Joseph Brooks, 1938-2011


In news you should not take personally, the man who wrote "You light up my life/You give me hope to carry on," killed himself yesterday. It is actually a very sad and disturbing story. Joseph Brooks was awaiting trial on 82 charges of sexual misconduct, including rape. His son, Nicholas, is awaiting trial on charges that he murdered his girlfriend, Sylvie Cachay, in December.

@jolie yes, not working with my hangover.

That's nothing. I hear he made his horse a producer on one of Maureen McGovern's albums.
