According to Geldof, he wrote the song after reading a telex report at Georgia State University’s campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children in a school playground at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, on 29 January 1979, killing two adults and injuring eight children and one police officer.

Spencer showed no remorse for her crime; her full explanation for her actions was “I don’t like Mondays.

I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better.

Last Words – Pete Ham – Bio

Pete Ham
Born April 27, 1947 – Died April 24, 1975
Welsh Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Founding member of Badfinger.

Last Words – Pete Ham – Note

After Badfinger’s transition from Apple Records to Warner Brothers, Badfinger became embroiled in many internal, financial and managerial problems and their music was stifled.

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-last-words-pete-ham-2

By 1975, with no income and the band’s business manager non-communicative, Ham became despondent and he hanged himself in the garage of his Surrey home, three days before his 28th birthday.

At the time of his death his Blood alcohol content was estimated to have been 0.27%.

He was 27 years old. He left behind a pregnant girlfriend (his daughter was born one month after his death).

His suicide note had the statement:

I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better

His suicide note also had an accusatory blast toward Badfinger’s business manager, Stan Polley, with Ham writing:

“P.S. Stan Polley is a soulless bastard

I will take him with me

Last Words – Pete Ham – Apple Records

Apple Records was a record label founded by The Beatles in 1968, as a division of Apple Corps Ltd. It founded and produced many notable acts, including Mary Hopkin, James Taylor, Badfinger, and Billy Preston.

The “Come and Get It” was the name of a song composed by Paul McCartney for the 1969 film The Magic Christian, and made popular by the group Badfinger.

Last Words – Pete Ham – 27 Club

The 27 Club is a list consisting mostly of popular musicians, artists, or actors who died at age 27. Although the claim of a “statistical spike” for the death of musicians at that age has been repeatedly disproved by research, it remains a cultural phenomenon, documenting the deaths of celebrities, some noted for their high-risk lifestyles. Names are often put forward for inclusion, but because the club is entirely notional, there is no official membership.

Sunny

June 28, 2020 by John B. Whalen, Jr., Esq. Leave a Comment

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-trust-living-sunny

Bobby Hebb

Robert (“Bobby”) Von Hebb
Born July 26, 1938 – Died August 3, 2010
American Singer Songwriter

Bobby Hebb – “Sunny”

Bobby Hebb wrote the song in the 48 hours following a double tragedy on November 22, 1963, the day U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Hebb’s older brother Harold was stabbed to death outside a Nashville nightclub.

Hebb was devastated by both events and many critics say that those events inspired the lyrics & tune.

According to Hebb, he merely wrote the song as an expression of a preference for a “sunny” disposition over a “lousy” disposition following the murder of his brother.

All my intentions were to think of happier times & pay tribute to my brother – basically looking for a brighter day – because times were at a low.

Bobby Hebb – Note

“Sunny” has been recorded by many artists.

These include Jamiroquai, Cher, Boney M, Georgie Fame, Johnny Rivers, Oscar Peterson, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, Leonard Nimoy, two different versions from Frankie Valli, the Four Tops, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Les McCann, Wes Montgomery, Dusty Springfield, and Classics IV.

“As I Come Clean” – Pearl Jam

“Just Breathe”
Released October 31, 2009
Pearl Jam

“As I Come Clean” – Pearl Jam – Note

… Dear Me …

… “as I come clean” …

… I lost a great friend the other day …

… (same way when Jeremy Spoke In Class Today) …

… on one hand, I feel like writing to him …

… but on the other hand, I cannot …

… so I am not quite sure as to how to do this …

… I want to tell everyone that he is no longer here …

… but then again I do not…

… I want to tell everyone how I feel …

… but I don’t know how I feel …

… I want to tell everyone what he meant to me …

… but I haven’t come to terms with that …

… I want to hug his wife and somehow ensure her she will be okay …

… but I am helpless with that endeavor …

… So I guess I will just breathe today …

… I do not know what I will do tomorrow …

… But I will be back …

… Peace …

… Love love love, etc. …

“Just Breathe” – Live At Austin City Limits – Pearl Jam

Yes I understand
That every life must end
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go

Yeah I’m a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
Yeah others they got none

Stay with me
Let’s just breathe

Practised on our sins
Never gonna let me win
Under everything
Just another human being

I don’t want to hurt
There’s so much in this world
To make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
‘Cause I come clean

I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me ’till I die
Meet you on the other side

Indifference

On Indifference – Bio

Robin McLaurin Williams
July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014
American actor and comedian.

On Indifference – Robin Williams – Tributes

Robin Williams’ death was instant global news. The entertainment world, friends, and fans responded to his death through social and other media outlets.

His wife, Susan Schneider, said: “I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken.”

wayne-pa-probate-lawyers-mental-capacity-robin-williams-indifference-2

His daughter Zelda Williams responded to his death by stating that the “world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence”.

U.S. President Barack Obama said of Williams: “He was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.”

On Indifference – Robin Williams – “Patch Adams”

What’s wrong with death sir?

What are we so mortally afraid of?

Why can’t we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity and decency and, god forbid, maybe even humour.

Death is not the enemy gentlemen.

If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all.

Indifference.
