How Hollywood CENSORED "BRIAN'S SONG" & BRIAN PICCOLO'S true illness so it could be broadcast on TV

I look into the 1971 MOVIE OF THE WEEK, "BRIAN'S SONG". What ABC had to do in order to please the network censors!

I was 17 when I first watched this heart-wrenching movie. Now I'm 71, and I still vividly remembered how I cried then.

It wouldn’t have done so well if it hadn’t been for the main cast. I’ve watched this several times and bawl every time. That speech the Billy Dee Williams gives gets me every time.

I just saw this movie last week. There is a Brian P county park nearby. A life and a potential career cut tragically short. RIP 🙏

This movie tore me up. The song gets me every time.
