Sam Humphries' singular possessive apostrophe

January 30, 2012

Correction: January 29, 2012

An earlier version of this article incorrectly described imagery from “The Shining.” The gentleman seen with the weird guy in the bear suit is wearing a tuxedo, but not a top hat.

~~Phil Spector & Ronnie Spector~~

By her account, Phil kept Ronnie a near-prisoner and limited her opportunities to pursue her musical ambitions. In her autobiography, she said that he would force her to watch the film Citizen Kane to remind her she would be nothing without him. Spector’s domineering attitude led to the dissolution of their marriage. Bennett was forbidden to speak to the Rolling Stones or tour with the Beatles, because Phil Spector feared that she would be unfaithful.^{[citation needed]}

Bennett claims Spector showed her a gold coffin with a glass top in his basement, promising to kill and display her if she left him. During Spector’s reclusive period in the late 1960s, he reportedly kept his wife locked inside their mansion^[3]. She claimed he also hid her shoes to dissuade her from walking outside, and kept the house dark because he did not want anyone to see his balding head. Ronnie stated in her autobiography that she walked out of the house through the closed and locked rear sliding glass door, shoeless, shattering the glass as she left, and feet all cut up by the time she got to the gate. She never returned. (.)

All That Jass

If you watched Twin Cities television during the 1970s, you remember Mel Jass—host of Mel’s Matinee Movie on WTCN (Channel 11 before it changed its call letters to KARE) and the best damned pitchman this television market has ever seen. Here’s a short montage of some of his best work, compiled by the Museum of Broadcasting, to commemorate his induction into the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2007. Mel died in 1997 at the age of 80.

It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…
