Parsons attempted to rekindle his relationship with the band on their 1972 tour to no avail.

Allegedly, the relationship was far from stable, with Burrell cutting a needy and jealous figure while Parsons quashed her burgeoning film career.

Parsons and Burrell enjoyed the most idyllic time of their relationship, visiting old cohorts like Ian Dunlop and Family / Blind Faith / Traffic member Ric Grech in England.

The fire proved to be the last straw in the relationship between Burrell and Parsons, who moved into a spare room in Kaufman's house.

A meeting was arranged and the two instantly rekindled their relationship, with Fisher dividing her weeks between Los Angeles and San Francisco at Parsons ' expense.

Although their relationship with the Ringlings ended, the Parsons had become very wealthy from the concession wagon.

In the early 1980s, Gibson, faced with excess production capacity and, some claim, a difficult relationship with its labor union, closed its historic Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan and relocated much of its production to its factory in Nashville, Tennessee.

As she and the publishing mogul had developed an ironclad relationship, her Los Angeles Examiner column came to appear in over six hundred newspapers the world over, with a readership of more than twenty-million, and Parsons gradually became one of the most powerful voices in the movie business with her daily allotment of gossip.

Parsons attended school for about a year before leaving to become an apprentice at the Galveston Daily News, a relationship that Parsons characterized as being " indentured " for seven years in order to learn the printers ' trade.

Parsons commented at the time that he felt frustrated in having to accommodate the views of some of the musicians, which he felt interfered with his production.

The song " The Raven " featured lead vocals by the actor Leonard Whiting, and, according to the 2007 remastered album liner notes, was the first rock song to use a digital vocoder, with Alan Parsons speaking lyrics through it.

Although the vocalists varied, a small number of musicians worked with the Alan Parsons Project regularly.

Together with Parsons and Woolfson, the Project originally consisted of the group Pilot, with Ian Bairnson ( guitar ), David Paton ( bass ) and Stuart Tosh ( drums ).

Since 1994, a new version of the band has toured, with Parsons performing live acoustic guitar, keyboards and vocals, with various lineups.

This latest incarnation is called the Alan Parsons Live Project, the name distinct from " The Alan Parsons Project ", due to founder Parsons ' break-up with Woolfson.

The project was led by Dr Jeff Peakall and Dr Daniel Parsons at the University of Leeds in collaboration with the University of Southampton, Memorial University ( Newfoundland, Canada ), and the Institute of Marine Sciences ( Izmir, Turkey ).

If the corporate President is not the COO ( such as Richard Parsons of Time Warner from 1995 – 2001 ), then many division heads report directly to the CEO themselves, with the President taking on special assignments from the CEO.

Hollywood columnist Louella Parsons called it a " smash patriotic hit " and most other critics agreed, seeing that audiences left the theaters with " an enthusiasm for democracy " and " in a glow of patriotism.

Parsons moved to France, where he lived for a short period at Villa Nellcôte with his friend Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.

Since his death, Parsons has been recognized as an extremely influential artist, credited with helping to found both country rock and alt-country.

She was the daughter of citrus fruit magnate John A. Snively, who held extensive properties both in Winter Haven and in Waycross ; Parsons ' father was a famous World War II flying ace, decorated with the Air Medal, who was present at the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

Parsons had been acquainted with Hillman since the pair had met in a bank during 1967 and in February 1968 he passed an audition for the band, being initially recruited as a jazz pianist but soon switching to rhythm guitar and vocals.

Along the way, McGuinn's original album concept was jettisoned in favor of a fully fledged country project, which included Parsons ' songs such as " One Hundred Years from Now " and " Hickory Wind ", along with compositions by Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Merle Haggard, and others.

As a result, McGuinn ended up replacing three of Parsons ' lead vocals with his own singing on the finished album, a move that was still rankling Parsons as late as 1973, when he told Cameron Crowe in an interview that McGuinn " erased it and did the vocals himself and fucked it up.

While in England with The Byrds in the summer of 1968, Parsons left the band due to his concerns over a planned concert tour of South Africa, citing opposition to that country's apartheid policies.

During this period, Parsons became acquainted with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.

Prior to Parsons ' departure from The Byrds, he had accompanied the two Rolling Stones to Stonehenge ( along with McGuinn and Hillman ) in the English county of Wiltshire, where Richards had a house near the ancient site.

Immediately after leaving the band, Parsons stayed at Richards ' house and the pair developed a close friendship over the next few years, with Parsons reintroducing the guitarist to country music.

Parsons ' 11-room home, nicknamed " The Parsonage ", became a boarding house for a variety of artists and eccentrics, including journalist Nieson Himmel, physicist Robert Cornog, and author and future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Hubbard became involved with Parsons ' mistress Sara Northrup and they would later marry.

In 1946, Parsons and Hubbard ( whose works Fear and Typewriter in the Sky, among others, had actually appeared in Unknown ) participated in a work of ceremonial magic known as the Babalon Working.

Though he had never met him, Crowley had no love for Hubbard and considered him a con artist with plans to abscond with Parsons ' money and current girlfriend.

Parsons, Hubbard, and Cameron then proceeded to the next stage of the Babalon Working in which Cameron acted as Parsons ' magical sexual partner with whom he could sire a Moonchild.

In January 1946, Parsons, Sarah Northrup, and Hubbard began a boat dealing company named Allied Enterprises.

Parsons put in the sum of approximately $ 21, 000 of which Hubbard contributed $ 1, 200.

Just as Crowley had predicted, Hubbard eventually abandoned Parsons and their business plans, leaving for a port in Florida with the boat and with Sarah.

A Florida court later dissolved the poorly-contracted business, ordered repayment of debts to Parsons, and awarded ownership of the boat to Hubbard.

Parsons ' history with L. Ron Hubbard is further detailed in:

It stars Melvyn Douglas, Gene Hackman, Dorothy Stickney, Estelle Parsons, Elizabeth Hubbard, Lovelady Powell and Conrad Bain.

The Babalon Working was a series of magic ceremonies or rituals from January to March, 1946 by author, pioneer rocket-fuel scientist, and occultist Jack Parsons, along with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

His 1942 novel Rocket to the Morgue, in addition to being a classic locked room mystery, is also something of a roman à clef about the Southern California science fiction culture of the time, featuring thinly-veiled versions of personalities such as Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard and rocket scientist / occultist / fan Jack Parsons.

The area also housed, schooled and provided stomping grounds for numerous famous and infamous free thinkers, poets, artists and rapscallions such as General George Patton, Alexander Calder, Upton Sinclair, L. Ron Hubbard, Jack Parsons, Albert Einstein, Bobby Fischer and David Lee Roth.

This arrangement caused problems all around when Moore wrote a Cobweb story for Tomorrow Stories # 8, which touched on Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his connection to occultist John Whiteside Parsons.
