a relationship with me, in 1993 she charged she was carrying my child and stories to this effect appeared in the tabloids. This claim was thrown out of a Memphis courtroom as our lawyer proved, with my passport, that I was out of the country longer than her records claimed she was pregnant. Since she had no records to show she had left the country, the case was over before it began... I do hope the child who has my name and has been told I am her father learns that I am not the father and that I am very sorry that she has had to suffer this lie..." (5)The reference by Lewis to threats by Bakley "to kill our son" are in themselves stunning enough. Even more recently, however, it was revealed that Bakley may also have discussed the murder of Lewis's wife. During a televised 27 August 2002 pre-trial hearing before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nash, news headlines called attention to another of Bakley's taped phone conversations in which she reportedly talked about just that. On that date, the judge agreed to a defense request to delay the preliminary hearing until November on the grounds that prosecutors had earlier in the month turned over some 7,100 pages of new evidence in the case to Blake's counsel. It was in the context of this "new evidence" that the revelation about the alleged plot to kill the singer's wife emerged. [See photos of court proceedings, including captions from Fox News, below.] (6)If Bonny Lee Bakley was deluded about her "relationship" with Lewis, as everyone connected with him has claimed, she was no less imaginative when it came to other, bigger, celebrities. Bakley either targeted or claimed to have had encounters with everyone from Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Red Foxx, and Gary Busey to former televangelist and Lewis relative Jimmy Swaggart. According to some reports, her address book had entries for no less than 17 stars she was intended to pursue. It included an old (now-isconnected) answering service for Robert Redford in New York, Sylvester Stallone's address without a phone number, and the home phone of comedian Chuck McCann. And there were still more. According to Entertainment weekly:Bakley cast a wide net in her search for famous lovers. The names in her address book range from Oscar-winning actors (De Niro) to pop stars (Prince). Most of the listings, though, have a certain shabby je ne sais quoi to them. Disgraced Pentecostal preacher Jimmy Swaggart is in her book, as is Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, who received a note from Bakley last December ("Something like 'Hi, I just married Robert Blake, we need to get together,'" Flynt's assistant remembers). Dukes of Hazzard star James Best makes an appearance, as do comedians Pat McCormick and Will Jordan and singers Chuck Berry, Lou Christie, and Frankie Valli (whom Bakley claimed to have dated in her teens). Bakley had the late Dean Martin's number, too, perhaps scribbled in the book the same night she took a picture with him at Hamburger Hamlet in Hollywood, where the aging crooner occupied the same table every Sunday evening for the last decade of his life. (7)Bakley financed her extravagant trips, the nightclubs, hotels and favor-buying not only by means of her mail order sex and marriage hoaxes, but by means of credit card and identity theft, fraud, and even trumped-up lawsuits. The book, Blood Cold, notes:By the mid-1990s, Bonny Lee Bakley was roving ever further out of control. She slept all day and played all night, and always let someone else pick up the check. She had a scam for every occasion. Need a free meal? Go with Bonny for seven courses and you wouldn't even have to pay for coffee? Need gasoline? Pick a card, any card - they all worked at the pump, no matter whose name was printed on them.She received Social Security checks in all sorts of different names. It was just a matter of getting them cashed, and all that required was ID.... Bonny found that lawsuits were another way to supplement her income. She would pop into her attorney's office fairly regularly with a possible personal damage action - everything from getting popped in the nose to falling down in a convenience store and injuring her tail-bone. (8)While her sex and porn racket remained "Bonny's bread and butter," according to the same book, her phoney credit card habit is one that can cause long-lasting misery to victims. And Bonny wasn't the only Bakley involved in identity theft. Brother Joseph (right) financed his life the same way. According to Paul Johnsen of the San Diego District Attorney's office, the younger Bakley "worked his way across the country" using the names and social security numbers of former friends and