I'm still disappointed there are no automats. And that museums get angry if you try and stay overnight.

Now I'm having flashbacks. LORDY, did I love that book when I was a kid.

Richie Havens. Boo.

His set at Woodstock was classic. When I think Woodstock, I think Richie Havens.

Allan Arbus, who played psychiatrist Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H, has died. Sidney was one of my favorite recurring characters on that show.

Wow, he was 95, a good long run. RIP.

One of my co-workers just told me George Jones died this morning. I took my parents to see him back in the day. He put on a very good show. I'll miss him. George Jones, King of the Broken Hearts.

Richard LeParmentier, the guy who was Force choked by Darth Vader for having a disturbing lack of faith, passed away.

Chris Kelly from Kriss Kross, age 34.

whatthedeuce Wed May 01, 2013 11:54 pm

Dead at 34? That's a shame. I wanted to wear my clothes backwards for a second cuz of him and Chris Smith.

Cutebutpsycho Thu May 02, 2013 2:21 pm

Damn shame that. I remember loving their first album as a kid.

whatthedeuce Thu May 02, 2013 10:02 pm

I'm pretty sure I thought he was cute as hell back in the day. So sad that he passed away so young. I believe a drug overdose is now the likely cause of death.

Jeff Hanneman, Slayer guitarist. Liver failure, but I think it probably had something to do with the spider bite a couple of years ago. It gave him necrotising fasciitis, which nearly killed him.

Either way, I know what I'll be listening to tonight. RIP.

Wow -- I didn't even know he was still alive. A legend indeed.

Aw, I need to watch some Sinbad and Clash of the Titans. I loved his work, RIP.

Those Sinbad stop motion movies were the Sunday afternoon movie almost every week in the 70s on one channel or another. And the sword-fighting skeleton still freaks me out a wee bit.

I remember those well and I too was squicked by the skeletons!

I didn't realize he was still alive, but I'm still sad and surprised to hear about his passing. The man was a genius.
