Joseph Shabalala has died.
Joseph Shabalala, Ladysmith Black Mambazo founder, dies aged 78 | Music | The Guardian As we have connections to South Africa we have developed an affinity to the music of the townships. We were able to see him and his group perform while were in SA. He and his group Ladysmith Black Mombazo first came to prominence in the USA through Paul Simon's Graceland album.

I just finished reading a book about Apollo 8, the first trip around the moon. What an amazing accomplishment, thanks largely to the "hidden figures" like Katherine Johnson.

I've got the movie "Hidden Figures" on my Amazon video page. Very inspiring story. Nice she lived so long.

Great actor.
He brought gravitas, somehow combined with fun to whatever role he played. Hence he could raise something like Escape to Victory to something a lot more than it would otherwise have been, and still make something like The Seventh Seal the amazing piece of work it is. A genius with very little pretension. Rest in peace.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

I haven't seen that film for ages. The script writers didn't do Robert Howard's character justice I have to say. But I'll dig it out again, to honour Max :-)

NPR writes: Country music icon Kenny Rogers, whose hits included "Lucille," "Lady" and "The Gambler," died late Friday at his home in Sandy Springs, Ga., his family said in a statement. He was 81. The Houston-born country star had 20 No.-1 hits and three Grammys and performed for some 60 years before retiring from touring in 2017 at age 79, according to the Associated Press. Rogers didn't write most of his hits and often said he didn't consider himself much of a songwriter. But he told NPR in 2012 that he had a knack for picking songs that could draw in the listener. I always liked him.The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.Calvin Coolidge "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.-RC Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith - You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
