Is this the only place for reporting/discussing deaths @Cyber Liberty ?

Thanks.

"Notable" Obits can be posted as regular Topics in the appropriate Category...Obits we're OK with hearing about usually have their own Topics, because the Obit Thread is not the place for debate or speaking ill of the deceased.

No one @Wingnut   I simply thought Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee's death deserved more than a mention in an annual obit thread and sought current posting guidelines.

Pioneering Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee Dies at 102
Sunday, 16 January 2022 05:27 PM
Newsmax

Retired Brigadier General Charles McGee, part of the pioneering all-Black Tuskegee Airmen during World War Two and one of its most decorated pilots, died on Sunday at the age of 102, his family said in a statement.

McGee, who flew 409 combat missions spanning World War Two, Korea and Vietnam, died in his sleep Sunday morning, a family spokesperson said. "He had his right hand over his heart and was smiling serenely," his youngest daughter Yvonne McGee said in a statement released by the spokesperson.

"Today, we lost an America hero," Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Twitter. "While I am saddened by his loss, I'm also incredibly grateful for his sacrifice, his legacy and his character. Rest in Peace, General."  ...

Meat Loaf, ‘Bat Out of Hell’ Singer and Actor, Dies at 74

In his six-decade career, the singer, born Marvin Lee Aday, sold millions of albums and acted in films.

Jan. 21, 2022Updated 4:09 a.m. ET


Quote

Meat Loaf, the larger-than-life singer and actor whose 1977 album “Bat Out of Hell” was one of the best-selling albums of all time, died on Thursday. He was 74.

His death was announced on his official Facebook page. The statement said the musician’s wife was by his side and his friends had been with him in his final 24 hours. A cause of death was not given.

Meat Loaf, who was born Marvin Lee Aday on Sept. 27, 1947, had a career that few could match. In six decades, he sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, the statement said, and appeared in movies such as “Fight Club,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Wayne’s World.”

“We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man,” the statement said. “We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time.”

A full obituary will appear soon.

I do not know why I feel gutted by this. Yes, I had two of his records. Yes, I saw Rocky Horror at least ten times when  I was a teen.
Yes, I thought he made Jim Steinman’s lyrics  sparkle and shine, to the point I could get tears in my eyes.

Rest In Peace, and I hope your singing your heart out with all the other greats in Heaven.

@Smokin Joe

I suspect many more of us than most people would suspect.

Including damn near everyone that made a career out of military service.

I knew of him and his fellow fighter pilots decades ago. Maybe not as much as I know now,but I knew who they were.

@Gefn

He was ONE hell of a performer. He held back NOTHING when he was performing.

It wouldn't have hurt him to have toned down his ego a bit,but that IS who he was,so it may not have even been possible.

Then again,what do I know about having mega-talent like that? Chances are I would have been even more unbearable.

Viz. Meatloaf's death:  he was against vaccine mandates (although it's not clear at this point whether he himself was vaccinated or not), and apparently he was seriously ill with COVID at the time of his death.  Source:  https://nypost.com/2022/01/21/meat-loaf-was-ill-with-covid-days-before-his-death-report/

So, word to the wise:  get ready for a lot of full-court press b.s. from the left about how vaccines should be mandatory.

Meat Loaf said a few months ago when Jim Steinman passed: "We didn't know each other... we WERE each other."

As tumultuous as their bond was over the years, it was a pretty strong one, and you have to believe that it had an impact. Well, that, and being in his mid-70s and morbidly obese his whole life.

Quote



Iconic comedian Louie Anderson has died, after a battle with blood cancer ... TMZ has learned.

As we previously reported, Anderson had been battling this aggressive cancer. And, while it's not clear when he was diagnosed, the "Coming to America" star was recently being treated for Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a Vegas hospital.

Unfortunately, he lost that battle Friday morning ... according to his publicist.

Apparently, he died from taking ivermectin for Covid.  Oh wait, that never happened.

Including damn near everyone that made a career out of military service.

I knew of him and his fellow fighter pilots decades ago. Maybe not as much as I know now,but I knew who they were.
I guess the question should have been "how many under 30 know of the wars he fought in?"

Sure, those of us who have been around 50 years know, after all we mostly had relatives or friends who fought in those wars, if we did not do so ourselves, and for those in the services that knowledge is there as a matter of course.

But as the percentage of youth who enter the service becomes smaller, and movies like "Pork Chop Hill" fade into the back rows on streaming channels, how many who haven't served know of the battles from the Pusan Pocket to the Yalu and back to the current DMZ before the cease fire? How many could point out which end of Vietnam had I Corps or the Delta, or where the Parrots Beak is?
I hope I am wrong, but it seems that despite a lot of attempts to make the general population aware of the sweat and sacrifice of even modern day veterans, the usual suspects in the media tend to downplay that, especially in the face of situations like Biden's Afghanistan debacle, because any failure involved almost always belongs on the doorstep of Democrat politicians.

I do. The Parrots Beak is a mountain top that IIRC,is along the Laotian/Cambodian borders that overlooks the Ho Chi  Mihn Trail. Been inserted all around it when I was still running recon. The natives were NOT friendly.

Gives me the shivers to think about it.

 Meat Loaf was ‘seriously ill’ with COVID days before his death: report
By Lee Brown   
January 21, 2022 8:31am

Rock legend Meat Loaf was “seriously ill” with COVID-19 just days before his death Thursday, according to a report.

Sources told TMZ that the 74-year-old “Bat Out of Hell” star was due to attend a business dinner earlier this week for a show he is working on based on his classic hit, “I’d Do Anything for Love.”

But he canceled because he was seriously ill with COVID-19, with his condition soon becoming critical, the outlet’s sources said.

It was not clear if he had been vaccinated. Reps for the star did not immediately return requests for comment early Friday.

No cause of death was given in the announcement of his death on his official Facebook page.
