I agree with you too that Bishop was indeed a force of life to use an expression.<br /><br />Thank you my friend. Amen to that!<br />SffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-89226616549483436632011-06-04T06:23:49.777-04:002011-06-04T06:23:49.777-04:00Hi SFF:
A beautiful post, remembering three great...Hi SFF:<br /><br />A beautiful post, remembering three great talents. <br /><br />Bishop and Billington, as you note, represented the continuing faces of UFO, and did so brilliantly. Even today, their work really holds up well. Sometimes, it seems, Bishop held the whole show together through his force of will. He was a charismatic performer, in my opinion.<br /><br />And Tomblin was an amazing director, and one of my favorites. The work he did on "Force of Life," to name just one show, was gorgeous and cinematic. Every time I watch that episode of 1999, I admire the prologue, with the camera flipping upside down. Tomblin had great style, to be sure.<br /><br />An excellent tribute...still sad that we've lost all three of these great ones.<br /><br />best,<br />JKMJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-63726932219442656632011-06-03T21:01:07.816-04:002011-06-03T21:01:07.816-04:00Right.
