Steve Slayton is The Best Radio DJ in The Business!

KZOK Rocks man! You are the HOTTEST for sure. I listen online sometimes, and just about any time in my car while driving to work, or catching a cool rock show. I saw my all time favourite, Paul McCartney 5 times, and The Stones 5 times as well!  I wrote my first album When I got sick from paratanitous in 1997, and spent about 28 days in the hospital with major surgery’s. It includes the song “Radio Man” which I wrote for your Former  DJ Man  and trivia Rock King, Mr. Steve Slayton, Now relocated to 95.7 KJR Oldies Station. He is the best in the business you know!  It appears on my “I’m Alive’ cd that I wrote and produced. Here are the lyrics:

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong
Oh radio man, don’t take too long
Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

Music make the world go ’round
Dollar for dollar, pound for pound
So sing a sweet song when you know I’m down
Oh Radio man , wipe off this frown, wipe off this
frown

Keep playing your music, don’t stop too soon
Radio rocket shoot me up to the moon
Oh Radio man, come on and keep me in tune
Come on and keep me in tune
(Repeat chorus)

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong
Oh radio man, don’t take too long
Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

A.M. F.M. whatever it takes
Crank up the music end keep me awake
Oh Radio man I dig the music you make,
I dig the music you make
A Flugelhorn or a Bass Guitar
Maracas, piano, exotic sitar
Oh Radio man I think you’re a star, think you’re a
star
(Repeat chorus)

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong
Oh radio man, don’t take too long
Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

My radio’s blasting, mile after mile
Thanks to you brother I’m cruising in style
Oh Radio man, let’s rock for a while, let’s rock for a
while

Oh Radio man, keep on singing
I feel your vibrations, my ears are still ringing
You’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man
Yes you’re part of the plan, my Radio man,
my Radio man
Keep on, keep on giving,
so I’ll have reason to keep on living
You’re part of the plan
My Radio man, My Radio man
My Radio man, My Radio man

Steve Slayton has to be  My favourite Radio D.J. of all time! He recently has relocated to KJR 95.7 Radio in Seattle!  I have grown up with your killer classic rock and roll stories and various attributes. His “Breakfast with the Beatles” specials have always been  incredible! I am thrilled to see that He is back on the air! Very cool!

I also got to see Steve  broadcast live at some bar in down town Tacoma in 2002 when Paul McCartney was doing his “Driving Rain” tour at the Tacoma dome. It was awesome! He gave away a ton of cool gifts, and was broadcasting live from the venue just before the shoe. Then I took the Radio Station sponsored bus over to the Tacoma Dome to see the show!

I travelled to England twice to see The Beatles sacred stomping grounds. The first time was in 1992 where I stayed about 21 days, 3 of the in Paris though. I spent 10 days in Liverpool and the rest in London which I loved so much that I went back for another 9 days in 1997, I love Abbey Road and sniffing that Beatles air! Really! In fact Michael Moore is going to put me in his movie “Sicko” and use footage of me walking on my hands across Abbey Road in 1997, and falling down, dislocating my shoulder, but receiving FREE medical attention through their International healthcare plan. So look for me in Hollywood soon, or at least on the big screen!

So here is more about me. I am lucky to make a great living in the music field for a solid 14 years as a Music DJ and Karaoke consultant. Feel free to use it as you like and edit if for content. Here is my website!

Remembering Romain Helke (RIP 10-16-2009) My Best friend is dead at 50…..

 

 Remembering Romain Helke… My Best friend is dead at 50…..

(RIP 10-16-2009)

Romain E. Helke was my best friend for some 3 decades. He was a
talented and brilliant man, and the world is not quite the same without him in it! May he rest in peace! Do I miss Him? Yes I do!
Romain basically drank and smoked himself to death.  A very tragic way to go. The last time I saw him was June of 2008 when we went to see the Paul Rogers concert at the casino. I had just started dating Mimi and showed him a pile of pictures from our ocean shores vacation. I was anxious to have him meet her. I continued to call and email but there was no response at all for a good year and half, I went to see a mutual friend, Jeff Glander, and told of this dilemma. He informed me that He had some heart surgery and had a pacemaker or something similar installed. He said he wanted to get with me but was not really seeing anybody. Jeff told me to send him an mail which I did  more than once. I continued to reach out, but to no avail. I never did get any response back from him. I was quite bummed.
Just this last Saturday I got a call from Jeff. The bad news was that on Monday, October 16th, Ro passed out on his kitchen floor by a heart attack. He never made it to work and he has good work ethic. His boss was suspicious and went to his home in Auburn and found him lying face down in the kitchen.
I will attending the Memorial Service at Forest Lawn in Lacey this Wednesday at 10pm.. I am very bummed about this. I would have liked to have said good bye at least! It is weird, because the day before I heard the news we were watching video of Romain and myself playing music and being silly. It was sort of a psychic connection. This happens to me when people a admire and value die.. Somehow I am able to pick up on their energy.
We were literally best friends for 29 years. I met him at The Living Water church back  in 1980. We became room mates and then maintained a great friendship for almost 3 decades.  We had a ton of things in common. We never seemed to miss a Seahawks game. We went to California 1991 in my van and saw Disneyland, Universal Studios, and The San Diego Zoo. We even went into Tijuana and partied our butts off. I videotaped about 4 hours of that trip, and I still have the tapes! Fun trip.Ro bought a boat with his friend Jeff. For about ten years we took many fun trips to Lake Chelan, where we camped on the docks and watched dvd concerts until midnight. WE also went to Lake Washington many times, Summit lake, Black Lake, and Puget Sound numerous times. I have many pictures an fond memories of these times with him.
We went to see Paul McCartney at the Key Arena in October of 2005. This was an incredible show, and there is no one I would have rather attended this event with in the entire  world. We both LOVE McCartney, and  had a blast!  We also saw Travis Tritt at the Puyallup Fair, Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard,  and Paul Rogers at various times at various at the Casinos in Rochester, and Tacoma.
When he moved to Tacoma, we never missed a Seahawks game. We alternated every Sunday, and even caught several games live at the Kingdome, and Husky stadium when they played there for a season. When he moved to Auburn for work purposes, our visits became less frequent because of nasty traffic and long distances, but we maintained communication over the phone and by emails and stuff.Romain was King of the coupon! We loved to save money on 2 for 1 meals, and did so often. It was also a game to see how much cash rewards we cold make off our credit cards. Never  more than a couple hundred dollars, but we had fun doing it!
We both loved music. Especially the Beatles. We would bring our guitars up to Seattle and play at the water parks for anyone passing by. We both enjoyed live concerts on of our favourite bands, and often copied each others acquisitions onto video tape or dvd. Ro had a great voice and was a good songwriter as well.So I lost my best friend, and it hurts! I still have the memories, many videos, and pictures. I wish we had a proper goodbye.. I can see why he never returned my calls this last year and half. He was private man, and a very sick one. I wish I could have been there to call 911 and somehow prevent this tragedy. I miss him very much. “Let it be” by The the Beatles was always his favourite song. WE even did a 4 track recording of it and made a cool lip sync MTV style video of it. When that song comes on the airwaves I always think of him. His memory will live on, but somehow I feel like I have lost very big part of myself along the way. It is hard to let Him go, but without choice in the matter I will have to move along and “Let it Be”…   I look forward to seeing him in the sky someday!
Your Best Friend and Confidant!

Helke, Romain E., 50, Auburn, died Monday, Oct. 12, 2009, at home. Woodlawn Funeral Home, Lacey, 360-491-3000.
(The Two of Us in 1990 over at Jeff Glanders House)
The memorial For a Best Friend! Ro E. Helke

The memorial was great! I was able to connect with a bunch of my
friends from the old days including the Thompsons. My old friend, Paul,
with whom I had lost touch with, played an original song that Romain
had written decades ago and told some great stories. I touched base
with his parents and offered my condolences, and his His Sister Dawn,
and His brother Richard gave great eulogy’s that were personal and very
easy to relate to. They mentioned His love of boating, music, and food!
They had a wonderful power point tribute with fitting Beatles and Paul
McCartney music as a background to some nostalgic pictures of my buddy
Ro. Jeff and Beth Glander were there, as well as Greg Crawford and
others that wanted to pay respect for Romain. I was asked to sort of MC
the friends statements and bring the microphone around to all the
guests to share fitting memories of a wonderful man. A few tears were
shed and we all went home with sweet memories.

 In fact, just last night I had a vivid dream that I was on vacation
with Romain in a cabin on some lake somewhere, somehow. I would Him that
everyone thought he was dead and I was so happy to see we were wrong
and that He was still alive. This seemed so real to me, that really do
believe our spirits were together once again to share a moment or two.
When I awoke though, I realized I had been sleeping, but somehow a cool
breeze hit me just right, and I felt like there was something to this
encounter. Perhaps a message for us all to let His loved ones know that
all is well, and things will be al-right. I believe that too! Long live
“Rocking Ro”. His memory WILL endure.

(Here is what some of His Friends have said about Him!)

Eric, that was very sweet. I loved reading your writings
about olRomaine...we all loved him. (Beth Glander)

Eric... you were not the last one to find out.
I was the only friend of romaine's that Dick called...
you were the first one I called, (minutes after Dick
told me), then I called Gregg Crawford. I assume He
then immediately called Paul Thompson. The word spread
from there. (Jeff Glander)

****************************

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I know it sounds cliché, but he is
in a better place and truly relieved of his earthly pains
forever.  Death,like birth, is an essential part of God's overall plan for
us and is actually a rebirth to the next phase of life. Celebrate
his life instead ofmourning his death.  Isn't that what he would want? Thanks
for coming to the party Saturday and we'll see you guys
soon. Cheers! (Rene' Emondt)
"And in the end, the Love you take, is equal to the Love
 you make."

****************************

 Wow Eric..... I was just making mention of Romain to Donna a couple nights ago, Can't
remember what the context was... Have often wondered what he had been up to
lately. I never would have imagined him smoking and drinking the way he did
when we were young, but...
  I always liked Romain's healthy cynicism and caustic sense of humour. I'm
sorry you lost such a good friend.
Do you remember Mark Duxbury? He just died last Tuesday. 49 years old. He
was a good friend back in the early teenage years. Clarinet player. I had
recently been trying to make contact with him, with no success. Now I won't,
at least on this side. These people were too young!!
Live Long, (Evan Ogden)
****************************
I’m very sorry to hear about your friend. It’s tough and it’s hard to go through! I wish you comfort, and hope you can remember the good times you had with him.   May you feel peace, (Carole K.)