acquaintances. With this identification, he would apply for credit cards in those names. And, because the bills were sent to Joseph's address in San Diego, the victims were never aware that their credit was being gradually ruined. (9)Identity theft not only ruins credit. It can - and often does - result in false imprisonment. As one on-line news agency explains it, "There's nothing new about criminals using aliases to evade the law - criminals often try to give their buddy's name, address, and date of birth to dupe police. But the explosion of identity theft, and the ready availability of stolen digital dossiers on innocent victims, makes it just as easy for a criminal to give a stranger's personal data during an arrest. Once police book a suspect under a fake name, that mistake can plague a victim for life." (10)The news report describes the case of a man, typical of many who have been victims of identity theft, who has been repeatedly arrested for crimes committed by an impersonator who posted bail and vanished, leaving the court to issue a bench warrant. The man in this case was arrested for alleged drug dealing (a charge against the impersonator) when stopped for a minor traffic offense. Though the matter was cleared up quickly, he still lost his job for failure to report a "criminal record." But that wasn't the end. A year later, it happened again. He was jailed for another offense committed in his name by the ID thief. Then came a third arrest. Police came to his house, armed with three arrest warrants, and handcuffed him. Before leaving, officials at child protective services were called to take away the man's children, but a relative arrived in time to prevent the state taking custory. Even though that charge, too, was eventually cleared up, the impostor remains at large, says the report, and continues to commit crimes in the man's name. The victim in this case has at last concluded that his only recourse is to obtain a legal name change and a new social security number. (11)Indeed, one of Bakley's victims came forward in February of 2004 to talk about what happened to her after Bakley got her hands on an old ID. The woman, 46-year-old Sylvia Simon, says her credit rating was destroyed along with her good name. As it turns out, Sylvia Burks Simon was once married to Bakley associate Robert Stefanow. She divorced him in about 1982, after which Stefanow traveled to Tennessee and became the seventh husband of Jerry Lee Lewis's youngest sister, Linda Gail. After Bakley seduced Stefanow, Lewis tossed him out. Among the things Stefanow left was an old ID of Sylvia's. Bakley paid Linda Gail $500 for it, and proceeded to run up an assortment of bills, including an unpaid debt of more than $1,200 at the French Riviera Spa in Memphis.For years, Simon was aware of the ID theft problem and even reported it to the sheriff's department at Deltona, Florida in 1999. But nothing could be done. Even though Bakley was arrested with a false ID in the name of Sylvia Stefanow, Simon only learned it was Bakley when her name surfaced as one of Bakley's false identities at the time of her death. "Using my name, driver's license, Social Security number and date of birth, Bonny had been able to obtain a new driver's license for herself, set up bank accounts, rent mailboxes, operate an escort business and order credit cards," she says. "If I could tell Bonny just one thing, it would be that she ruined my lfe." (12)Given the extreme consequences of identity-theft and the difficulty one has clearing one's name and credit, it is certainly not hard to imagine that someone whose name was used fraudulently by Bakley might be angry enough to have a motive for murder. Indeed, it is known that Bakley preyed on "friends" when in her ID fraud exploits, and that at least some whose identities were stolen were aware of Bakley's culpability. (13)Celebrity stalking may seem relatively innocent compared to ID theft, but it is not. The stalker is not to be confused with some quirky, obsessed, anad overzealous "fan." Beatle John Lennon fell to an assassin's gun in Manhattan on 8 December 1980, shot by a star-stalker named Mark David Chapman to whom Lennon had, only moments earlier, given an autograph.Eight years later, another deadly celebrity-hound made the news when he shot to death Rebecca Schaeffer, an young actress who starred in a TV sitcom. Robert Bardo, Schaeffer's killer, spent considerable time and effort to find his prey, reported hiring a private investigator at one point and then tracking her through computer data banks. He lurked in front of her apartment for hours at a time. And when one day a delivery-person dropped off a package for her, Barto went to her door. She turned