“ripped from the headlines” tv movies have gotten a bad rap over the years—and deservedly so. after all, most such projects combine sensationalism and superficiality to create stupidity. yet the law of averages ensures that some timely telefilms are bound to be worthwhile. one example is the death of richie, the respectable dramatization of a grim real - life incident during which a suburban father shot his own teenaged son to death. like so many hand - wringing tv dramas of the ’70s, the death of richie illustrates the plight of parents whose teenagers become drug addicts .

few longitudinal studies of delinquent youth have examined risk factors for early violent death. some studies had too few deaths to analyze risk factors. 1, 5 the largest and most recent investigations found substance abuse, gang involvement, and criminal activity are among the risk factors associated with early violent death. 6, 7, 8

another thing that bugs me about the ernst business is that, up until this point, his flashbacks haven’t been a huge part of the show. it seems strange to attach so much dramatic weight to his death and specter .
we examined rates of and risk factors for firearm homicide and other causes of death in delinquents 16 years after detention. our study analyzes gender differences; compares hispanics, african americans, and non - hispanic whites; and includes a representative sample of delinquents .
to our knowledge, this is the first large - scale study to document the high death rate of delinquent females in adulthood, providing new data on mortality rates and modifiable risk factors in this vulnerable population. although risk of mortality is lower in delinquent females than males, delinquent females died at nearly 5 times the rate of females in the general population .

the death of richie
, more than thirty - five years later, remains a pretty effective made - for - television movie. it is fairly tough going at times, for several reasons. the main reason is that it portrays drug addiction in a pretty realistic fashion, showing that there is no easy way out of the situation for both the addict and his loved ones. another reason is with the character of richie. he is a pretty unlikable fellow, though after some time i realized that may have been the point, to show that drugs can make anyone into a repulsive sort of person. benson gives an excellent performance as richie, though ben gazarra also deserves kudos portraying the struggling father who is not completely sympathetic. if there is a flaw in the movie, it may be that it does not illustrate how richie got into drugs in the first place - the movie starts in the middle of his addiction. though i do realize that movies don' t always have the time to show every detail of a situation .
the northwestern juvenile project is a prospective longitudinal study of health needs and outcomes of a stratified random sample of 1829 youth (657 females, 1172 males; 524 hispanic, 1005 african american, 296 non - hispanic white, 4 other race / ethnicity) detained between 1995 and 1998. data on risk factors were drawn from interviews; death records were obtained up to 16 years after detention. we compared all - cause mortality rates and causes of death with those of the general population. survival analyses were used to examine risk factors for mortality after youth leave detention .

delinquent youth continue to have substantially higher mortality rates than the general population in adulthood, irrespective of gender or race / ethnicity. homicide was the most prevalent cause of death among male (90 %) and female (42 %) participants; nearly all homicides involved firearms. african - american males had the highest mortality rates but among the lowest mortality ratios because death rates among african americans in the general population are high. 37 our findings mirror racial / ethnic disparities in the general population. in 2010, african - american males comprised 14. 6% of the general population aged 15 to 29 years 11 but nearly 75% of deaths by homicide. 37

was the most hilarious of all. most of this movie was so over wrought, so hyperbolic, that today i look back on the death of richie as camp rather than good drama. i no longer smoke pot or do other drugs, but if this movie were to be rerun on some retro / classics channel i might consider a few bong hits to get me in the proper mood to watch it .
homicide is the third leading cause of mortality in general population youth aged 15 to 29 years. groups at greatest risk for early violent death (racial / ethnic minorities, males, poor persons, and urban youth) are overrepresented in the juvenile justice system .
later in the day, peewee and richie speak with an experienced soldier who further confirms the rumor of a coming truce. richie writes a letter to kenny, telling him that the war is going to end very soon. after killing time at the base for ten days, richie, peewee, and a terrified young man named jenkins are finally assigned to a camp near chu lai. on the truck headed for their new squad, peewee says he is not afraid, but richie can tell that peewee is just as frightened as he is. jenkins begins crying, which calms richie, who feels braver by comparison .

based on a true story, this drama depicts the downfall of teenager richie werner (robby benson) through a destructive drug habit. induced by peers to use drugs, richie is drawn deeper into a pattern of addiction, to the horror of his girlfriend, mother (eileen brennan) and brother (lance kerwin). richie' s behavior is dealt with most forcefully by his father (ben gazzara), who will not tolerate drugs. when richie becomes increasingly violent, his family must take action. initial release: january 10, 1977
kristine & michelle, my condolences on your father' s death. i too read the book and saw the movie years ago and never forgot it. the funny thing about the book was that even though the focus was on richie, i always thought brick (lenny) was the more interesting character. i had always wondered what happened to brick and was able to correspond with him via email (still have them). i could tell through his words that he carried a sadness about richie and missed him alot .