Questionnaires of a Life Time..

…Life is what happens to you! From Eric,

questionnaires of a Lifetime:  March 2012

So…. The question is this. What would you do if You had a Million Dollars, lets say tax free!)

This is my answer:So I was fascinated by Your question over dinner about what I would do if I had a million bucks! I have taken time to reflect on the answer.

First and foremost, yes, I would take at least half, possibly even $600,000 and do the safe investment that pays me every single month the dividends. This way I would never lose the original capital and would have it to retire on in the future. I heard you could bank a fre grand every month just with the interest on this kind of cash!

Second, if I did happen to have a Mortgage, which I do not, I would pay off any outstanding bills. Maybe that stupid lawsuit that only has 6 months to pay off. Pre-pay my property taxes in advance, renovate my house to get it ready to rent out, but my bills are not that bad! That would be another $1,000  a month to live on and maybe more! Zillow says more like 12 to $1300 for Rental price on my current Tullis Palace and Estate!  This would be a good chunk of change!

Third would be the new Dream house on a Lake. I would prefer to pay cash if possible, so the actual price would have to be known before I could figure out how to spend the rest.

Fourth. I would simply have to give something back to a charity, or cause I believe in. Maybe helping animals, or something to do with Music and the Arts.  I do not know how much, but it would be tax deductible, and make me feel good.

Fifth. I would consider some kind of Business Adventure. Use some of the Capitol perhaps to buy a Tavern, or start a small Pawn Shop, or Cool shop of some kind. Maybe even a Laundromat or some kind of coin operated arcade. I would have to investigate the possibilities!

Somewhere along the way a VACATION would be in there. Some place warm, but I would need to find a friendly travel companion first. I would take loads of pictures for Facebook, videos and more, but be only gone about 10 days at a time.  I have never been to Hawaii, and always wanted to go to Italy! But not as a solo traveller again. No way!

Plus I would be more willing to go to more concerts, and dinners, and things that are a “Luxury” now, since  would be in the green with no worries and a dream house , and loving it! So hat would you do if you had the same opportunity?

Fun question really! I have had a good time with it!

your back yard. I could stay out of trouble just doing
these cool kinds of things.

“I’M ALIVE” The Title Track
Written By Eric Turnbow

I’m alive, listen to me,
I’m alive, feelin’ so carefree
I’m alive,
so happy I’m alive with my faith
to show show show show

My body broke in three places,
but God pulled me through it somehow
I almost left this creation,
but I’ve found my will right now.
God used His doctors to fix me,
and spared my life for awhile.
A miracle’s passing through me;
l’m a brand new man with style.

Oh why was my life spared?
I really need to know
I’m asking but He’s not telling me yet
He knows I need to grow
But you know I’m alive, Oh Yeah Listen to me
I’m alive, Oh yeah, feelin’ so carefree
I’m alive, Dear Lord so happy I’m alive
With my faith to show, yeah, yeah, Whoa oh
With my faith to show, yeah, yeah, Whoa oh

Oh why was my life spared? I really need to know.
I’m asking but He’s not telling me yet,
He knows I need to grow.
But ye’ know I’m alive, oh yeah won’t you listen to
me.
I’m alive dear Lord, and so carefree I’m alive
And trying not to act too cocky, I’m alive
With my faith to show, yeah, yeah, Whoa oh
With my faith to show, yeah, yeah, Whoa oh

HELP ME TO RENEW
Written By Eric Turnbow

Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue
Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue
Dark and forlorn, alone and in doubt
Can’t wait till morn, to let it all hang out
Escape my dreams, anticipation,
Invent new schemes, imagination
Frigid and cold, twilight mist
Feeling so old, easy to admit
Alarms ringing, perspiration clinging
Nipples stinging
But I kept on singing, singing, singing
I kept on singing, singing, singing

(chorus)
Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue
Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue
Where ye gonna be right now?
Tell me what ye’ gonna do? (Help me to renew)
Can you ease the pain somehow?
Are you gonna pull me through? (Help me to renew)
Step up to my plate right now
Help to make my life so rich and true (Help me to
renew)
Give up all you can allow
But please help me
Help me to renew overcome and find a clue
Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue

(Repeat chorus)

Help me to renew, overcome and find a clue.

THIS TIME LAST YEAR
Written By Eric Turnbow

This time last year, I never really learned to love
Push would always come to shove
Didn’t have no inspiration
It was quite clear it was hard to be a man, be a man.

This time last year, the roses didn’t smell as fresh
My taste buds really were a wreck and
I was a hibernating bear
It was quite clear
Life was neither here nor there, here nor there

(chorus)
This year the sparrow calls with sunset meadows,
waterfalls
Intense surroundings, life breathes true
There’s clarity in what I do
My vision keen and hearing tine
Eternal wonder by my side
The music flows from head to toe
Across the mountains overflow
It pours and goes in rivers’ tow
Reminds me of my mortal soul

This time last year, I didn’t know the sun was shining
Had no vision need reminding
Where were you?
I was screwed and blued and real tattooed

(Repeat chorus)

This time last year
This time last year
This time last year
This time last year

SOLITUDE
Written By Eric Turnbow

Solitude, The seagulls flying the water’s calm
Just sitting here alone
Away from the traffic endless noise
or talking on the phone Solitude,
I have no schedules, pressing wants,
important things to do
I’m just sitting here, feeling tree,
and thinking of loving you

Oh this feels so great,
and everything’s in it’s natural State

Solitude
I strum on my guitar as it
echoes through the trees
The big sun it’s a shining,
I hear buzzing from the bees
Solitude
The secrets of the universe,
Unfold before my eyes
They tumble down from the Heavens,
away up in the sky

Oh this feels like home,
Solitude is a pretty poem
Solitude
Solitude
Solitude

CAN’T YOU SEE YOU’RE FREE
Written By Eric Turnbow

Color in rhythm
time without seasons
Riddled confusion of the mind
Life blown asunder
Nature in wonder
Makes me reach up to the sky
To see you’re free

Can’t you see free? Well look at me.

Mansions that glisten
Moonlight reflections
Castles that reach to the sky
Dog on his leash, Strains to see
He can’t see the reason why he’s not tree

Can’t you see you’re free? Well look at me

Delusions of grandeur
Women in make-up
Man with a suitcase and tie
As years go by
I’m wondering why
Why can’t we give it a try?
We’ll still be tree

Can’t you see you’re free? Well look at me

RADIO MAN
(dedicated to Steve Slayton of KZOK Radio.)
(Written by Eric Turnbow)

Radio man, help me belong
Show me what’s right, tell me what’s wrong
Oh radio man, don’t take too long
Or I’ll give up the tight, for the price at a song

Music makes the world go ’round
Dollar for dollar, pound for pound
So sing a sweet song when you know I’m down
Oh Radio man , wipe off this frown, wipe oft this
frown

Keep playing your music, don’t stop too soon
Radio rocket shoot me up to the moon
Oh Radio man, come on and keep me in tune
Come on and keep me in tune
(Repeat chorus)

A.M. F.M. whatever it takes
Crank up the music end keep me awake
Oh Radio man I dig the music you make,
I dig the music you make
A Flugel horn or a Bass Guitar
Maracas, piano, exotic sitar
Oh Radio man I think you’re a star, think you’re a
star
(Repeat chorus)

My radio’s blasting, mile after mile
Thanks to you brother I’m cruising in style
Oh Radio man, let’s rock for a while, let’s rock for a
while

Oh Radio man, keep on singing
I feel your vibrations, my ears are still ringing
You’re part of the plan, my Radio man, my Radio man
Yes you’re part of the plan, my Radio man,
my Radio man
Keep on, keep on giving,
so I’ll have reason to keep on living
You’re part of the plan
My Radio man, My Radio man
My Radio man, My Radio man

CHASING RAINBOWS (WITH YOU)

Written By Eric Turnbow

I’m hot, I’m cold, I’m beautiful and bold
I’m high, I’m low, I’m looking up from down below
I’m left, I’m right, I’m always up all night
I’m weak, I’m strong, and I can do no wrong
I’m near, I’m far, I’m eliding oft a falling star

(chorus)
And oh, in my afterglow
Chasing a rainbow with you
And oh, I can overflow
Learn to lead or follow you
And oh, I never will outgrow
Where you are I’ll go to you
And oh, I’m putting on a show
Your love is bringing me to you

I’m North, I’m South, I love to twist and shout
(shake it up baby – ooh)
I’m black, I’m white, and feeling out of sight
I’m East, I’m West, Glad and sad like all the rest
I’m down, I’m up, I try not to interrupt

I’m day, I’m night, I put up quite a fight
I’m right, I’m wrong, can’t you hear it in my song?
I’m there, I’m here, because you are so near
I’m fat, I’m thin, so deep within my skin

(Repeat chorus twice)

TO MY SURPRISE
Written By Eric Turnbow

To my surprise, to my surprise.
We can socialize , and individualize
We can identity, and rematerialize
When we fantasize, Receive the noble prize
We can commercialize, the corporate advertise

We can legalize, it’s time to localize
We can specialize the way we vocalize
The people organize, and hate to exercise
Preachers moralize and prophets analyze
So let’s familiarize, reach to philosophize
We should maximize but always minimize

(Repeat chorus twice)

Felons victimize all who monopolize
Tabloids scandalize, then they apologize
When we socialize we tend to jeopardize
Then we emphasize, but always terrorize
We need to unionize to become sanctified
If we synchronize we’ll truly sympathize

(Repeat chorus)

The way we criticize end universalize
‘Cause it’s a big disguise
We can analyze,
yes we can visualize
The publics wailing cry
We can rationalize
and immortalize and modernize
Try not to crucify,
satisfy, revitalize

I see the dragon fly

To my surprise, to my surprise.

OH ENGLAND

Spoken ) England’s a barrel of fun,
straight up, I wouldn’t tell you no lie…..

