Mayor Rock...harvested!

Mayor Rock...harvested!
Man, I thought that old dude was harvested YEARS ago....
Bob Rock was a good man. I met him when I was a precinct committeeman. We had almost set a record in my precinct for registering people. I was at a meeting in Anderson where Bob was at. He came up to me and called me by name and remarked about the people we had registered and we talk for a few minutes.
Two years later and all of the people he had met and talk to, I met him at another meeting in Anderson and he came up to me and my wife and he remember our names and the town we were from and the people we had registered. What a memory he had and I thought he was a good governor.
Rest In Peace Bob. :'(

To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Edgar Allan Poe
(A dear old friend and I used to talk about such things -- actually he more humored me by mostly listening -- and when he died and I stood alone by his grave, I had the very distinct feeling, for a few seconds, that he was still there in spirit -- still listening.)

Tony Sheridan, :reap: HARVESTED :reap: @ 72
Tony Sheridan (born Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity, 21 May 1940 – 16 February 2013), was an English rock and roll singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was best known as an early collaborator of The Beatles, (though the record was labelled as being with "The Beat Brothers"), one of two non-Beatles (the other being Billy Preston) to receive label performance credit on a record with the group, and the only non-Beatle to appear as lead singer on a Beatles recording which charted as a single.

It's been reported that he tried to help him as the ground was collapsing, but couldn't. Interestingly enough, the sinkhole just swallowed the corner of the house where the bedroom was. It's also rare that a sinkhole develops that quickly. Most sinkholes develop over a longer time period. The house begins to make noises and cracks will appear which alerts the occupants in time for them to escape. This sinkhole just opened up almost instantly and swallowed him.

:rotfl: :yes:
A school participating in Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's controversial voucher program is apparently using a history book that teaches its eighth-grade students that "hippies" were dirty followers of Satan-worshipping rock musicians.
The textbook, "America: Land I Love," includes a section on the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
Here's a paragraph taken from that section, which was published Wednesday by AmericaBlog.com:
Many young people turned to drugs and immoral lifestyles; these youth became known as hippies. They went without bathing, wore dirty, ragged, unconventional clothing, and deliberately broke all codes of politeness or manners. Rock music played an important part in the hippie movement and had great influence over the hippies. Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship.

Not that I have anything against "hippies", but is there anything that is NOT correct in that statement? Most if not ALL of it is true....except for the Satan worship...I would say it is a pretty accurate description. He IS entitled to his opinion, true?

The difference is in this book it is portrayed as a bad thing and in other history books it is portrayed as a good thing. I guess the school boards get to pick which way they remembered it.

The problem is, it's not his opinion that he's expressing. That crap is in textbooks in schools funded by taxpayer money in Louisiana from Jindal's voucher program. I doubt that's even his opinion anyway.

Many young people turned to drugs and immoral lifestyles; these youth became known as hippies. Many people, not just hippies, have turned to drugs for many reasons. In my experience, the drugs of choice for the great majority of hippies was weed. And that's legal in many places now.
Immoral lifestyles? In whose opinion? What about those hard-drinkin', cheat on your wife, beat up a queer, "I was drunk the day my momma got out of jail" country music rednecks? Is that a moral lifestyle?
They went without bathing, wore dirty, ragged, unconventional clothing, and deliberately broke all codes of politeness or manners.
ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE :mad:
Rock music played an important part in the hippie movement and had great influence over the hippies. True. So what?
Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship.I get so tired of hearing that. Can anyone name a rock star that worshiped Satan?
So be offended. I wasn't aiming at anyone. Like I said, many of it IS true. It is NOT an ignorant description. Many DID go without bathing. Many DID use drugs. My brother was a hippie. I was probably only a year or two from becoming a hippie.
btw, I already mentioned the satan worship as being BS.
it is NOT an ignorant description....it IS a reasonable one. Many were....

MOST WEREN'T!!!
This is just the most blatant bullshit I have ever heard.
BTW, any chance your brother was not a hippie, but just a dirty bum? What really makes a hippie a hippie? It has nothing to do with appearances or drugs. It is a state of mind, one of peace, understanding and tolerance - something you conservative cranks have comprehension of.

You know Olias, you bring up a great point. It is no different than the media calling republicans racists. Or that republicans want old people to die. Or that we HATE poor people. IT IS Bullshit! So, with that line of thought, I agree. Calling all hippies as being dirty, drug using, out of the norm, citizens is very wrong...even though many were. I get tired of being called a racist, because I am a conservative that doesn't agree with this administration.

There was an article about this in THB this morning. I didn't reazlize there were 'degrees' of embalming. I have toured funeral homes and heard a couple short talks on embalming but don't remember that being talked about. And fyi unless you realllllly want to know how someone is embalmed, don't ask.

Argentinian politician Eva Peron was largely responsible for the women's suffrage law and formed the Peronista Feminist Party in 1949. Her embalmed body remained on display for two years until it was stolen and secretly buried in Italy for 16 years. Her remains are now in the Duarte family crypt in Recoleta cemetery.
Here's a link to a photo presentation of displayed leaders. (From which the above was gleaned).

If you were given your book of life where you could you read when you were going to die. How you would die with all of it facts leading up to it, like time and the conditions of your death.

Why don't you tell me of your experiences in black culture, with black society, or with even one black person which might show you have even the minutest understanding of blacks which you could use as proof of your supposedly non-existent racism.
Racism is far far more, and more institutionalized and ingrained in America, than running around in sheets and lynching blacks.
From what you've stated, you didn't grow up around anything but whites, went to a segregated school, in a state known for its racism. IIRC, your small church is white. I surmise your workplace has basically the minimum required blacks to keep the government off the owner's arse. I'd lay money that your socializing rarely if ever involves any blacks and has always been that way.
As I said, you don't have to wear a sheet and lynch to be a racist. Just because you say you aren't a racist doesn't mean you aren't, and just because you think you have political cover for your constant barrage of BS attacks on the 'black' man in your 'White' House doesn't mean you aren't a racist either.

"To understand recursion, you must understand recursion."
-- Hunter, David (2011). Essentials of Discrete Mathematics
As an interesting aside to this recursion comment, and to illustrate the truthfulness of the above statement, I'll tell a quick story.
I was once teaching freshman computer science students in their first programming class at a major university. I was explaining recursion, and the requirement of having a clearly defined exit condition in recursive functions in order to prevent infinite loops. I chose to use a Fibonacci sequence algorithm for my illustration.
A Fibonacci sequence is defined as:
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) where F(0)=0 and F(1)=1.
I then proceeded to write some pseudocode to illustrate the generation of the first 10 terms.
When I got to the end, an older woman who had chosen to go back to school raised her hand. When I called on her, she said, "Mr. Locutus, I don't have any idea what the hell you're talking about." :rotfl: :rotfl:
She dropped the class soon afterwards. ;D
Maybe you should have wrote an infinate amount of terms, then maybe she would have understood.
She also might still be sitting in that classroom staring at the whiteboard. :rotfl:

It's all about recursion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion
Section 4.3 of that article describes "functional recursion" and is exactly the example I used to demonstrate that to my class. It states:
"Functional recursion
A function may be partly defined in terms of itself. A familiar example is the Fibonacci number sequence: F(n) = F(n − 1) + F(n − 2). For such a definition to be useful, it must lead to non-recursively defined values, in this case F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1.
F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1 are terminating conditions (non-recursively defined values as the article states) and thus would prevent an infinite loop from occurring in a program. ;D That exactly describes what I was demonstrating to my class that day. :yes:

Nelson Mandela is the ONE human being on the face of this planet, that I would say the term "Harvested" does not apply to surrounding his death. Many African cultures refer to the end of one's life on this planet as transitioning; and I find the term very applicable to the event of Mandela's passing.
He was, in this life, a human being that sacrificed much of himself in order to bring a better quality of life to his fellow countrymen; of every color. He demonstrated what is best in humanity, while enduring the worst of humanity. And he did so with grace and humility, and always with what was best for humanity at the forefront.
Had he achieved success in this endeavor earlier in his life, and been spared 27 years of incarceration, who is to say how much more we, as a species, could have achieved with his guidance.

I'm about half joking...but I think this couldn't be GOOD. He is smooth, he may be able to talk his way out of this, but as of NOW, it looks pretty bad, imo.
Yeah it is. People do some stupid shit and it seems to get worse once they're in elected office.
I was kind of a "Christie" fan. I liked the way he was candid and forthright when he spoke. I liked his demeanor...I thought he was different than the average politician..........BUT......abusing his power and lying puts him in the same category as the rest of them... :yes:

I wonder if they even really care about how it feels to others? IMHO, picketing his funeral may be "just" but would do nothing but lower us to his level.

Well, shame on me. Bo is right. We need to take the high road and not perpetuate the hate and malice that man was infamous for spreading. The fact is when we hate we are doing the same thing and it is wrong; regardless of how deserving he may or may not have been of it. His fate rests in the arms of the universe now, and nothing we say or do will change it.
Thanks for reminding us all of that Bo, and for setting the correct example for everyone. :smile:
I agree with Bo D because there is hope that a big part of the hate and ignorance died with him.
Unfortunately, he wasn't picketing alone.

NOT care how it feels to others. :no:
You point about lowering to their level is well taken though my friend.

Interesting article in today's WAPO. Steven Petrow, former president of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association wrote very eloquently what I only stabbed at.
"Enough.
Yes, I understand what drives many to such extreme emotions (and I'd be lying if I didn't admit to a vein of it myself); after all, it's only human to want to fight back against hate.
Instead, what if those on the receiving end of Phelps's ideology did the opposite, which is to say, let him go quietly — and without protest — into that good night? Imagine the karma lesson that would be to all those who have supported Westboro Baptist.
Revenge against Phelps — or, frankly, any hateful or toxic person — doesn't really allow for healing. Joseph Burgo, a psychoanalyst and an author, told me this week: "For those of us who have felt hated and shamed by people like Phelps, the temptation is to turn tables and triumph over their demise. You might think of it as 'giving back' the hatred and shame that was inflicted upon us, but this reaction binds us to the other person as long as we continue to feel that way." He then added that we need to "break the hold of these destructive emotions and move on."
So, with Phelps's passing, I suggest we bombard Westboro Baptist with sympathy cards and prayers. Or, as a friend of mine tells me, "Drive your enemies really crazy: Love them." Okay, maybe not love, but at least not hate. Never hate."

Al Feldstein, who shaped and warped the sensibilities of America's youth for more than two decades as the editor of Mad magazine and who had a defining influence on modern humor, died April 29 at his ranch near Livingston, Mont. He was 88.
He made the magazine's gap-toothed mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, a universally recognized image and hired a stable of artists and writers who lampooned politics, religion, Hollywood, advertising and even the magazine itself. The magazine published this disclaimer: "We reject the insinuation that anything we print is moral, theological, nutritious or good for you in any way, shape or form."

