Category: The Elusive Beatrice Howard

I decided to put up all my raw notes on Ron…They are just that Raw Notes. I didn’t want to lose them and everyday the paper boy brings more. If you decide to explore my notes most are songs written by Ron probably over 95 percent correct here and close to 100 percent elsewhere. My notes are pretty accurate when it comes to songs he wrote. If Ron did the song he’s likely in the band. IF he’s not in the band then someone he really likes got to perform the song. There’s stuff from other places, some stuff has been changed by spell check and i have no idea and somethings are hunches and can be completely wrong. There are commercials, lots for cigarettes. Here’s the issue I may never make it through most of this and I’m about to post another file that’s bigger that this. Some I’ve gone through, some I haven’t. Happy hunting if you’re on the prowl.

Ron Howard was a member of The Firm and wrote the song “Star Trekken” Now I’m seeing a lot of great music done by Ron Howard and The Firm. Must have missed it while I was doing that medical school thing.

I hit this by mistake but I mentioned earlier that Ron Howard was John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. This is really kind of yummy…must have missed this as well!https://www.youtube.com/watch?

this is good too

The movie, “Cruising” got beat up worse than a gayed-up Al Pacino in a police precinct…

Al Pacino and some Jim Brown looking guy in Cruising

…and as I recall Al Pacino got crapped on worse than Hilly Holbrook in “The Help”.

https://giphy.com/gifs/the-help-bryce-dallas-howard-JdLLYVLYvHPbO

I glanced at wikipedia for a bit to see why the film took a worse licking than a gamer with a Nintendo switch cartridge.

It appears gay groups did not embrace it… not like the ballet dancers who game out in droves for the Black Swan which was way creepier than Cruising could have ever been!

Well TFB, I liked Cruising. I thought it would surely be another hit for Big Gay Al but it wasn’t. Maybe it will go down somewhere in history as a historical piece because what went on in the film was in part what went on at the time in NYC.

I thought it was an open film, tough, at times difficult to watch, kind of like watching for the first time Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry) undress into his corset, panties and stockings in Rocky Horror Picture show. I still blush at that.

I’ll lay down ten bucks Curry is in this film somewhere.

.

When I have a chance I’ll rewatch it and post an update to this column.

Don’t forget the great Al Pacino turns out to be Billy Mumy so don’t piss him off!!!

This episode of Twilight Zone only gets creepier and scarier the older I get!

 

So we have members of the Grateful Dead from the Howard Family and after looking for him for ten years I believe I found Jerry Garcia, alive and well! I asked Ron once who acknowledged he was alive but not much else. I think I also have Paul McCartney leaving me only John Lennon to find, and Dustin Hoffman and Richard Dreyfus and Sonny Bono. I’ve been looking for these three for a while and I’ll post them soon. I think I have Graham Nash as well.

This is from yesterdays post on Clint Howard. Most of what I’m posting now are exclusionary diagnoses of Billy Mumy. This is people I’ve looked for for months or years. You know it has to be a Howard but you’ve run out of them except for Billy. Now Elvis is floating out there, and The Donald, and a few others but largely I’m going with where the money is and today it’s on Billy Mumy. Kind of like diagnosing Fibromyalgia; you know it’s painful and you’ve excluded every other diagnosis so you’re left with Billy Mumy. This will have to do until I find a smoking gun on Billy like we see in the Marilyn Monroe/Jackie Kennedy post.

Since we have three brothers: Ron Howard, Clint Howard and Billy Mumy we get to fill in some people. We already identified Elton John as Billy Mumy.

He looks tired. Neck appears peculiar, hint of V-Neck at the base. Possibly swollen and sick. Ostentatiously dressed, hints of possible homosexuality.

Now using basic logic if David Crosby is Clint Howard and Ron Howard is Stephen Stills then the third member of CSN, Graham Nash, has to be Billy Mumy. So have all three.

Smoking guns need to be relatively consistent through different characters. You know it’s good if the powers that be try to hide it like on George Bush where he only wears collared shirts.

So far we have Billy Mumy as Elton John, and Graham Nash. Let’s look at Treat Williams who we worked with earlier.