richie performed in over 500 shows around the world with the ramones and wrote several critically - acclaimed and fan - favorite songs for the albums animal boy, too tough to die and halfway to sanity. punk rock icon, joey ramone, remarked that “ [ richie ] saved the band as far as i’m concerned. he’s the greatest thing to happen to the ramones. he put the spirit back in the band. ”
delinquent youth are at risk for early violent death after release from detention. however, few studies have examined risk factors for mortality. previous investigations studied only serious offenders (a fraction of the juvenile justice population) and provided little data on females .
according to another acquaintance of richie' s (his online handle was
keeno
), richie and russell didn' t even get along, and that richie had beat his brother up a few times for
acting gay
. i also have to wonder if the whole dance thing was b. s. if richie hated his father so much by 1971, why would he let his dad help him sell raffle tickets for a car ?
the four soldiers finally arrive at their new base. the commanding officer tells richie that his medical file has not yet arrived. richie tries to write a letter home but cannot find the right words. that night, richie, peewee, and jenkins go on night patrol with their squad. simpson, the squad sergeant, warns the new soldiers not to get him killed because of their inexperience, as he is just four months away from completing his tour of duty. the patrol is more terrifying than richie had ever expected, but goes smoothly until the very end. just as they are reentering their camp, jenkins steps on a land mine, and is killed instantly .
but speaking to urltoken on the red carpet before the awards ceremony last night, richie, who plays alfie moon, insisted that eastenders had been ‘sensitive’ in relation to its handling of the storyline and rather than be an underhand ploy to grab ratings, it was simply pushing the boundaries of script - writing .
no. camp eagle feather, on raquette lake in new york, was a great water skiing camp. one of richie' s bunk mates for a while was the world famous waterskier, wayne grimditch! richie' s last year at camp was also the last year the camp was in operation. the piciniches owned and ran the camp. the owner' s wife was eleanor. she treated everyone like family. signed: wild in the woods

i lived on midland urltoken well. my brother graduated in 73, and knew richie as well. not on good terms though... did you live down on the end of the block near the fitzgeralds, or were you closer to the greene' s ?
on the trip over, richie befriends judy duncan, an army nurse, and harold gates, a cocky young black soldier from chicago whom his friends call peewee. the plane stops overnight in osaka, japan, and due to another bureaucratic mishap, the soldiers are forced to pay for their own dinners and sleep on benches in the airport. richie feels unease at these signs of what he sees as the army’s general incompetence. he buys a souvenir for his younger brother, kenny. when he finally arrives in vietnam, richie is separated from judy duncan, but is assigned to the same barracks as peewee. though the sound of artillery in the distance makes him anxious, richie is somewhat comforted by the fact that the camp in vietnam looks exactly like his basic - training facility back in massachusetts .
uncertain of his future goals, seventeen - year - old richie perry, a black high school graduate from harlem, travels to vietnam to fight in the united states army. when richie leaves basic training for vietnam, he harbors a host of illusions about the war and the army. he confidently believes that the medical profile he has received for a knee injury will be properly processed and prevent him from engaging in combat. he also believes in the flurry of rumors about imminent peace and in the prevalent romantic myths about warfare .

in 1971, richie moved with his father to fresno, california, where the teenager thrived and even talked of plans for college. but when meeker was transferred out of town, richie persuaded his parents to let him remain in fresno on his own to complete his senior year. soon afterward, he began to use drugs .
doe - eyed ’70s dreamboat robby benson stars as richie werner, the oldest of two sons in a middle - class american family. much to the chagrin of his repressed parents, george (ben gazzara) and carol (eileen brennan), richie runs with a gang of dropouts who abuse booze, grass, and pills. tortured by shyness and upset by his inability to score with girls, richie even builds a hidden room inside the werner home, converting a crawlspace into a drug lair complete with blacklight posters and a strobe lamp .
the problem is not just that the plot twist is hackneyed, it’s that it’s hard to care about one more manifestation of richie’s cocaine problem. he’s been inhaling coke and violating social norms since the pilot episode, so there’s not much new here, other than watching the actor bobby cannavale turn up the volume until the knob twists off. richie hasn’t given viewers much reason to root for him, either as a hero or as an antihero. his descent into the gutter is presumably meant to be a thrilling wallow in bad behavior, but it’s just pathetic and adolescent. furthermore, richie has shown no signs of actually being an effective record - company president at any point, unless the metric of success is “most frequent speeches about the importance of real rock ‘n’ roll. ”

causes of death of delinquent youth at ages 15 to 29 compared with the general population (n = 1829), standardized on ccjtdc population. general population refers to all males and females ages 15 to 29 years who died in cook county, illinois, in 2005. other cause of death includes internal causes and other accidents. compared with the general population, delinquent males and females experienced a significantly (p <. 05) higher percentage of deaths due to homicide and its subcategory, homicide by firearm. the total proportion of deaths due to homicide (firearm and other) were 90% for delinquent males, 39% for general population males, 42% for delinquent females, and 14% for general population females. due to rounding error, sums of percentages in the figure may not be accurate .