Current reports say the child was 4 years old. 7 people sent to area hospitals and 2 of them lifelined.
The woman driving that Chrysler in the picture just stopped for no apparent reason, in the middle of the lane, and there was nothing the pickup driver directly behind her could have done.
The accident was witnessed by an off-duty State Trooper.
The 4 year old was the granddaughter of the woman driving the car, and the child's pregnant mother was also in the vehicle. . . :'(

Hell if I know. It is befuddling investigators as well, especially since a member of the ISP witnessed the whole thing. And all witnesses they've interviewed say the very same thing he does; "She just stopped dead for no apparent reason with a car full of passengers."
The speed limit in that stretch is 70 mph, so it's a safe bet that since the off duty state trooper was in his marked vehicle, that's exactly how fast they were going. Most times it is 75-80 mph, with the occasional 85 + vehicle snaking through traffic.
They cannot talk to the driver since she is still undergoing treatment for her injuries. . .
I read somewhere the four year old was not restrained in a car seat. Anyone hear how the baby is doning?

I loved the characters this guy played throughout his career. I do not recall ever seeing him in a movie I disliked or did not enjoy.

I hadn't thought about him in years. RIP Eli :'(
when I think of him, I think of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly and The Magnificent Seven....
Sounds like he lived a long full life. RIP
I thought this was interesting (I got it from wikipedia)
During the filming of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Wallach nearly died three times. Once, he accidentally drank a bottle of acid which was placed next to his soda bottle; another time was in a scene where he was about to be hanged, someone fired a pistol which caused the horse underneath him to bolt and run a mile with his hands still tied behind his back; in a different scene with him lying on a railroad track, he was close to being decapitated by steps jutting out from the train.

He was responsible for forcing me into several fits of laughter to the point of crying over the years. And I will admit to a couple of scenes forcing me to tears that were not humorous too. (To his credit).
I am often driven to wonder just how bad ones life can be to force one to choose a voluntary early exit. One would think that given the advances within our society and medicine, that we could prevent such things. . . But then again, we as a race cannot even agree on most things either. . .

Agreed Henry. Depression is a deadly condition that medicine doesn't fully understand. It can start with a simple sleepless night, followed by others, and from that it can snowball very quickly into what happened with Robin Williams and so many others before him.
For me, I have always enjoyed his work, and one of my favorites by him is "What Dreams May Come"; a movie that I shall forever more see in yet another perspective given the circumstances surrounding his death. Admittedly, a bit of a diversion from his typical work, but none-the-less a piece of work that is a bit further out there too. In fact, so far out there that I suspect it was a role / topic / subject that no one else could have carried off as convincingly as Williams did. Just the fact he was in the role brought credibility to everything else within it. Remove him and the film becomes rubbish; In my opinion.
I am actually going to see if I can find it on DVD somewhere, to watch this weekend. I suspect some of the emotions it first brought out in me when I saw it in the theaters, will be magnified given yesterdays event.
There are many more of his films that I will see in a different light moving forward. But to tell you the truth I have a theory around just why it is that we see so many "great" actors and comedians reach similar endings; however it is just that, a theory, and I have no concrete facts or data with which to support it.
The cliff notes version of it is this; these men/women immerse themselves into these roles, to a level few others are able to obtain. It is why they are so convincing and able to "convince" us that they are indeed in that situation/role on the big screen. And it is why they are so effective. They live it, they breathe it, they sleep it, and in the process they actually become the character(s) they portray. And therein lies the rub. . .
Many of them fail to ever completely "decompress" from these roles. The very things that make them so convincing are the things that drive them to the edge afterwards. They feel the sorrow, the emotional extremes, and afterwards cannot compartmentalize it; resulting in emotional baggage that they carry around just as if the events and emotions they portrayed had actually happened to them.
An occupational hazard that few, if any recognize; and most certainly the industry itself. There are no courses designed to help these people learn to compartmentalize these extremes of emotion, and so they are left to deal with it as best they can. For many substance abuse is the approach, and it is quickly followed by depression, and the steep slide downward toward death.
My 2 cents, but somebody should look into it. . .

There is more than a little irony in the storyline and role he plays in What Dreams May Come.
It deals with death, depression, and suicide. . . It is a surreal look at the subjects, and one that takes a very non-traditional view of them. So be prepared for that. In fact, when you first sit down to watch it, you'll be a way into the story before you realize what it is about. The way the scenes are shot, the sets, and perspectives are very surreal. . . and "large". And it can be a bit of an emotional film to view as well. Williams is brilliant in it, in my opinion.

What is so strange is that the movie PH listed, The World According to Garp and Dead Poet's Society all had death and suicide in them. What I hate even more is that the media somehow will glamorize suicide and depression and they shouldn't. Maybe they won't but instead advise people to get help!
I'm going to have to go watch The World According to Garp again. I remember liking the movie but I haven't seen it in years.

Jan Hooks of SNL fame :reap: HARVESTED :reap: at 57.
I haven't been able to find a cause of death, but recent pictures of her don't paint her in a very good light. She looked more like a woman of 75 or 80 instead of someone only 57.
I would have thought by now, someone here would have posted this. Guess not, so. . .
Jack Bruce :reap: :reap: HARVESTED :reap: :reap: @ 71.
I find it really frustrating to see "tweets and public posts" about his passing, emanating from those with whom he had a tumultuous relationship with in life itself. Take for example Ginger Baker.
He (or his mouthpiece) posted commentary extending condolences to the friends and family of the late Mr. Bruce, and calling him a "great musician" and saying it is a terrible loss. Seriously Ginger?
In life, (and Cream) , Baker and Bruce were legendary opponents with numerous incidents of their conflict coming to blows. Clapton even related the fact that the situation between the two of them made the band unsustainable and his forced position within the band as one of the peace-maker. (Beware Mr. Baker).
In Beware Mr. Baker, Ginger took his cane to the face of the man doing the documentary, when he was told that Jack Bruce was going to be interviewed for the documentary about him, saying, "I don't want that fucker in my film!"; bloodying the face of the film-maker.
Seriously. When someone crosses over is NOT the time to speak falsehoods about them or your relationship with them in life. Man up and speak the truth, and if your relationship with the deceased is one of hate and conflict, then shut the fuck up and let others bring comfort to the bereaved family that actually means something to them. :mad:
I hope Jack Bruce haunts Ginger Baker for each and every second Baker remains above ground. :ghost:
He may be one fine percussionist but his personality makes him an asshat!

A Message to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney From a Dying Veteran
I write this letter on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War on behalf of my fellow Iraq War veterans. I write this letter on behalf of the 4,488 soldiers and Marines who died in Iraq. I write this letter on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been wounded and on behalf of those whose wounds, physical and psychological, have destroyed their lives. I am one of those gravely wounded. I was paralyzed in an insurgent ambush in 2004 in Sadr City. My life is coming to an end. I am living under hospice care.
I write this letter on behalf of husbands and wives who have lost spouses, on behalf of children who have lost a parent, on behalf of the fathers and mothers who have lost sons and daughters and on behalf of those who care for the many thousands of my fellow veterans who have brain injuries. I write this letter on behalf of those veterans whose trauma and self-revulsion for what they have witnessed, endured and done in Iraq have led to suicide and on behalf of the active-duty soldiers and Marines who commit, on average, a suicide a day. I write this letter on behalf of the some 1 million Iraqi dead and on behalf of the countless Iraqi wounded. I write this letter on behalf of us all—the human detritus your war has left behind, those who will spend their lives in unending pain and grief.
You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.
I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.
Your positions of authority, your millions of dollars of personal wealth, your public relations consultants, your privilege and your power cannot mask the hollowness of your character. You sent us to fight and die in Iraq after you, Mr. Cheney, dodged the draft in Vietnam, and you, Mr. Bush, went AWOL from your National Guard unit. Your cowardice and selfishness were established decades ago. You were not willing to risk yourselves for our nation but you sent hundreds of thousands of young men and women to be sacrificed in a senseless war with no more thought than it takes to put out the garbage.
I joined the Army two days after the 9/11 attacks. I joined the Army because our country had been attacked. I wanted to strike back at those who had killed some 3,000 of my fellow citizens. I did not join the Army to go to Iraq, a country that had no part in the September 2001 attacks and did not pose a threat to its neighbors, much less to the United States. I did not join the Army to "liberate" Iraqis or to shut down mythical weapons-of-mass-destruction facilities or to implant what you cynically called "democracy" in Baghdad and the Middle East. I did not join the Army to rebuild Iraq, which at the time you told us could be paid for by Iraq's oil revenues. Instead, this war has cost the United States over $3 trillion. I especially did not join the Army to carry out pre-emptive war. Pre-emptive war is illegal under international law. And as a soldier in Iraq I was, I now know, abetting your idiocy and your crimes. The Iraq War is the largest strategic blunder in U.S. history. It obliterated the balance of power in the Middle East. It installed a corrupt and brutal pro-Iranian government in Baghdad, one cemented in power through the use of torture, death squads and terror. And it has left Iran as the dominant force in the region. On every level—moral, strategic, military and economic—Iraq was a failure. And it was you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, who started this war. It is you who should pay the consequences.
To read Chris Hedges' recent interview with Tomas Young, click here.
I would not be writing this letter if I had been wounded fighting in Afghanistan against those forces that carried out the attacks of 9/11. Had I been wounded there I would still be miserable because of my physical deterioration and imminent death, but I would at least have the comfort of knowing that my injuries were a consequence of my own decision to defend the country I love. I would not have to lie in my bed, my body filled with painkillers, my life ebbing away, and deal with the fact that hundreds of thousands of human beings, including children, including myself, were sacrificed by you for little more than the greed of oil companies, for your alliance with the oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia, and your insane visions of empire.
I have, like many other disabled veterans, suffered from the inadequate and often inept care provided by the Veterans Administration. I have, like many other disabled veterans, come to realize that our mental and physical wounds are of no interest to you, perhaps of no interest to any politician. We were used. We were betrayed. And we have been abandoned. You, Mr. Bush, make much pretense of being a Christian. But isn't lying a sin? Isn't murder a sin? Aren't theft and selfish ambition sins? I am not a Christian. But I believe in the Christian ideal. I believe that what you do to the least of your brothers you finally do to yourself, to your own soul.
My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who deserved to live. I hope that before your time on earth ends, as mine is now ending, you will find the strength of character to stand before the American public and the world, and in particular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.
Tomas Young 11/30/79 - 11/10/14
So sad for him. :'(
Yes, it is a sad thing and there are people who thinks that George W. Bush will go down in history as one of the best presidents America has ever had. :puke: And there are several here on the Zone. :rant: Dick Cheney is just a evil son-of-bitch who is now living with someone's heart which he is now turning to coal. :angry: :rant:

