Care to elaborate?

I'll be interested in Duke's answer myself. I know he never met a lawsuit he didn't like and years ago I came across this tale of woe that some dude went thru trying to get some rare items signed.

Uncle Duke

The guy was a legendary asshole.  I knew/worked with a number of people who had dealings with him, including my then boss on the F-20 program in the early 80s when Yeager was working for Northrop.  I had one encounter with him.

Ah cool about Morgan Fairchild. I've seen her interviewed from time to time and she came across as bright and not dead inside. Glad that impression rings true.
Regarding Yeager, most of the lawsuit stuff seems to have been from recent years so I was hoping it was his youngish 2nd wife just doing it in his name. For awhile it seemed like every other month you would read about a him suing some entity or other.  Seems like the old man was jerk enough without the sweet thing onboard.

The story last year about him suing Airbus because they mentioned him in passing in a press release was ludicrous.  There was also the messy suits against his own children.

Hmm...maybe he really was an asshole but perhaps he was just having a bad day for some reason. Just the fact that he didn’t feel like ingratiating himself to the public that day doesn’t necessarily qualify him though. I mostly know of him through the movie The Right Stuff and for the fact that he put his name to an early PC flight combat sim I used to play.

Richard Corben died on Dec 2 after complications with heart surgery. He was 80 years old. He’s probably best known for his cover art of Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell album but I knew him best for the work he contributed to Heavy Metal magazine. I was a big fan of his work and even wrote him a letter when I was in highschool to which he responded.

That cover art and the album are true classics.

Q magazine listed the cover as number 71 in its list of "The Hundred Best Record Covers of All Time."

My late mother was a huge Charlie Pride fan...huge talent.

My parents too. They even went to see him in concert once. This one is one of my favs of his:

The syphilis finally hit paydirt I suppose. I guess they can't keep him on ice until the Trumpster leaves office? 
Biden, Barky and Bush will be there and they can't not invite the sitting President, can they? 

Awkward

The misspelling of Rothschild tells me this is probably garbage. There is much disinformation coming out of Canada.

I’m guessing it’s due to the beer and doughnuts.

Probably just an escort to a chauffeured convoy to some elite Christmas Eve party.

Oh he would just be a joy at a party. I'll hold out for a flight to Gitmo. One way.

He’ll be here posting long, incomprehensible ramblings and lamenting over long lost cat ladies in no time.

P.S. -  Bring pics.

She went on to leave another tweet about her FBI source relaying that he was being questioned about a trafficking ring that was being run out of infamous hotel in downtown L.A. and that it tied to many prominent politicians, celebrities, and elites.

Then she deleted it?
