@Gefn
I had no idea he was anywhere close to being 94 years old.

Me too, @sneakypete

What a talented actor he was. RIP.

Woodstock festival co-creator Michael Lang dies

 Associated Press - Updated: 3:42 p.m. on Sunday, January 9, 2022

NEW YORK — Michael Lang, a co-creator and promoter of the 1969 Woodstock music festival that served as a touchstone for generations of music fans, has died.

Michael Pagnotta, a spokesperson for Lang’s family, said Sunday the 77-year-old had been battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma and passed away Saturday at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

“He was absolutely a historic figure, and also a great guy,” Pagnotta, who said he had known Lang for about 30 years, told The Associated Press. “Both of those things go hand in hand.”

Along with partners Artie Kornfeld, John Roberts and Joel Rosenman, Lang put together the festival billed as “three days of peace and music” in the summer of 1969 as the Vietnam War raged and led increasing numbers of disaffected young Americans to turn away from traditional mores and embraced a lifestyle that celebrated freedom of expression.

Roughly 400,000 people descended on the hamlet of Bethel, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of New York City and endured miles-long traffic jams, torrential rains, food shortages and overwhelmed sanitary facilities. More than 30 acts performed on the concert’s main stage at the base of a hill on land owned by farmer Max Yasgur, and concertgoers were treated to iconic performances from artists including Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, The Who and Jefferson Airplane...........

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I wouldn't call Bob Saget a comedian.  But 65 is early for anyone.

Marilyn Bergman, award-winning lyricist, has died at 93
By Raja Razek and Dakin Andone, CNN
Updated 6:17 PM ET, Sat January 8, 2022
Quote
Award-winning lyricist Marilyn Bergman died Saturday morning at her home in Los Angeles, according to her daughter Julie Bergman. She was 93.

Along with her husband and collaborator Alan, Bergman was nominated for 16 Academy Awards over the course of her career and won three, including for the song "The Way We Were" from the 1973 film that shared its name and starred Barbra Streisand. The song -- with music by composer Marvin Hamlisch -- also won two Grammys.

"She has been declining for the last couple of years, and in the last several weeks, it was clear that she was getting ready to leave, and she died very peacefully without any pain or struggle," Julie Bergman told CNN in a phone call. "My father and I were with her, and it was beautiful, and she looked beautiful, and it was very peaceful."

Bergman had "some pneumonia which leads to respiratory failure in patients like this," her daughter said.  ...

Dick Carson, Director on ‘The Tonight Show’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ Dies at 92
J. Kim Murphy
Variety
Quote
Dick Carson, a TV director who worked on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and was the younger brother to the show’s host, died on Dec. 19, 2021 following a brief illness. He was 92 years old.

Carson’s death was announced by his family through publicist Charlie Barrett.

Born on June 4, 1929 in Clarinda, Iowa, Richard Charles Carson was the youngest of three children to Homer Lloyd and Ruth Hook Carson.

Carson began his career working in Nebraska radio before relocating to San Diego to serve at the NBC affiliate KOGO TV. Beginning work as a “floor man,” Carson worked his way up to directing commercials and local news and sports shows. Carson moved to Los Angeles in 1960 to take on a position directing children’s television programs like “Chucko the Birthday Clown” and “The Soupy Sales Show.”

Dick Carson was recommended by his brother, Johnny Carson, to join the N.Y. crew of “The Tonight Show” in the months before Carson would take over hosting duties. Carson directed musical talent, guest appearances and sketches featuring the show’s host....

Robert Durst, Convicted Murderer and ‘The Jinx’ Subject, Dies at 78
More here:
Quote
... Robert Durst, the bizarre New York real estate scion and long suspected serial killer recently convicted in his pal’s murder, has died. He was 78.

Durst was sentenced to life in prison in October for the execution-style killing of his longtime confidant Susan Berman, and soon after he was indicted for the 1982 murder of his wife, Kathleen Durst.

Durst’s lawyer confirmed his passing, telling ABC News that his client’s death “was due to natural causes” from his many medical issues.

His health had been failing for some time. Late last year he was placed on a ventilator after testing positive for COVID-19. He had also battled bladder cancer.

The Westchester native was born into one of New York’s wealthiest families — but became best known for his ties to numerous headline-grabbing misdeeds, including the disappearance of his wife and the murders of his best friend and a neighbor in Texas. ...

At least his 'life in prison' was short saving the taxpayers lots of money.

Truly makes you wonder doesn't it?? 

Hubby and I just had a discussion at lunch again as to whether or not to vaccinate because FL is seeing such a high number of cases.

Bottom line is neither one of us trusts the government nor the vaccines, so we're still of the same thinking on this. 

Both of us are over 60, I have heart issues and other health problems and he has diabetes and heart issues....we just can't bring ourselves to getting the jab.  :shrug:

Absolutely I agree, dying in your sleep is definitely much better than fighting pain and illness and then finally dying. You don't get to make plans or get final issues in order when you leave this earth in your sleep, but it's a peaceful way to go.

Ronnie Spector, Beloved Ronettes Singer, Dead at 78


Quote

Ronnie Spector, the leader of the girl group the Ronettes and the voice behind immortal classics like “Be My Baby” and “Walking in the Rain,” died Wednesday after a brief battle with cancer. She was 78.

“Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humor and a smile on her face,” her family said in a statement. “She was filled with love and gratitude. Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her.

Spector sang with the Ronettes from their formation in 1959 through their dissolution in 1967, though there were several reunions over the past few decades. Working with Phil Spector, they recorded many of the greatest songs of the girl group era. They separated in 1972 and she chronicled the painful chapter of her life in the 1990 memory Be My Baby. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Last year, “Be My Baby” ranked at Number 22 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
