I was just talking about him last week with my FIL and he was wondering if old Pete was still alive.

It was a nice slide show though. I hadn't seen those 90th birthday party pictures before. And I knew he didn't cooperate with the commie witch hunt, but didn't realize he went to jail for a year over it.

edit: I see he appealed and won, and never actually served time.

Pete Seeger was a hero of mine. And the Weavers reunion on PBS is one of my all-time favorite specials.

Philip Seymour Hoffman has left the building.

No way!

He was an alcohol and heroin kinda guy... helluva actor though.

Ah man, that's so sad. Mum just phoned me to tell me. We're all big fans of his.

What a tragic waste. He was such a talented actor.

Gravdigr 02-02-2014 02:14 PM

Just read about that a few minutes ago. Kinda shocking. We were the same age, I thought he was 55-ish.

Suspected overdose, as he was found with a needle in his arm, per YahooNews.

He was the subject of a death hoax earlier this week they said.

Yeah, he was a very good actor. Addicts are the best liars.