Hard to make out V-Neck here but such a great photo I had to put it up. Also very likely to be a Converse sneaker ad with Treat making sure the Converse logo is facing the viewing audience.

We’re at three now: Billy Mumy is Elton John, Graham Nash and Treat Williams. What’s the theme? Good looking guys. So far each one of the characters that Billy plays is some good looking yummy muffin. Let’s look at the Beatles!

Let’s Break and watch Riverdale!

I am rejuvenated!

Beatles coming up. Here we have in the front row all three Howard brothers and Ron Howard’s first son. I had this up before but did not ID Christopher Walken as Billy Mummy.

We’re at four now Billy Mumy is Elton John, Graham Nash, Treat Williams and Christopher Walken.

I would have sworn Ron was Christopher Walken except he’s Woody Allen and they were in one of the funniest scenes from any Woody Allen film together. Christopher Walken could pass for any of the Howard brothers. He looks a bit like Clint in the above clip and below could pass for Ron but he’s got Billy’s V-Neck so we’ll call it Billy Mumy. I would bet that at some point Ron has played Christopher Walken. He’s an easy one to impersonate, but I could be wrong.

I received confirmation that Ron has played Christopher Walken and on 2 or 3 occasions so has Clint. This may solve the conundrum of Bill Murray and Bruce Willis who I both have as Ron Howard though the appear together in Moonrise Kingdom. I suspected when I watched the film that Bill Murray and Bruce Willis were brothers because the film was a labor of love and there’s no reason to have Bill Murray and Bruce Willis in any film together except if they’re related and doing a labor of love film. I’ll have to double check them again at some point.

 

 

 

Lot’s of people showed up in my office. I had warned my staff there would be curiosity seekers. I identified none of them though I heard “Little Miss Sunshine” in my head when I met with her and said someone looked like Christie Brinkley and she made me dizzy. I went steady with her for about two years…OK…it was actually a Sports Illustrated magazine with her in it that I went steady with but it was a nice relationship none the less.

I was fairly certain of all the people, if no one else, I would pick Clint Howard out. Wrong! Nope! Not even close! OK so how did I get here today?

I started watching “Phantasm” my favorite horror flick though I didn’t see it in the theaters. Great story, some horror, some science fiction, super characters, weapons, elvis and Reggie. We’ll come back to Elvis later. On the screen Clint Howard may be easy to ID but usually not. He is another true Master of Disguise however they left enough of him as is to make the ID. “This is Tranya…I hope you relish it as much as I.”

In the film Reggie Bannister near the end picks up a guitar and starts playing a song which is really difficult to hear but I make it out as “Uncle John’s Band”. A clue!! I’m a big fan of the Grateful Dead but some of the details get lost on me so I went to see who wrote it… Robert Hunter! I went to see what Robert Hunter looked like…Yahtzee!! Looked like Clint Howard!

This article parallels my opinion regarding Robert Hunter and his work. Here is the link and the first two paragraphs.

https://americansongwriter.com/2015/09/behind-the-song-the-grateful-dead-ripple/

As a result of their well-deserved reputation as the preeminent live act of their era, it’s understandable that the studio recordings of The Grateful Dead can be somewhat overshadowed. Along those same lines, the songwriting prowess of the band, which often boiled down to the music of Jerry Garcia and the lyrics of Robert Hunter, doesn’t always get the credit it deserves.

 Yet in 1970, the Dead released a pair of studio albums within months of each other that seemed to both capture the unease of an entire generation unmoored from their ideals and act as a balm to soothe those disappointments. Workingman’s Dead was quickly followed by American Beauty, and from that latter album came “Ripple,” perhaps the quintessence of both the band’s delicate studio magic and the Garcia/Hunter partnership.

How do I know that Clint Howard wrote this song and not Ron Howard? (Ron Howard is Phil Lesh). Ron writes a lot of music but he can’t write everything that’s out there. I saw Robert Hunter do an interview about three songs he wrote while he was in England. Now Clint is a premium actor and could have faked the interview but I found it really authentic and he welled with emotion when he talked about getting to England which he was really excited about and with it having a full case or two of Retsina. He then penned down these three songs. If this is the truth then Clint Howard wrote most of the songs off my favorite album of all time, “American Beauty” by “The Grateful Dead” and my favorite song, “Ripple”. I wore out my first copy of it and still gifted it to someone I loved, ironically also named… Robert! It is a truly beautiful and spiritual album that is unsurpassed though there is ton’s of great Dead music out there.

