Dude, you're 20 years into a 27 year sponsorship arrangement with the team - NOW you're suddenly shocked and offended!? Day late and a dollar short, Fedex - and when you're in express shipping, timing is everything! OK, I hand this thread back over to the recently departed - and just to keep on track, I give you: Benjamin Keough, gunshot suicide. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-07-12/grandson-of-elvis-presley-has-died-at-age-27-agent-says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Olivia de Havilland, Golden Age of Hollywood star, dies at 104 She made her breakthrough in Captain Blood, opposite Errol Flynn, and the pair developed an immediate chemistry.

cavanami Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Robert Trump, the president’s younger brother, dead at 71 President Donald Trump's younger brother, Robert Trump, a businessman known for an even keel that seemed almost incompatible with the family name, died Saturday night after being hospitalized in New York, the president said in a statement. He was 71. The president visited his brother at a New York City hospital on Friday after White House officials said he had become seriously ill. Officials did not immediately release a cause of death. "It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight," Donald Trump said in a statement. “He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/robert-trump-president-younger-brother-022805753.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 He lived a full life, I'm sure, in his 65 years: Eddie Van Halen is gone https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/eddie-van-halen-dead-200051/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 As good as Eddie Van Halen was, I wouldn’t place him at the same table as Stevie Vai or the 2 Joes Satriani and Bonomassa. He was in the wrong band, a West Coast hair band who were banded together with the likes of Motley Crue, Poison, Extreme etc, bands who wrote 3 Minute Pop Songs and had Mainstream Girls at their concerts when concerts, made much like the MCC and Garrick Club, were the last bastions of maledom. If you picked up a chick from a Sabbath or Motörhead gig you could be sure she would gargle before swallowing. Would Vai / Satriani / Bonomassa have recorded Jump or appeared on a Michael Jackson single? No way ... he was a Pop Star and not a Rock Icon.
