Phantom 2,530 Posted February 23, 2016 Jimmy Murphy, Joey 'The Lips' Fagan in The Commitments and Seamus in Angela's Ashes, has died aged 72. I didn't mind The Commitments, but I got so sick of hearing Mustang Sally in the few months after the film came out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,531 Posted February 23, 2016 Johnny Murphy, Joey 'The Lips' Fagan in The Commitments and Seamus in Angela's Ashes, has died aged 71. Edit: it's Johnny, FFS! and he was 71 not 72. The Commitments - absolutely one of my all time favorite movies forever and ever! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted March 3, 2016 Another Leap Day death! And another Detroit-area person where Sir Creep grew up. Morley Candy was the first folks to make turtles or whatever they're called (milk chocolate poured over a cluster of peanuts/caramel) Mmmmmm. And for the record in Sir Creep's old land surveying days he once surveyed the Morley Candy HQ property! All that pretense leading to this:Thomas R. Morley, Sr., former Morley Candy Makers president and chairman of the board died on Feb. 29, 2016. He was 86. Morley was the youngest son of Ervin and Julia Morley who began Morley Candy Makers in 1919. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
