His regular work was far out enough that it passed as being produced by an extra-terrestrial.

Damn.
Talented. |
Maya Angelou.
Gave me a different aspect on racism. Wrote amazingly accessible poetry. An honest and beautiful black woman. |
Oh, that's a sad one. I liked her. She was a good egg.
She came to my college when I was s student there and I got to hear her speak. I don't remember what she said, but she had this amazing presence. |
What a loss for all of us.
|
Oh just remembered a dream about you, Glatt...
Will post in the appropriate thread. Envy you majorly that you heard her speak. She was one of my heroes. I have two of her poems by heart, and more lines randomly. |
Oh, the passing of Maya Angelou got by me somehow.
ETA: Here's a sad commentary on my life: I don't personally know anyone who will know who Maya Angelou was. Ima test that notion, but, I'm betting it's true.:sniff: |

Here is an excellent article on Maya Angelou.
In fact it is the best news article I've ever read on Yahoo. |
Hard to believe. 86 seems young to me.

Maya Angelou Just read this quote today. Smart woman. |
Quote:
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim. |
Oh, and...
My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself. |

Last I heard the Police were called to the scene of a sudden death at lunchtime today. ETA, sorry the article says that. I heard it as an update on the original story on the radio. |
The Police reunited in the wake of Rik Mayall's passing?
Sting, Andy, and Stewart must have been really big fans. |

Man, the Casey Kasem story this past couple of months has just infuriated me.

There was a legal tussle between his adult kids and his second wife over whether or not to continue giving food and water in his last months.

Just read that. He played all of his 20 year MLB career for the Padres.

That should give the angels a break from all that kickass comedy and drama they've been enjoying lately.

I just read that Meshach Taylor died.
I liked this guy. He was a pretty good actor. Attachment 48307 Fuck cancer. |
I really liked him too. I think Designing Women did some groundbreaking stuff for its time. Meschach Taylor (Anthony) was a big part of that, and he was so funny.
I can't find any good short clips or even good quotes of parts I'm thinking of. One was where some woman snidely asked him if he was related to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Anthony's last name was Bouvier) and he went off on some reply about yeah, she's his sister and something about since she married Ari...etc. Another memorable one was when he ended up camping with the girls for some reason. He and Delta Burke (Suzanne Sugarbaker) and he and Alice Ghostley (Bernice Clifton) had great comedic chemistry. So sad... |
Tommy Ramone dead at 62. :(
Tom Erdelyi emigrated to America in 1957 and grew up in Forest Hills, Queens, where he played with guitarist John Cummings – later Johnny Ramone – in Tangerine Puppets. He went on to study engineering and worked at the Record Plant (where he assisted on a 1969 Jimi Hendrix session) and other facilities. |
Another one? Damn.
|
|
Whoa.

I saw Elaine Stritch in her one woman show in 2001. A great performer and story teller.

James Garner, dead at 86.
Man, I loved "The Rockford Files". Hell, I think I liked everything I ever saw him in. :sniff: :blackr: |
I can remember, when I was a kid, I had to go to bed when Momdigr did. But, on Thursdays (I think, or whatever night it came on) I would stay awake till "The Rockford Files" came on, I'd hear his phone ringing at the intro, then get up and sneak back to the living room and watch with Popdigr til it went off, then sneak back to bed.
|
One of my favorites, James Garner was certainly versatile. He further endeared himself by taking on roles in which his character was quick on the clever rather than quick on the trigger. A career well done.
|
Rockford files was so cool. He had that answering machine and the awesome trailer on the water.
|
Well, he had a trailer.
And it was on the water... |
The answering machine was way before anyone had them in the real world.
But really, he was what made that show cool |
He was a good one. Loved Rockford Files as well.
|
In everything he was in, he was funny and never full of himself.
|
|
RIP Dick Wagner.
|
|
Damn. :sniff:
|
Only 63. Thought he was older.

Depression takes another one. People who can survive anything...ANYTHING...can not always survive depression. It's sneaky and mean and the perception of it has to change. It's a disease. No one would ask for it. No one who suffers from it can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and put on a happy face. Not even a comedic talent such as Robin Williams. They can try and try and try. Sometimes they can make it. Often they do not.
My heart breaks. Nanoo Nanoo, Mr Williams. I thought you were one who humor could help. This is just so fucking sad. :( |
Sorry to hear this news. His poor family .