him away, he became agitated and went back to her door, and then, without saying a word, fired the fatal gunshot.Director Steven Spielberg was harrassed by one Jonathan Norman, described after his 1997 arrest as a deadly, sex-crazed psychotic. Police found duct tape, handcuffs and a utility knife, as well as pictures of Spielberg, his wife and his seven children. A security guard testified at the Normal trial that Norman had been attmpting to enter Spielberg house on June 29th and again on July 11th, when he was was arrested.Madonna, too, barely escaped harm at the hands of a psychotic celebrity hound named Robert Hoskins who managed several times to get onto her property and once got within ten feet of her. Hoskins was shot in a struggle with a bodyguard and in March of 1996, after a trial during which Madonna testified that he had threatened to kill her for rejecting his marriage proposals, Hoskins was sentenced to ten years in prison.Late night comic David Letterman is another who had close encounters with an irrational admirer. 46-year-old Margaret Ray succeeded in breaking into Letterman's Connecticut home when he was away, even sleeping in his bed, driving his Porsche, and claiming to be his wife. She was committed to a state mental institution and in October of 1998, not long after her release, commimtted suicide by placing herself in the way of a speeding train at Hotchkiss, Colorado.The truly determined stalker is no mere nuisance but more often a deranged pursuer vicious enough to do serious harm. But in the case of Bakley, the tables were turned. It was she, not the star she managed to snare, that ended up dead.And the "grieving" Bakley relatives - who didn't even bother to attend Bakley's California funeral - scarcely acted like a family that had lost a loved one. Their stories popped up in tabloids as fast as publishers could write checks. And instead of saying kind things about dear departed Bonny, they gave rambling and often conflicting stories about Blake, from whom they hoped eventually to collect money in a wrongful death civil suit."When someone dies, usually you start thinking, 'She wasn't really a bad person,'" ex-hubby and long-time partner Paul Gawron told the Enquirer. "But the truth is, Bonny really was." (14)Bakley's own mother, Marjorie Lois Carlyon (left), was equally frank when she recalled an incident in which Bonny had submitted a crotch photo of herself to Husstler magazine in Carlyon's name. Bonny, said her mother, "has no shame." (15)But ex-husband DeMart Besly - the retired Montana sheriff who fell for a typical Bakley con - was even more provocative in his assessment of the Bakley character. Bonny Bakley, he wrote in his memoir, would "fuck a snake if someone would hold its head." (16)
(1) See Jerry Lee biography online.
Margerry Bakley, sister and sometime-partner of Bonny Bakley in the sex business, hopes to get her hands on a lot of money with a civil lawsuit against Robert Blake.
Early life
Bonny Lee Bakley was born in Morristown, New Jersey to tree surgeon Edward J. Bakley and his wife, Marjorie. She had three other siblings: Margeryy Lois Hall, Joeseph, and her half-brother Peter Carlyon from her mother's second marriage, Peter Carlyon. Problems at home as a teenager led Bonnyto move out of the house and in with her grandmother.
She dropped out of high school at age 16 and decided to go to New York City to pursue a career in modeling and acting at the Barbizon School of Modeling. She was married at 21 to her first cousin and had two children with him.[1]
Bakley's early life is checkered by a criminal record. She was convicted in Little Rock, Arkansas for possessing false identifications. In 1989, she was convicted of drug possession in Memphis, Tennessee and later in 1995, convicted of passing bad checks.
FBI records show that in 1994, while under investigation for fraud, Bakley told agents of a con she ran on a college student, sending her then thirteen year old daughter to seduce the man. [2]
Celebrity Obsession
Bonnie soon made a living running a lonely hearts scheme, sending nude pictures of herself to men with the promise of visiting them if they sent her money.
Bakley also had a history of pursuing celebrities. Her friends and relatives all described her as "celebrity-obsessed". She claimed to have had an affair with rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis and borne his daughter in 1993, but DNA tests later disproved her claim. Lewis has denied ever having a relationship with Bakley. Tapes of Bakley's phone conversations reveal that she was starstruck and bent on marrying someone famous. "I like being around celebrities," she once said, "it makes you feel better than other people."