hi, i read the book
richie
when i was very young, and never forgotten it. i was horrified that the father killed his own son. richie needed help from his dad, not to be murdered by him. it was just so very sad .
richie is wounded in a battle and transferred to a hospital. during the peaceful weeks spent recuperating, he begins to remember the joys of safety and gains a new sense of the horrors of war. when he is declared healthy and ordered to rejoin his unit, he wonders how he can possibly go back into combat and considers deserting the army. in the end, though, he rejoins his unit as ordered .
although homicide rates have dropped dramatically since their all - time high in the late 1990s, 66 11 101 people were killed in firearm homicides in 2011. 67 we failed to reach the surgeon general’s goal (from healthy people 2010) to cut homicide rates in one - half. 68 our study of delinquent youth identifies the vulnerability of females, the high risk of mortality among african americans and hispanics, and the importance of modifiable risk factors (alcohol use disorder, gang membership, and drug dealing). moreover, disparities in life expectancy between african americans and non - hispanic whites 69 may persist, in part, because delinquent african - american youth have higher death rates from homicide. delinquent youth are an identifiable target population to reduce disparities in early violent death .

. my dad and i spent a weekend with george and russel and i felt such sadness for richie' s brother. guys i am very interested in other sides to this story. richie could have very easily been me except i was living in los angeles about the same time .
saw this movie summer 1978 while on vacation in florida. never forgot this movie. had a profound effect on me. back then it seemed like a mean, bossy dad was the cause of this. now it is obvious it was a teen who could not survive socially in the outer world who had a lot of internal conflicts and a dad who bore a lot of abuse in the working world trying to support his family. neither needed abuse from the other and both saw the other as another problem they did not need. both were victims. the mom and dad probably suffered until they died. hopefully they are all reunited in a different sphere in peace and love with each other. none of them deserved this. if richie has lived i think time would have revealed that there were many issues richie had that were unrelated to his father such as abuse by a stranger or someone else. it would be interesting to hear richie' s brother describe life before and after richie' s death if he is still alive .

in her memoir, moore recalled receiving a phone call from a “frantic and sobbing” richie, who admitted he was in trouble with a drug dealer. “i realized the extent of the tangle that was now my son’s life. ”
anybody who’s ever seen “the sixth sense” (or “the ghost whisperer, ” or “battlestar galactica”) will cotton to ernst’s true nature pretty quickly, but the clues are steadily doled out anyway: ernst doesn’t talk to anybody except richie, he mysteriously disappears and reappears, he has a “ketchup” stain on his pants. at the end of the episode, richie and devon both stagger home to connecticut, but when richie tells her that he’s been partying with ernst, she reacts in horror. they have another fight, but this time devon flees with the children in her station wagon .
to celebrate the fact that the show finally made it to the revelation that it had been telegraphing for the past hour, we then watch one of the series’ trademarks: a performance by an actor impersonating a 1950s rock star. in this case, buddy holly sings a haunting “rave on” in front of the cyclone, surrounded by smoke and lit by neon. the song ends, and we see 1973 richie back at the cyclone, breathing hard, forcing himself to confront his errors .

this week’s “vinyl” is an hour of richie and devon revisiting their pasts. for devon, that means staying with her friend ingrid at the chelsea hotel, talking about how lonely she is in connecticut and posing nude for ingrid’s artist boyfriend. for richie, that means snorting cocaine and then snorting more cocaine .
we estimated all - cause mortality rates in cook county by using the single - decrement period life table method. 28 to make contemporaneous comparisons between our cohort data and period data from cook county, we created 3 synthetic cohorts from the years 2000, 2005, and 2008. we standardized cook county rates to reflect the racial / ethnic and gender distribution of the ccjtdc population; 95% cis were based on the poisson distribution. 29 we used the delta method to compute rate ratios comparing mortality rates and specific causes of death .
as richie witnesses ever - increasing levels of destruction and brutality, he begins to doubt whether there is any straightforward morality in war. he sees that the line between good and bad is often ambiguous. he also becomes disillusioned with the selfishness of his commanding officers, particularly the company commander, captain stewart, who is more concerned with earning a promotion than he is with the safety of the soldiers under his command. when richie’s platoon leader, lieutenant carroll, is killed during a combat mission, richie begins a serious search for answers to why he and his fellow soldiers are even fighting in vietnam in the first place. though his friends insist that such thoughts are futile and dangerous, richie feels compelled to find meaning within the chaos. he also longs for some way to communicate his confused thoughts and emotions to his family, but he remains unable to do so. richie is not sure how to sort out the emotions he feels or how to communicate them effectively to civilians who have never seen combat .