Bobby Keys, who played saxophone with the Rolling Stones among others, has died aged 70.
The Washington Post features some very interesting obituaries. Here's Bobby Keys' :
Bobby Keys, longtime saxophonist with the Rolling Stones, dies at 70
By Matt Schudel December 2 at 7:47 PM
Bobby Keys, a Texas-born saxophonist who spent decades performing as a sideman with the Rolling Stones, supplying high-energy solos to "Brown Sugar" and other hits, but whose undisciplined behavior became too outrageous even for the fast-living rockers, died Dec. 2 at his home in Franklin, Tenn. He was 70.
The Rolling Stones confirmed his death in a statement. The cause was cirrhosis of the liver, according to the Nashville Scene newspaper.
A self-taught musician who never learned to read music, Mr. Keys brought a full-bodied, open-throttle sound to everything he played. He first worked with the Stones in 1969, during the recording of the "Let It Bleed" album, and was immediately drawn to the raw spirit of the band's music. He became a frequent musical partner in the Stones' recordings and concerts for more than 40 years.
His powerful tenor-sax solo on the 1971 hit "Brown Sugar," which Mr. Keys recorded in a single take, became an indelible part of the Stones' musical legacy. He made major contributions to dozens of other tunes, including "Honky Tonk Women" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and appeared on many of the band's most celebrated albums, such as "Sticky Fingers" (1971), "Exile on Main Street" (1972) and "Some Girls" (1978).
Mr. Keys had the same birthday as Keith Richards, the Stones' guitarist and founding member, and the two shared an interest in other activities besides music. In his 2010 autobiography, "Life," Richards called Mr. Keys "my closest pal. A soul of rock 'n' roll, a solid man, also a depraved maniac."
Besides his hard-hitting saxophone performances, Mr. Keys became known for his unabashed indulgence in the rock-and-roll life. In 2010, he recalled to the Observer newspaper in Britain the scene in France while the Stones were making "Exile on Main Street."
"Hell, yeah, there was some pot around," he said, "there was some whiskey bottles around, there was scantily clad women. Hell, it was rock-and-roll!"
Mr. Keys and Richards were infamously captured on film in 1972 when they threw a television out of a hotel window. But Mr. Keys's heavy drinking and addiction to heroin made him undependable on stage, and he missed rehearsals and other engagements. The final straw reputedly came when Richards found him lounging with a woman in a bathtub filled with champagne when he should have been ready to play. He was dismissed from the Rolling Stones in 1973.
He made occasional appearances with the band, but it wasn't until the 1980s, when Richards sneaked Mr. Keys into a rehearsal, that the reunion was complete. While the band ran through "Brown Sugar," an unseen Mr. Keys wailed his barn-burning solo. According to Richards, Mick Jagger's jaw dropped as he turned and said, "What the . . . ?"
From that point on, Mr. Keys was back with the Stones.
Robert Henry Keys was born in Slaton, Tex., on Dec. 18, 1943 — the same day and year as Richards. He was raised largely by his grandparents.
He often visited an aunt who lived in Lubbock, Tex., near the home of the rock guitarist and singer Buddy Holly. Mr. Keys recalled hearing Holly and his band, the Crickets, playing for the opening of a gas station.
"That did it for me," he told Texas Monthly in 2012. "Rock and roll was calling, and I said, 'Here I am.' "
Inspired by King Curtis, the saxophonist on the Coasters's hit "Yakety Yak," Mr. Keys taught himself to play the saxophone and was working professionally by age 15.
" 'Cause I can't read music," Mr. Keys told Rolling Stone, "I have no idea what's gonna come out of that horn half the time. . . . I come strictly from feeling, and that feeling comes from rock-and-roll."
In the early 1960s, Mr. Keys toured with singer Bobby Vee. Over the years, he recorded with B.B. King, Joe Cocker, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who, Eric Clapton and all four members of the Beatles after their breakup.
Mr. Keys reportedly was married at least five times and had two children. A complete list of survivors could not be confirmed.
After serving as the music director in the late 1980s at a nightclub in Miami Beach, Fla., owned by Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood, Mr. Keys settled outside Nashville. He published a memoir, "Every Night's a Saturday Night," in 2012 and continued to perform with the Stones and other groups until this year.
Mr. Keys admitted that he was "a devout pothead" who had been smoking marijuana since his teens.
"I never let a day go by," he once told Rolling Stone magazine, "unless I'm in jail."

One of my favorites. How sad!
My guess is Mr. Cocker and Mr. Bruce are currently discussing Mr. Baker's behaviors. . . :icon_twisted:
Sad to hear of Joe Cocker's crossing over, but I dare say that "Woodstock" is taking shape in whatever comes after this life. . .
Cocker's Woodstock performance was the first to confuse the hell out of me; I was unsure whether he had a physical ailment that caused his contortions, or if he was just wired differently. . . Took me a while to figure out it was the latter of the two.
I saw him well before my young ears and mind became attuned to the blues, and once they did he was an artist I revisited with a whole lot more enthusiasm for his work.
We keep losing these men and women responsible for the soundtracks of our lives. I can only hope they precede us in order to compose the soundtracks for what comes next. . .
Music affects me in strange ways sometimes. No pattern. I have cable TV and they offer a large selection of music of all kinds, by category. On Sunday morning I was reading the paper and getting ready to watch the news, but could not stand the thought of more of the same, over and over, so went to the music section. Intended to listen to something calming, like light classical or Christmas music, but kept moving until I heard a voice that gave me goose bumps. And then, as I listened, I had the urge to get up and move -- and that is totally not like me. But "dance" I did, all kinds of movements, no thought, just moving, until the music stopped, and so did I. What was I listening to? The Fabulous Thunderbirds, High Water. (Good thing I was alone.) :laugh:

;D I had to laugh, because that is exactly how I was the first few times I saw him. I used to love to watch John Belushi tribute him...HE had him down, spot on.
a little fyi,
His real name was John Robert Cocker. Cocker was not a stage name. Joe was the stage name, and he was named Joe off a childhood game he played when he was growing up called Cowboy Joe, and he was proficient at the game, so he got the name Joe, and his name was already Cocker. His first stage name was Vance Arnold, and his band was Vance Arnold and the Avengers. But the name Vance Arnold was a combination of Vince Everett -- that was Elvis Presley's character in Jailhouse Rock. And Cocker thought it was Vance, not Vince, so that's where the Vance comes from. And he loved Eddy Arnold, country singer Eddy Arnold, so he combined Vance and Arnold to get his stage name.

Never ceases to amaze me too.
In the suburban Chicago town I grew up in, the commuter trains were and are THE way to get to your downtown destinations. Tens of thousands of people ride them each and every day to and from work. And every year a number of those riders are struck and killed by the very trains they have ridden for years.
One ironically popular stop is located right across the road from a Trauma Center. Not one of these people hit at that location have survived in the decades they've been getting hit at that stop. Not one. . .

Whitney Houston's daughter was found unresponsive in a tub just days shy of the anniversary of her mother's death. Current condition is unknown according to the media.
Condition update:
(CNN)Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was "still alive and breathing" in a hospital Saturday afternoon after being found face down in a bathtub full of water in Roswell, Georgia, police in the Atlanta suburb said.
Brown, 21, "was not breathing" when a man identified as her husband and a friend found her at about 10:25 a.m. at a townhouse in a Roswell subdivision, police spokeswoman Lisa Holland said. They called 911 and performed CPR until public safety officers arrived and took over, she said.
Brown was taken to North Fulton Hospital, where "she is still alive and breathing. Other than that, I don't know her condition," Holland said Saturday afternoon at a press briefing. It was unclear whether Brown was breathing on her own or with a respirator.
News is still reporting that she is in a coma.

They are praying for her recovery but have also started to discuss how they would handle funeral arrangements.http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bobbi-kristina-browns-family-reportedly-told-to-prepare-for-the-worst/

I know. But I'm an emotional person and shed a tear or two when I heard he'd died; it brought back memories of when he as Spock died. I cried like a baby when they sent him out into space to the bagpipe version of
Amazing Grace.

Yes, Spock was good. But it wouldn't have been nearly as good without Bones, Scotty, Chekov, Uhura, Sulu or Kirk. The whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

I am sure he and Lucille will always be remembered!! I was going to go to B.B. Kings in Memphis last summer but didn't get a chance.
BB's passing drove Eric Clapton to crack open the door to his private life this morning and post a short personal statement from his own laptop. No musical tribute (yet) but instead an absurdly rare personal expression. And one in which you can see his struggle with the emotion.
I'd seen and met BB on several occasions and even have numerous signed artifacts which are now certainly going to be mounted and displayed.
My favorite BB story - I have a few - doesn't even involve meeting him, but has to do with his influence on me picking up lead guitar and my love for the blues.
When I was living in FL back in the late 60's and early 70's, I was working in a warehouse chopping the shells off of coconuts. We always had a radio on to pass the time while we worked, and BB's 'The Thrill is Gone' came on the radio. This was back when the song was first released. I was utterly mesmerized. I stopped what I was doing, and walked over to the radio and just stood there with my mouth agape. I'd never heard ANYTHING like that before in my life, and though I already played folk guitar, I couldn't believe what he was doing and the sound he was getting from his guitar. I listened until the song was over and then went back to shelling them ole' coconuts, but after hearing that I bought a cheap knock off of BB's Gibson guitar and an amp and I was on my way to being a bluezoholic!
I owe a lot to BB! Have a good one playing in the Great Beyond Band, B!

Yes, but ... his mind was obviously almost always on things that ordinary people do not even pretend to understand. Consider this, from his long obituary in today's Washington Post, which included his lapse into schizophrenia:
"His mental illness came on when he was about 30, during what might have been one of the richest periods of his career. Dr. Nash was working at the time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was studying quantum theory." :dizzy2:
and, without comment from me I will add this:
"I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will go "down the drain" into a blind ally from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that."

He was such a good actor, especially as Dr. Zhivago in the movie by the same name. If you haven't seen the movie, it's worth watching. The PBS version has no commercial breaks, just an intermission about half way through.

Just finished the first one and the closing solo was awfully surreal for me to see and hear; and more than a little unexpected. . . And then there is the irony in seeing/hearing him play such a religious tune for the first time, and so close following his crossing over. . . And the picture itself has an "otherworldly feel" feel to it. . . Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and gave me goose bumps. . .
I can easily imagine Mr. Squire playing that exact tune along with Mr. Hendrix on day one in wherever it is that we go after this. . . :spooked:
He seemed a little stiff at the onset of the session, but quickly seemed to warm to the task and began genuinely enjoying things. Amazing to see him showing how he plays specific tunes, and his methods etc. Almost as if he were giving personal instruction to the viewer.

