The RIP Thread...

[Paul B]

I might have to dig out my Macho Man bandanna for tomorrow in memoriam. I am also a teen of the 80's, many a night was spent watching werstling, I think I made it to 2 or 3 Wrestlemanias, on CCTV back then in the local arena. Good fun. Too bad my parents never got over the 'you know its fake.' bullshit. Yeah Dad, i KNOW.... sheesh. I also loved Pipers Pit and the whole Hulkamania deal. Anyone else remember or own the WWF music album? Derringer singing I am a real American? etc?

OHhhhhhhhhhh yahhhh. My dad was into it, he was cool. We wrastled bigtime!

 

[flushcut]

I'm happy his ordeal is over. Its a shame what happened with him, he was talented and seemed like a nice guy.

[MasterBlaster]

The godfather of rap? No shit? Never heard of the fellow or his title. I can only hope rap dies with him.

Second that!

 

[woodworkingboy]

I like a few Biggie Smalls songs, a couple from Snoop Dogg, that's about it.

Rap as in spoken word not idiots telling us how cool they are with their fancy cars, guns and beatches.

A bit of a controversial fellow:

"@News1130
A friend of Jack Kevorkian says the assisted suicide advocate has died at a Detroit-area hospital at the age of 83."

I never knew he was so tall! He was a good man, RIP old buddy!

John Wayne was originally offered the Gunsmoke role, but he passed it on to his buddy, James.

Clarence Clemons. He owned property here in Marathon and I know the guy that now, was, his fishing guide.They recently had a boat made just for him. I saw him once in the gym and once in the grocery store. When I saw him in the grocery store, on the bread isle, I simply thanked him for his music over the years. Sad

Let me ask you just one question when did he die?

 

[Tree Reb]

Isn't that link working?

Falk died on Thursday in his Beverly Hills home, he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

I think Rajan was making a Columbo joke. :roll:
