I had to read this and was surprised at what I found. A living and vibrant community that was as loving towards each other as any church. Here are some of the comments about his passing. No more fitting of a Eulogy could ever be expressed:
And I just want to say this: I know that we squabble and fuss over Belief, Unbelief, and the importance of it all for humans, but I must say that I am learning more each time I read some of the comments from the other side from my beliefs. You guys are better "Christians" than the so-called real Christians. And my God, if GOD exists surely sees this and loves you every bit as much as any one of us. jar might be right. The goats just might be mostly "Christians". Any comments? Direct them here:

I remember this song from when I was growing up and respect her so much more now as I finally am growing up in regards to social progress, women in general as well as other minority groups, and the celebration of a sweet individual."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.- Dr.John Lennox The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.- Criss Jami, Killosophy

Old Mac, whom I remember way back when I was growing up, al;so wrote for modern artists like Bruno Mars: (He wrote the hook in this song:

I liked that guy! Death is always an eventual reality. Yesterday I found out that my 97 year old Mom tested positive for COVID19. I cried and am crying, so bare with me if I seem like a bit of an asshole today. I'm mad! SO far she only has a mild fever, though. Our loved ones and the wider society of notoriety are all that we have.

Watch Charley Pride’s Final Performance at the 2020 CMA Awards – Rolling Stone
n November 11th, Charley Pride took the stage at the 2020 Country Music Association Awards to receive the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor the organization gives out to an iconic artist who has attained the highest degree of recognition in Country Music. Pride, of course, was a natural choice for the award. He had received the CMA’s Entertainer of the Year in 1971, and his ground-breaking career has included becoming RCA’s bestselling artist since Elvis Presley, with 70 million records sold. Pride appeared at the CMA Awards alongside Jimmie Allen another star who is working to break country music boundaries just as Pride did 50 years ago. They performed Kiss an Angel Good Morning’, a 1971 Number One hit for Pride. In the audience, Eric Church watched with a grin as Ashley McBryde danced. Onstage, Pride humbly acknowledged that he was nervous as can be. During a press conference backstage, he recalled something producer Cowboy Jack Clement told him: He said, ‘Charley, these songs we recorded right now, 50 years from now, you’ll be able to play them and they’’ll love them.’ I looked at him and I said, ’50 years?’ Anyway. It was Pride’s last performance. On Saturday, it was announced that Pride died from complications due to Covid-19. So far, he has received tributes from artists including Dolly Parton, who tweeted: I’m so heartbroken that one of my dearest and oldest friends, Charley Pride, has passed away. It’s even worse to know that he passed away from COVID-19. What a horrible, horrible virus. Charley, we will always love you.

yes i saw that too. Sadly she will live on only in eternal reruns. For most of us, that is. Hopefully for those close to her she will live eternally in their hearts.
She was 82.
Not bad for a TV show that lasted but 3 years.

I was ready to argue with you a bit until I saw where Starr defended Jeffrey Epstein.
The only thing I will say is that it seems that Liberals are much slower to forgive and forget than Conservatives. Of course, I defended Ravi until the evidence showed that he was as much of a scoundrel as you always claimed. Likely the same with Starr."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

I don't really understand why he defended Epstein. That's as much of a career risk as defending OJ Simpson.

I was not referring to Starr. I was referencing in general.

Man! All of our sweethearts are dying so young!