I have seen him play "Amazing Grace" several times in a live setting. You wouldn't believe how ethereal it sounds in an arena!
I think he was really a bit shy and takes a while to warm up. In the second video (where he provides a running commentary on his solo album) you can also see what a warm and delightful person he was if you watch and listen closely.

I never had the opportunity to see that myself, despite seeing Yes a number of times, (a very large number of times), within the first half of their lifespan. Once Anderson left them I saw them only once after that. . . But I have almost all of their recordings. . . as Yes.

I think that over the years, I saw every single different lineup of Yes. Even when they
weren't Yes (e.g. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe)
A couple of years ago, I even saw Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman in an intimate little concert at GWU in D.C. Just the two of them. It was delightful!!!

I am envious! :yes:
Yes went through the "pop" phase like a lot of bands did; chasing the money. I only saw one live show during that phase, but then I was an early adopter when it came to their music, and when Anderson left the lineup it never was the same for me. I still bought their music because of Howe and Squire, and sometimes Wakeman, but never felt as connected enough to the newer work to spend money and time on their live shows at that time.
I attended a show during the arena series of super-lineups period, that had Yes within it. They shared the bill with Frampton, Skynyrd, and Gary Wright at Hawthorne Park horse racing track that summer. Anderson was still with them and I was in a state of rapture during that show. (It was the first time any of my circle of friends had seen them, so they were clueless except for the fact that this was the band that played a lot of the music that came blasting from my car stereo system). :biggrin:

Okay, here's a shot by Lynne Priest that presents my view of the August 1976 show at Hawthorne Park in Cicero, Illinois.
I say it is an actual representation of my view because I am in the picture. :big grin:

I have some pictures that I took at a concert in 1975 of Yes on stage! I actually took a 35mm SLR with a tripod in to the concert! Try that these days!
Here's a picture of me in 1972. We were doing a sound check in a club in Savannah GA. We were playing Chicago's "Question 67 and 68" when this guy pulled a stool out in front of the stage and started drawing. By the time we finished the song, he had finished and walked up to me and handed it to me. He never said a word ... just gave it to me and walked away.

It appears that Valerie Harper may be close........she was taken away by ambulance during a performance she was in.....they report is, NOT GOOD.

I just read where Darryl Dawkins, NBA great has been HARVESTED at the age of 58 of an apparent heart attack.
One of my favorite writers, Oliver Sacks, practicing physician and author of 10 books, died yesterday. Born in London on July 9, 1933, he came to the United States in 1960. He was Professor of Neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. One of his books, Awakenings, was made into a movie by the same name, starring Robin Williams.
I discovered him while browsing in Barnes & Noble years ago -- the title of his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat caught my eye, so I bought it. Read it all the way through without stopping. Some time after that, I took a college writing course and the final assignment was to choose a topic from several authors. One was Sacks, and the book I had was one of the choices. I wrote about Tourette's Syndrome, and my teacher wrote me a note saying that paper got me an A for the course.
But back to Dr. Sacks. I am currently reading his book, Musicophilia, A Bolt from the Blue: Sudden Musicophilia, and would like to quote something that intrigues me:
"Tony Cicoria was forty-two, very fit and robust, a former college football player who had become a well regarded orthopedic surgeon in a small city in upstate New York. He was at a lakeside pavilion for a family gathering one fall afternoon. It was pleasant and breezy, but he noticed a few storm clouds in the distance; it looked like rain.
He want to a pay phone outside the pavilion to make a quick call to his mother (this was in 1994, before the age of cell phones). He still remembers every single second of what happened next: "I was talking to my mother on the phone. There was a little bit of rain and thunder in the distance. My mother hung up. The phone was a foot away from where I was standing when I got struck. I remember a flash of light coming out of the phone. It hit me in the face. Next thing I remember, I was flying backwards."
Then--he seemed to hesitate before telling me this--"I was flying forwards. Bewildered, I looked around. I saw my own body on the ground. I said to myself, 'Oh shit, I'm dead.' I saw people converging on the body. I saw a woman -- she had been standing, waiting to use the phone -- right behind me, position herself above my body, give it CPR....I floated up the stairs, my consciousness came with me. I saw my kids, had the realization that they would be okay. Then I was surrounded by a bluish-white light ... an enormous feeling of well-being and peace. The highest and lowest points of my life raced by me. No emotion associated with these ... pure thought, pure ecstasy. I had the perception of accelerating, being drawn up ... there was speed and direction. Then, as I was saying to myself, "this is the most glorious feeling I have ever had' -- SLAM! I was back."
After two or three weeks he was almost back to normal, back at work, a little forgetful but surgical skills unimpaired, and "he thought it was the end of the matter," something happened. Suddenly there was this insatiable desire to listen to piano music. And that was only the beginning of a non-musician's trip into the world of classical music, as if a door had opened and .... that's as far as I have read.

Moses was a beast and one of my all-time faves. He wasn't a flashy player but a player who packed his lunch everyday and basically just outworked his opponents. He was a pleasure to watch and a heck of a player. They do not make them like Moses anymore.

Is this what you were thinking of? "I tell the kids, somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose. Just don't fight about it. Just try to get better." One of my favorites is this: "Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets."

After further review, and to his credit as well as his band-mates, he apparently had been not feeling well and he finally went to the doctor to see what it was. I heard on NPR this afternoon, that he had been sick for awhile, since shortly after the completion of their latest, and last recording earlier this year. He and they knew he was dying, and apparently so did a very close circle of friends. The bar / restaurant that he frequented had a particular video game he enjoyed playing immensely, and so they moved the game to his home as he became worse. He died sitting in front of it.
From that I took that they knew he was sick for awhile but no one let the secret out. (I deeply admire them for that, his friends and band-mates, as well as Lemmy himself kept it quiet until he expired. No small task for a rock icon.)
No I have not heard that specifically, but assume this from what NPR / BBC said this afternoon.
And also to the credit of his band-mates, they came right out this morning, announcing the cancellation of their upcoming tour, full refunds for all tickets, and, most importantly, the absolute end of Motorhead. Forever.
They will share the name and the bands catalog of music as it stands this day; never to be added to again.
A lot of people crap on Led Zeppelin for doing the same when Bonzo died, but their reasoning back then is the exact same as that of Motorhead this day. There is no moving forward without him as it would not be the same. I applaud them for such a gut wrenching and honorable decision, and deeply respect it.

Now it appears that the NPR report was not entirely accurate, but the initial timeline was.
He had been in decline but was still playing . After his birthday he was so wiped he could not do a sound check and his band mates suspected he may have had a stroke so he went to the doctor. Doc ordered an MRI which showed cancer all over his brain and neck areas, and gave him a 2-6 month prognosis.
The bar moved his favorite game do his house that day, and he died the next while sitting in front of it.

I will elaborate a bit. . .
As a young lad first learning to torture my fingers on the guitar, I was introduced to the Eagles by two of my friends who were also trying to learn musical instruments. We hacked away so many evenings in one of my friends basements, trying to learn several of their songs.
With time a patience, we eventually got fairly good at it, found a drummer that was like-minded, and before we knew it we had a nice bevy of girls coming to our practices; and eventually landed a string of paying gigs in the process.
It wasn't anything big, but it was a whole hell of a lot of fun. And the 6 of us did a pretty fair job of mimicking the harmonies of those Eagles tunes. . . And I was a lifelong fan after that. . .
I saw them perform live a number of times, the last time being in 2007-2008?? (I've got a shirt with the date on it somewhere around here) when they came to Indianapolis. Each one of those shows was memorable for me; especially the last one as thoughts of their aging crept into my mind post-performance. . .
Frey will be missed, and while he was not the golden voice of the group, he was an integral part of everything they achieved along the way. And a founding member.
He will be dearly missed by this fan. . . And I'll think of him each time I play one of their songs to myself. . . :'(

Heard Frey had battled rheumatoid arthritis for a while.
He passed due to complications from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia; which he had been battling since surgery in November. . . The last in that list is the old standby of the reaper. . .
And I am touched to read this, very high praise indeed, statement surrounding Glenn Frey's passing from non-other than Don Henley himself in Rolling Stone:
Quote
Glenn Frey's Eagles bandmate Don Henley has written a touching tribute to his friend, following the news of the guitarist's passing. "Glenn was the one who started it all," he wrote. "He was the spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and a work ethic that wouldn't quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial, generous, deeply talented and driven."
Frey died Monday due to "complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia," according to a statement from the Eagles. Henley wrote that the band members are still processing the death. "We are all in a state of shock, disbelief and profound sorrow," he wrote. "We brought our two-year History of the Eagles Tour to a triumphant close at the end of July and now he is gone.
"I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet," he continued. "It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life."
Elsewhere in the statement, Henley marveled at how he, Frey and the other Eagles kept going over the years. "He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction," the drummer and vocalist wrote. "But the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved. We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream: to make our mark in the music industry – and with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed."
Henley also noted that Frey "loved his wife and kids more than anything" and signed off by addressing the guitarist and singer. "Rest in peace, my brother," Henley wrote. "You did what you set out to do, and then some."

I was very fortunate to not only see them live several times, but to share the last time I saw them with my son and his future wife. He was recently returned from deployment at the time, and sharing that event with him, even being able to share that event with him, made it all the more special to me. . .

