Rest in peace, he was also used often as a reference about rock and roll.  Often quoted.

Another one of my favorites by Dr. John is a Louis Jordan tune, called "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't" with BB King.

Body found in home confirmed to be missing Mouseketeer Dennis Day
By Joshua Rhett Miller

A body found at the Oregon home of an original member of Disney’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” has been confirmed to be former Mouseketeer Dennis Day, state police and relatives said.

Day, 76, who was among the show’s original cast of child actors in the 1950s, was reported missing in July by his husband, Ernie Caswell, who was hospitalized at the time and suffers from memory loss, the Oregonian reports.

A body was then found in April at Day’s home in Phoenix, Oregon, and state police confirmed Thursday that a medical examiner’s office has identified the remains as the missing man, who “uncharacteristically” left his dog with a friend prior to his disappearance, according to missing persons reports. ...

Oh, no!  One of my favorites.  I saw him with White Trash many years ago. 

A tribute to Dr. John:



That makes sense, since the Winter Bros and Mac were from Beaumont.
Later when Johnny Winter started making blues records on the Alligator label, Dr. John was on a few of his songs.

Not the same Dennis Day. Not even a relative. Doing our homework is our friend.

Was gonna say: that Dennis Day (a/k/a Gene McNulty) was a little older than that (despite Mr. Benny's protests to the contrary)!

Well, if Jack Benny could be 39 years old for about the last 49 years of his life, why couldn't the first Dennis Day be a naive late-teenage mama's boy for the middle thirty years of his life?  wink777

Acclaimed 'Star Trek' artist Keith Birdsong dies



Oklahoma artist Keith Birdsong, whose realistic likenesses of “Star Trek” actors made him one of the world’s most in-demand Trek illustrators, died Tuesday. He was 59.

Birdsong was born July 14, 1959, in Muskogee, where he spent much of his childhood. He had a residence in Tulsa at the time of his death.

....

Birdsong’s body of work includes hundreds of illustrations linked to the “Star Trek” franchise, including posters, book covers and collector plates. But he also was hired to provide likenesses of Elvis Presley and others for the U.S. Postal service. Some of his works are in the Smithsonian Institution, including a likeness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....

He was way too young.

Tony Rodham
Hillary Clinton's younger brother dies at 64

A college dropout and lifelong grunt, Rodham held jobs such as process server, repo man, private investigator and political operative. Largely surviving on political incest and nepotism, her sister Hillary married Bill Clinton while he married the daughter of senator Barbara Boxer; he benefited largely from cronyism and favors from his well-connected family members.

No cause of death was stated.

Poor guy.  A younger sibling should out live their olders.  May Hillary pass away soon to make up for his passing so early.  Hell is waiting for her

W.E.B. Griffin

I went back to February, he passed on Feb. 12, 2019, I saw no mention of this, this fellow was a fairly prolific writer of ? military and police novels? I know I have one of his books, "Close Combat" which isn't suppose to be one of his best.  I saw a picture of him with Gingrich too.

W.E.B. Griffith



It appears his series on the Marine Corps was well-received.



It's a bit strange that this one got my us, this is when one of the obits touched on Ballantine books. Maybe someone posted it about a week after.

@TomSea

NOBODY wrote better novels about the military than WEB Griffin. His books about the US Army that start before WW-2 and go though to the Muddle East were so well thought-of that he was made an honorary member of the Special Operations Association. At least some of his characters are composite characters of real men that served.

His series about the USMC (The Corps)  that began in pre-WW-2 China is a must-read series,too.

I honestly think I have read every book he has ever written,and was prepared to buy more.

He ranks right up there with Louis L'Amour as a writer,and I don't give praise higher than that.

Pat Bowlen
Owner of the Denver Broncos dies at 75



Bowlen, born into wealth through his father's oil company, owned the Denver Broncos from 1984 until his death. During his tenure his Broncos appeared in seven Super Bowls, three of them wins, and was one of the winningest teams in the NFL during that span. He is credited with nurturing a family atmosphere, maintaining close ties with Broncos alumni, including selling a portion of the team to his longtime starting quarterback John Elway after Elway's retirement.

Bowlen had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for approximately nine years prior to his death at age 75 on June 13. He died a month before he was to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. An estate fight is expected, as Bowlen was unsure of which of his children would want to inherit the team, and two of them (both daughters) have stepped forward; in the meantime, the team will be held in trust by Elway and CEO Joe Ellis.

I saw Romeo and Juliet as a teenager.  For us kids it was the in movie to see  at the time.  Leonard Whiting (Romeo) was a hunk and the girls went crazy over him.  The film itself was ok -- more of a modern retelling of the story, which didn't go over well with purists.  The film did win a few awards.

Rest in peace, Mr. Zefferelli