let’s go back to that car sequence. as heavy and dumb a cinderblock as the actual crash is, there’s no denying the power of the vision that arrives with the aftermath. when richie awakes from the accident surrounded by pain—ernst dead on the ground and devon writhing in the back seat with blood pouring from between her legs—he gazes at the coney island cyclone directly in front of him. a specter of buddy holly then appears before the vehicle, rocking his way through “rave on” as the historic wooden rollercoaster looms in the background. when separated from vinyl ’s melodrama, that’s a striking image on its own, hypnotic to look at and emblematic of how we’ll always tie certain songs to certain events, for better or for worse .

delinquency is commonly associated with the perpetration of violence, but delinquent youth are also at risk for early violent death. 1 – 5 in their classic study of 500 white delinquent male subjects sampled in the 1940s, 2 glueck and glueck found that nearly 5% had died by age 32 years, compared with 2. 2% of nondelinquent control subjects. increased risk persisted to age 65 years. 3 a more recent longitudinal study of delinquent youth found that their mortality rates, after adjusting for demographic differences, were > 4 times those of general population youth. 4
gang membership (78. 4% of males; 40. 7% of females) and drug dealing (85. 8% of males; 48. 4% of females) were significantly associated with external - cause mortality and homicide. the hazard of external - cause mortality and homicide decreased over time (
by the end of “cyclone, ” it’s looking like zak might end up being more of a musical savior to american century than richie. sitting at the wind - down of his daughter’s bat mitzvah, having ejected richie for showing up high and gradually ruining the lives of his coworkers, zak stares intently at a young man playing “life on mars” on the piano. it’s not clear exactly what he sees in the rendition—whether he’s becoming open to piano covers at the label, wants to pursue bowie more doggedly, or something else altogether—but he’s clearly moved. i doubt the show would do anything so severe as make zak the protagonist, but a more prominent role for him would be most welcome. because at this point, vinyl would be much more unique if he and richie started working in cooperation, not in conflict. we’ve seen so many of the main character’s flaws. it’s time to see some oh his strengths, and hopefully a lot less dead people .
am i right in assuming that most of you figured out ernst was dead (or at least imaginary) from the moment richie started talking to him? i say that not to flaunt any kind of intellectual superiority—i’m a very gullible viewer—but to point out how tired a device it is: the concept of a mentally unstable character with a devil on his shoulder, a devil that encourages him to go further down the rabbit hole of depravity and addiction .
i' d rather see parents try to be more understanding and aware of the help that is available out there as a result of this tragedy .
it’s clearly meant to be a big dramatic reveal when the camera pans around to show the huge bloody hole in the back of ernst’s head, but any viewer who is surprised to discover that ernst is actually a cocaine - induced hallucination was probably also shocked at the end of each episode of “scooby - doo. ”

lying in bed, richie reflects that he joined the army in part to earn money to send home to kenny, and in part to avoid tough questions about his impossible dreams for the future. over breakfast the next morning, peewee tells richie that he likes the army because for the first time in his life he has exactly what everyone else has—the same clothing, shoes, food, and so on. a large african - american soldier named rings approaches richie and peewee and asks them to cut their skin so that they can all become blood brothers. he explains that they need to stick together as fellow blacks. when richie and peewee refuse to do as rings asks, he calls them uncle toms .
back with his unit, richie learns that the old squad leader, sergeant simpson, has been sent home. his replacement is the racist sergeant dongan, who always places black soldiers in the most dangerous positions. early in their tour of duty, there are racial and ethnic tensions among the squad members, which frequently result in physical confrontations. as the squad’s bond grows stronger, however, petty prejudices begin to fade, and the squad bands together against dongan’s racism. soon, dongan is killed, and the squad is placed under the command of one of its own soldiers, corporal brunner .