I've always liked the songs that carried a hispanic flavor to them; something I attributed to Frey since he usually sang them. It's Your World Now is among them, and a song I loved from the fist time I played the track on the Long Road Out Of Eden CD. (That was the tour within which I last saw the Eagles live).
Interestingly enough, Guitar Player Magazine carried a short article from Don Felder today, in which Felder graciously acknowledges Frey's role in the band, his own career, and his regret over never having mended the fences that stood between the two of them and resulted in his ouster. I was somewhat taken aback by the genuine admiration and regret he expressed in his statement, but I likely shouldn't have been. Felder has always been a man that wears his heart on his sleeve, and I admire him for it. . . But their "disagreements" ran deep and were vicious; nearly coming to blows on stage and back stage at times. . .
I hope the other band members choose to move on with their careers; even though most of them are well into their golden years. (I hate that term). Collectively they are each responsible for some classic works; together and separately. An event like this can drive a major recalibration moment for them though, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them choose to go back to the barn and stay there. . . (Big loss to music fans in itself if that happens).
I personally cut my chops on some of their music as a young lad, but quickly moved on toward heavier fare. But at this stage in my life, I find my musical tastes as diverse as it has ever been, and admit to a heavy presence of Eagles works on my iPod and within my iTunes collection. (And CD collection as well).
One of things I very much look forward to when I cross over, is coming back and seeing the looks on the faces of my children and grandchildren, as they rifle through the hundreds of CD's in my personal collection and run across everything from CSNY, Black Sabbath, Lightening Hopkins, Junior Wells and No Doubt, to Zappa and Zeppelin; with many of the artists entire volumes being present. I bet the looks on the face of my son alone will be a source of eternal laughter to my eternal entity. :big grin:
Shit! :spooked: I hope I don't ever have to move again. The boxes of CD's, vinyl , and books make my back hurt just thinking about it! :spooked:

Ol' 55 (Written by Tom Waits)
Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' fifty-five.
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.
And now the sun's comin' up,
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks.
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin',
I had to be on my way.
Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me,
I'm headed home from your place.
And now the sun's comin' up,
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks.
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.
Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' fifty-five.
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.
And now the sun's comin' up, yes it is,
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,

Actually, to be honest, I like all the Eagle's hits. I don't honestly believe they had a bad song out there. If they do, I don't know it.
Take it on the Run was not an Eagles hit. :no:

You are not alone. Those vicious rumors that ran about via social networks several years ago were rampant; and apparently more effective than even Abe himself realized.
I recall at least two incidents wherein Abe himself appeared on network evening news programs proclaiming reports of his death were quite false. And yet, millions continued to believe him dead. . . :spooked:

This is the proverbial "Cover of the Rolling Stone" from 1989 sometime.
If you read the list of feature stories you will note that every single individual interviewed or featured in this edition of the magazine has been :reap: HARVESTED :reap: between then and now. Not a single living person is on the cover. Not one, 27 years later. . . :spooked: (Excluding the tip-top banner featuring Dylan and Roger Waters)
It is astounding if you stop to think about it, and a reoccurring situation as each of us creep ever closer toward our own finish lines.
One of the reasons so many of us seem to become obsessed with death as we age I suspect. It keeps jumping in front of us subconsciously even though we may not acknowledge it lucidly.

A guy that works for me within a contingency role is a bluegrass musician. He knows them well and has played many shows with them. I am sure he is devastated.
And to show you what a small world we live in, his sister in law has been my wife's hairdresser for 20 years; which is how I met him in the first place many years ago.
Alec is a small town, so I am sure there is a very large percentage of that town's population in mourning over this one.

The story I read, not sure on that site or another said that of course she had been in Hospice for some time. The past few days she had been sleeping more and her husband and 2 year old daughter, Indiana had been spending a lot of time with her. Indiana is a special little girl as it is.

She had given up on treatment in October, and was at a home in Alexandria, IN with hospice care visits daily. . .
She had been mostly comatose since early this week. . .
A good woman, a wife, a mother with young kids and god was going to let her die in pain. :rant: Only Hospice gave her relief until she passed. :yes: :'(
I told Hospice to put him into a peaceful sleep, because I could see death in his eyes. Once you see death in those eyes, you will know that the time is here. I tried to help you dad, I hope it worked. :smitten:

That's the young woman I wrote about here about a month ago after hearing her sing on the Gaithers -- the entire hour was hers -- she had a beautiful voice. :(
My wife and I have followed them since we heard she was sick and became fans of them.
Very sad....but very inspirational of their faith and courage.
That song will jerk your heart right out of your chest.
I actually thought she sang better than her husband but maybe it was just me on that. Her songs were always sang with such passion and emotion.

Me, too... something about the timbre of her voice .... I also heard about her passing on the news this morning -- I think CBS -- as I was scrolling through. She was described as a young country music singer. I imagine the Gaithers will feature the recording again tonight (they come on at 7 PM EST here. That must have been what I saw/heard. Since I knew nothing about her, I assumed it was live.
Jeezus Peezus guys and gals!
I don't know why it is that even people I consider sane are so quick to mythologize some people when they pass.
1. Just like most 'entertainers', neither Joey nor Rory wrote that song: Sandy Lawrence wrote the poignant tune as a way of dealing with her own emotions as she was caring for her dying mother. It was a song chosen to put on record because they thought it would sell. Songs are commodities in the business and to those business 'entertainers'.
2. The music business in general is just that - a business. Most choices and decisions are monetary based - not creative or emotional. So why mythologize something - or someone - that is all about the money? The songs are deliberately written to manipulate peoples emotions because that equates to sales - money.
3. This whole affair was played out in the social media etc. because it sells. And from the looks of things in the media and here, it still continues to work in this day and age even on intelligent people.

She's from around here, and I knew of her and musicians who worked with her. Same with the Gaithers she was tied in to.

She definitely did that and their love was never wavering, it endured her prescription drug use long before he was in any political offices, his being shot in an assassination attempt, her breast cancer and then his long journey into Alzheimer's. Not many couples would have lasted those kinds of trials. She remained a very private person.
Remember when at the end of his funeral she leaned over the casket and touched the flag covering it. You could tell she was telling him a final goodbye. It was so personal and touching.

My uncle had a intestine rupture come out of the blue. He had no idea of it at all. He went into the hospital and they open him up and patched the tear. When he woke up his doctor said he had no problem fixing it, but if an infection set in and got into his blood stream. He had a 50/50 chance of dying and they didn't have any way of fighting it. :eek: :yes: He had no infection and he live well into his 80s. :yes: :biggrin:
Wow!
I guess Patty Duke landed on the wrong side of the 50-50 odds.
That's too bad, I really liked her. She was one of the few child actresses who transitioned to adult/older adult roles gracefully..
Wow, agree Locutus on the 50/50. I had never heard of this.
The same thing can happen with a ruptured appendix or infection that becomes septic in the blood. It is less common now because of the antibiotics we have now. Older people are more susceptible, no surprise there, but the infection can overwhelm anyone in the right circumstances.

That's pretty scary because my appendix had partially ruptured when I finally landed in the hospital to have it removed. It took them 3 days post operation to get my fever down. They wouldn't let me go until it did. :spooked:

Johnny, Passes At 59

Jimmie Van Zant
JIMMIE VAN ZANT, a singer/songwriter and guitarist who drew inspiration from his cousins DONNIE, JOHNNY and especially, RONNIE, who mentored him on guitar, passed away today at the age of 59, according to his FACEBOOK page.
VAN ZANT made a name for himself performing at summer festival shows and HARLEY-DAVIDSON rallies before recording his debut album, "Southern Comfort," which came out in 2000 on J-BIRD RECORDS. He released "Feels Like Freedom" in 2012. His live sets included not only his own material, but covers of SKYNYRD and .38 SPECIAL classics, a fact he was unapologetic about.
Discussing his legacy with BILLBOARD in 2012, he stated: "First of all, it's my family, so I am very glad to be a part of it. I've been asked many times whether doors open or close because of it. In my day-to-day, the VAN ZANT carries weight no different than DuPONT paint or CHEVROLET or FORD. There's a brand name, but there is to be expected quality, and we try to deliver that. It gets tough sometimes. I get messages on FACEBOOK saying I'm riding off of coat tails, but it's no different than if your dad had a restaurant or a car dealership. Before he passes on, he tells you to carry it on. Do you want to sell out? No, it's priceless. That's something you can't buy."
The FACEBOOK post today reads: It is with a very heavy heart that we inform you that JIMMIE VAN ZANT has passed away today holding his wife's hand. His very close friends, STEVE & SUE PRINDELL were alongside JIMMIE & ZOHRA, as JIMMIE transitioned. We ask that you keep JIMMIE, ZOHRA and all of his loved ones in your thoughts & prayers. We also ask that you respect their need for privacy in this very sad and difficult time. Thank you. God bless you and let the Freebird Fly !!!

I've read he had the flu that turned into walking pneumonia, don't know if that contributed anything. He also had hip replacement surgery in 2010 and was using Percocet since then. Might have been an overdose. Need to wait for the autopsy results. So sad.

I guess I asked because it was well known he was a Muslim and never seemed to be an issue for anyone.
Ali was NOT a radical islamic muslim. THAT is what MOST people are talking about from entering our Nation. Approx 7% of all Muslims are NOT like Ali, yet they represent hundreds of thousand, who want to destroy this nation. All we (on the right) want some proper vetting of those who enter this nation from Muslim countries. It just makes common sense.
NO once wants to BAN all Muslims from entering the country...that is a myth.

Oh but it WAS a big issue back in the day when he first converted . Look it up. I was a kid and remember it well.

He was systematically denied a boxing license in every state and stripped of his passport. As a result, he did not fight from March 1967 to October 1970—from ages 25 to almost 29—as his case worked its way through the appeals process before his conviction was overturned in 1971. During this time of inactivity, as opposition to the Vietnam War began to grow and Ali's stance gained sympathy, he spoke at colleges across the nation, criticizing the Vietnam War and advocating African American pride and racial justice.
Convicted of what, converting to Islam? I remember there were problems when he dodged the draft.

I remember that, didn't he flunk the induction test? I remember that being a really big deal, since back then if you could sign your name you passed. That was a much bigger deal than his conversion. If I remember correctly hadn't he been close to Louis Faracon for awhile before that?

I had heard Florence Henderson had passed away but wasn't sure if true or not. I actually had a late uncle who went out with her once as they attended the same high school.
Something sudden happened. She was in the stands of Dancing With the Stars just this past Monday in support of Maureen McCormick.

I didn't know she was in the stands so thanks for posting about her. I never watched Dancing with the Stars.
Don't know how truthful it is but a news source stated she died of heart failure
It was heart failure.
I'm not a medical person by any stretch, but I though heart failure was a slower killer than a sudden event like what seems to have happened here. She was on DWTS on Monday, looking perfectly healthy, yet on her deathbed 3 days later.

Do you think maybe she had a massive heart attack and they are listing it as heart failure? I know my father has congestive heart failure and my late father in law died of heart failure. It is a slow progressive disease.

Congestive heart failure is the most likely culprit I am thinking. My mother had it and it was the underlying cause of her death. Not a whole lot they can do about it either, other than keep the patient comfortable and some additional therapies to prolong life. . . Even then there is some portion of voodoo involved with it. :yes:
When you get into your 70's and above they're not real enthusiastic about cracking your chest and rooting around in there to see if they can strengthen your pump. :no:
With diastolic type the heart cannot fill because the walls in the chambers are hardened and thickened, and with systolic type the heart cannot pump because the chamber walls are thin and weakened. (As I recall. Mom had extensive heart work done in her life so anything I know is a byproduct of those events). Both are progressive and slowly kill you compared to a massive cardiac event. Basically it smothers you. (Blood=Oxygen and restricted flow = lack of oxygen to your brain and other organs).

