Maybe it does happen in threes... LITTLE RICHARD, ROY HORN of SIEGFRIED & ROY, and yesterday, soul singer BETTY WRIGHT, who gave us “Clean Up Woman,” “Tonight Is the Night” and “Girls Can’t Do What the Guys Do.” She was 66 years old, and passed away from cancer at her home of Miami. She was a Grammy winner, too --picking one up in 1975 for “Where Is the Love.” She was also nominated for five other Grammys as well.
Some places around the world have already dispensed with social distancing, and one of them is New Zealand, where the last coronavirus case (so far) was reported on Saturday. And according to Deadline, some TV and film productions “are already safely underway,” with sequels underway for the "Lord of the Rings" series and "Avatar."
The folks who run San Diego Comic-Con say they've gotten an alternative for folks who can't stand the thought of dressing up or getting autographs from comic book illustrators and others: they've announced a “Comic-Con at Home” this year on their Twitter page, featuring “personalized snacks, free parking and no lines.” Just in case you're wondering, there's been some thought that there will be a “WonderCon@Home,” like their event after the Anaheim Comic Con was cancelled earlier this year. That online event featured free versions of the panels that were originally scheduled to be live at the event. And, in case you wanna show up in costume, San Diego Comic-Con is all set to be back next year --on July 22, 2021.
