And they’ve confirmed cause of death now…
How awful… Poor Aubrey Plaza…
For those who’d rather not toss a click CNN’s way:
He died by suicide, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. Baena was 47.
“ In 1970, he was convicted and served three months in prison for “taking indecent liberties with a minor” after a 14-year-old, Barbara Winter, said that when she went to his hotel room in Washington DC in search of an autograph, he answered the door naked and made her touch him until he ejaculated.
Yarrow was granted a presidential pardon by Jimmy Carter the day before Carter’s presidency ended in January 1981. In 2019, Yarrow’s planned performance at the Colorscape Chenango arts festival in New York state was cancelled owing to resurfaced awareness of the conviction.
“I do not seek to minimise or excuse what I have done and I cannot adequately express my apologies and sorrow for the pain and injury I have caused,” he told the New York Times then.
In 2021, Winter said she was not informed of the pardon before reading about it in the press. It felt “like you got sucker-punched in the gut”, she told the Washington Post, which said the pardon was “perhaps the only one in US history wiping away a conviction for a sexual offence against a child”, and noted that it had gone unnoticed at the time, being granted hours before US hostages in Iran were freed.”
This is a few years old but the intro clears up the marijuana angle once and for all.
Try not to cry as you watch.
I did not know that part.
I have always found Peter, Paul and Mary collectively creepy.
Why would watching that predator make me cry? Maybe for his victim(s)?
(As for that song, I’ve always hated it and don’t care whether it’s about smoking pot or not.)
Good old Amy!!!
Maybe the next Shrek movie will be dedicated to Perry. “For Perry”
I have it on good authority that Perry was a platypus. Or was he a mason?
Awwwww, Como now.
