This 1969 Toronto, On(o)tario concert footage has been nearly unavailable to the public, difficult to obtain. Could the reason for this being that it wasn't really John Lennon in concert but a double? Anyone examining the film would notice the difference. One would think that any footage of concert of John Lennon be captured and preserved for posterity. Hmmmm

It's possible many/most of Lennon's post-BEATLES scheduled public appearances were indeed Brill.
It was doublecross as security. If LENNON is shot by a lone nut, but LENNON is Brill, and John is still alive, the lid blows off the PID thing...
Not sure abut Toronto...

UPHAM, N.M. - The cremated remains of actor James Doohan, who portrayed engineer "Scotty" on "Star Trek," and of Apollo 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper soared into suborbital space Saturday aboard a rocket.
[Note the key word here, "SUBorbital" ---it did not acually go high enough to orbit the earth, so how high did it actually go?!]
ADVERTISEMENT
It was the first successful launch from Spaceport America, a commercial spaceport being developed in the southern New Mexico desert.
Suzan Cooper and Wende Doohan fired the rocket carrying small amounts of their husbands' ashes at 8:56 a.m. local time.
"Go baby, go baby," said Eric Knight of the commercial launch company, UP Aerospace Inc. of Farmington, Conn.
Since it was a suborbital flight, the rocket soon plummeted back to Earth, coming down at the White Sands Missile Range.
"We nailed it. We stuck the landing," said Knight.
UP Aerospace launched the first rocket from the desert site in September, but that Spaceloft XL rocket crashed into the desert after spiraling out of control about nine seconds after liftoff. Company officials blamed the failure on a faulty fin design.
Family members paid $495 to place a few grams of their relatives' ashes on the rocket. Celestis, a Houston company, contracted with UP to send the cremated remains into space.
Charles Chafer, chief executive of Celestis, said last month that a CD with more than 11,000 condolences and fan notes was placed on the rocket with Doohan's remains.
Doohan died in July 2005 at age 85. The remains of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry were sent into space in 1997.
The launch from the fledgling spaceport — currently a 100-foot by 25-foot concrete slab in a patch of desert more than 50 miles north of Las Cruces — keeps the New Mexico project ahead of its nearest competitor, in West Texas.
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, is said to be developing the spaceport north of Van Horn, Texas. Bezos' Blue Origin is working to develop tourist space flights [!].
British billionaire Richard Branson also has announced plans to launch a space tourism company, which is expected to have its headquarters at the New Mexico spaceport [!!!!].

[ Remains of `Scotty' and Gordon Cooper take final space ride [Not true ---not that high, they did not really go into space! ]
April 28, 2007 12:22 EDT UPHAM, N.M. (AP) -- A final ride in space for a real space traveler and a man who played one on T-V.
The cremated remains of astronaut Gordon Cooper and actor James Doohan sailed into suborbital space this morning aboard a rocket launched from the New Mexico desert.
Doohan portrayed "Scotty" the engineer on "Star Trek," while Cooper was one of the original Mercury astronauts. He'd been in space twice before.
Onlookers cheered as their widows, Suzan Cooper and Wende Doohan, fired the rocket.
It marked the first successful launch from Spaceport America, a commercial spaceport being developed in southern New Mexico.
Doohan died in 2005 and Cooper in 2004.

Space Oddity indeed.....
considering the story that JPM's remains were sent into space 40 years ago!
Some celebrities who ought to be sent into space who are still ALIVE must include:
Anyone who has been on a "celebrity reality" program....
Anyone who has been a contestant on American Idol
David Hassellhoff
Brittney Spears and Lindsay Lohan
Michael Jackson (why not?)
The members of the cast of Desperate Housewives

Yoko Ono/ John Lennon (Charlie Brill?) Duet of "Born in a Prison," New York City 1974: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNDZoRclpjM&mode=related&search=What happened to Lennon's voice? Eisuke Ono certainly turned northern Vietnam into an open-air "Prison" for the million Vietnamese that he executed and methodically starved to death.

Peter Sellers is funny, isn't he? McCartney has a better look in '65 and '66 with the longer hair and sideburns. I've always noticed when Paul is onstage he often looks over at George as if to try and make him laugh but George is almost always stonefaced.

Why it's Harry Potter! Sean was the inspiration of the child warlock? That picture is from his interview in Rolling Stone a few months ago.

But at least he did bring up the point that TV media honcho Gene Roddenberry came from a career military and FBI family background. The "shadow government" connections to keep in mind when considering his showcasing of Charlie Brill-Lennon as a Klingon spy in a grey Beeatle suit in the tribbles epsidoe.Beatlies, now that sequence I can follow. Wow ! That one struck close to home. My husband & I met at a Star Trek convention !

If he's frequented the Slanted Fedora Conventions, then my husband might've met him. My husband worked at a few of them. I'll ask him tonight if he ever met Charlie Brill. If he did, I'll ask him what he thought of Brill.

I get the sense that Brill impresses people as being quite charming in person.

Charlie Brill in "Bloodstone" (1988) playing the Indian Inspector RAMesh. Peter Sellers-esque, and why do those glasses look so familiar? Eight years after his last appearance as John Lennon in 1980: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHkVnnImqfo

Charlie Brill's ears are at their smaller, Lennon-sized size in that 1988 movie. They were huge in the Beatles debut Ed Sullivan Show, the Tribbles Star Trek and on the "From Our Point of View" Brill and McCall comedy album cover.

Is there such a thing?