You may not know his name but chances are you have had at least one of his inventions in your lifetime.
What inventions you ask? Why they reside under the Golden Arches; The Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin. He invented both. :yes:

Yup. That place is no bueno for the horse! I suffer from altitude sickness at elevations above 10-11k. BAD. Takes me about 4-7 days to acclimate and until I do I am a useless bag o bones. Even taking aspirin.
One good thing though is I get blasted on 1 beer or shot above 11k! :biggrin:

I had the privilege to go on a business trip a few years ago in Banff.....we got to dine at this restaurant that you had to take a gondola 3,000' up to it....and Banff itself was already a little over 5,000'.....we had a few beers and the restroom was on the 2nd floor.......I tried to run up the stairs and nearly passed out!! Between the beer and the altitude....my head wanted NOTHING to do with it!
But it was an AMAZING view!!!

Take one look at Banff and you know why...Our host had his choice, who is from Canada, had his choice of about 5 locations....he picked Banff and we were grateful!
My company belongs to a group that has about 30 other companies, that are like us, but we don't compete. We meet twice a year, to share "Best Practices", exchange ideas, work on national roll-outs, and build comradery...each company takes turns in hosting. A great group of guys that I look forward to every spring and fall.
Nice!
I looked at the pictures and it's definitely a beautiful area. :yes:

Soon we will mark the 4th Anniversary of the beginning of this topic here at the Unknown Zone, and we are up to 74 pages at this time. (I suspect it will be 75 by the time January 1st arrives).
The first official death reported herein was of Patty Page on January 2, 2013, by Henry Hawk. This thread replaced the "Dead" topic at the end of 2012, and along the way a whole lot of notable individuals passings were reported herein; among them one of our own.
On 4/17/2013, shortly after a visit to this place, our dear friend followsthewolf crossed over and his death was reported herein, although it was several weeks before it was confirmed:

This marks the very first of our Unknown Zone Family to be posted herein, and I am extremely heartbroken to post this, but at the same time honored to be the one doing it.
FTW came to be as a brother to me in this place. His behind the scenes words of encouragement to me within private messages during my recent health crises helped me beyond measure, and as usual helped to put things into perspective for me.
He has already been missed by several of us here, even before this news came to light. :'( :'( :'( :'(
And to those who may look upon this listing as inappropriate I will say this upfront; FTW is smiling right now over this post. I dare say I think he would expect it, and "it is what it is".
Miss you brother! :'( :'( :'( :'(

A "milestone" most of us here would have rather have not marked so quickly. Just days before his death he remarked on the death of Annette Funicello, and a members commentary about all of the "male seed spilt" over her:
Quote from: followsthewolf on April 11, 2013, 04:48:26 PM
Ah, yes.
Male adolescence.
And all of this happening just within the 1st 4 months of this threads start.
I have considered asking the administration to end this topic however, given what transpired the last time I did that nearly 4 years ago I believe I will just let it ride another year or three.
Call me superstitious because I am in some things. Just like sports figures forego shaving, or wear the same socks without washing them, I too have my own superstitions of sorts. Most of them involve not wanting to tempt fate or awaken a sleeping dog. This one is of the former. . .
I'm sure that as he checks in on this place from time to time from the ether, followsthewolf is having a good laugh or two over us and our humanity; over our idiotic beliefs and habits, our silly superstitions, and most of all our unrealistic beliefs and expectations surrounding this life and what is next for each one of us.
We each have our own suspicions, traditions, and expectations surrounding it, just as we do in life. The difference is that he now knows and we do not. . . Yet. . . Tick. . .Tock. . .Tick. . .Tock. . . :HNY: :mooning:

I'll tell you another one I look for the :reap: to harvest in 2017;
Steve Howe from Yes.
He looks absolutely horrible these days. Skelton with skin stretched over it. :eek:
He kind of reminds me of the crypt keeper from Creepshow. :spooked:
Quote from: Locutus on December 27, 2016, 07:08:30 PM

The last of the band Emerson, Lake, and Palmer,
Carl Palmer is also in my top 5 most likely to be harvested. Emerson & Lake went in order in 2016, so I expect Palmer will follow in the coming year.
Glen Campbell - Alzheimers will finally lead the :reap: to him. On March 8, 2016, Rolling Stone reported that Campbell was living in a Nashville memory care facility and that he was in the "final stages" of his disease. He is now unable to communicate with other people and no longer understands what other people are saying to him. However, his family did assert that the singer was receiving good care receiving "music therapy" and was "happy" and "cheerful" .
Wilie Nelson- 83 years of weed and the :reap: follows the cloud to him in 2017. (IF he doesn't find him before the end of 2016)
**** Possibly in line as well but not in my top 5 are:
Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick)- I saw him over the summer and he is looking horrible and is in bad health. He has also begun selling things off so it is a red flag since he is not in financial difficulties.
Jimmy Page - (Led Zep)- Hits 73 in January and he is looking every second of it. He has spent the last 2 years remastering the Zeppelin catalog and has begun selling artifacts that likely hold very little value to him personally. It just strikes me as clearing the clutter for a possible date with the :reap:. (Admittedly I am reading things into this due to a life-long friends similar actions prior to his own recent demise).
Alice Cooper. (Vincent Damon Furnier). Is also on the list. 68 years of hard living means he may arrive at the harvest shortly after 69.
And a last minute addition-
Ozzy Osbourne - for obvious reasons.
I think Glen Campbell is the safest bet on that list.
Quote from: Locutus on December 27, 2016, 07:38:11 PM

So there I've given you all my actual top ten date with the :reap: list for 2017.
In my book it is between Campbell and the Raging Cheeto surrounding the safest bets.
This planet is full of people that will be highly motivated to end the RC's life. . . And his mouth is writing the contracts. (Now before some of you get on your high and mighty horse, let me finish by saying I am in no way endorsing or supporting any such action. Not in any way, shape, or form. Nor am I trying to provoke such an act of idiocy. . . I don't have to as the RC is doing a fine job of it himself.)

I'll add a few, who I think will be lucky to see 2018 come...
1. Linda Rondsadt - Parkinsons getting the best of her........(One of my all-time female voices)
2. John Mellencamp - Might be a long shot, but he is looking bad and doesn't seem to care.
3. Roger Daltrey - Also not looking good...
4. Valerie Harper - Rhoda - Lung cancer
5. Robert Blake - aka, Baretta....he is pushing 90...and is looking like he is on borrowed time..
Valerie Harper is still around?
She's been going on with the cancer since 2013, so don't bet against her. ;D I think she was even given just 3 months to live after her initial diagnosis, yet she's still going on.

I am surprised that the :reap: has overlooked Betty White again this year.

Doesn't she have a son, too? How terrible to lose your sister and mother in a week of each other. I feel sorry for him.

Yes, she does. That is who announced her death. And yes, it is horrible to lose your mother and sister a day apart but I know it has happened in families. It is very traumatic for the family.

It would appear he dodged it yet again this very day in California, mistaking a taxi-way for a runway and doing a flyover of a loaded passenger airliner in the process. . . He radioed the tower once he touched down and asked if that flyover of the airliner was intentional. That's when he discovered he had landed on a taxi-way adjacent to the runway he was supposed to have landed on. . .
That guy should hang up his wings while he's still breathing. . . :spooked:

Well, I guess it all depends on what we believe happens when we (our bodies) die.
Last night I had the strangest dream. I was sleeping restlessly because of dietary indiscretion (won't go into details). Anyway, I was in a motor vehicle and knew it was going to crash, and it did, but I kept moving, painlessly, and then realized I was weightless and ... that's when I woke up.

The vehicle represents your current path in life, and the "ride" and "feel" represent that path's impact upon you.
Your current path is one that you already know is going to end in a "wreck"; however, the fact that you know this will eliminate any potential negative impact upon your life and progress along your chosen path.
Just my .02. . . . :wink:

That was the purpose of this dream. Your spirit guide asking you to stop and think about whatever it is. . .

The vehicle represents your current path in life, and the "ride" and "feel" represent that path's impact upon you.
Your current path is one that you already know is going to end in a "wreck"; however, the fact that you know this will eliminate any potential negative impact upon your life and progress along your chosen path.

LEGENDARY DRUMMER DIES MID-PERFORMANCE
Tragedy has struck the music industry once again as one of its most legendary drummers has died.
While aboard the Legends of Rock cruise, 67-year old Sib Hashian, drummer for the rock band Boston, died after collapsing on stage during a performance. The drummer was given CPR and treated with a defibrillator, but he could not be resuscitated. Hashian's son spoke to media and said that the cause of his father's death isn't known but they "think it might be a heart attack."
"I can confirm that my father Sib passed away last night," Hashian's son Adam told PEOPLE. "It's tough to lose him — he was a thoughtful guy with many friends and an amazing grandfather."
The Legends of Rock cruise began departed Florida on March 18, and was scheduled to make various Caribbean stops including the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. The cruise will continue as scheduled with other musicians performing in tribute to Hashian.
"We in his family really appreciate the love and support that everyone has shown and we are deeply sorry for everyone's loss," Hashian's son said.
Hashian played drums for Boston on the group's first two records including their 1976 debut album that went 17 times platinum. The self-titled album featured singled "Long Time" and "Peace of Mind" along with their best known hit song "More Than a Feeling."
Sib Hashian's wife, Suzanne, said in a statement that funeral arrangements would be made at a later date.
In addition to wife Suzanne, daughter Aja and son Adam, Hashian is survived by his wife Suzanne, son Adam, daughters Aja and Lauren, and granddaughter Jasmine.

I hope what you wrote means that you don't understand what just happened to your hero Trump and fellow republicans. They had to admit publicly that all that talk about changing the AFA was just talk. It was obviously W-A-Y too beneficent and complicated for them to figure out how to dismantle and redo it in a few days. Or weeks or months or .... :sneaky:

Roger Ailes....@ 77
This is from a memo Ailes wrote back in the 1970's titled, "A Plan for Putting the GOP on TV News."
"Today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers, than people listen to the radio, than people read or gather any other form of communication," the memo read. "The reason: People are lazy. With television you just sit -- watch -- listen. The thinking is done for you."

I watch both...the saying keep your friends close but your enemies closer, is kind of the logic I have....I watch MSNBC, until I get nausea....
To be honest, I don't actually watch a lot of either. I like Hannity's show, but rarely watch it. By the time I get home, eat, do some daily chores, talk with my kids & wife...........I'm ready to turn in.
But, I get most of mine from various websites....
I watch some of Hannity just about every day. I generally find it portends what kind of BS will show up on Facebook, and around here, the next day. :big grin:

I don't usually editorialize on these things, except for those that have a large impact upon me personally. Greg Allman was one of those.
I remember first hearing them as a lad in 1969; and as a 12 year old I ran out and purchased their LP. I loved their music from the beginning and even through the death of Duane, Greg managed to keep the sound and soul of the music alive and living through all the decades since.
He lived hard, but he made some damn fine music along the way; music that I still love to this very day. My iPod and iTunes have always carried the Allman Brothers, and always will. Vinyl, cassettes, CD's reside in my collection as well.
He once sang "I'm no Angel". . . But this day he became one. (If you believe in such things and clearly Greg Allman did.)
This day he is reunited with Duane, Butch, and host of others that went before him. This day the ether resounds with the sounds of the Allman Brothers Band in all of it's glory. The earth will not be the same without him.