(Chorus)
Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, here we go
Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, here we go

Take a trip to England,
fly across the sea
Take a trip to London,
just you and me
Hang out with the Beatles,
and sing at the BBC
Piccadilly Circus is the place to be

(Repeat chorus)

Dark fog is liftin’,
as we hit Trafalgar Square
Red buses stacked up,
and tourists everywhere
Pigeons lit softly,
on the lion statue’s hair
And the sound of music,
you could hear it in the air

(Repeat chorus)

Bed and breakfast,
with your best friend
Buckingham in the morning,
and it’s off to see Big Ben
Black taxi’s on narrow streets,
take us to Abbey Road
London’s overwhelming,
makes us overload

(Repeat chorus)

Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, it’s time to go

(Spoken) What-cha Mate!
Bloody come over on holiday to merry England
Do the pubs and clubs with a bird on each arm.
Tour by coach and drink a bevy on me gov’

AMSTERDAM
Written By Eric Turnbow

Amsterdam, Amsterdam,
the biggest party in Europe man
Amsterdam, time to jam,
you’re my kind of town Amsterdam,
spend your clams,
when you go out and score a gram
Amsterdam, what a scam,
a dollar, a guilder, or a pound

Amsterdam, old Siam,
Favorite place since Buckingham
Amsterdam, glitter and glam,
excitement sure abounds
Amsterdam, jam the dam,
you’re the envy of Uncle Sam
Amsterdam, what a scam,
a dollar, a guilder, or a pound

Don’t get lost in the red light district,
you may never come back
Prima donnas will consume you,
life turns from white to black In Amsterdam,
Whooo!

Send a telegram to Amsterdam,
My head’s been hit by a batter ram
Amsterdam ain’t no Viet Nam,
you are always around
Amsterdam have a one night stand,
when you sleep with a Madame
Amsterdam what a scam,
a dollar, a guilder, or a pound

Repeat Verse One

A dollar, a guilder, or a pound
A dollar, a guilder, or a pound

FACE THE NATION
Written By Eric Turnbow

Is it time to face the nation?
Can I make an accusation?
A stimulated calculation,
waiting with anticipation
Make it with sincere elation,
wrapped up tight in admiration
Set me free from strangulation,
with high hopes of expectation

Browsing through a publication,
rummage deep in contemplation
Avoiding all the radiation,
with a quick modification
Keep it cold refrigeration,
feel the love and recreation
Avoiding bad association

(chorus)

Ceiling all around,
there’s a bluesy kind of sound
As we roam around the town,
getting lost then bein’ found
As I probe the underground,
quote a Proverb so pro­found
As we drink another round,
get up get down
Get up get down,
get down get down

Sail away on a vacation,
get lost in the vegetation
Going through a transformation,
in a higher elevation
Keep on sleeping hibernation,
shun the damp cold isolation
Longing for a filling station

Miles away from exaltation,
wishing for rejuvenation
Enjoy the awe of God’s creation,
but don’t cough up a cash donation
Search for truth in congregation,
signing up, orientation
Fill it with consideration

(Repeat chorus)
Get loaf in hallucination,
speak direct communication
Stocking up on information,
white lies of exaggeration
Kick your heels in deep frustration,
then move on, con­tinuation
Help increase the population

Nudie bars for stimulation,
lusting hard for fornication
Hoping for gratification,
drooling with intoxication
Cast a spell of incantation,
ruin it with masturbation
Wrap it in some insulation

Is it time to face the Nation?

DAD
Written By Eric Turnbow

Dad I need to tell you
That you’re the only Father
I can call my own
Dad listen to me
When I say that you’re the finest man
I have ever known

(chorus)
And a son needs to tell his Father
That he loves him every once in awhile
And so I’m telling you exactly that today
When I think of all the memories
I have inside of me
I simply have to smile
There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way
Dad Dad Dad Dad

Feeding bears in Yellowstone,
Rock hunting in old San Antone
Ferris wheels, and Disneyland,
and old Mt Rushmore oh so very grand
From the world’s fair called Expo,
to the redwoods way down south
I can sing about memories all day long,
the words keep flowing out of my mouth

(Repeat chorus)

There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way
There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way

DATE THE BLIND
Written By Eric Turnbow

(chorus)
He says he wants to date the blind,
philistines and concubines
Sin with rhythm, rock with rhyme,
a nation working overtime
Ne says he wants to date the blind,
philistines and concubines
Sin with rhythm, rock with rhyme,
a nation working overtime

Even Jack the Ripper needs someone new to kill
Jack Ruby is hollering, “let me out of this jail”
Mahatma Ghandi’s well aware,
that justice will prevail
Pocahontas in the back room,
tryin’ not to fail

He says he wants to date the blind,
philistines and concubines
Sin with rhythm, rock with rhyme,
a nation working overtime

Tm Mcvey commits his crime,
while crawling in his muck and grime
Marcel Marceau will try to mime,
Napoleon to wine and dine
Cleopatra knows she’s in, but
Anne Bolin will lose her skin
Norman Schwartzkopf needs a win,
Jay Leno leading with his chin

(Repeat chorus 3 times)

A nation working overtime
A nation working overtime

I’M ALIVE REPRISE
Written By Eric Turnbow

I’m alive, listen to me,
I’m alive, feelin’ so carefree
I’m alive, so happy
I’m alive with my faith to show show show show

SECOND CHANCE
Written By Eric Turnbow

(chorus)
Am I a better person now?
I’ve got a second chance to live
Am I a better person now?
I didn’t die I’m here to give
I try not to blow it, let love overflow it
Continue to show it, so all souls will know it
I’ve given all I’ve got to give
I’ve given all I’ve got to give

I try to go that extra mile,
to make the world a better place
I’ll lose the frown and keep the smile,
and stay in God’s good grace
Never steal, or lie or cheat,
help the needy in distress
Try to live my life complete,
like all the rest (Repeat chorus)

I’ll try to eat more healthy food,
fresh broccoli and cantaloupe
Let love of music make the mood,
set me tree from the occult
Listen to my fellow man, never tight,
and turn the other cheek
Expand and grow, and live and learn,
and find the answers to what I seek

(Refrain)

Yes I’m a better person now
I’ve got a second chance to live
Yes I’m a better person now,
I didn’t die, I’m here to give
I’m here to give, I’m here to live
This time I won’t blow it, my love overflows it
Continue to show it, and all souls will know it
I’ve given all I’ve got to give!
I’ve given all I’ve got to give!
I’ve given all I’ve got to give!

Many thanks for the thoughtful gifts, Eric. I really enjoy the Neil Young CD and hope the stations will give it plenty of air time.I also enjoyed your card and the artsy pic of me you did on the computer. But best of all, I really really enjoyed and appreciatedyou singing my favourite song, “Dad ” last night. (If I should everpass over into spirit some day and the family holds some kind ofceremony, my onlyrequest is that you sing that song for me one more  time. No matter where  I might be, I promise you that I will hear it and  think of you. You are  a great son and I love you very much and amextremely proud of how you  are handling your life. Love, Dad.

Thanks I will take that!!!!!! This would be my response back to A.W. Turnbow:

I am proud to sing that song for you ANYTIME and especially on Fathers Day or more recently your birthday. That is a very special track that I wrote just for you a long time ago in 1983 and recorded for you in 1997 for inclusion on my all original cd “I’m Alive”. We loved having you at the club for the big birthday 79 party. By the way, it helped me sell another original cd to that“DJ Debby” lady and I got a $5 tip as well. That is an amazing number by the way. Bartender CHRIS is great and had very good things to say about you. And I am proud of you as well my friend! I promise I will perform your song “DAD” at your memorial, but if I have my wish that will not be for another millennium. You are way too healthy. Love your son….

KEEP DRIVING BABY
Written By ERIC TURNBOW  (Key of BMinor)

V1 You said you’d always loved me, but you drove off and left me

You never called, you didn’t cry, No, you perfected your lie

You ran me over, hit and run….. you shattered me life

You thought that it was fun, to poke me in the eye

CH So just keep driving baby….., Don’t bother coming back

I don’t need no boomerang to knock me off my track

Train whistle blowing……, as you motor down I-5

But I closed off your exit ramp, you never will arrive

Just keep drivin’ baby, down lifes lonely one way street

You’re highway has no turnaround, and I’m back on my feet

So just keep driving baby

Yes keep driving baby (last time tag 3 times)

V2 Ocean hide-aways, with Chinese food

Rock and rolling rendezvous to keep you in the mood

Nature walks and tenderness, with late night serenades

Weren’t enough to satisfy, or stop your cheating ways

(Repeat chorus) Guitar solo

V3 I held you under my wing, warm and protected

But now you drive away, and I’m cold and neglected

Don’t come sneaking round my stage again

‘Cause I’ve unplugged your mike

Your songbird voice is worthless now

So just go take a fuckin’ hike……… and just

(Repeat Chorus)

ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDYOUR THE KIND, THAT NOBODY NEEDS
Written by Eric Turnbow

(V1) Word on the wires, you’re back on the street

I heard about you from every pimp I meet

You Put me through hell the first Time around

You brought me up, and than you threw me down

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

(V2) You took me t.v., and you stole my cash

I won’t even ask about my missing stash

You took me to the cleaners when you stole my ring

Baby you’re the girl with the scorpion sting

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

you’re the kind that nobody needs

(Guitar solo) 1 time

(V3) Your skin is soft, but you’re a snake inside

You take two steps forward, but you always backslide

I’m constantly considering a homicide

Maybe i could use a little cyanide

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

you’re the kind that nobody needs

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

you’re the kind that nobody needs

(V4) You think you’re a grownup, but you’re really a child

You’re some kind of Medusa, really drive men wild

You look like an angel, but you’re really a bitch

You discard the gentleman, and run to the rich

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

I’m a sucker………, indeed

But you’re the kind that nobody needs

you’re the kind that nobody needs

I LOVE my Father Mr. Avaton Winston Turnbow, who is the proud patriarch of the Turnbow brood. I admire, respect, and cherish Him. He is the most important Man in My life. He has taught me how to live, save money, invest, pursue happiness, and introduced Me to the best music of all time the world has to offer. He has the absolute best advice in all orders of the Universe. My Dad is My Hero!!!!!!! Period!

     (Computer Art of The great Avaton Winston Turnbow by Son Eric)

My Father has passed away this morning, Saturday, May 21, 2011. He was 83 and 11 months young! This is a sombre day indeed, but life goes, and the world will continue to turn! My Father would insist upon it. I love Him dearly, and I always will! He was the best Father I could have ever hoped for. The world has lost an amazing and original Man. PEACE!
Avaton Winston Turnbow (RIP)
Born: June 20, 1927
Passed: May 21, 2011 (Dad left Us for the after world at 6:29 a.m.)

(I proudly wear this blue shirt that Dad is wearing in this memorial shot. I also got a hold of His long black trench coat which I wear with gusto!)

