Missing music producer found alive

Grammy-nominated Chris Julian discovered naked, washing clothes in creek

Updated: 3:07 a.m. ET Aug. 27, 2005

LOS ANGELES - The nearly weeklong search for a Grammy-nominated producer ended Friday after a resident spotted the man sitting naked in a backyard creek, washing his jeans.

The Topanga Canyon resident found a distraught Christian Julian Irwin saying he feared he was being pursued by Nigerians who had contacted him in an Internet scam, sheriff’s Capt. Ray Peavy said.

Authorities began looking for Irwin on Sunday after he made a panicked phone call to a friend, saying he was being pursued by people with dogs. He told his friend he was running through water and had lost his glasses and shoes in a creek.

/snip

The most bizarre element in the case is Irwin's recent involvement in a “Nigerian” Internet scam. The swindle involves e-mailed appeals for advance money to help move large sums out of Nigeria. Victims are told they’ll get a big chunk of the fortune in exchange for their help.

/snip

Irwin is “an independent record producer and engineer whose work has brought three Grammy Nominations, over 50 Gold and Platinum albums and an Emmy Award.” He has worked with David Bowie, Jimmy Webb, Vanessa Williams, David Crosby, Chaka Khan, Don Was, Art Garfunkel, Carly Simon, Queen Latifa, Isaac Hayes and Lisa Stansfield.

I have an idea for a "reverse" Nigerian money-moving scam...And it's all for a good cause - we are doing something for Africa. Yay!

..of course, that's been done already. :P

Picture yourself doing wash in a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
Nigerians with caleidoscope eyes....

"drugs", was my guess too. Sounds like he had too much meth/lsd binge. He's lucky he didn't wind up dead due to his own hallucinations. Druggies = Morons

Now I understand the Hollywood Left..Drug induced visions of Marxist paradise mixed with self hate and loathing of a country that would give them such wealth..topped off by neurotic FEAR of the great mass of American citizens who are..war mongers and shop owners unable to understand the deep insight LSD and mescal give the Entertainment elite.

And at the end they want to go out in a blaze of glory via inside bottle rockets set off by Johnny Depp(Dip)

I can understand that. I had a relative who started developing paranoia, and much later it came out she was using pot on a regular basis.

Your relative needs to find a dealer he can trust. Unless your relative's pot was laced with something (or he's smoking way more than most people do), there's no way in hell that pot will induce paranoia.

As soon as I finish brewing up this fantastic mix of chemicals I discovered and have it for breakfast, I am going to contact Mr. Al-najjar. Don't any of you try to contact him before I do or I'll tell the Nigerian dog-men! Remember, they contacted ME due to my HONESTY and TRANSPERENCY.

That memorable day Qusay and a senior aide to the former president Saddam Hussein delivered the instruction in person to the bank,s governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). And the money was removed without proper official documentations. The money was not debited. It was just remove from the foreign reserve vault. This illegal withdrawer created opportunity for our staffs working in the foreign payments department. We hastingly remove from the vault the sum of US$75.million, which we shared among
ourselves working in the department, five in number. My share was US$10 million, the deal which was absolutely successfully, I am now seeking your help to allow me prepare transfer document in your Name to enable me transferred the
funds the security company holding it into your account, for futher investment.

I have agreed to offer you 25% of the funds for your assistance 5% is reserved for expenses 70% will be kept for your account for me. Note this transaction is risk free since it is assumed; Saddam Hussein was responsible for removing the funds.

I have formalized every necessary arrangement with regards to this transaction and the services of a legal firm will be employed by me to see to the legal transfer of the fund to your nominated account.

What I needed now is your HONESTY and TRANSPERENCY Please I need conviction and assurance of TRUST from you. Of course, you can see the reasons for this, is that, it involves a huge sum of money and I have not deal with you in anyway
before.

If I am convinced and with your declaration of interest in this deal, then I will tell you the procedures to follow and with other vital information, Kindly contactme through the above email.

For the security of this transaction, I do hereby implore you to treat and maintain it with the absolute confidentiality and secrecy it requires to avoid exposing our intentions, there by jeopardizing this project.

Sounds like he is living the ultimate lifestyle that is promoted by the whacky environutto liberal fools. Communing with nature, washing his clothes in a stream, living off the land, the way we were all meant to. Ask any libonut.
