He had a list: a boy a knife a tragedy

He did not have a weapon with him police said but a knifewas found at the house. It was “a pretty horrific crime scene”said Superintendent Sue Waites. There were reports that the so-called death list or hate bookwas found inside his backpack. The teenager was the couple’s only child but his father had twoadult children from an earlier marriage. His oldest son 33 spentthe day with his father’s family on Monday visiting his recentlymarried sister. He told the Herald he noticed nothing thatwould suggest any problems with the family or his half-brother… Reports of the teenager’s “list” first circulated three yearsago said classmates who approached the Herald. Those whohad not heard of it found out yesterday. ne classmate said the teenager would listen to loud heavy-metalmusic and play violent video games such as Manhunt in whichvirtual enemies are killed in increasingly bloody ways. He had few friends and was often bullied but he kept grudgesrather than fight back. “He was really quiet. But he wasn’t nicequiet.
Neil Aspinall wasn’t paid to spill the beans

Kerry Katona’s singing career and Katie Price’s modelling career are ancillary to their careers as people living their lives in public. The number of people who go out and buy Paul McCartney’s new single will I daresay be dwarfed by the number who will go out and buy a Hello! or K! magazine reporting on his ugly divorce. Music magazines that report the professional doings of pop stars have withered on the vine while shiny magazines reporting their private behaviour swamp the supermarket shelves. Top of the Pops and the ld Grey Whistle Test languish in mothballs; Celebrity Wife Swap Celebrity Big Brother I’m A Celebrity … Get Me ut f Here! and Celebrity Fistula Clinic Live are thriving. nce we cherished glimpses into the lives of the famous in the hopes of discovering that these colossi were at root “just like us”. Now “just like us” is the prerequisite and the basis for fame: we build the colossus from the ground up starting with the feet of clay. This is not automatically a bad thing.
Wacky and strange but true
The Villager – Mar 26, 2008
But when the wildly coiffed redhead in leopard-print trousers sat down before the grand piano with a glass of beer and launched into a set of vaudevillian songs it was evident that Baby Dee was no novelty act. Sure her playful between-song patter and cackling laughter had the room in stitches but there was more substance here than befits a cabaret performer. Performing her new album “Safe Inside The Day” in its entirety she made clear that her outsized persona was merely the vehicle for delivering her catchy songbook with an expressive voice to a crowd that responded to her like a legend—not as the fringe character she may have been cast… on bass and a gaggle of other backing musicians they recorded the album last year. The result is a boldly entertaining LP that is heartbreaking amusing and occasionally deranged. When she sings “Life is bitter and death is sweet” one wonders what this otherworldly soul knows that we don’t. In this age of total access and global influence the clichéd description “one of a kind” seems as obsolete as an eight-track. Musicians are pumped out assembly-style by the music industry hoping for one to stick to the collective consciousness but with an outrageous personal history and a musical genre both experimental and poetic it is safe to say that Baby Dee is the only inhabitant of her strange beautiful world. You can’t help but pull for an artist who unabashedly dives into her work like Baby Dee does. Trust that she is as authentic as they get.