It was a strange thing to, because about an earlier I was watching the tube and out of nowhere the power went out. There was no storm or inclement weather to cause this. It was a mystery. It was only out for a minute, and I got up to reset all the clocks and turn the computer back on. Looking back, I must assume that was the spirit of My father, the great Avaton Winston Turnbow calling out and saying goodbye to us all as he passes onto the next dimension, as only Dad could. It was no accident. He was breathing his last goodbye to Me.

At the time I happened to be watching an old episode of “The Waltons”. A show about a large family full of love. I have been preparing myself for this moment, but somehow You never are ready. My thoughts and prayers go out to His widow Vikki Turnbow, and the rest of this Family of 6 children, 8 Grandkids, His CAC church and the Matriarch of our family, Jean Turnbow. Long live the memory of our father, The great Avaton Winston Turnbow! RIP! Dad left Us for the after world at 6:29 a.m.

Here is the lyrics to that great song I wrote for my Father! ENJOY! It is a true story! (Used by permission).

“DAD”
Written By Eric Turnbow

Dad I need to tell you
That you’re the only Father
I can call my own
Dad listen to me
When I say that you’re the finest man
I have ever known

(chorus)
And a son needs to tell his Father
That he loves him every once in awhile
And so I’m telling you exactly that today
When I think of all the memories
I have inside of me
I simply have to smile
There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way
Dad Dad Dad Dad

Feeding bears in Yellowstone,
Rock hunting in old San Antone
Ferris wheels, and Disneyland,
and old Mt Rushmore oh so very grand
From the world’s fair called Expo,
to the redwoods way down south
I can sing about memories all day long,
the words keep flowing out of my mouth

(Repeat chorus)

There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way
There’s enough of them to cover the Milky Way

Many thanks for the thoughtful gifts, Eric. I really enjoy the Neil Young CD and hope the stations will give it plenty of air time.I also enjoyed your card and the artsy pic of me you did on the computer. But best of all, I really really enjoyed and appreciated you singing my favourite song, “Dad ” last night. (If I should ever pass over into spirit some day and the family holds some kind ceremony, my only request is that you sing that song for me one more time. No matter where I might be, I promise you that I will hear it and think of you. You are a great son and I love you very much and am extremely proud of how you are handling your life. Love, Dad.

Thanks I will take that!

This would be my response back to A.W. Turnbow:

I am proud to sing that song for you ANYTIME and especially on Fathers Day or more recently your birthday. That is a very special track that I wrote ,just for you a long time ago in 1983 and recorded for you in 1997 for inclusion on my all original cd “I’m Alive”. We loved having you at the club for the big birthday 79 party. By the way, it helped me sell another original cd to that “DJ Debby” lady and I got a $5 tip as well. That is an amazing number by the way.

And I am proud of you as well my friend! I promise I will perform your song “DAD” at your memorial, but if I have my wish that will not be for another millennium. You are way too healthy.

Love your son….

Message: I fondly remember the Turnbow family while growing up in Olympia. Amos always seemed a robust, larger than life cornerstone in the community. A cutting edge, avant-garde man who with grace and boldness made this world a better place. Happy trails, “Windy”

Message: Amos Winston Turnbow, “Avaton”, “Windy”, the “Turnbow Tornado” is known to me only through the writings of his appreciative family and friends. I especially enjoyed the eloquent writings of his daughter Katherine Turnbow Peil (seconded by her sister Marilyn, below). But it was the tribute of his devoted son, Eric “ET” Turnbow (known to me as a songwriter, musician, recording artist and karaoke host), that touched me and led me to this page to pay my respects, as requested. Eric’s song to his “Dad” – and especially his dad’s response to it – moved me to happy tears. How great to have their mutual love, respect and appreciation documented and acknowledged to each other in the living years! Believe me, this, above all else, helps make the transition easier. I was blessed to have my father, Ian Christopher, until just short of his 97th birthday, and my mother, Helen Christopher, to beyond her 99th (see www.TheFleetwoods.com/tributes#Helen_Gray_Christopher ), and I was able to let them go without regret, because I had consciously and constantly communicate my love for them – from the time I was a tiny toddler, throughout, and to the very ends their lives. I wonder if my parents and yours, Jean and Amos Winston Turnbow (four arguably brilliant and talented people, leaving important legacies) all knew each other (perhaps in the early years of the Olympia Unitarian Fellowship? You know the name Turnbow has always seemed familiar to me). Now, only Jean is left to tell us (I hope you will ask her, Eric, and let me know). In any case, seems you all have much to celebrate: A family well-raised, and a life well lived – by Amos Winston Turnbow, “Avaton”, “Windy”, “Turnbow Tornado” – the very first! Softly, with love of family and music to share, Eric and Mimi’s friend, Gretchen Christopher www.GretchenChristopher.com

Message: Amos Winston Turnbow was my father. When he and my mother, (Mary Jean Janzen) married in 1953, they had just been plopped from the academic conveyor belt, filled with intellectual passions, creative dreams, and wonderful wide-eyed Utopian ideologies – dreams that included a brood of perhaps one dozen children. (“Cheaper by the dozen”, he’d grin.) By the time I was born (child #3 marking the ¼ mark toward their goal) a mere four years later, Winston had also forged his entrepreneurial dreams into reality. Indeed, he had created the Sleep Learning & Research Association – driving me home from the Hospital in the Hot Steel Ranger – a brand spanking new DeSoto station wagon, highly symbolic of his success as an independent businessman. This was also the vehicle in which our budding family would journey cross country (with a comfy a little trailer in tow), to settle in the natural wonderland of the Puget Sound, an ideal setting for their Brave New Turnbow World. There, in the beauty and mystical majesty of the Fishtrap, with music ringing the rafters, Jean and Winston completed their family. Six of us in all, and nearly a 7th, before nature determined that “cheaper by the half dozen”, might be better still. And I must say, despite parting company when dreams ebbed into realities (as they often do), their powerful spiritual synergy inspired their progeny to continue breathing life into the original visions, each in our own uniquely creative way. So although he became Avaton, I also send out my final farewell to Winston, my father, my spiritual mentor, my blood, my heart, and my soul. May you now sing at every octave, and rest in the comfort that the Turnbow symphony plays on.

Message: The Lund family (Mady, Marc, Blake) are very grateful to Windy (Avaton) Turnbow for many year of great inter-family relations. My brothers and I often reminisce of early days our parents spent with Windy and Jean back in Omaha in the 50′s. My parents sent me out to spend the summer with the Turnbows in 1963 and I was later influenced to move to Washington from Nebraska because of that summer. That summer Windy drove his clan and me all over the Olympics and took us to the World’s Fair in Seattle (what was left of it by then). Windy was always very kind and affectionate to me and I felt a special feeling for him as my own dear father’s special friend. Windy (and Jean) served in loco parentis for me when I went off to my first year of college at the UW. I recall that my new roommates were awed at the spectacle of the long-haired Winston Turnbow who delivered me to the dorm. I was so pleased to have these temporary adoptive parents at such a critical time. I admire the life I have seen grow from Windy, who became Avaton. His family is amazing. As everyone says here, he raised one hell of a family with the help of Jean and Vicki. Avaton will be remembered as a loving kind man with a devilish sense of humor. God bless, and I will look forward to seeing him again some day on the other side. Love, Mady

Message: I think a good measure of a man, is to look at his children. In this case I think can all agree that Winston succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. All strong independent citizens with a zest for life and concern for their fellow citizens. I know he was a proud man and followed his dreams. His kids have and will provide future generations of Turnbows that will live their own adventures and keep his spirit alive and well. The memories of him will live on in the stories we share and in the characteristics from him that the family holds dear. He has been called a patriarch, he was. Let his dream of a better life for all be an inspiration for all of us and by sticking together as a family may the world be the better place that he dreamt of.

The thing I admired about AW was his gifts of encouragement and facilitation. I see how his encouraging spirit caused so much success and happiness in his children over the years. I think he was our band “London”‘s biggest fan and invested heavily in us in those early days. Peace to all of you who are imprinted with his legacy.

Message: It’s always sad to see someone you know and love go, but the thing to remember is that Avaton is at peace now. I never met the man, but I know his son Eric. I can only imagine that he is as good-hearted as his son. Someone once asked me when the pain of loosing someone goes away, and I had to tell him that it never really does go away, but time has a way of making things better. Another thing to remember is that he’s really not dead. If there are memories that lie within your heart of him, he’s always alive.

Thanks Eric! My request also included asking this question: Has anyone had any sort of post-mortum spiritual “encounter” with our father? If so, I’d love to hear the details.

· · · 5 hours ago

    • Katherine PeilAs for myself, I’ve had several that captured the beauty and depth of our spiritual relationship, well captured in the picture I posted below.

    • Eric TurnbowYes Katherine. On exactly 4 months to the day Our father entered My dream and spoke with Me. He said that was okay and exactly where he needs to be. To go on and enjoy my life and we will catch up later. Curiously He was seated on a bench, perhaps out @ Fishtrap even, sitting in-between Mom and Vikki both! I wok up with a smile on His face. he even smelled like dad, and He was the Older version. At least 50 or 60 with a beard. It was way cool.

    • Eric TurnbowI have had another 5 dreams with Dad in them since. I do remember driving in My car with Him somewhere along the Oregon Coast. We were not saying a lot that I can remember butt I do know that I reached out and put My hand on His knee and told Him that it was a real treat to spend time with Him! It was as real as it gets! Really! AAAHHHH….!

    • Eric Turnbow Of course on May 21, 2011 just after Dad passed He made contact. I was watching an episode of “The Waltons” on t.v. very early in the morning. This of course is a show about a large family in Virginia, with some Turnbow similarity! His spirit swooped on in and turned all the power off to My house.Off went the T.v. and I had to reset the clocks and cable box and was wondering why there was a power outage and there was no wind, rain or inclement weather. Well he was just saying “Goodbye” I learned later that morning. Very “Dad” I suppose!

Fletcher and I were going to the store. It was within days after Avaton had passed. I pulled into a spot, and was answering a text from Jesse when Fletch said, “Mommy.” Usually if I don’t get him out of his seat pretty quickly he will request it. So I turned, prepared to tell him that I would be right there. This is when he said, “Grampa Avaton is gone. He’s not here anymore.” And I told him that yes this was true. Then he went on to say, “He’s somewhere else and he’s happy! His head and his tummy don’t hurt anymore, and he’s like a little boy!” It gave me goose bumps. I asked him how he knew that, and he said that Grampa told him. ♥

Merle Haggard & Kris Kristofferson 09-24-2011 in Shelton WA.