Her lonely hearts fraud, however, continued to be lucrative. She was able to marry several of her victims swindling a number of men out of their savings and life insurance. Eventually she obtained enough money to buy two houses and several undeveloped lots in Memphis and a house outside of LA; additionally, her lonely hearts fraud funded her unsuccessful Hollywood career as a singer and actor under the stage name Leebonny.[3]
Marries Robert Blake
In 1999, Bonny Lee Bakley met Robert Blake at Chuck McCann's birthday party. At the time she was seeing Christian Brando, before becoming acquainted with Blake. Blake slept with Bakley, later claiming that she had assured him that she was taking birth control pills. Friends of Bakley later said that she was, in fact, taking fertility pills at the time. She was soon pregnant with what would be her fourth child.
Initially, Bakley believed that Christian Brando was the father, but later told Blake she wasn't sure, and that it might have been his. When a DNA test determined that it was Blake, not Brando, that was the father of Bakley's youngest child, Blake agreed to marry her. It was his second marriage, her tenth. Their marriage was somewhat unconventional. Bakley lived in a small guest house beside her husband's house in the Studio City area of the San Fernando Valley. It is rumored that Blake only married her to eventually get custody of their child, whom Blake wanted his childless daughter to raise.
On May 4, 2001 Blake took Bakley to an Italian dinner at Vitello's Restaurant on Tujunga Boulevard in Studio City. Afterward, Bakley was murdered by a gunshot to the head while sitting in the car, which was parked on a side street around the corner from the restaurant. Blake told the police that he had gone back to the restaurant to get a gun he left at the table and was there when the shooting occurred.
She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
Criminal and civil suits
On March 16 2005, Blake was found not guilty of the murder of Bonny Lee Bakley, and of one of the two counts of soliciting a former stuntman to murder her. The other count of solicitation was dropped after it was revealed that the jury was deadlocked 11-1 in favor of an acquittal. Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, commenting on this ruling, called Blake a "miserable human being" and the jurors "incredibly stupid".
Blake's defense team and members of the jury responded that the prosecution had failed to prove its case. During the trial, the defense alleged that Bakley was a drug addict who used her daughter for prostitution [4].
On November 18 2005, Blake was found liable for the wrongful death of his wife in a civil trial. Bakley's four children sued him, asserting he was responsible for their mother's death. The jury ordered him to pay $30 million.

The Murder Weapon
Who Was Bonny Lee Bakley?
The 44-year-old Bakley, who went by several aliases, had been married numerous times - so many in fact, that several of her former husbands don't know how many marriages she's had or whether she was even divorced when she remarried.
She also made a living running a lonely hearts scheme, sending provocative pictures of herself to men with the promise of visiting them if they sent her money. After receiving money, she would never show.
By the time she died she had accumulated an estate that included three houses.
Bakley's past was further checkered by a criminal record. She had been convicted in Arkansas for possessing false identifications.
Bakley also had a history of pursuing celebrities. She claimed to have had an affair with rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis and borne his child, a girl she named Jeri Lee, but DNA tests later proved he was not the father. Lewis has denied having a relationship with Bakley.
Tapes of Bakley's phone conversations reveal that she was starstruck and bent on marrying someone famous.
"I like being around celebrities," she said on one tape. "It makes you feel better than other people."
Initially, Bakley believed the her fourth child, a baby girl, was fathered by Christian Brando, son of Marlon Brando. Bakley claimed to have become involved with him after he was released from prison after serving half of a 10-year sentenced for manslaughter for killing his half-sister's boyfriend in 1990.
She named her daughter Christian Shannon Brando, but later told Blake she wasn't sure if the baby was Brando's. When a DNA test determined that it was Blake, not Brando, that was the father of Bakley's youngest child, Blake agreed to marry her.
