Don Letts with music producer and 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman on Singers & Players War of Words (99-002 LP) and Adrian Sherwood’s label: “I mean all the early On-u stuff is absolutely essential.”
In There And Black Again: The Autobiography Of Don Letts (Omnibus Press) we learn the fate of a screenplay (“inspired by Linton Kwesi Johnson’s Five Nights of Bleeding”) bought by the adventurous producer Michael White (Gracie Otto’s The Last Impresario) and its connection to Franco Rosso’s Babylon, co-written with Martin Stellman, starring Brinsley Forde, and a soundtrack put together by Dennis Bovell (The Slits Cut producer). Martin Scorsese, The Punk Rock Movie, Robert De Niro, The King of Comedy, Jerry Lewis, and The Clash shows at Bonds also have a link to Don Letts.
Music producer and 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman met Don Letts at The Roxy 45 years ago and was invited by Bernie Rhodes...

St. Charles County in Missouri will pay three Al Jazeera jounalists who were tear-gassed during their coverage of the 2014 uprising in Ferguson, Missouri.
The three were covering the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death in that community when they were caught up in the tear gas deployed by the st. Charles County Swat team, who were part of the force assisting in the situation.
St. Charles County agreed to pay $280,000 in total to the three, according to the law firm Lathrop Gpm, which represented the journalists.
The Al Jazeera America journalists — correspondent Ash-har Quraishi, producer Marla Cichowski and photojournalist Sam Winslade — were preparing for a live broadcast when confronted by the Swat team. Officers fired tear gas toward them, and later claimed their move was in response to protesters in the same vicinity throwing rocks and bottles at them. They also claimed they did not know the Al Jazeera team was a news crew.
