That's assuming they ever let Betty White die.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You forgot Betty white.

Mondull wrote the Federal law that enables anonymous malicious false reports of child abuse and protects the false reporters, https://abuse-excuse.com/laws/ . I am not sorry to see him gone, but will be charitable enough to leave it at that.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Bummer man!. I heard Jim Steinman passed.  The 1st Bat album was one of the greatest. I am glad He and Meat reconciled what ever differences they had before he passed.

There are songwriters, and then there is Jim Steinman.

Most songwriters come up with a few different musical ideas and choose which ones they think will sound the best. Jim Steinman would throw them all into one song and crank up the dynamics and dramatics to their fullest extent.

Jim Steinman was the first songwriter I totally connected with. It was like he was writing his songs for me. Like he crawled around in my brain, saw who I was and wrote songs from it.

I tried to get tickets for his Broadway show back in 04, but couldn’t, something I will always feel sad about.

Rest In Peace Mr. Steinman and thank you for all your music. I’ll miss you.

“For Crying Out Loud” and “Heaven Can Wait” are both incredible songs.
Ah, my senior year of high school is all wrapped up in that album. Sad to hear that Steinman is gone. Thankful for the music he left behind.

Lol mine too (that one and Boston's). He used musicians from what were my two favorite bands at the time - The E St Band and Utopia. Loved the sound they made.

Bob Fass
Icon of 1960s free-form radio dies at 87

Fass was the overnight personality on WBAI, the New York City station of far-left-wing Pacifica Radio. He was essentially given free rein over the time slot during his heyday in the 1960s and used that to experiment with records and to give an outlet to the city's counterculture and folk-rock scene. It was Fass who gave the big breaks to singers such as Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and Jerry Jeff Walker. Abbie Hoffman used the show as a springboard to launch the Youth International Party, or the Yippies, who eventually caused chaos at the 1968 Democratic convention.

Fass remained, on and off, host of his overnight radio show Radio Unnameable even as WBAI increasingly apportioned its schedule to token special interest groups against Fass's vision, and through countless waves of Pacifica's constant, usually self-inflicted, internal turmoil, exactly the kind of infighting one would expect from an organization run by a bunch of ideologically driven activists. He had remained on the air approximately once a week at the time of his death.

Fass died April 24 from congestive heart failure, complicated by coronavirus.

Pacifica Radio is like a miniature Stalinist Russia without a Cheka or Gulag system to remove squabbling rivals. Its operations are micro-Stalin vs. micro-Trotsky vs. micro-Bukharin vs. micro-...... . Sounds like Fass was not very well suited to that kind of environment.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

l admit I did find the backside of Meats Bat album cover a bit disturbing though.



LOL  I always thought the Front was disturbing!

I think I told this story before, that I had a chance meeting of Meat Loaf back in 1978 in the hallway at WLS in Chicago.  Bat was just hitting it big and he was in the studio with his entourage promoting the album with one of the DJ's.  Maybe Larry Lujack or Dick Biondi :shrug:  Anyway Meat was coming down the hall a dripping with sweat and wearing his red satin jacket.  Big guy the Meat...must have been 350 then.  Anyway I had to turn sideways to let him pass  And as he went by I said "Hey Meat".  He never looked at me but I distinctively heard him grunt back at me in response!.  The members of his entourage bringing up the read just gave me the stink eye.  And me being the smartass that I was gave them the "tip of the Hat" sign and moved on down to studio's glass cage to watch the DJ do his job!.

Christa Ludwig, illustrious German opera singer and one of the world’s finest mezzo sopranos, died on Saturday, 24 April. Here is an amusing video of a squabble she had with Leonard Bernstein over the tempo of the Mahler piece they were rehearsing.

Lol. Even a grunt from Mr Loaf when he was in his prime must been pretty awesome.

The odd thing is, like a battered wife, Fass stayed loyal to WBAI right to the bitter end.

Back in '77, they fired him (he was a paid employee at the time and was apparently trying to start a union; that should tell you how genuine Pacifica is in regard to their stated cause). So he went across the Hudson River to WFMU. At the time, WFMU was run by Upsala College. They were in the process of transitioning from a typical college station into the same kind of freeform format Fass was using—but Fass still wanted to go back to WBAI, and in 1982, he did, even without payment.

Fass was just as much of a lefty as anyone else at Pacifica, but he knew he wasn't there for himself. He was there to give a voice to those who he thought had something to say.
