Rest in peace to Philadelphia's favorite adopted son. He did a lot for the disadvantaged youth in Philly. You will definitely be missed, Smokin' Joe!

Ken Russell RIP

R.I.P. indeed.


Film director Ken Russell, who was Oscar-nominated for his 1969 film Women In Love, has died at the age of 84.

His son, Alex Verney-Elliott, said he died in hospital on Sunday following a series of strokes.

During his career, he became known for his controversial films including Women In Love, which featured Oliver Reed and Alan Bates wrestling nude.

He also directed the infamous religious drama The Devils and The Who's rock opera, Tommy, in 1975.

"My father died peacefully, he died with a smile on his face," Mr Verney-Elliott said.

Wow, RIP to a true visionary.

Damn shame about Ken Russell. RIP.

Ditto a genius-The Devils, Tommy, The Lair Of The White Worm and Women In Love are masterpieces-he will never be forgotten.
