Apparently the English serial killer is a little (surprise!) off his rocker.

My favorite part (made me laugh out loud): He gives his nickname as "The Bishop," lists his interests as "keeping fit," says he enjoys most types of music -- "especially from the 80s" -- and says his hero is the cartoon character Hong Kong Phooey.

And a new chapter is added to the installment of Behind The Music regarding Journey.
 
Voice of Scatman Crothers, if I remember the character correctly.
 
Hong Kong Phooey was a great show and the late Scatman Crothers was the perfect voice. ABC was the network.
 
Hong Kong Phooey ruled. One of the last great innovations in Saturday morning cartoons before the new shows on Saturday morning kids' TV got all militaristic and un-humorous.

Phooey was OK, but he was no Super Chicken.

Loved Honk Kong Phooey when I was a kid. It wasn't on very long, but they kept the reruns going on Saturday morning for a while. He wasn't one of the A-list cartoon characters, but he was respected enough to briefly earn a place on the Laff-a-Lympics as a member of The Scoobie Doos.
 
All this Hong Kong Phooey talk is a chance to recommend this album -- my kid used to love it....

Looks like a great album, although I'm disappointed to see that the Dickies' versions of the Banana Splits song and Gigantor didn't make it. I think they just showed up on a live album though. The Jam's kick ass cover of Batman would have also been a nice touch, but it still looks pretty solid.

The Dickies were dorks. Geniuses, though.
 
"The Bishop" - I think of the old Monty Python skit where The Bishop is wheeling around a naked girl in a shopping cart.
 
It's ironic that one half of the Hanna-Barbera team that brought you Hong Kong Phooey died today.
 
No ****, my sister e-mailed me today. The guy she is engaged to has an uncle in Ipswich (her fiance's family is from England), and her fiance's uncle worked with the killer for 17 years. ****ing ****, man, that's just creepy.
