Ok,who here DOESN'T want to see Keef on an episode of "The Walking Dead"?

What a hoot THAT would be.

I am guessing that if asked,he would laugh and say "Hell,YEAH!"

Well, the lady made famous in Grand Funk’s “We’re An American Band”, Connie Hamzy isn’t “ doing her act” anymore.  Sweet, sweet Connie, forever immortalized by Grand Funk, has passed away at 66.  Maybe only a footnote in rock and roll history, but that’s more than most of us can say.  At least Charlie Watts will have some company.

Willard Scott, Legendary TODAY Weatherman, Dies at 87


Quote

The legendary TODAY weatherman known for his exuberant personality and launching the tradition of celebrating fans who reached the century mark — died this week, TODAY's Al Roker has confirmed. He was 87 years old.

Scott, who joined TODAY in 1980, may have been best known for wishing happy birthday to fans turning 100, a feature that soared in popularity over the years, with images of centenarians appearing on Smucker's jelly jars while Scott recognized them in front of millions of viewers.

September 6, 2021
 By Haley Strack

A tainted batch of fentanyl-laced cocaine killed comedian Fuquan Johnson and two other victims and left comedian Kate Quigley hospitalized on Sunday night, amid a growing crisis of fentanyl surging across the southern border.

Johnson and fellow comedians Enrico Colangeli and Natalie Williamson died at a Venice home on Sunday as the result of an apparent overdose, TMZ reported. In a screenshot shared to Twitter, Quigley, former girlfriend of singer-songwriter Darius Rucker, told a friend she was “not great” but was “Ok.” ...  The Federalist

Jean-Paul Belmondo, the battered face of French New Wave cinema, dies aged 88
Published 6th September 2021

The legendary French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo has died aged 88, his lawyer, Michel Godest, said on Monday.

The cause of his death was not disclosed.

The son of French sculptor Paul Belmondo and painter Sarah Rainaud-Richard, Belmondo was born into an artistic family in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1933, Reuters reports.  ...

But he was best known for his breakthrough performance as the dangerous yet romantic criminal Michel in the 1960 film "Breathless," where he worked with film director Jean-Luc Godard and starred alongside American actress Jean Seberg.
Belmondo soon became a vanguard of "La Nouvelle Vague" or New Wave -- a French cinematic movement in the 1950s and 60s, where practitioners used experimental narrative and stylistic techniques to revolutionize the big screen. ... CNN

@Free Vulcan

At that age,I think it is more a case of fulfilling a death wish than it is an accidental death.
The man was a VERY talented actor,and had it all going for him and decided to piss it away by acting like a foolish teenager.

BTW,I used to take practically every drug known to mankind back when I was in my early 20's. I came out of it one day and realized I had MAYBE lost a whole year,maybe even more,that I knew nothing of. Had no idea where,if anywhere I had be living or working,and didn't even remember buying the car I owned.

That was the day I decided too much was enough,and other that whacky tabaccy and prescription medicine for specific illnesses,have never taken another drug. I even quit smoking and drinking.

I quit smoking pot several years later after coming down with COPD.

After all,how much fun COULD I have been  having when I wasn't able to remember any of it?

I also have to admit I can personally take no real credit for doing this. I was lucky enough to be born without an addictive personality. Most people seem to not be this lucky.

Remembering legendary attorney Walter Umphrey
JEFFERSON COUNTY — Legendary attorney Walter Umphrey, who helped pioneer asbestos litigation and represented the interests of Southeast Texans for more than 50 years, has died. He was 85 years old.

Clayton Thompson Funeral Home in Groves confirms with KFDM/Fox 4 that "Walter Umphrey died today at his home in Beaumont, surrounded by his loving family."

Funeral arrangements are pending with Clayton-Thompson.

Umphrey was born in Southeast Texas but his legal accomplishments and skill, and the work of his law firm, were known across the nation.


His firm was one of five in the state that helped win a landmark lawsuit against the tobacco industry.

==================================================================

Not exactly a household name nationally, but if you have ever lived in SE Texas or SW Louisana, you should be  very familar with this iconic lawyer.
Was never a big fan of tort lawyers, but it was always hard not to respect this guy's work, and what he was able to accomplish.

He might be a low life turd, but respect does not always translate to like. 

Here is another example, I respect the fact that WJC maybe the most talented politican in our lifetimes.  But he is still a lowlife.

Another example.....  Patton respected Rommel.  He was the enemy but.....

And as a manager at a petrochemical plant, not telling how much he cost me in dividends, and raises due to lawsuits.

I hope you are getting the picture.

There was more to it than that. People who had sent their kids to college on 5-10 acre tobacco farms' yields now were all signed up to NOT produce the cash crop grown there since colonial days. (Tobacco was accepted as payment for taxes in some of the colonies, and as good as cash.)
You aren't going to make much money off of 5 acres of corn or soybeans.
A way of life, especially where I grew up, died out.

About the only folks there still growing tobacco are the Mennonites, who didn't sign agreements to not grow tobacco, but who are willing to grow what is still a labor intensive cash crop.

Michael Constantine, Windex-loving dad in ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding,’ dies at 94

Michael Constantine, an Emmy-winning character actor who played a wry high school principal on the TV series “Room 222” and starred three decades later as the Windex-obsessed, endearingly overbearing dad in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” died Aug. 31 at his home in Reading, Pa. He was 94.

His agent, Julia Buchwald, confirmed the death but did not give a cause.

That was a nice opening sequence and theme song.
 Constantine was one of those actors you'd see in guest appearances occasionally (twice in "Law and Order," and many other series). Quite a body of work.

Norm Macdonald, whose laconic delivery of sharp and incisive observations made him one of Saturday Night Live‘s most influential and beloved cast members, died today after a nine-year private battle with cancer. He was 61.

Macdonald’s death was announced to Deadline by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him when died, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends and fans.

“He was most proud of his comedy,” Hoekstra said. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.” ...

Damn..

Sad to hear this.  Norm was an SNL alum who escaped the clinches of lefty bias.

My favorite work of his was "Dirty Work".  Cult classic that has some of the best deadpan of the '90's.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.  Note:  Posts may also be allegorical in nature, and not literal.

We know exactly who is to blame for this... you guessed it: Frank Stallone.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I never saw the Greek Wedding movie, but remembered him from Room 222.

@mountaineer

Please rent the Greek Wedding movie. You’ll really like it.

I remember him from both. Rest In Peace

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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.

Norm had some funny stuff, made me laugh hard more than once.

Really sad to see good talent go that young.
