The Rock Relic

“The” Settlement, Ron Ryan and more …

by Chuck Hinson on March 18th, 2008

WHOA!!!  Now, if that ain’t enough to clabber yer grits, ain’t nothin’ gonna! (Yes, it’s a Sutthun expression! So?)
On Monday, a British judge evidently thought the poor, defenseless little bitc … ummm, Heather Mills … needed something to help her buy groceries!
So, according to the ReliContacts, she got $48.6 million — $33 mil-and-change in cash, and the rest in assets (note: she only had that word half-completed).
And Macca only has to pay 70G a year in support for their 4-year-old, Beatrice (okay … lemme ’splain why I said “only”:  since when is Ms. Lookit-Me-I-Married-A-Beatle more valuable than her child?  Shouldn’t the payments be the other way ’round?).
Oh … one more thing:  Better read this while ya can, ’cause Fairweather Heather’s goin’ back to court tomorrow (Tuesday) to get these procedings (and the payout) sealed.

ABOUT PETER:  Now, I haven’t gotten word from Lin about Pete’s doin’s today yet, but, y’know, I was just thinkin’ about him and this time of year.  Y’see Easter’s a time when Christians around the globe celebrate Christ’s Resurrection.  It’s interesting that, at this same time of year, we’re seein’ Pete Dintino’s resurrection from leukemia, as such.  No, I’m obviously not puttin’ him on the same level as The Man; but he has gone through a terrible persecution, and it tried to ”nail him down”.  But it hasn’t let it keep him down!
Anyway, it’s just a thought (hang on to it; you know I don’t have those often!) …

A NEW SONG FROM RON RYAN

(NOTE: This is actually a “two-fer”. First, you’ll hear Ron doing his song, Anyone But You — then another version of the same song, performed by the amazing rocker, John Hesterman. Now, since the site I normally use to link his songs from is now “locked” by the owner,  I’m linkin’ the music from the Rock Talk site.  It’ll mean more music all the time for you Rockaholics.
Btw, my present rock workload is takin’ my time away from doing the rasslin’ site, so the boss is transferring it to someone else.  I’ve no problem with that, natch … “rock’s” my middle name (well, actually, its Francis, but … awww, just go with it, okay??) and my life (well, that … and havin’ a heartbeat …).
So, without further jawjackin’ from me, let me introduce you to Ron Ryan and John Hesterman, doing their respective versions of Ron’s song:

Anyone But You (Ron’s original version)
Anyone But You (Sir John of Hesterman’s version)

 Once again, my thanks to Ron (and John) for graciously allowing me the opportunity to share these songs with you. Now, remember: if ya need a “refresher” on Ron’s contribution to the Dave Clark Five’s success, you can either go to his site or my post on the subject (now, for his role in Bits and Pieces, go to my HoF post.
To find out more about the magical musical machine (and fab heart) that is John Hesterman, just go to John Hesterman.com — you’re gonna be amazed by his talent and ability!! The Relic’s honored to call him “friend”, believe me!

Well, that’s it for this go’round. Next up: Along with updates on Peter (and, of course, the ever-so-subtle rock news, I’ll deliver on some RockMail requests for more vidlinks to The Fore!
So, until then, remember: Keep your eyes on the skies, your feet on the ground, your heart with the music (and Pete Dintino) … and I’ll see ya on the flip side!