Surprised no one jumped the gun here, but it has been widely misrepresented throughout the media that Tom Petty has crossed over. The facts are:
Tom Petty was discovered in his home Sunday evening in full cardiac arrest.
He was rushed to a local hospital and has been admitted.
No further information from any reliable source has been officially released except for a statement by his daughter stating that he is NOT dead.
I have heard a whole lot more but will refrain from repeating it.
I, like the legions of fans throughout the world, await an official announcement from his family surrounding what has happened. (Biological and chosen family)
My thoughts are with all . . .

Rocker Tom Petty died Monday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, according to Tony Dimitriades, longtime manager of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Dimitriades confirmed Petty's death on behalf of the performer's family.
He was 66.
The singer was found unconscious in his Malibu home on Sunday night, authorities said.
Petty was transported to UCLA Santa Monica Hospital where he was reportedly placed on life support.
With his nasally voice and chiming guitar, Petty and his longtime band, the Heartbreakers, churned out an instantly recognizable brand of sturdy, heartland rock that made them a classic-radio staple for decades. Petty, along with the band, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. . .

Funny thing is the way I have felt about death (mine) since I was a teenager and realized that I could not imagine a time (before I was born or since) when I (my soul or spirit) did not/would not exist. Maybe that's because I read too much Deepak Chopra ... oh, heck, I didn't discover him until years later, 1995 to be specific, when I was in Barnes & Noble and saw a book, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, The Quantum Alternative To Growing Old, by Deepak Chopra, M. D.
It was not only the part about growing old that intrigued me, it was the word "quantum," as in quantum physics (science).

In my opinion Deepak Chopra is a Quack. He doesn't know more about death than anyone else. I think when a person dies, he dies. He is put in the ground or a vase and there they will stay until the Universe goes dark for ever and ever. For everything dies, even matter and atoms and the Universe will die at some time in the future. Let us pray. :pray: LOL.

Me too. Last summer my boyfriend and I went up to New England and we stopped in Boston and went to Cheers. They have three bars and the place was packed. We split up trying to find a seat at one of the bars and he found one at the upstairs bar that was made to look like the Cheers set. My Boston friends complained of it being a tourist trap, but we had fun eating and drinking some beers. They had mugs you could buy that looked like the ones on the TV show. I wanted one as a souvenir, but felt they were overpriced. Before we left, my boyfriend surprised me by buying us two Cheers mugs. :smitten: (My ex never would have done that, so it was a wonderful surprise.) We use them often and it brings back fond memories of our trip.

More about Stephen Hawking, from The Washington Post:

'I'm not afraid': What Stephen Hawking said about God, his atheism and his own death.
by Lori Johnston March 14
British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking schmoozed with popes during his lifetime, even though he was an avowed atheist. The famous scientist, who died Wednesday in England at 76, was often asked to explain his views on faith and God. During interviews, he explained his belief that there was no need for a creator.
He said during an interview with El Mundo in 2014: "Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn't. I'm an atheist."
That followed comments made to Reuters in 2007 in which Hawking, who had lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS) since 1963, described himself as "not religious in the normal sense."
"I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science," he said. "The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws."
[ I was raised an Orthodox Jew. Then someone from Reddit sent me Stephen Hawking's book. ]
Because of his involvement in the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which fosters "interaction between faith and reason and encouraging dialogue between science and spiritual, cultural, philosophical and religious values," he visited the Vatican over the years. Hawking gave a talk on "The Origin of the Universe" during the group's 2016 conference at the Vatican.
During those visits, he met with religious leaders, including Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI. In his comments to the Academy in 2010, Benedict XVI seemed to refer to Hawking, saying, "Scientists do not create the world; they learn about it and attempt to imitate it."
In Hawking's writings about the universe's origin, he and co-author Leonard Mlodinow posited in the 2010 book, "The Grand Design," that the big bang was inevitable.
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," the book states. "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
In discussing the book, he told ABC News: "One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. ... The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator."
Hawking's earlier best-selling cosmology book, "A Brief History of Time," also discussed black holes and the big bang. The 1988 book offered his "theory of everything" that understanding the universe offers a glimpse of "the mind of God."
[ Stephen Hawking, physicist who came to symbolize the power of the human mind, dies at 76 ]
He also explained throughout his life his thoughts on a possible afterlife, saying, "I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful."
In 2011, his comments to the Guardian explained his stance further: "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."
Hawking, who was born Jan. 8, 1942, and lived with his disease for much longer than expected, also said during the interview: "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first."
Correction: An earlier version of this report stated the incorrect date for when "A Brief History of Time" was published. The date was 1988. It also stated that Stephen Hawking had a condition much like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The condition, in fact, was ALS.

What the problem is that you have to do it alone in hotel room or by yourself at home alone. I think the right to die and have the help of a doctor or doctors should be a law. By going to a doctor to commit suicide lets the doctor have to time to deal with your problems where you might see the light that suicide is not the solution.
I think a human being has the right to die by his own chosing and not be stopped by the government of some stupid religious reason. :preach:

Charles Krauthammer told everyone today, that he will be Harvested in a few short weeks according to his doctors....of an aggressive cancer that has returned.
Yup! Here it is:
A letter from Charles Krauthammer:
I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I'm afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me.
In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. That operation was thought to have been a success, but it caused a cascade of secondary complications – which I have been fighting in hospital ever since. It was a long and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily, if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually making my way back to health.
However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.
I wish to thank my doctors and caregivers, whose efforts have been magnificent. My dear friends, who have given me a lifetime of memories and whose support has sustained me through these difficult months. And all of my partners at The Washington Post, Fox News, and Crown Publishing.
Lastly, I thank my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers, who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life's work. I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny.
I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life – full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.

I don't think anyone is ever the same after someone close to them dies, either by their own hand or otherwise. I can't possibly imagine someone wanting to take their own life either; especially someone who has an 11-year-old daughter like Bourdain.
However, I also know that I could never have an understanding being unable to "walk a mile in their shoes," as the old saying goes.

Someone deep in depression isn't killing themselves to be selfish. Someone with severe depression doesn't think logically, they can only see what they believe is their own unworthiness and believe people around them would be better off if they were no longer there. They are desperate and feel they have no choice. To be that deep in the pit of depression is unimaginable by those who have never felt it.

I agree, you are never the same after a loved one dies. I think k it is worse when they die out of order and I think it would be even harder if they killed themself. I would think the anger and guilt would be so magnified.

Having lost several friends via suicide, I couldn't agree more with what you've stated.
The saddest part about it is those living every day with depression, with no end in sight as far as they can see. And the fear it instills in those of us that love them; that one day they will do the same. I have a number of friends and a couple of relatives in that situation right now. . . :'(

Just what do you do when you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The pain medicine doesn't work any more, praying doesn't work. You are pain every minute of the day and getting worse and people who doesn't know what pain is really like. Tells you to hang in there, when there is nothing anyone can do.
In states that will allow assisted suicide, many people who are given the medicine to kill themselves don't use it. But gives them peace of mind and they can die in peace
I watch my dad die in nursing home and my step mother die there too. My uncle died in a nursing home and didn't know anyone not even himself and he was a mayor in a city in Ohio. I have no intention of dying in a nursing home. Hanging if done right doesn't hurt and Helium is the way to go. I'm here to tell you I won't die in a nursing home if there is anyway I can keep from it. :yes: :biggrin: :trustme:

I agree, but Dr. Krauthammer was more than just another republican who marched to the beat, never questioning. Here's something he said about Trump:
(I found it in some clippings I had saved.) The last sentence says it all.
August 5, 2016: "Donald Trump and the fitness threshold.
"This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11 year old underdeveloped school yard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value - indeed exists - only insofar as it sustains and inflates him. Most politicians seek approval. But Trump lives for the adoration. He doesn't even try to hide it, boasting incessantly about his crowds, his standing ovations, his TV ratings, his primary victories. The latter are more prized because they offer empirical evidence of how loved and admired he is.
Prized also because, in our politics, success is self validating. A candidacy that started out as a joke, as a self aggrandizing exercise in xenophobia, struck a chord in a certain constituency and took off.
The joke was on those who believed that he was not a serious man and therefore would not be taken seriously. They - and myself emphatically included - were wrong.

Only if he was flying commercially (for hire). If he was flying privately, that's only a Third Class Medical which needs renewed every 3 years. :wink:

So happy I got to see her the last time she went through central Indiana and stopped at Hoosier Park Casino.
She sang for Kings, Queens, and at least 3 US Presidents in command performances for each, and had the voice and range of an angel. A career that spanned decades and brought her 4 sons; teaching us all what R-E-S-P-E-C-T means along the way. Personally moving me to tears with her performances and the heartfelt emotion she put into them.
Another musical icon that has crossed over and left us a rich musical legacy to remember her by.
May your soul now rest in eternal peace Ms Franklin. The world is a richer place because of your work and lifetime, and a darker place with your departure. . . :'(

A man that served his country throughout his life, thrown to the junk heap by his party and colleagues over their political idiocy in aligning themselves with bullies, thieves, and outright morons.
I may not have supported his presidential candidacy, but I absolutely respect his service and sacrifices made on behalf of this formerly great nation; and spit in the faces of those who have abandoned him in yet another great time of personal need as he nears the crossing over point.
May his place within the ether be far greater than the level of personal sacrifices he made within his time here on behalf of the people of this nation. And may we one day return to the morally high ground he always attempted to lead us toward in his time here.
Whether I agreed with him or not, I do believe he always supported and did what he believed to be the right thing for the majority of this nation, and I can find no fault within it; rather, honor far greater than that possessed within those currently charged with the very same responsibilities.

