I'm currently working on a book about Winnnipeg's facsination with the flic as well as just about everything that lead up to Phantompalooza 1 and 2. For me, William Finley/'Winslow Leach' will always be top of the line. 'Winslow' put it all on the line for his work and William Finley made you believe it was his! He NEARLY ended up putting it all on the line during the record plant scene when (during rehearsal) the brace that was supposed to keep the two ends of the machine apart broke, nearly making fact and fiction come together in a NOT too pleasant way. Thankfully, Mr. Finley was spared when two audio techs literally dropped what they were doing and saved his life. THANKS, guys! In an ironic twist; two years after phantom... Paul williams would end up getting Swindled, FOR REAL, by Barbra Streisand, who continues, to this very day, to take credit for the lyrics to Evergreen. However, unlike Winslow or William, Mr. Williams has said not a peep in protest to the verbal plaigarism. What's the old saying..."Silence implies consent". Final score: Fictional songwriter (Winslow) 1 'Real' songwriter (Williams) 0 I’m from Winnipeg Canada (Phantom Central) where, for whatever reason, the movie clicked big time.