Merle Haggard & Kris Kristofferson 09-24-2011 @ Little Creek Casino Shelton WA.

So, I have to say that Merle Haggard is My all time favourite Country legend! I have seen Him live 7 or 8 times. I will always go out of my way to see this Legend! On this particular September night, He was playing with another Country Legend, Kris Kristofferson, right down Highway 101 from me in Shelton! It was only $40, and I had no date, but I left on a whim and got my ticket at the door! I grabbed a couple of cocktails and headed for the stage! I landed front and center about 10 rows back from the stage! The sound was the best I have ever heard Him! I was able to shoot a pile of cool videos that night, and suck in this awesome music of a Generation! He did not disappoint! Go Merle! Here is set list that is close to matching what I saw that night. Give or take a couple of tracks becaise nobody is perfect!

I wish I was 30 Again (Merle) Very cute lyrics
Working in Tennessee (Merle) brilliant new fiddle song

The Fightin’ Side of Me (Merle)
From Here to Forever (Kris)

    February 10th, 2010 at 12:33 pm Thanks for posting this article. I’m definitely frustrated with struggling to search out relevant and brilliant commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, applicable insight.

    February 27th, 2010 at 10:09 am Люди, у меня вопрос немного не по теме, скорей даже совсем не по теме (если что перенесите плиз куда надо). В общем собираемся с друзьями в Египет. Я обратила внимание, что туры летом по цене гораздо дешевле, чем туры сейчас. Хотя и там и там “всё включено”, отель один и тот же.
    Поначалу думала, что из-за раннего бронирования такие скидки, ан нет, знакомые посоветовали летом не ездить из-за страшной жары. Вот и хочу поинтересоваться, настолько ли там невыносимо жарко, в июне, как говорят???

    March 12th, 2010 at 12:47 am Hi there! How are you today? It’s just that i like your site so much, and that i believe you could start earning a bunch of cash with it. I have a few winning blogs that i started pulling in some money from recently. They are using something called a content revealer widget, it makes visitors fill out a small survey to get access to highly valued content or to download files that they need. And every time they do a fast survey i make around two dollars. Pretty awsome eh? Been making lots more from this than adsense! Feel free to email me, or you can check it out through my refferal link. http://www.tinyurl.com/yevwfst, Kind Regards, Hennrik O. Hansen

    April 3rd, 2010 at 7:45 am I know your secret too! I look at commenting in this way – since I’m relatively new to blogging, I always thought from the beginning that it was a two-way medium, where someone is starting a conversation that invites interaction, so I picked up the habit right away. In contrast, I’d think if some folks never commented when they first ventured into the blogosphere, it would be more difficult to jump in down the road (i.e. not a habit). Nevertheless, I agree with you on your last statement

Eric Turnbow was featured in Michael Moore’s movie “SiCKO” June 28, 2007

 

Eric was featured in Michael Moore’s movie “SiCKO”. This is the article that The Daily Olympian, our local Newspaper published on the subject from June 28, 2007. Enjoy!
Moore’s movie ‘SiCKO’ spotlights Olympia man

Breanne Coats
The Olympian  June 28, 2007

OLYMPIA — When Eric “E.T.” Turnbow of Olympia videotaped himself doing a handstand on London’s Abbey Road in 1997, it had two unintended consequences: a fall that landed him in the hospital, and a role in director Michael Moore’s new movie, “Sicko.”

Turnbow, now 46, dislocated his shoulder and thought the resulting medical costs would ruin his vacation. He was surprised that during his hospital stay, which lasted several hours, he had to pay only for his medication. The cost was 5 pounds, the equivalent of less than $10 at the time.

“Sicko” will be in theaters Friday, including the Regal Martin Village 16 in Lacey. The film, Moore’s first since “Fahrenheit 9/11″ in 2004, is a documentary aimed at highlighting the faults of the U.S. health care system. Turnbow said his London experience is used as a bridge for Moore to go from North America to Europe in the film. He said Moore goes to England to see if health care there is really that inexpensive.

Turnbow never talked directly to Moore during filming but said that at a premiere of “Sicko” June 14 in Seattle, Moore recognized him immediately and mouthed “thank you.” “(Moore’s) sister (Anne Moore) made the comment, ‘You are the one that provided some comic relief in the middle of our little picture,’ ” Turnbow said about the premier.

Turnbow, a guitarist, singer and karaoke disc jockey, said he has been entertaining people since grade school. The passionate Beatles fan — his house is adorned with artefacts featuring the band — was in London to visit the place where The Beatles recorded. He was filming himself on the stretch of road immortalized on the cover of the Beatles album “Abbey Road” when he fell. He said about Moore, “I believe what he stands for. He’s kind of a rebel, and I’m kind of a rebel as well.”He agrees with Moore’s stance about socialized medicine.”What they need to do is take the profit factor out of medicine,” Turnbow said.
Turnbow works nights as a DJ at the Viking Lounge in Lacey and owns E.T.’s Cosmic Karaoke. He said he surfs the Web as a hobby and subscribes to Moore’s e-mail list.

Picked from 25,000

Moore had sent a message to his e-mail group asking for medical-treatment stories. Turnbow said Moore picked his response from about 25,000. In his message to Moore, Turnbow mentioned his short experience with England’s socialized health care. “(Moore) just thought the thing on Abbey Road was funny,” Turnbow said. “I don’t mind a good laugh at my expense. I was honored to be a part of it.”

After dozens of phone calls with Moore’s assistants and turning over evidence to show his story was true, Turnbow received notification about a month ago that his story made it into the movie. Moore’s assistants sifted through four hours of Turnbow’s vacation footage and compiled a piece about two minutes long. Turnbow said it includes his arrival in London, singing an original song with a friend, the soon-to-be-famous fall and him on medication.

Turnbow took his sister, Katherine Peil, to the premiere. Other family members plan to see his big-screen debut Friday. “It’s fun,” said his mother, Jean. “Not everyone walks on their hands on Abbey Road.”  Besides VIP passes to the Seattle premiere, Turnbow did not receive compensation. “I didn’t ask for any money because I’m in it for the cause and to be immortalized,” he said.

Sicko | 2007  Michaels commentary about Eric’s visit to England, and how it appears in the film! ENJOY!

  • That’s not hard to believe when you meet fellow Americans like Eric.

    # Oh, England, here we go

    Eric Turnbow of Olympia. Washington. Saved up his whole life

    so that he could visit the famed Abbey Road cross walk in London.

    But it wasn’t enough for Erik to just walk across the road like The Beatles did.

    He had to do it his own special way.

    Here’s Erik, about to walk on his hands across Abbey Road.

    Ready?

    Ugh!

    Try it again.

    Are you in pain?

    Yeah.

    The British hospital didn’t charge Erik anything for his stay.

    And only about ten bucks for all the way-cool drugs they gave him.

    You’re all slung up.

    I’m gonna be OK.

    I decided to go to Great Britain to find out how a hospital stay could be free.

    And drugs could cost only ten dollars.

“Sicko” is a Top Movie Documentary Money Maker!

“Sicko” in Top 5 Grossing Docs of All Time — This Weekend it’s “‘Sicko’ Night in America!”… from Michael Moore

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Friends,

Good news! “Sicko,” after less than three weeks in national release, has become one of the top five grossing documentaries of all time! So, this coming weekend, the distributor is expanding the movie by opening it in nearly 500 new theaters in small cities all over the country (for a total of nearly 1,200 screens nationwide)! From Rapid City to Carson City, from Gettysburg to Pearl Harbor, from Juneau to Battle Creek — they’re all getting “Sicko” tomorrow (Friday). Scores of cities that never have a documentary come to their local theater will now be able to see this one. It’s happening all thanks to you who live in the larger cities and have supported “Sicko” so strongly. It’s led the studio to say, “Let’s make more prints and ship them to Oshkosh (and Beaverton and Brattleboro and Sault Ste. Marie and…).” The entire country goes “Sicko” in less than 48 hours! (Check here for the complete list of theaters showing “Sicko” in North America.)

So, friends, this is it. This is the weekend to go see “Sicko” if you haven’t seen it. I get a lot of letters from people saying they plan to “get around” to seeing it “soon.” Well, soon is here! Trying to get theaters to give us screens when we are up against huge summer blockbusters is an almost impossible task. “Sicko” won’t be around forever. And if you’re waiting for the DVD, ask anyone who’s seen “Sicko” — this is a movie you want to see with a crowd of people in a theater.

So let’s pack the movie houses this weekend! Send an email to everyone you know, call your friends and tell them, “It’s ‘Sicko’ Night in America!”

And, to show my thanks to all of you who’ll go see “Sicko” this weekend, I’m going to send one of you and a guest on a free weekend to the universal health care country of your choice! That’s right. You’ll get to pick one of the three industrialized countries featured in the movie where, if you get sick, you get help for free, no matter who you are. All you have to do is send us your ticket stub (make sure it says “Sicko” on it and has the name of the theater and this weekend’s date on it — Friday, Saturday or Sunday – July 20th, 21st, 22nd). Attach the stub to a piece of paper with your name, address, phone number and email and send it to: ‘Sicko’ Night in America, 888c 8th Avenue, Suite 443, New York, NY 10019. (Yes, you have to use that old 18th century device called the U.S. Postal Service, and it has to be postmarked on or by Tuesday, July 24th). First prize is a weekend in the city of your choice: Paris, London or Toronto. This includes airfare, hotel, meals and, most exciting, a representative from their fine universal health care system who will give you a personal tour so you can see how they treat their fellow citizens. You’ll meet people who pay nothing for college and citizens who are in the fourth week of their six-week paid vacation. Oh, and you’ll have time to see the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or whatever they have in Toronto that is old and tall. (If you don’t have a passport, we’ll pay for that, too!)

Canadians who are reading this — you’re probably thinking, “Hey, what about us? Where do we get to go?” Quit complaining! You’re already there! But just to make it up to you — and to prove we don’t hold it against you for smugly walking out of a hospital with the same amount of money in your wallet that you went in with — we’ll let you participate in the drawing, too.

Thanks again to everyone who has gone to see “Sicko.” Take a friend or two this weekend and celebrate “‘Sicko’ Night in America.”

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. I’ll be on “The Colbert Report” tonight (Thursday) on Comedy Central. On a sadder note, my appearance on CNN with Wolf Blitzer has been moved to a later date. Wolf just called to say he had a death in his family and that we would have to re-schedule. Our condolences to him and his family.

