Good grief!
Crumbs!
My James Darren obituary. Pluto did a tribute marathon
Yet another victim of domestic violence
I saw the initial reports, but not her condition. So sad.
Sadly, I fear the boyfriend won’t face much in the way of punishment with statistics like this: (from the article)
Nearly 34% of Kenyan girls and women aged 15-49 years have suffered physical violence, according to government data from 2022, with married women at particular risk.
The 2022 survey found that 41 percent of married women had faced violence.
He did burn 30% of his own body so at least there’s that.
Sad day for bossa nova fans…
I didn’t realize how young he was when he was popular in the '60s. RIP.
Our local Jazz station KMHD is playing some Sergio Mendes today.
We just lost Herbie Flowers, who played bass on almost as many tracks as Rick Wakeman played keyboards for. He created the bassline for Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side, for a start.
Also Zoot Money, a British R’n’B pioneer from way back.
Oh that one hurts.
He spoke the National Anthem at one of the All-Star Games in the 90s. It was amazing. Probably one of the best versions I’ve ever heard.
But the voice of Darth Vader will live on forever.
I find our lack of James Earl Jones disturbing.
Time to watch City Limits in tribute.
Or the last few minutes of Sneakers on a loop.
The man overcame a stutter to become one of the most recognizable voices in the universe. He’s earned his rest.
The clone voice begun it has.
Alas!
RIP Mister Jones. Truly a legend.
I compiled a bunch of biographical info and tributes and delved on some roles others don’t. I also try to stay calmer about Vader and Mufasa because man I know some places putting so much weight on those two roles. I get they’re important, I love them too, but it can be a lot.
