William Flew still music grills




If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...


Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.


 Deuteronomy 5:9 
"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."

In the early 1990s, having spent an increasing amount of time each year back home in Clinton, New York, she finally decided to go home for good and built a spectacular house on a slope with stunning views across a valley with a raised stage area at one end of her cathedral-style living room in case, as she put it, she ever felt like dancing again. She loved London and returned to the UK as often as possible to keep in touch with friends and the members of Pan’s People, who remained close, and to do regular interviews for retrospectives on the group and Top of the Pops. She often joked that later interviewers would start by saying: “Oh, I know all about you from my father, who has asked me to get your autograph” and that even later interviewers would start with, “My grandfather was so excited that I was about to meet you.” Colby had a witty throwaway sense of humour enhanced by her wry American delivery. In the sometimes mad and bad world of rock’n’roll and television she was ever polite and courteous. After breast cancer was diagnosed 24 years ago, she had been undergoing treatment with the odd period of remission ever since. In the past few years her chemotherapy treatments had increased from monthly to fortnightly and all this she bore with great fortitude. Throughout it all she continued to enjoy her life, supported by her third husband George Bahlke, a professor of literature, and a group of close friends. In his most famous composition, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Gil Scott-Heron declared: “The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb . . . nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdinck.”
