John Corrado said it. I believe it. THAT FUCKING SETTLES IT!
Okay, I watched the History Channel special Dead Men Do Tell Tales.
I’m taping it as we speak-and you would not believe the fucking theories-
-Glenn Miller was on a secret peace mission from General Eisenhower
-He arrived in Paris, but was killed in a bombing raid
-He came home to the States and died of injuries sustained during the D-Day invasion
-He died of a heart attack while in bed with a prostitute
What the fucking HELL?
(Of course, they’re saying the most credible is the one our own esteemed John Corrado said-the bombers letting off bombs from an aborted mission, and the concussion waves hit Miller’s plane).
He did NOT die in a whore house! He was only forty-fucking-years old!
FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
And the whorehouses’s phone number was not Pennsylvania 6-5000!
I know he did not die in a whorehouse, but in a plane crash. I actually watched an accurate historical documentary on him one time.
Isn’t it a bitch that when documentaries eventually get corrected that they still insist on rerunning the older, inaccurate ones as fillers late in the season?
So, are you saying that you have to be at least 41 to go inside a whore house?
Oh, hey, neat- I’ve got an update.
One of the sites that was full of speculation on the “Miller in a brothel” story (http://www.bigbands.net/millercrash.htm)- which was, in fact, so into the story that they were personally trying to get the papers Ulfkotte ‘got’ through the FOIA- has updated since my article was published.
And their update?
Apparently, in March 2001, Ulfkotte appeared on German TV and claimed he never saw any documents, nor was the story anything more than a rumor.
Likewise, this “Clive Ward” person who people claim found Miller’s plane- does not seem to actually exist.
Sigh. It’s the way of the world, Guin. Truth will, eventually, out- but it’s never quite as racy, titillating, or amazing as the stories, so it never quite gets the full play.
Thank you, though, for considering me “esteemed”!
I heard that while conducting ‘moonlight serenade,’ he poked himself in the eye with his conductor’s baton, giving himself a frontal lobotomy. and he’s still alive in a nursing home in the mid-west somewhere. the only thing he’s said for 60 years is "K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-O whatta gal…’ over and over and over…
‘somebody wheel mr miller into the solarium! he’s singing that damn song again!’
Well, you are!
No, what I meant was, the story was he died of a heart attack in a brothel. He was only forty years old-unless his health was really shitty, I doubt he would have died of a heart attack. I mean, I can understand a documentary mentioning the rumor-because it IS an urban legend, but they’d say something like-this is just some rumor some Nazi jerk spread, so it’s stupid.
Besides, I think if someone DID die of a heart attack in a whorehouse, wouldn’t they make a much more simple excuse-like he got sick and died of pneumonia or something like that?
Plus, everything I’ve read about the guy just doesn’t sound like he’d be the type to frequent bordellos.
Hell, you know what’s sad? I saw a special on Miller on “In Search Of”-and they didn’t even MENTION the whorehouse theory. In fact, the weirdest theory was that his plane MAY have gone down on land, shortly after take off.
Plus, they never even mentioned any thing else-like the fact that he and his wife had shortly before he left adopted a son-because Helen Miller could not have children-and that after he left their second adopted child came-a daughter-whom he never even got to see. Which I would think, they should have mentioned, because that’s what made the story so sad.
