The Lawsuits Thread

It's just a thought but maybe the plan was always for Elaine to leave? Appeal lawyers need a reason for the appeal. Given that Rottenborn was very pro trying the case around first ammendment rights, and Elaine clearly went south and the trial was organized around demonstrating JD was a total drug ad...

The Lawsuits Thread

Did anyone else hear that AH is bringing on two new lawyers -- David L Aexelrod and Jay Ward Brown from the law firm of Ballard Spahr as her legal appellate counsel in preparation for filing the June 1, 2022 defamation trial? Rottenborn will remain co-counsel and Elaine is stepping down? The two new...

Johnny Depp to Direct Modigliani Biopic

I got curious, of course, and went looking for the original play written by Dan McIntyre. It first ran Off Broadway in 1978 to generally good reviews, then ran again in 2002 again Off Broadway. I am assuming that the two quotes below are from the 2004 version. "A wild, funny and moodily provocative ...

“18” , the Album, is Stunning!

Here we are over a month since those albums arrived, and my copy continues to make me so very happy. I have to admit to listening to it twice daily through July, to and from work, and now in August bringing the album with me every time I drive some place. It's become a kind of comfort, a solace or e...

I have to figure that Johnny will be okay, no matter what craziness appears in the media. I agree with Joni -- look at this stuff with great caution, it's so negative, do you need negative roaming around your brain?

Besides, lucky us, we have that beautiful album to fill our heads. :twohearts:

This is going to be a long two years, folks and from what I can see is that every time he gets attention her PR tries to stir things up. There will be a LOT more things being said about each of them on SM. Some of them could be true and some of them may not be true but when there is clear evidence,...

I am so glad he lives in Europe. I hope he stays there. This end of pool is too toxic. After that negative thought, I am sitting here at 11pm in Maryland and just now I am listening to the first song on '18' played on the radio, an NPR station. It's Jeff's opening song, and wow, I did not think tha...

Just FYI, some of the lawyers I watch were critical of Harvard Lawyer Lee's legal correctness in some of her analysis. I don't know if it was this particular video or another one, just be aware that sampling several opinions can give slightly different shades of law. Hey there! The only reason I po...

The attached video is very straightforward and quickly deals with the latest irrelevant story that the media is pushing abouth JD -- nude photos etc.

Re: Johnny to receive Lifetime New Generation Beat Poet Laureate Award

No question I learned an incredible amount about the Beats, Kerouac and Ginsburg from Johnny. He pointed the way, he taught, and I followed. It was such a new beginning for me. I was on my own with two young girls and not a clue as to what to do next, I fell into Johnny and my mind opened up. Note t...

“18” , the Album, is Stunning!

The CD came last night. I don't have anything I can use to actually play a CD (long story) 'cept the car. So, after work I put the CD in and took off somewhere listening to every single track. It's rare to find an album that is absolute perfection. But this one is. What? The name '18' makes sense no...

Here is a YouTube version of Janis singing Stars in 1974. It’s a truly lovely performance (well, in my opinion
anyway)
Thank you so much justintime! It's such a very beautiful song. :flashingheart:

“18” , the Album, is Stunning!

I am impatiently waiting for my CD to arrive and so I have 'cheated' just a bit and listened to the tiny excerpts of each track that are online. I particularly fell for Stars , which I don't think has been featured in any of the concerts -- but I could be wrong. Had not heard this Janis Ian song bef...

I just saw this article. It contains a really great testimonial from Courtney Love. JD saves another life. https://meaww.com/instagram-influencer-claims-johnny-depp-slammed-mainstream-media-before-defamation-trial Good piece. I particularly enjoyed his comments about the media. How sadly true. Than...
