  • He could only have come out of the midblands

  • 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!

  • "Nobody's ever made me laugh like Joe - he's just SO FUNNY"

    great sentence to end such a sad story

  • I wish I could thump that creepy old amateur psychologist Ramsay with a hammer!

  • Thank you, that was absolutely fascinating.

  • @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.

  • Nice to finally see this, thanks for sharing.

  • Can't agree with that...Ken murdered Joe.

  • Once again, thanks for uploading.

    I always enjoy your posts!