It was a powerful movie.  I, for one, am scared to death.

I have a friend that has her own story to tell -

and won and has been helping people win their
appeals to insurance companies
ever since.
She has written a how-to book on getting your insurance co to pay

lectures, interviews, etc. Can you suggest a way of getting this information to Michael Moore’s webmaster so she might be listed as a resource?
Thanks.

Eric has responded to Susan:

Thank You Susan….

I am sure your story would be of interest to Micheal
Moore. He is compassionate man who takes his causes
seriously. I am so glad you saw the film! I really
think is powerful as well. Such a good cause that
would benefit all Americans. I have forwarded this
letter to my contacts for Micheal Moore. There is no
guarantee he will be able to help, but I have sent
your request to him all the same. Good luck. I am sure
he would love to hear your feedback. Just remember
that he is a busy man! be patient.

This is Guy named Justin that was there in London when the  original home made video was shot in 1997. We met through the internet some 10 years later and this is our dialogue!

Wow.  I just saw “Sicko,” and to my surprise I sawon the big screen my
encounter with you at Abbey Road from ten years ago. That was great!
Congratulations on making the film!!

I am the one-handed, fellow American there that day who was taking your picture.  Your hand-walking experience, while quite  painful to watch, definitely gave me a vivid lasting memory and story from my visit to Abbey Road, and I’ve told the story many times to my friends.  I always wondered how your shoulder turned out, and I’m glad everything was taken care of by the English medical system and that you are ok. Is there any way you make me a copy of the original footage from your trip…at least of that day at Abbey Road?  Or is there somewhere I could find it online?  I would really appreciate it.  Just let me know if you need me to somehow verify that it’s me.  I now live in San Francisco.  Hope all’s well,

Thanks!
Justin Wiener
PS: I don’t know if you remember or have it on  video, but that day I was
there with a girl.  I happened to see “Sicko”  tonight with her!

(And Here is My Response to Justin)

Justin!!!!!

Wow what a small world we live in! We met in London, and because of “Sicko” we connect via San Francisco.Olympia and the internet! That is way cool! You must have been in the picture to! I will let Micheal Moore’s office know that we connected like this. Itmakes a great footnote.

As for your request, there is a video posting of the event online. Here is the link. Just click the little movie icon below my picture. Let me know if that is good enough. I could possibly send you a vhs copy of the original shot. The paper copied it from my dvd and made a collage with an interview. Lot’s of people have seen it. I am getting a ton of feedback.

I have it on dvd and vhs. The vhs will be a little watered down since I sent Michael Moore the originals. and he sent me back the dvd and kept the originals. I am not burning dvd’s yes, but could probably make you a watered down copy of all the Abbey Road stuff. I am glad you enjoyed the links. A lot of people have seen me in this flick! Incredible.

WOW!  I just watched the movie you attached to this email.  Are you interviewed in all the papers or just the Olympia one?  What were you doing on Abbey road that led to the hospital?? Michael Moore! Wow. Is he a cool person?  There’s quite a bit of controversy about him. He has some pretty good  thoughts about a lot of things.   I bet it was pretty awesome to actually be where the Beatles were.  Is there a lot of memorabilia of them?  So did you take your family over there on vacation, or did you go by yourself?  You are on home movies, so I was wondering.   So you do a show every night at the Viking??  Not real familiar with that area.  Is is a good place to go?    Let me know ok?
(And I Responded Here:)

Yes…. HUGE Beatles fan. That is what led to my part in “Sicko” in fact. Takes     place in London at Abbey Road!

Yeah
We work at The Viking every night singing Karaoke and dancing and having a great time. You should drop in sometime.

I went to England twice. Once in 1992 for 21 days,which also included a 3 day stint in Paris France. Itravelled alone on that one. The second trip in 1997 I travelled with a friend of mine. I liked this waybetter so you can share the experience. We were in London for about 9 days and took a few days off tgo to Amsterdam! The music history in London is cool.There is plenty of memorabilia to buy there trust me! Yes, Michael Moor is a great man. I admire his work. It was thrill to meet him and be in his movie! Any more questions?

Hey Eric,
Billy Brewster here. Heard the news on NPR the other day, Google news…
you, and there you were!Standing on your hands again.  You’re not as
young as you used to be young man.  I tore my rotator cuff body surfing in Mexico but the pain wasn’t bad enough to go to the hospital.  I don’t think I would want to land in a hospital in another country than my own, but I
have heard a few success stories.  I still have clear memories of you walking up and down those stairs in your home as a kid.  Did you ever get an entry in the Guinness  World Book of Records for most consecutive days living life completely from hand stands? Well, I guess I have a reason to see “Sicko” now. It would be good to see it so I can have an intelligent conversation with my brother.  We failed miserably after F-9-11 came out.  I didn’t have a clue and he was all over it.

see you, Billy Brewster
currently residing in Gig Harbor,

(And My Response)On 7/4/07, Eric Turnbow (E.T.)

Thanks Bill! Great to hear from you my friend! And give me a ring when you are down this way. I will have you over. My house rocks! I also work in a club on Martin way almost every night, It is called The Viking. Come check it out sometime.Your Mom, Mary used to babysit me all the time when I was a little squirt. I would love to see her as well sometime.  Happy 4th!

My appearance in the major motion picture “Sicko” has brought me a lot of notoriety and fame. I have been in the paper (front page), online, video interviewed by the Olympian, on am radio komo 1000, and even linked to Micheal Moore’s site in new York. It has been great for business too, I am swamped,and loving it, Lots of $400 and upwards weddings right now. Viking is rocking better than ever, Over 85,000 songs. My cd has seen a new resurgence as well, Lots of interest since I sing a bit in the movie. It is crazy. It has been a lot more than just 15 minutes of fame…… Still counting.

My sister said she has communicated with you by email. She is one hot smart cookie. Allays gives grea tadvice and is educated to the hilt. I am glad you connected in what little way possible. I admire her a lot, and am one damn proud brother, that is for sure!She has always supported me in whatever I try to do in life. That is a cool thing about her.

I also appreciate your support and assume that you are not the biggest Michael Moore fan out there, just like I am not a big George Bush fan. You know what I mean. I can agree to disagree. I have decided not to voice my politics at work in the future. It seems to have a conflicting effect! I will sort of just be “Politically correct” and conduct my duties as an all pro DJ! Sound good?

Good luck with your music. I have always admired your booming full voice. You have unmistakable raw talent. I can really see it in your performances! Stop by some night and sing one with me at The Viking, We will welcome you with open arms.

And remember, we all should walk down Abbey Road on ourhands, Hell, why not? They have free health care and cheap meds in Briton!

Subject: Re: [capitalhs79] Saw Eric’s & Michael’s Movie!
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:27:19 -0700 (PDT)

Here is my review:   So, I rarely see movies any more before they come out on video – especially documentaries – but I had to make an exception to see our infamous classmate.  I saw “Sicko” Friday night, and in Canada, no less, while at a conference in Vancouver, so the crowd reactions were also quite interesting (puzzlement at the descriptions of US plans, deductibles, excluded pre-existing conditions, gasps for the poor cancer survivor who had to move in with her daughter, etc.).  Eric, your part was great
but painful to watch you fall.  Ouch, and your cameraman wanted you to do it again.  . . .    Do you have any plans to go back there now?   . . .   Your scenes drew many laughs, mine included.  Afterwards, I stayed and watched all the credits – I saw your name (right above Eddie Vedder’s actually).  I bragged to several strangers that I knew you.  Separate from the politics of it all, it was a very funny movie to see. I recommend it.
Hi to everyone.  Two more years until the 30th. Yikes.
Take care, Linda

(Eric Turnbow (E.T.) Responds)

A lot of people have heard me on komo radio. I found it ion the web. I had not heard it myself since it was originally broadcasted  in the wee hours when shut eye was still in effect. I got a kick out of finally hearing it online. I hope you will as well. And go see the flick if you have not yet! I saw it twice. Once in Seattle, and once in Lacey. During my part the audience shouted in recognition of an Olympia man being showcased. the girl that sold me my ticket did not believe me when I mentioned I was in the film.Fine with me. You cannot change the reality of it all! A very specific, and moving for for sure. Enjoy. And never take yourself all that seriously. It’s all good though.

Got back from AK and saw this little tempest.  I know I’m late with my comment here, but I got to say it. Eric, you’re just great! Gonna’ go see the movie now. Checked out the Olympian link, and love the footage. Hope we can meet up, maybe at one of Greg’s shows.

(And My Response to class mate Joe)

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate it. There has been a lot of feed back and I love every bit of it. I am glad a lot of people have seen the film. It is a great piece if work. I predict it will win the Oscar for best documentary. I look forward to seeing every one soon. I have had a busy summer to say the least. My involvement in the movie has been fabulous and led to
more work and exciting stuff. I think it may just follow me around for the rest of my life. Permanent, on the resume and all. I am very proud of it. Sort of kicks my career to a whole new level! Stay cool everyone, because life is good. You do not HAVE to CONFORM! Just be yourself.

(This letter came from a Facebook Fan, and Family Friend, Valerie….)

Congratulations Eric!
That is so cool.  Remind me to tell you about our experience in England with taking Paige to the doctor there.
Long story short:  Paige was 2, before our trip I had been trying to get her treated through Group Health and they kept putting us off.   She was feeling a little better so we left for our planned trip to England.  After 2 days Paige fell ill again.  Instead of goofing around getting put off with an HMO — the English doctor admitted her to the hospital, actually gave her care, kept her in there for 3 days — and it didn’t cost anything.  They couldn’t understand why I was so worried about cost, they were focused on Paige not money.  They couldn’t understand why I kept trying to give them our insurance cards.  Then it dawned on me — they were concerned about my child’s health and not the MONEY.  We ended up making a donation to the hospital.
Paige had the best medical care in England — better than anything here.  So what we hear about their system being no good is just a bunch of crap.
Thanks Eric for sharing your story.
Valerie

This is very cool! This is one movie I am not going to miss. I can’t  think of much more important subject then this. The Medical industrial complex and insurance companies are out of control. This  is the most prosperous nation in the world and yet we rank in the  high 30′s in medical coverage for our citizens. I feel fortunate to be covered but it is scary to know that certain treatment decisions are made as business decisions instead of medical ones.