having read the book as a teenager and then watching the movie, i was concerned my older brother would meet the same fate as richie. police were always at our house breaking up fights between my brother and my father. it must be hard to be a jr. like my brother and richie. now i am a high school teacher and show the movie to my students, although its a little outdated. the message is still the same: addiction destroys families .
i was a classmate of richie' s at east meadow high school in the 10th grade - this is 1970. a couple of times we crossed paths in school (the school had 4000 students) and if i recall we were in spanish class when he said to me
i got to take a wizzz
. i remember how he always exagerated and stretched his words - so he says come wih me so we can get out of this class. so i go to the boys room across the hall and he proceeds to pee outside the window instead of the urinal. of course i am laughing but somehow someone saw the pee coming out of the boys room window and was searching class to class to figure out who did this. they never did. until now .
as richie searches for meaning in the war, he also searches for his own sense of self. he struggles to unravel his motivations for enlisting in the army, wondering whether his reason was a selfless one, based on the desire to earn money to provide for kenny, or a selfish one—simply to escape from the hard life he faced in harlem. richie also forces himself to confront the uncomfortable question of what he will do when he returns to civilian life. though he is highly intelligent and highly motivated and has ambitions to become a writer, his family is too poor to send him to college. richie’s father abandoned the family years ago, and his mother has since become an alcoholic. richie is afraid that without an education he has no career potential, and he is unsure what he has to look forward to if he survives .
no, richie never lived to graduate, as he died at the end of february. this friday it will be 43 years to the day he died. i wonder if he could have pulled it together and focused enough to keep his grades up and graduate ?
my name is lenny. in real life i was richies best friend. in the movie and book they called me brick. i know the real story about richie and his father. it ...
though womack was noticeably absent from the awards ceremony, shane took it upon himself, as a member of the cast in the plot, to make clear that eastenders ran the storyline purely based on the fact it was dramatic as opposed to raising its profile .
an interesting side note: the car crash that occurred near the end of richie' s life, that really seemed to push his father over the edge - there was richie, lenny, mark (i think) and a fourth member, whose name was john, i believe. if i remember correctly, the next day or so, his family sent him away to rehab, far from east meadow and the drugs, etc... he was found dead of an od on new year' s eve, 1979 (i think). the above is all according to the afore mentioned keno, whose blog / story i have read .
‘i don’t think it is ever about ratings and i’m aware some of the complaints actually happened before the show went out so i think that actually says more about the people who don’t watch the show, ’ he said .
you know... i was thinking: even the best marksmen on the shooting range will often, when in real physical danger, miss their target. george diener was not a policeman. he never used his gun against anything but stationary targets before he killed richie. i have two theories here. one: unless there was a fluke, he couldn' t have possibly hit richie in the heart from the distance that was claimed. i' m beginning to think he shot richie at point - blank range. two: if he wasn' t shot point - blank, it would explain all the questions about why he couldn' t have shot richie in the arm or leg. too much adrenaline screws with your aim. explains why the second shot went wide and missed completely .
hi, my name is lenny. you might know me better by the name brick. that was my name in the movie and book. if you knew richie please let us know by leaving a message .
we addressed these limitations by using newly available data from the northwestern juvenile project, a large - scale longitudinal study of health needs and outcomes of delinquent youth. 4, 16, 17 we used interview data and obtained official death records up to 16 years after participants’ baseline interview, analyzing all - cause mortality and deaths from all external causes (homicides, unintentional injuries, and suicides), 18 homicide alone, and firearm homicide alone. in the present article, we: (1) calculated mortality rates according to gender, race / ethnicity, and age, comparing them with the general population in cook county, illinois (hereafter referred to as general population); (2) compared causes of death with the general population; and (3) determined the association between mortality and modifiable risk factors, such as substance use disorders, gang membership, and drug dealing .
4. the music nearly came to a halt on saturday night. just hours into the festival, woodstock’s organizers were hemorrhaging money. the sheer number of attendees and the logistics of collecting money and tickets at the gates had forced them to abandon the idea of a for - pay concert and instead let everyone in for free. in addition, they were forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars contracting helicopters to transport food, supplies and the musical acts to and from the site. weeks earlier, in an effort to attract music’s biggest stars to the festival, woodstock’s organizers had agreed to pay some artists more than twice their going rate—and on saturday many of them demanded that they be paid, in cash, before going on stage. fearful of what the crowd would do if the music came to a halt, organizer john roberts agreed to use his trust fund as collateral for an emergency loan. organizers finally convinced the manager of a local bank to open up close to midnight on saturday to get them the funds .
i remember, somebody saying
fuck you !
to a salesman at the furniture store, cause the guy who said that, was sitting in a chair there, eating a snadwich. he then threw the rest of the sandwich into the guy' s face.
