Great telecast! Heartbreaking to see such a talent end so short. My bud brought him up after we discussed an 80's Vanity Fair article about Joe. Thanks for the upload!

@mooneepondskid Agreed. Ramsay isn't right, namby pamby so called intellectual. KH was lonely and jealous of Orton and his success. He took out a great talent. Murder is murder.
