Fifty years! It’s a historic rock ’n’roll high school reunion between Brian Wilson & Chris Montez on PleaseKillMe.com!


Hey! I’ve posted more times in the past few weeks than I have in the year I was released -- err,  checked out -- of Her Majesty’s guest lodging, all because my pals are keeping more busy than ever, what with books, stories and film offerings.  The latest is the reunion, after fifty years, of a couple of high school buddies: Beach Boys superstar Brian Wilson and rock ’n’ roll legend Chris Montez.  


The video and story come from my former boss, colleague, competitor-- whatever you wanna call him, I call him “pally” --  Burt Kearns.  He shot the scene for his movie, El Viaje Musical de Ezekiel Montanez: The Chris Montez Story, the documentary that was previewed at Beatles fan conventions and film festivals a few years back and is still in the works.


The story and exclusive video are posted on PleaseKillMe.com, that website based on his old pal Legs McNeil’s  (with the statuesque Gillian McCain) punk rock history book.  (Back in March, Burt and Jeff Abraham wrote a tee-rific piece on my old drinking galpal, Rusty Warren, she of the bawdy tunes and comedy elpees of the Sixties).



You can click here to see the video and read the story on the Please Kill Me site.

Sam sez: Don't miss 'El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle In The Jungle'! Thursday March 10 on Reelz!


Television alert!  Set your DVR  or make sure you've got your Barcalounger in place and ready to spend an hour this Thursday night, March 10 for one thriller of a nonfiction television special: El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle.

The one-hour special premieres at 9 pm Eastern, 6 pm Pacific Time (and there should be a west coast rerun at 8 on the Reelz Channel.

This special is bound to break some news and change recent history, as it tells "the sensational real story behind the Oscar winner’s meeting with the Mexican drug lord, and the famous Hollywood figure who was pulling the strings back in Hollywood."


It features experts including Hollywood producer Vance Owen, our colleagues, The Wrap editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman and Daily Mail showbiz editor (that's her actual title!) Natalie Trombetta, Narcos creator Chris Brancato, Hollywood crime expert Raquel Queen of Bail -- and our old pals: Tyrel Ventura --  late of Conspiracy Theory, now hosting Watching The Hawks on RT and Sean Penn's former assistant -- and Paul Rodriguez, comedian, actor, activist... and... I'll let the cat out of the bag... relative of El Chapo himself!

Don't miss this one, pals and gals! The show comes from P and L Media, the reality television innovators of everything from Judge Judy to A&E's Deadly Paradise... and the producing team includes the reunion of three tabloid television pioneers: Peter Brennan, Lisa Lew and Burt Kearns (yes, of the High There crew).


And I'd be remiss not to add that one of  our subsidiaries, Sam Peters Public Relations, is helping out with the publicity!

See you... after El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle... on the town!
