Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Doctor Irwin Corey, 102
He was hilarious. As I kid I remember watch him I think on Ed Sullivan. He was a comedic genius. Everyone should watch one of his routines.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: John Havlicek, 79
As a kid born just north of Boston in 1962, John Havlicek was the personification of basketball.
Bill Russell had moved on by about the time I became aware of professional sports.

Re: Tony Glover, 79 & Leon Redbone, 69
Always liked Redbone. Always assumed he was older. But I think that was part of his schtick and mystique

Re: Eddie Money
The summer before my senior year of high school I worked at a Holiday Inn in Newark, OH. Eddie Money was in town to play at an outdoor music festival. He stayed at that hotel. I took a room service order to him. He was a bit of an ass and did not tip. The woman with him was hot.

Re: Eddie Money
OH yes she was. The 17 year old me was quite smitten. Her bikini was quite daring for 1979 as I remember.

Re: Cokie Roberts, 75
Sorry she died but I lost all respect for her years ago. Her reporting and commentary was vacuous at best. She was a voice of the elite and privileged.

Re: Neal Peart
I was surprised how many people reacted to my post on Facebook about his passing. I have been a fan since at least their second album in 1975. All of the members of Rush are interesting people. They are the type of rock star all should aspire to.
