The RIP Thread...

[Ryan]

My van has a tape player which I've started using since the CD player is reluctant to eject discs. I had an adapter for the cassette deck to run my walkman (mp3) but it calved so now I'm going thru a suitcase of old tapes. Not so easy to skip songs which is a nice change.

What? Obviously you don't have the auto music sensor feature then. lol. I laugh because it consistently works inconsistently in my truck. As in I'll be like that song f-cking rocked I'm gonna listen to it again so I hit the rewind and it goes back two songs.

[Stumpshot]

Heard he would wear out a pick per song and throw it out into the crowd as a souvenir. Next song, new pick.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Kinda hard to wear out a pick, but I imagine he was tossing them!!!

Tim Conway & Doris Day both gone this week, 85 and 97.

He was a really funny guy.





I remember seeing Doris Day in Calamity Jane when I was a kid and always liked this song.

I was surprised DD was even alive.

 

[Cobleskill]

I was surprised Peggy Lipton wasn't on yet. 5-11-19. My sister told me last night.

 

[Mellow]

The Mod Squad chick. I remember her. She was a cutie.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Not familiar with that Gal.

A bit before my time.


If you have ever watched a movie you have been exposed to her ex-husband's work however.


Quincy Jones.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I remember Peggy... those bedroom eyes.

[FireFighterZero]

Oh no!

Thousands owe their lives to him.

 

[stig]

Once again, I don't get you?

 

[FireFighterZero]

I always thought that he and Jackie Stewart were safety crusaders?

 

[Burnham]

You lost me there too, Jim. I think, but could be mistaken, that you are being sarcastic. If so, take a few minutes and inform yourself of Lauda's history.

If not, my apologies.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I watched a documentary about him.......


I was under the impression that after his near fatal wreck in crappy conditions...under extreme pressure to race....he was a drivers safety advocate.

Not to the extent that Stewart was....but still an advocate.


My apologies if incorrect!
