He was 94. Poitier, winner of the best actor Oscar in 1964 for “Lilies of the Field,” died Thursday at his home in Los Angeles, according to Latrae Rahming, the director of communications for the Prime Minister of Bahamas. Truly an American Icon. He will be missed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I remember seeing him on an HBO special of young comedians; I am thinking it was a show that Rodney Dangerfield hosted. I thought Saget was really funny. I never got into his TV shows and really did not get into the Funniest Home Videos show because I felt it was too scripted for him. He just did a show in Jacksonville, FL last night. I had seen that his early shows on this tour were getting great reviews. https://myfox8.com/news/entertainment/bob-saget-star-of-full-house-dead-at-65/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 4 p.m., investigators responded to the hotel and found him in his room. He died at the scene. “Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case,” the sheriff’s office said. Hmm. Too young. Way too young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 One of the great voices of the 60's......There is a video of a live performance of Be My Baby. She sounds great in it. The Ronettes also sing my favorite version of Sleigh Ride, which is also one of my favorite Christmas songs.

swordfish Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 SF truly loved both of these entertainers. Bill O'reilly says it best about Meatloaf's passing and the left's infatuation with his anti-mandate opinion. https://www.billoreilly.com/b/Goodbye-Meat-Loaf/-609953651867973177.html?fbclid=IwAR1Hvp67Tsc8bvtKJEldTJi8dR6pLWdpo3Y4EFUHvRMVovBySVV2V1rIRyA This morning, singer and actor Meat Loaf became the latest addition to the sad list of iconic celebrities lost in 2022. Many media outlets are highlighting his accomplishments, noting his milestones in music and film. But some media outlets have decided to use Meat Loaf's passing as a Covid lesson as it's speculated that the virus was the cause of the 74-year-old singer's death. Last year Meat Loaf voiced his frustrations with mandates, expressed pandemic fatigue, and vowed to live his life despite the risks of the virus. In other words, Meat Loaf was a human trying to deal with the current state of the world. The fact is no one knows the "Bat Out of Hell" singer's vaccination status, not yet. So it's a shame that some questionable media would take his life's accomplishments and try to paint him as only a cautionary tale when he accomplished so much.

Irishman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I just finished watching the 4th season of Goliath.

Irishman Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 This one hit really hard. It was the first thing in my timeline when I woke up this morning. Taylor was one of the premier drummers of all time. Oddly enough, he was in the same band with another one of those drummers in Dave Grohl. I loved seeing them perform live. This clip is from the last show they played at Deer Creek, and is a good example of his talent. I did not record this, but was at the show. RIP Taylor and thank you for sharing your talent with so many fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have posted tributes about other celebrities who have passed that also had personal issues; but no one chose to be a dick and make comments along those lines. Instead of looking at the flaws, we look at the contributions they made. Must be tough for you to be so flawless as to feel an obligation to point out the flaws of others. Had you posted about the shows in Alaska in one of the covid related topics, or when the story actually came out 7 months ago, no big deal at all. But to post it where and when you did is just a dick move on your part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
