A solid groove?  He could turn... wait for it... goat piss into gasoline!

Seriously, do the winter months just kick the shit out of ailing people...you'd think Spring would be getting them up and dancing rather than burying them.

Ah, fuck. Great deliverer of lines, both bass and - occasionally - dialogue.

 

Donald 'Duck' Dunn: The shit fit, and he wore it. RIP.

My wife works in the funeral business, and there are apparently some spike times. November, for people with nothing to look forward to at Xmas, early February for those who held on to see the grandkids one last time, and May/June for warmer weather and the infamous yard work heart attack.

Losing Chuck really, really hurts. I met the man outside of a VT-Maryland game (his son played for the Hokies), and he couldn't have been more gracious to everyone who came up to him, beaming and friendly. A wonderful man, and a ridiculously great legacy that goes beyond the music he made. 75 or not, he was just one of those people you don't expect the world to be without.

 

Wind me up, Chuck!

They just broke into the morning news to announce that disco icon Donna Summer died.   Too bad.  My mother was a big fan of hers, so I basically grew up with her music.  

post #5209 of 5903

First Chuck Brown, then Donna Summer. George Clinton best get his affairs in order. The Rule of 3's seems to be betting on black this week.

post #5210 of 5903

Time for Bruce to break out "Protection" for this week's shows.

post #5211 of 5903

I guess Donna Summer dying is karma making up for Robin Gibb...Staying Alive.

When I told my wife about Donna Summer she said "it seems they come in tens these days"

This begs the question, does Duke Fleed ever come in here?

You should use those powers for good...

Your timing is impeccable, sir. Hat's off!

Not that I'm accusing Clarence of being 'a plant'.

Holy shit! Billy Mumy died?!

 

Goodnight, little monster.

No Bill "Lead henchman in Double Trouble" Mumy is still alive and well thankfully.

I just wanted a chance to mention Double Trouble.

The last words he heard: "Hello, cuuttie paai..."

 

It occurred to me that when I used to see fresh posts on this thread, I just got curious. These days, I think "Fuck, who now?"

 

Yep. Getting old.

post #5237 of 5903

In honor of Richard Dawson, his best moment:

 

 

The guys was great.

Headline: Death gives Dawson unwanted kiss.

post #5241 of 5903

Funny and all, but let's not forget Dawson was the best thing about The Running Man.

So true. Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers have been pestering Gene Rayburn long enough. Richard was a master at the game, just like Betty White was with Password. That's a game I'd love to see come back....

 

Who would be on a modern day Match Game?

I just watched an old black & white Youtube of a much younger Doc performing Deep River Blues. Simply incredible, and irreplaceable.

RIP Ray Bradbury. 

post #5247 of 5903

Just coming to post that.  Fucking hell.

post #5248 of 5903

Sad, but the guy had a good, long life and a tremendous career. 

post #5249 of 5903

Yep, if there's an immortality through literature, he's earned it. Thanks for all of it, Ray.

post #5250 of 5903

It was just kind of comforting to still have one of the old guard around.  Asimov, Clark and Heinlein were all gone, but Bradbury endured.
