Zum Sterben schönes Lied?
*räusper*.
Hier eine kleine, aber mörderische Anekdote dazu:
Am 9. März 1966 wurde im Londoner Pub "The Blind Beggar" ein Mord verübt.
Dabei wurde auch die Jukebox von einer Kugel getroffen. Es lief gerade:
"The sun ain't gonna shine anymore" von den Walker Brothers.
Zitat:
Ronnie Kray & George Cornell
On 9th March 1966 Ron Kray walked into the saloon bar of The Blind Beggar and shot George Cornell in the head using a 9mm Mauser.
Ronnie Kray
George Cornell
Legend would have it that this happened because Cornell had called Ronnie a 'big fat poof', in public, to which Ron obviously took offence and sought revenge. This story seems highly unlikely according to reliable sources and it is more likely the shooting occurred due to a 'business disagreement' involving the Richardson Brothers. After getting a tip-off that Cornell was in the pub, Ron Kray arrived with another member of The Firm, ‘Scotch’ Ian Barrie. Cornell was seated at the bar, drinking a Gin and Tonic.
On seeing Ronnie, Cornell mocked him further and in silence Ron took the gun from his pocket and shot George Cornell in the head. Ian Barrie fired some shots into the ceiling. They turned around and walked out as calmly as they had come in.
The record playing on the jukebox (which also took a bullet), at the time was 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' by the Walker Brothers.
This wasn't the first murder in The Blind Beggar. In 1904 a man called Wallis who was a member of The Blind Beggar Gang (a notorious firm of pick-pockets who frequented the pub), stabbed another man in the eye with an umbrella.