John McCain was a great warrior and he gave up a lot in his health and welfare as a pilot. But him as a Republican Senator the only thing I thought was great was stopping the Republican from stopping ObamaCare health plan for poor people and the middle class. Also I don't think he stole a damn thing from the American taxpayers. :yes: Safe trip John McCain. :salute: :flag:

Thank you. Far less than the man deserved to say the least.
I recall that moment as well, and wished he had chosen a lesser opponent to run against. That act alone spoke volumes about the man.
I was on the forward observation deck at work yesterday viewing the sunset behind the flags of this nation and my employer at half mast. My thoughts turned to Senator McCain and his family, and I hoped that the symbolism was not one forewarning of the end of honorable men and women in service to this nation.
Men and women of his caliber are rare these days. His "Farewell" letter to the nation was inspiring. :'(
My 2 cents on McCain:
First of all, he is a hero, and a man who loved his country. Those are undeniable.
I wanted him to be POTUS....though he wasn't a conservative, in the Reagan fashion...he was in my opinion, the best man for the job between the two candidates. By FAR, I might add.
I think he was closer to being an old fashion "conservative democrat" than a republican.
I was not a fan of his during much of his career.....I didn't hate him, just didn't like his voting record so much.
I think it is rather sad/humorous as to the democrats who are praising him (this isn't a shot at anyone here particularly )...when he was running against Obama, he was an "idiot, a moron, he was attacked for his service as a POW" They had some horrible things to say........NOW, that he took a stand against Trump, the love for McCain by the left is thick. Enough to make me want to vomit.
I salute him for his service and pray for his family.
He WAS a good man.
I have not wanted to listen to the eulogies and memorials for high profile deaths in so many years I cannot remember the last one.
This day I find myself torn between the services of Aretha Franklin and Sen. John McCain. I'd like to see the coverage of both, but have to work.
I will rise early tomorrow morning to watch the last of Senator McCains public services, and hopefully see the highlights of Aretha Franklin's.
At this very moment I am watching the Honor Guard removing his casket from the hearse, in order to carry him to the Capital viewing location. . . :'(
Soul stirring sadness. . .
Fitting that the skies are crying down upon them as they carry him in. . . (rain)
I am ashamed that the president of America is not man enough and honorable enough to have something good to say about John McCain.

I was not sure I wanted to watch either, but looked in on McCain's at the church in Arizona, and sat there the whole time, sometimes crying -- from

I did it my way. It was indeed a class act.
As for Aretha's, I so far have missed all except the singing at the very end. Will try again this weekend.
Okay my thoughts....Obama is a great speaker but full of sh!t... disingenuous! He is a total hypocrite! He used this platform for nothing more than a political platform! Meghan loved her Dad and I understand why she is resentful towards Trump...I understand and respect her.

"So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage. It's a politics that pretends to be brave and tough, but in fact is born of fear. John called on us to be bigger than that. He called on us to be better than that." ~ Barack Obama
". . .Lived by a set of public virtues that brought strength and purpose to his life and to his country.
Perhaps above all, John detested the abuse of power. He could not abide bigots and swaggering despots."~ George W. Bush
"Remarkably, his death seems to have reminded the American people that these values are what makes us a great nation, not the tribal partisanship and personal attack politics that have recently characterized our life. This week's celebration of the life and values of patriotism of this hero, I think have taken our country above all that." ~ Joe Lieberman
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great." ~ Megan McCain
President Obama made no such effort that I saw, and I watched the entire memorial service. In fact he only spoke truth, just as each of those delivering eulogies did.
Were they personal statements surrounding the political flotsam that the late, great John McCain himself detested? Yes. And these men and woman agree with him whole-heartedly, and said so.
All of them are correct, and each of them hand-picked by the deceased because he knew, even as he drew his dying breath, that they would speak the truth in eulogizing him. No matter which party they represent.
I saved the best of these truths for last, for I believe it was simple and direct in its assessment of John McCain's view of our political environment on the day of his death. And of course as the universe would have it, the words were spoken by John's daughter.
McCain challenged our executive branch to follow the process, make the hard choices for the betterment of the majority of the nation, hold themselves accountable to the people they serve, and prodded them every single day to get things done. Despite the fact he had every reason to be bitter toward this country over his capture and torture at the hand of its enemy; an enemy he later fought hard to make this country see that only through normalization of its relationship with, could its sons and daughters heal.
His choices during his military career provided him credibility with his peers in the executive branch, as well as the people of this nation. He was humble, yet tough when needed, and made mistakes; and publicly held himself accountable for each and every one of them. Including the choice of Sarah Palin as his VP in his failed candidacy for POTUS.
His soul knew where his true north was and his mistakes were a direct result of those times when he chose to ignore it. Something I believe this country itself is guilty of today.
Oh, and by the way. . . I know it may have escaped some so I only mention it for clarity, but the deceased planned his own memorial services himself, to be in part, a political statement; and that is exactly what it was. :yes:
I know NcCain planned it the way he wanted it...I think that was incredible, not too many people get that opportunity.
McCain was no saint. He didn't vote many times as he promised his constituents....he campaigned conservative and voted moderate. He was known for throwing tantrums and had a notoriously volatile temper. I believe he voted against doing away with Obamacare because it was Trumps bill and betrayed his own voters will because he had a personal grudge against Trump. He didn't do what was best for America but his own ego!
My opinion is also that the only reason why the liberals are frothing over him now is because he hated Trump.
That is just the way I clearly see it.

You really need to do some research on him. He voted against repeal of the ACA because the replacement was not acceptable to him as it did not meet the needs of those he represented; the American Citizens. His memorial service clearly demonstrated his willingness and ability to reach across the aisle and seek out common ground. The good people of the state of Arizona would beg to differ with you as they kept voting him into office; I say specifically because he DID represent their needs and desires.
So he had a temper. . . Show me someone that doesn't. (Hint: Look into the Oval Office for example).
You fail to give due weight to the mans military record and his decades of public service afterwards. No one is frothing over him, rather they are defending the good name and reputation of a true American Patriot and son of this nation. Especially when the CAD in the oval office chooses to drag his name through the mud and sully his reputation (poorly), even as he faced death.
We heard two POTUS's from opposing sides speak to his service, his ability and dogged effort to reach common ground, as well as their opinions surrounding the status of politics today and its current leadership just yesterday. And for once in nearly two decades they agreed on these things completely. So even in death John McCain continues to be of service to this nation.
John Kerry and John McCain were fiercely opposed, and yet McCain worked with Kerry to bring about normalization of the relationships between the US and Vietnam; those at whose hand he suffered torture and a lifetime of physical limitations. President Clinton stated that had the bill not had the full support of John McCain, and McCains assurances that he would defend the POTUS if he signed the bill, he'd have never signed it.
I find it shameful that so many in this nation look down upon John McCain and his service to this nation, based upon talking points rooted in untruths and half-truths, uttered by angry and butt hurt individuals who have personally sacrificed nothing for a cause greater than themselves. (I don't mean this to be directed toward you personally).
I never voted for him because the one time I had the opportunity to was when he chose Palin as his VP. A mistake he committed and acknowledged publicly. And yes, he made mistakes, but he owned them and apologized for them publicly and took his lumps. And kept getting re-elected.

I was a fan and have recently been doing "All Your Love" again. Those left-handed, upside down, gitfiddlers sure have a unique sound that I've always liked. Big fan of Albert King too.

Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I completely had enough of the adulations over that guy. I understand that having Drumpf in the White House has made us long for somewhat saner presidents even if they were still cretins, and GHWB was one, just like his son. The family lineage is corrupt and I had no use for any of them. Let's not forget that just because he died.
Hello Y :biggrin: So good to see you again. If I were a religious person (ya never know) I would say God sent us Trump to put things back in perspective.
Good to see you again Libby - along with everyone else.
Unfortunately, it looks to me as Drumpf as nutbag president is making several of our previous bad presidents look good and making people wish for them back. Drumpf is even making people who should know better think Pence is a better alternative.

one of the reasons he doesn't need to be there.

About a year ago I ran into a classmate of mine. He told he they just found it and had him on chemo. He didn't last four months. :reap:

A son in law was diagnosed stage 4 but with chemo and a few experimental treatments he lasted 2 years. . . In the end though, he refused another round and died 2 days later. . .

It's amazing the kinds of things I see regurgitated all the time.
I used to have such optimism for the Internet - back in the early days of course ;D - because of its ability for good. To spread knowledge; to give access to information to those who may otherwise not have it; to make for a more enlightened and educated world.
Sadly, right after it became commercialized, all of that went out the window, and we're left with what it is today. It's a vast cesspool of disinformation, crap, malware, viruses, scams, frauds, and outright bullshit. Oh, and ads; lots and lots of ads.
There are still areas of the Internet where the original intent is still preserved. There are tons of scholarly articles available, as well as credible research on any topic imaginable, as long as you know where to look.
It's just that most of the sites on the Internet, and the people who use the Internet, don't give a crap about any of that anymore. They just use it for shopping, news that only reinforces their insular views, to communicate with family and friends, and to argue with anonymous folks.
It's a really sad state of affairs given the potential that once was, and in some small way, still is.
Same here. All that optimism has turned to cynicism and me a curmudgeon. When I first started the original UZ, I had such high hopes for the 'marketplace of ideas', and that the best ideas would win out and unify people and society.
HAH!
All that's happened is that the internet has brought together the stupid, the immoral, the corrupt, the predatory and coalesced them into a force that has taken over this country and elected their self-serving god, Drumpf, as president and raped and ruined America.
Woe to us that the internet was ever born.
I'd rather live with libraries and the Dewey Decimal System than what the internet has become.

"This too shall pass" my good friend. Society is suffering from a severe case of constipation and it is just a matter of time before the levee breaks.
Sure, we'll all be swimming in a sea of gastric juices for awhile, with the only refuge being the giant turds of disinformation floating about; but once it's over it will be back to basics for this nation and those that survive it.

When your body is 89 years old, it probably don't take a lot of crap to make it all go south real quick. He gave it a good run though. He had a humorous demeanor about him, backed up with simple common sense.

I listened to a SXM Town Hall on my way home tonight with him from 2016. I remember thinking how old he appeared during the 2018 RRHF induction ceremony for the Cars.
It was a bit surreal driving home tonight and listening to his voice. . . I was never a huge Cars supporter or fan but none the less, if you listened to FM radio in the late 70's and 80's you knew their music. Or at least I did. And the slaughter of those responsible for the soundtrack of our lives continues at the hand of the reaper in 2019. . .

Yeah. After John Henry Bonham, he's one sitting behind the skins in my fantasy band. I expect he and Mr Bonham will be responsible for some hellacious thunder rolling in the coming seasons. In fact, I suspect Mr Bonham was doing just that this week around these parts. Neil died Tuesday but the News didn't break until yesterday. I think Bonham was welcoming him to the new band, and telling his fans of Neils passing in his own way.
He had been battling brain cancer the last 3 years, and finally succumbed; without anyone knowing anything about it, nor his death until days later. An intellectual lyricist, he wrote most of The Rush songs we all know and love, and had written 6 or 7 non fiction books along the way as well.
He valued his privacy and did so to the very last.
He is missed already.
Jack Welch harvested. Guess he finally made his own list of the bottom 10% performance wise. . .