Thanks Greg…

It has been a whirlwind of press and feedback for me.The Olympian interviewed me 3 times and posted the article and video online. Then I went on the radio and KIRO am1000 last Friday. My boss at The Viking is
digging the exposure. He put a congratulation’s to “Sicko Star” E.T. on the board outside, and encouraged people to stop in and meet me. They sure have!

I am glad you liked it! Amazing to have my story chosen from 25,000 potential subjects! He had 500 hours of film to cut to 2 hours and he kept in my part! AMAZING! I am proud to make that cut for sure!
Yes, it has been great for business as well.

And I enjoyed seeing your Band spread of pics back at the mother yahoo site. Way to go. Rock and Roll with tons of personality. When I saw you in High school starring in “God-spell” I knew you would get into the live performing arts! I ended up doing the same. but along the way ended up as more of a DJ Personality, and playing my guitar and writing songs more for the passion of it all. I guess I can make a better living as a D.J. and that is why I decided to go that route.I am a live musician at heart for sure. A bad-ass singer/songwriter inspired by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, and Neil Young among others.

Maybe I will see you again at Lakefair? It is just around the bend. I will keep an eye out for ALL fellow Class of “79graduates. They all seem to rock!

This next piece was Published in a local Aberdeen Newspaper

Harbor man appears in Michael Moore’s ‘SiCKO’
By Callie White – Daily World Writer Thursday, July 12, 2007 10:54 AM

Aberdeen native Ken Aronson has a passion for music and entertainment. So it should be a dream come true to him that he and a song he wrote are very briefly featured in Michael Moore’s new movie “SiCKO,” a documentary about the American healthcare system. But the part-time karaoke jockey said he doesn’t feel he has received his due for the part he played in the movie.

Aronson’s story, the one told in “SiCKO,” starts with his love of the Beatles. He and his fellow Beatle-loving friend Eric Turnbow went together to England in April of 1997, they did the obligatory pilgrimage to Abbey Road, home to the studio that recorded the seminal “Abbey Road” album. Aronson videotaped the entire trip, starting with boarding the plane to get there.

So, of course, Aronson caught Turnbow doing the kind of stunt that tourists, intoxicated by being in an unfamiliar place, sometimes attempt. He started
walking across Abbey Road on his hands.

Paul McCartney’s bare feet may have been a “clue” to teenage conspiracy theorists back in the day that he was dead; Turnbow, crossing the street on
his bare hands, may have thought he was about to die when he came down, hard, putting his shoulder out of joint.

“We knew we had to take him to a hospital,”Aronson said. When they got there, Turnbow handed a credit card to the staff on duty, telling them they
could charge him for healthcare.

Socialized medicine:

But, Aronson said, that didn’t happen. Instead, Turnbow got some odd looks. Because of England’s socialized medical system, it cost Turnbow almost nothing. In the movie, Moore contrasts that with the American medical system.

“In the U.S., he’d have been out $2,000 at least,” Aronson said. In Britain, Turnbow had his arm reset for free; he was charged “three or four
pounds” for painkillers, about $6 at the time.

Aronson said the two were concerned they’d miss a tribute concert to Buddy Holly that was only a few hours from the time they got to the hospital. “We were out of there fast,” Aronson said. They didn’t miss a moment of the show, which Aronson said was “great.”

Aronson contrasted his friend’s experience inBritain with his here; not only has Aronson spent timein hospital waiting rooms, he is only now going in for surgery on his jaw and teeth, which were badly damaged when he was hit by a vehicle while working on the side
of his house.

Song in the movie:

“Before we left (for England), I came up with a song, ‘Oh England,’ ” Aronson said. He taped the two of them doing an acapella version, which was used in the movie. (About 3 seconds).

Aronson is miffed that he did not control Moore’s access to the video and song he claims are his work. Would he feel better if his name was in the credits? “I think so,” Aronson said. He added that he would
not mind a share of the royalties for the use of his song.

Letters to the editor:

RE: Harbor man appears in Sicko…..

My name is Eric Turnbow, and I am responding to the article you published about my involvement in the Micheal Moore feature “Sicko”. Feel free to print any of this in your paper as a letter to the editor!

First of all, I would like to be known straight up that there was no royalty or money payed out to me for the use of any info that was included in the film
“Sicko”. I signed a waiver allowing the film makers to use any material they needed for the movie.

I am miffed by the fact that Ken said he wanted “Control” over the use of the song “Oh England”, that we co-wrote together in the spirit of a Lennon/McCartney collaboration. In fact, I came up more than half the lyrics, and ALL the music to the song. Therefore it is “OUR” song. A joint venture. Let me point out that they never really used the song in the film. There is only a 4 second clip of both of ussinging a couple bars of it “Oh England Oh, oh, Oh England Here we go” while we were at the hotel room in London. That is it. The actual track is about 3 minutes and 54 seconds in length! I had given Micheal Moore a copy of my original cd “I’m Alive” and
released all rights to him should he be able to useany of it in the film, and he chose not top use the tracks.

I would also point out that I, Eric Turnbow own 100% of the copy write to this album. I wrote 14 and a halfof the tracks and sing all of them. I have registered all the songs with the U.S. Copy write Office. Ken chose not to pay for his half of the one song hecontributed to, and thus waived any rights he ever may have had for the use of this song! Instead we made a deal to cover his trouble where I sold him up to 100 copies of the cd at about HALF of my cost. He then re-sold them at a  profit. I financed 100 percent of
all studio time on this project and did not receive one single penny from Mr. Aronson. I also bought the rights from him to all the movie footage we shot of our London and Amsterdam vacation for $40 so I own the
rights to those as well. Here is the lyrics, and the proof that I own the copyrite in full!

OH ENGLAND

OH ENGLAND

Spoken ) England’s a barrel of fun,
straight up, I wouldn’t tell you no lie…..

(Chorus)
Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, here we go
Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, here we go

Take a trip to England,
fly across the sea
Take a trip to London,
just you and me
Hang out with the Beatles,
and sing at the BBC
Piccadilly Circus is the place to be

(Repeat chorus)

Dark fog is liftin’,
as we hit Trafalgar Square
Red buses stacked up,
and tourists everywhere
Pigeons lit softly,
on the lion statue’s hair
And the sound of music,
you could hear it in the air

(Repeat chorus)

Bed and breakfast,
with your best friend
Buckingham in the morning,
and it’s off to see Big Ben
Black taxi’s on narrow streets,
take us to Abbey Road
London’s overwhelming,
makes us overload

(Repeat chorus)

Oh England, whoa Oh
Oh England, it’s time to go

(Spoken) What-cha Mate!
Bloody come over on holiday to merry England
Do the pubs and clubs with a bird on each arm.
Tour by coach and drink a bevy on me gov’

Mr. Aronson does not even know who Micheal Moore is! He knew ahead of time about this project and had absolutely ZERO interest in it. He does not even know how to turn on a computer, let alone surf the net, so therefore he never could have contacted the film maker if he even wanted to. My email was chosen from 25,000 stories, and it is a miracle it made it into the film.
Mr. Moore had a 500 hour film that he had to trim to a mere 2 hours, yet my Abbey Road incident made the cut! Now that is some odds. Fantastic!

I think that Mr. Aronson is being an opportunistic imdividule in regards to  this whole incident. My screen time is 90 seconds, and his is, well about 4 seconds! Rather than complain about not being recognized, he should be thanking Micheal Moore, as well as Me, for including him in this project at all. Let’s not lose sight of the real issue here! Let’s take the focus off of any
“Credit due” and think about getting National Health care for every American! That is what this is all about! That is what is important. Our system sucks, and needs an overhaul. Let’s not drop the ball and make a big deal out of nothing at all. Ken waived his rights to any compensation and credit. Now He may regret the fact that he sold off any rights he never had in the first place, So give me a break! This is just silly!

While you are at it go and see “Sicko”. The movie rocks and I am very proud to be a part of it! My blogs and web pages, newspaper interviews, and komo radio appearances are all over the internet and translated
into different languages and everything. It has been awesome to be a small part of such a noble cause. It has been great reccognition for my business as well,and you can catch my Karaoke and DJ show 7 days a week
at the Viking Lounge (6318 Martin Way…. in Lacey
Washington).

As for Ken….. well, good luck to him. He likes to make mountains out of mole hills. His info is incorrect and certainly inaccurate. He needs to move on and get a life I suppose. this disgruntled attitude will not get him very far. In the meantime, I will see you in the movie aisles!I would be happy to discuss with you further. I am
passionate about this subject.

Thank You!

So…. Many moons later, the next Chapter arrives:

Hoquiam man to Michael Moore: You stole my song

Washingtonian sues liberal filmmaker over use of song, video in ‘Sicko’
By LEVI PULKKINEN, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF Wednesday, April 28, 2010

A Western Washington man has filed a copyright lawsuit against Michael Moore‘s production company, claiming the film maker and political commentator unlawfully used his song in the 2007 film “Sicko.”

Beginning the lawsuit with a quote from an interview Moore gave to MTV — “I’m not a big supporter of copyright laws in this country” — attorneys for Hoquiam resident Ken Aronson claim Moore’s company stole a song and video he recorded while visiting London with a friend a decade ago.

Recounting the scene in a civil complaint filed with the U.S. District Court at Tacoma, attorneys for Aronson claim the video showed Aronson’s friend attempting to cross Abbey Road, of Beatles fame, while walking on his hands. The man took a fall, injured his shoulder and was treated at an English hospital.

According to the complaint, Aronson’s friend responded to a mass request for health care stories Moore sent to his fans in February 2006. The other man reported having difficulty getting medical care in the United States in the years before his English tumble, and remarked that the British system treated him better.

The man’s submission, one of 25,000 submissions received by Moore’s Dog Eat Dog Films Inc., was selected for inclusion in “Sicko,” which offered Moore’s take on the health care situation in the United States.

Allegedly unknown to Aronson, the man had kept a copy of the video. He provided it to Moore’s production company along with a copy of the song “Oh England,” both of which were included in the film.

Claiming Moore’s company should have known Aronson was the videographer and copyright holder, his attorneys contend Dog Eat Dog Films failed to seek his permission to use either the video or song. Writing the court, attorney Thomas B. Vertetisclaimed Aronson’s privacy was invaded by the video’s inclusion in “Sicko.”

“(Dog Eat Dog Films’) unauthorized distribution of (Aronson’s) home video gave publicity to a matter concerning (his) private life,” Vertetis said in court documents. “As a result of the publication, Mr. Aronson suffered negative comment from community members and suffered negative impact to his business expectancy.”

