God’s Angels Now Giving Lap Dances To Jim Mitchell

Famous for creating the Mitchell Brother(s) O’Farrell Theatre and then committing fratricide with a 22-caliber rifle, Jim Mitchell helped give San Francisco the sick reputation it still (sort of) maintains. Today he died at 63 in Sonoma County.

Years later -- after all of the sex, coke, and more boobies took their toll -- things moved downhill fast. In an apparent and failed intervention of sorts; Jim shot Artie to death, and then kicked in the VIP lounge at San Quentin State Prison up until his release in 1997.

You had a fascinatingly torrid life that seemed to end in peace, and we promise to rub one out in your honor tonight, Jim. Or better yet, take a loved one to your flagship theater to see a peepshow.

Also, we're sorry that Emilio Estevez had to play you in your biopic. Alas.
