Bob Barker has died.

Too soon, or an acceptable way to deal with the sadness?

And it's become hard to accept any version of the character that doesn't at least try a Jersey accent.

✅ Acceptable.

Dying at 99.75 isn't all that sad.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I'm disgusted with myself for not thinking of it first.

Post of the year, in my book.

The IMDb has her "previously" married to Christopher Lloyd. Makes it sound like she was separated or divorced. They weren't. They were married until her death. He is "Walsh" Lloyd. He was the producer of "Modern Family" and "Frasier" -- Although both were born in Connecticut, not to be confused with Christopher "Allen" Lloyd. You know "Allen" Lloyd as Patient Taber in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," as Reverend Jim in "Taxi", as Doc Brown in "Back to the Future" as Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family: Family Values" A big difference in age too. "Walsh" Lloyd was born in 1960. "Allen" Lloyd was born in 1938.

Of course, places describing her death have them confused with one another. That is to be expected.

The Christopher Lloyd that played "Jim Ignatowski", was in the movie "Nobody". He was great in that flick, and I highly recommend it.

That's a shame, dying so young, from a nasty disease, and pancreatic is a bad one, not a high survival rate. The worst part is, you know it can be cured, but there isn't any money in cures, just treatment, I really do hate big pharmaceutical.

Jimmy Buffett has died.

Jimmy Buffett has died.

Parrotheads are sad!

You know what's strange about a margarita? You don't serve it from the refrigerator as a cool drink. It's not a daiquiri.

"That frozen concoction that helps me hang on"

-- NO --

It's tequila, triple sec and lime juice in a glass. Served at room temperature. With salt on the rim of the glass. You put the lime juice and simple syrup on the rim and let the salt stick to it. You can put ice in it, shake it with ice, or blend it with ice. But why bother? It only waters it down.

Ever try drinking tequila and water from a rock glass? It can't be done.

Geez, Jimmy get it right.

Well if Heaven is Paradise ....

He's in a good place.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I just saw he passed away. I really liked his music, it was always there to put you in a good mood, even if you didn't want to be. I saw him live once at an outdoor venue in Ohio called The Blossom Music Center, and it was a great time. Ironically, it also happens to be the only concert I've ever been to, where a brawl broke out! I loved the show, but was pissed off that one of the lunk heads fighting, got blood on my blanket. I had no choice but to pitch it.

Rest In Peace Mr. Buffett, you made a lot of people smile.

No, but I drank it straight from a bottle once, no salt. It was horrid. I tilted it up, let the worm drop, and when it hit me, I gulped. The first, last, and only time I did that. Of course it was actually mescal, but it's as close to tequila as it gets, I believe it was Monte Alban brand. I haven't touched that crazy juice in 30 years. It makes me a very violent, and scary person.

Steve Harwell, lead singer of Smash Mouth, has passed away.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/04/arts/music/steve-harwell-smash-mouth-all-star-dead.html

Steve Harwell, the former lead singer of the rock band Smash Mouth, which was best known for its ubiquitous 1999 hit “All Star,” died on Monday. He was 56.

His death, at his home in Boise, Idaho, was confirmed by the band’s manager, Robert Hayes, who said the cause was liver failure.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I just saw that he passed away. It was just yesterday, or the day before there was a story on yahoo, that he was under hospice, and was expected to pass in about a week. I guess he was in worse shape that they thought. I wasn't a big fan, but they had a couple of good tunes. It's a shame he died so young, but hopefully his suffering is done.

R.I.P. Mr. Harwell

Not a good weekend for musicians. Gary Wright, Dream Weaver, dies at 80 after battling Parkinson's and dementia.

[Mr. Daystar]

Just saw this. Thankfully his suffering has ended. I hope he can rest now. I can't help but think I heard somewhere he was related to another noted musician. Anybody else ever hear that?

R.I.P. Mr. Wright.


It really is a bad week.

Dire Straits other guitar player passed at 68. I wasn't a huge fan of the band, but they were alright. To be honest, I never realized they had 2 guitars. I thought Knopfler handled it all.

Gary Wright was also a founding member of Spooky Tooth, along with Mike Harrison, Luther Grosvenor, Greg Ridley and Mike Kellie.

Here's a cover of Robbie Robertson's "The Weight" off the debut album, It's All About in England; later Tobacco Road here in the United States...

Mike Harrison is singing lead vocals, Gary is the one whose back is turned away from the camera. He's playing piano.

Monday was the 53rd anniversary, of the death of rock & roll's most famous, and influential guitarists. This article interested me, and I thought some of the members here might also find it so.