Since its release, the film has grossed more than $50 million. Aronson has asked the court to award him a portion of that, though no specific amount is stated in the complaint. Dog Eat Dog Films has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit.

****************************************************

So here is the Big Update! There was a Key Karma Ruling on all this greedy nonsense.  Judge Strombom’s ruling,  included a mandated $10,000 fine against Aronson and ordered him to pay Moore’s attorney fees. And they do not come cheap. This was a very expensive Ambulance chase! Well over 10 Grand if you count the Lawyer fees! (KARMA)!

Judge tosses out privacy claim against Michael Moore over ‘Sicko’ segment

A federal magistrate judge in Tacoma has thrown out key claims in a lawsuit filed against controversial filmmaker Michael Moore and his Academy Award-nominated documentary “Sicko,” the first use of a state law that bars lawsuits targeting conduct associated with free speech and the First Amendment.

A federal magistrate judge in Tacoma has thrown out key claims in a lawsuit filed against controversial filmmaker Michael Moore and his Academy Award-nominated documentary “Sicko,” the first use of a state law that bars lawsuits targeting conduct associated with free speech and the First Amendment.

Judge Karen Strombom last week granted Moore’s motion to dismiss claims of invasion of privacy and “misappropriation of likeness” filed by Hoquiam resident Ken Aronson, ruling that Moore’s use of 71 seconds of video belonging to Aronson was based on Moore’s exploration of an issue of significant public concern — health care — and that its use was protected by the First Amendment.

A federal copyright-infringement claim survived, said Aronson’s Tacoma lawyer, Thomas Vertetis. He said Aronson is considering appealing Strombom’s ruling, which included a mandated $10,000 fine against Aronson and ordered him to pay Moore’s attorney fees.

“This is a nasty law,” he said. “It has a chilling effect on property rights.”At issue was a snippet of video taken from several hours of tape Aronson shot while touring England with a friend, Eric Turnbow, in 1997.

It showed Turnbow attempting to walk on his hands across Abbey Road and falling, injuring himself. It also contained a brief snatch of a song Aronson composed and sang. According to court filings, Aronson’s voice and photograph appear in 16 seconds of the tape.

Turnbow, a fan of Michael Moore’s, sent tape to the filmmaker in 2006. Moore was soliciting stories about health care outside the U.S. Turnbow’s shoulder injury was treated in a British hospital, and Moore used it to compare the health-care systems in the two countries.

However, Turnbow did not have Aronson’s permission to send the tape, and Aronson never signed a waiver, although Turnbow did, according to the pleadings. Aronson sued, claiming Moore invaded his privacy and used his image and voice without compensation or permission.

Moore, whose film “Sicko” garnered a nomination for best documentary at the 2007 Academy Awards and grossed nearly $35 million worldwide, argued the video was used “in furtherance” of Moore’s constitutional right of free speech in connection with an issue of public concern — health care — and was protected.

He relied on revisions to a 2002 law that have been on the books only since June sharply limiting what is known among First Amendment lawyers as “strategic lawsuits against public participation,” or the Washington anti-SLAPP law.

****************************************************

Strombom noted that the Legislature found in 2002 such strategic lawsuits are often “designed to intimidate the exercise of First Amendment rights” and lawmakers saw fit to enact anti-SLAPP legislation to “encourage the reporting of potential wrongdoing to government entities by protecting reporting parties from the threat of retaliatory lawsuits.”

Amendments to the law this past session “vastly expanded the type of conduct protected by the act,” and allowed targets of SLAPP lawsuits to seek a special motion to dismiss claims early in the process. That’s the provision under which Moore sought to dismiss Aronson’s claim.

Moore’s attorney in Seattle, Bruce Johnson, was the author of that legislation and said the idea was to give plaintiffs exercising their First Amendment rights and targeted by strategic lawsuits “an early resolution and dismissal of a claim” so they don’t have to waste time and resources in court.Johnson, with the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, also represents The Seattle Times. Vertetis, Aronson’s attorney, said his client wasn’t trying to do anything but protect what was his.”This wasn’t a strategic lawsuit,” he said. “This is a good man who had his videotape used without his permission.”

Michael Moore Sees Charges Against Him & “Sicko” Film Thrown Out of Court

 September 16, 2010 1:04 PM

Michael Moore’s film “Sicko” continues to deliver attention to the director. A federal magistrate in Washington state threw out major portions of a lawsuit filed against filmmaker Michael Moore and his documentary “Sicko.” The Academy Award-nominated director’s film deals with healthcare. A new state law prohibits lawsuits targeting conduct associated with free speech and the First Amendment. The Moore case was the first application of the law.The Seattle Times said U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Strombom in Tacoma granted Moore’s request to dismiss invasion of privacy and “misappropriation of likeness” claims. The claims were in the suit filed by Hoquiam, Wash., resident Ken Aronson.The magistrate judge said Moore’s use of 71 seconds of video owned by Aronson was part of the debate on an issue of significant public concern, healthcare, and its use was protected by the free speech guarantees of the First Amendment, the Times said.The video was sent by Aronson’s friend Eric Turnbow — Moore was asking for healthcare depictions from overseas — and showed Turnbow being injured and treated in England after trying to walk on his hands across Abbey Road in London.Turnbow signed a waiver but Aronson did not, the newspaper said.Though a claim of copyright infringement survives, Aronson was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and Moore’s legal expenses.Aronson’s lawyer said he is considering an appeal.

Anti-SLAPP Law Used To Protect Michael Moore’s Use Of Video Clip

from the slapp-back dept

We’ve been covering various stories about anti-SLAPP laws — the important set of (state) laws that protect people who are sued not for any significant legal reasons, but in order to silence them — and there’s been a first ruling on Washington State’s anti-SLAPP law, which is a bit different than the typical anti-SLAPP ruling. Thomas O’Toole points us to the news that filmmaker Michael Moore has prevailed over a privacy rights claim that was brought against him. Whatever you think of Moore as a fillmmaker (and, seriously, please don’t turn the comments into a pro/con fight over Moore), this case is pretty interesting.

It involved a clip that Moore used in his film Sicko, that was sent to him by the subject of the video, but not by the guy who filmed it:

At issue was a snippet of video taken from several hours of tape Aronson shot while touring England with a friend, Eric Turnbow, in 1997. It showed Turnbow attempting to walk on his hands across Abbey Road and falling, injuring himself. It also contained a brief snatch of a song Aronson composed and sang. According to court filings, Aronson’s voice and photograph appear in 16 seconds of the tape.

Turnbow, a fan of Michael Moore’s, sent tape to the filmmaker in 2006. Moore was soliciting stories about health care outside the U.S. Turnbow’s shoulder injury was treated in a British hospital, and Moore used it to compare the health-care systems in the two countries. However, Turnbow did not have Aronson’s permission to send the tape, and Aronson never signed a waiver, although Turnbow did, according to the pleadings.

Aronson then sued, saying it was a violation of his rights, but the court tossed it out and ordered that Aronson pay Moore for filing a SLAPP lawsuit. Aronson’s lawyer, not surprisingly, was not at all happy with the ruling:

“This wasn’t a strategic lawsuit,” he said. “This is a good man who had his videotape used without his permission.”

It’s definitely true that this does seem to be a rather broad interpretation of a SLAPP, but on the whole, such anti-SLAPP results are a good thing for free speech. Threatening or suing people for making a statement of any kind is problematic if you believe in free speech rights. It will be worth watching to see if there’s an appeal in this case, as it could really bring out some questions about the limits on anti-SLAPP rulings (at least in Washington… but it could impact laws elsewhere).

Sep 9th, 2010 @ 9:40am

http://ericturnbow.com/Reading through the site’s main page (I’d link to a specific section, but can’t – poor site coding) it appears that Turnbow owns the copyright to the song – purely. Aronson gave up his rights to that for 100 CDs of the album that he only helped in writing a part of the lyrics for one song.The video though, that’s another story… Here’s my question – if Aronson had wanted to send it in, he would have absolutely had to get a waiver from Turnbow, as he was the “subject” of the clip. I mean, that’s why they fuzz out faces on Cops, right? But what about Turnbow? It looks to me like this may be one of those shitty Joint Ownership things, where the “Author” (in this case, Aronson) would own the rights, but couldn’t do squat without permission from the subject, Turnbow. I dunno. It’s all just silly really.Last point though, couldn’t this all be done under Fair Use? I mean, it was for “educational” purposes (though Moore made dough, obviously).
In an atypical use of an anti-SLAPPS law, in 2010 a federal magistrate dismissed a copyright infringement suit against Michael Moore’s production company stemming from his having used a clip from Ken Aronson’s own film documenting his friend Eric Turnbow’s mishap in England. See Aronson v. Dog Eat Dog Films, INc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91417 (W.D. Wash. 2010).
Ken Aronson, the man who sued Michael Moore’s film company for using 71 seconds of his film footage for the documentary “Sicko,” is appealing a federal judge’s order last week to dismiss his invasion of privacy and misappropriation of likeness claims on free speech grounds. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will be asked to review whether Moore’s use of the video is allowed under the First Amendment and whether the judge should have applied Washington state’s new anti-SLAPP law in throwing out key claims. Certainly a case to watch.

Michael Moore Sued for “Sicko” Video

Apr. 30 2010 at 10:27 AM

Annoying? Maybe. Guilty of copyright infringement? Probably not.

​Ken Aronson of Hoquiam claims he’s got grounds to sue bullhorn-wielding documentarian Michael Moore. But judging by the lawsuit he’s just filed in Tacoma, it sounds like his real beef is with a friend.A decade ago, Aronson was in London when he decided to record said pal crossing Abbey Road on his hands. The friend fell, hurt his shoulder and was treated at an English hospital.

Flash forward a few years. Before filming his 2007 jeremiad against the health care industry, Moore’s production company puts out a call for user-submitted tales of woe. Aronson’s friend sends video of their London trip along with a song they wrote to commemorate the occasion, called “Oh England.”

It portrayed an American talking about the higher standard of care in British hospitals, so Moore decided to use it. And that’s when Aronson decided his copyright had been infringed.

Aronson claims he had no idea his friend kept the film. And says that Moore should have first contacted the original owner (him) to ask for permission before putting it in his movie.

Aronson’s lawsuit doesn’t specify how much money he’s seeking. It just asks the court to award him part of the $50 million “Sicko” grossed, due to the “negative impact” it’s had on his “business expectancy.”
