Guard Dog Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Just read the news about Greg Allman. Man that sucks. I think tonight I'll have a glass of Kentucy's finest, play some Allman Brothers and remember better days when all the rock legends were still with us.

Bartimaeus Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Well, yeah, she had a noted drug addiction most of her life. It was thought that she had been clean for a while, but it seems not. Perhaps related to her trying to get skinnier for the movie role... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Azdeus Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Maybe she couldn't do Star Wars without it? Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

algroth Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Pierre Henry died. http://www.9news.com.au/entertainment/2017/07/07/01/37/grandaddy-of-techno-pierre-henry-dies-at-89 This makes me sad because he was my friends and I's introduction to early electronic and musique concréte back in high school. Most might know him for making the track that served as the blueprint for the Futurama theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqoYKvhbGG0 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden

Blarghagh Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I thought he died like 3 years ago? EDIT: He did, that article is from December 2014. Edited July 7, 2017 by TrueNeutral
Amentep Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Actor Skip Homeier passed away June 25th. He was in a number of movies (The Gunfighters with Gregory Peck and the 1954 noir film Cry Vengence, for example) and he was on TV often (he played the Judge in the 1976 TV-Movie adaption of Bugliosi's Helter Skelter, was in Mission: Impossible, Alfred Hitch**** Presents, and a lot of the late 50s westerns like The Rifleman). For sci-fi fans he may be best remembered for two roles on Star Trek, Melakon in "Patterns of Force" and Dr. Severin in "The Way to Eden" http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/skip-homeier-dead-tomorrow-world-star-trek-actor-was-86-1018507 Not quite a celebrity in her own right, but well known none-the-less, Joan Lee, wife of Stan Lee has also passed away. She was also an author of one published book, The Pleasure Palace: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/joan-lee-dead-wife-marvel-comics-legend-stan-lee-was-95-1018951 I cannot - yet I must.

algroth Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I thought he died like 3 years ago? EDIT: He did, that article is from December 2014. Weird. I just saw it posted on a music thread. Ah well, sorry, my bad. Edited July 7, 2017 by algroth My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden
Blarghagh Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Well it's no biggie. I was just confused. Still a sad loss.
Raithe Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 For that side note of celebrity, apparently Stan Lee's wife, Joan Lee has passed away at the age of 93. 69 years of married life. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Blarghagh Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Makes me worry for Stan. In my (anecdotal) experience with older couples, if the wife goes the man follows soon after. 2
Amentep Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Stan's health hasn't been great the past few years, anyhow. So there was already worry. 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Gfted1 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 The most touching story Stan Lee has ever told is how he met his wife. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Raithe Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Depending on your view of celebrity, Nelsan Ellis has died aged 39. Probably most recognised for playing Lafayette in True Blood and Shinwell in Elementary Edited July 8, 2017 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Hurlshort Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 That's terrible. He was the best part of True Blood. Way too young.
