Mike Pinder, original Moody Blues member, 82.

He’s one of the very first guys who put the Mellotron on the map. Unmistakable sound.

Damn.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

I remember loving Romancing the Stone when I was a kid. Wonder how awful it is.

Me too, and I bet it’s at least ok. Those two are honest to goodness movie stars, and they made a sequel. And at least one more movie with DeVito.

I don’t remember much about the story, but Kathleen Turner was gorgeous in those days.

I watched it a while back with my girls, and I thought it was still great. You can tell that Michael Douglas had a BLAST doing that movie.

watched it a couple of months ago and I thought it held up pretty well. The mudslide scene is one of my earlier in theater moments I remember.
