Tony Gwinn, HOF dead at 54

Cancer sucks

AND

Chewing tobacco is just plain stupid.

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

From the San Diego Padres Twitter feed:

Rest in peace, Mr. Padre.

Heaven's band just got a lot better.

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.

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.

Gravdigr · 07-12-2014, 02:43 PM

Another one? Damn.

Gravdigr · 07-17-2014, 04:23 PM

Elaine Stritch - dead at 89.

Johnny Winter - dead at 70. The band just got a whole bunch better.

Griff · 07-17-2014, 09:22 PM

Whoa.

Sheldonrs · 07-18-2014, 11:47 AM

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

"It's a living music," Winter once said of his chosen genre. "For me, blues is a necessity." (from here)

Amen, Johnny. RIP.

James Garner, dead at 86.

Man, I loved "The Rockford Files".

Hell, I think I liked everything I ever saw him in.

Gravdigr · 07-20-2014, 10:15 AM

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.

sexobon · 07-20-2014, 10:33 AM

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.
