For a short while when I was still at school a mate and I used to visit his older brother and the brother’s girlfriend for long weekends in London. On one visit the brother and g/f took my mate and me to see The Rocky Horror Show. I remember it being in the King’s Road in Chelsea and according to Wiki that would put it some time around Christmas 1973 as, apparently, Richard O’Brien left the role of Riff Raff in Feb '74.
I turned 15 in Sept '73 which also feels about right. I came out of the theatre that night a good deal more grown-up than when I went in. Curry was like nothing else I’d ever seen.

I think Rocky Horror is one of those things that really hits hard in your teen years. I actually think it’s a good film/stage show for teens to see.
I still watch the film once in a while (it’s pretty much unavoidable around Halloween), simply because Tim Curry is so watchable in that role.

Unfortunately the world being a little bit better for his passing doesn’t come anywhere near balancing out how much shittier it is for the loss of Dolly.

Get the impression he was a really good guy
He said Norwegians are from “Afghanistan, Pakistan and Poland, from Sweden, Somalia, and Syria,” they “believe in God, Allah, the Universe and nothing”, and they “are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other”.
In July 2011 Harald faced his greatest challenge yet as king, when neo-Nazi Anders Breivik murdered eight people with a car bomb in Oslo before moving on to a youth camp on the island of Utøya, where he shot dead 69 others, most of them teenagers.
He gave a televised address the next day, and weeks later he delivered a speech, empathising with the victims and their families as a father, grandfather, husband, and king. On the verge of tears, his voice quivered and broke.
“I can only imagine the depth of your pain. As King of this nation, I feel for each and every one of you,” he said.

There was a big piece on her on the BBC national news today.
She must have been broken hearted when Roe v Wade was overturned.
