Juke Box Jury: 1960Jurors are:NINA AND FREDERIK+David McCullum and wife, Jill Ireland,before she fucked Charles Bronson]This was a Saturday evening BEEB-polite programme, circa. 1959 - 1967.Here's the Scenario:David Jacobs, the Lord, from behind a desk, sentences the latest, offending 45s to hard labour; or finding them innocent, releases them into the custody of the poxy-faced arms of Blighty.
Defendants:
1. JOHNNY TILLOTSON's, 'POETRY IN MOTION'. Miss Ireland thinks the lyric is, 'SHE'S LIKE A TREE IN MOTION'
+
2. Skiffle-man and Jimmy Page, sideman, LONNIE DONNEGAN, with 'LIVELY' testimonial
After a jury* (usually composed of 'whose currently snogging"), hears the case, deliberates, and within a split-second, tritely disposes of the accused [in what would be, i'd imagine, a fair trial in someplace like Guinea or Ghana], the Jukebox Lord pushes a button and the next defendant is slapped on the stand. 'Jukebox Jury' is compulsory viewing if you're an archivist at a stock footage company in the meatpacking district of Manhattan trying to cleanse your pallate with a little 16mm sorbet from the industrial footage you've been cataloging since Halloween. All in All, I Liked It!
NINA AND FREDERIK: Songs from 'Verdens rigeste pige' 1958
*Apparently the first editions had a fixed panel including Pete Murray, Alma Cogan and a "teenagers'" view from Susan Stranks who later went on to become the nation's favourite alternative to Blue Peter.

CINEMATHEQUE FRANCAISE: HENRI LANGLOIS [1986]

WHAT DO YOU DO? JUST WAKE UP IN BOSNIA, HERZEGOVINA, AND SAY, "HEY, LEMME SEARCH FOR JERRY JEFF WALKER'S 'MR. BOJANGLES'!"? HOW DO I KEEP UP WITH THAT
For those who aren't familiar with the story of Mr Bogangles [SIC]
Who knew. I thought Mr. Bojangles was an old black guy, who drank a bit, according to the lyrics of Jerry Jeff Walker. Well, it seems we've got the guy from the parallel universe - a white Mr Bogangles. He has also been called John Doe, "Skippy", and a litany of misspellings of his real name - Jimmy Naramore.
Jimmy, rni# 4984, has been booked into the county jail 108 times. His charges are mainly misdemeanors, like public drunk, public intoxication (isn't that the same), disorderly conduct, criminal tresspass, pedestrian soliciting a ride or business, carrying a knife, obstructing a highway, failure to appear, dui, reckless endangerment, vandalism under 500, and even criminal littering! Well he also has a couple of felonies too - grand larceny, agg burglary and agg assault. It appears this time, he was arrested on a warrant for failure to do right.

Where is this guy's family ? Any brothers, sisters, etc ?
Sure he has family, but he has become the author of his own destruction, just like the rest of us, and I doubt they want him around.
Many families are forced to turn their kin out, because they get tired of being taken for granted, by a person who lies, cheats and steals at every opportunity. It could be a mental disorder, drug addiction, a person who is just plain evil, or any combination of the above.
Mr B needs at least 1 year in the county lockup every time he returns to 201 on a charge. At some point, maybe he will leave Memphis. He obviously doesn't get it, and my prediction is - he never will. The best we can hope for is that he leaves us.
I'm resurrecting my plea for donations to purchase bus tickets to San Francisco for all our "thugs"!