The theme for Clint Howard in terms of appearance is receding hair line. You don’t see him shirtless much and Ron shows up shirtless half the time and fully naked the other half in his characters. I think I once saw him with his clothes on!!! LOL!

Below is the classic tracheotomy of a Howard. I’m pretty sure a lot of these are from motor vehicle accidents but I have a theory that life extension has gotten so advanced that the Howards change their internal organs once every 15 or so years. Why they can’t change their necks as well I don’t know but I think they’re only replaced as need be but happy and willing clones who don’t really get that they’re about to be used for spare parts.

So we have members of the Grateful Dead from the Howard Family and after looking for him for ten years I believe I found Jerry Garcia, alive and well! I asked Ron once who acknowledged he was alive but not much else. I think I also have Paul McCartney leaving me only John Lennon to find, and Dustin Hoffman and Richard Dreyfus and Sonny Bono. I’ve been looking for these three for a while and I’ll post them soon. I think I have Graham Nash as well.

So the king of receding hairlines has to be David Crosby of Crosby, Stills and Nash.  Steven Stills is Ron Howard and I probably have Graham Nash for tomorrow.

Here’s just about my favorite performance from TV. The biggest possible sound you can get out of three acoustic guitars with a great tune that could only have been written by Ron Howard because who else can incorporate geography into both his songs and his children!

But that’s not what nailed down for me that David Crosby is Clint Howard. “You’ve seen my razzle… now here’s my dazzle!”-Felix Unger…

A terrific singer named Melissa Etheridge  reportedly had a baby with her lesbian paramour. Now between the two of them neither was able to produce any semen so as the story goes they had to come up with the one person they could think of who’s sperm would produce a great musician. They wouldn’t reveal at first who it was but later on revealed it was David Crosby which was really kind of a big deal elevating David Crosby to stratospheric levels being the modern lesbians choice of sperm donors!!!

I decided it was a good time to see what Melissa Etheridge looked like because if she looked like Clint’s wife, Melanie Howard, which I was pretty sure she did, then David Crosby was in fact Clint Howard. Let’s look at the two:

oh oh dead end here!!!

Not so sure this is going where I thought it would. Made an error earlier and mistook Linda Blair for his wife. I’m going to leave this dead end for a while so people can see what can go wrong.

Linda Blair looks a bunch like Melissa Etheridge certainly more than Melanie Howard and I’m going to call this a win with Clint Howard nuzzled up to Etheridge. Clint Howard is David Crosby. Also his brother Ron is in the band that should have been enough.

More to come but now…

Shout out for Riverdale on Netflix. Super job on updated Archie comics to TV show. I give the first episode a 10/10. Awesome show with a murder mystery running through it. Oh and BTW…that’s Mrs. Baruch as Mrs. Grundy.!! Question of the day… Mrs. Grundy’s first name on the show is Geraldine…what is it in the comics? First prize gets a video of my kolonoscopy!!! Good luck!!

Bonus Question: What is Jughead Jones’ first name?

They seek her here…

They seek her there…

Those Frenchies seek her everywhere

Be she in Heaven…

or be she in Hell

That darned elusive…

Pimpernel!!

 

Mrs. Grundy’s first name in the comics is Grisensnable and Jughead’s is Forsyth.

First name[edit] from Wikipedia

Her first name is most often given as Geraldine. However, at least once, another staff member called her “Amanda”.^{[volume & issue needed]} She was also called “Alice” in at least one mainstream story.^{[volume & issue needed]} In Archie’s Double Digest (#41), she was revealed to be an alumna herself of Riverdale High School, and had run for class president, in a joke about the need to clean off the bulletin board. Her forename was given as “Elizabeth” in The Archie and Sabrina Hour, and as “Doris” in the animated series Archie’s Weird Mysteries. In one story about Jughead‘s correct first name, it was revealed as Grisensnable.^{[volume & issue needed]} In an earlier Archie book that listed the names of the characters, her name was also “Gertrude”. Nevertheless, Geraldine remains her commonly accepted name.
