Looks like he meant something to you 😳

He was the radio announcer for my hometown Major League Baseball team, Milwaukee Brewers. I grew up, listening to him call all the games.

First time I have ever heard Milwaukee and Global used together 😂

I admit, I’m not the sharpest tack, but I don’t understand where global came in. Could be my old age and the barrels of alcohol that have been consumed.

Check the title of the thread 😂

Probably lived longer than she should have.

In 1969 Faithfull came to Australia with Jagger who'd been chosen to play the lead role in the film Ned Kelly. A short time into the visit she overdosed, falling into a six-day coma. It was a strange experience she recalled, claiming that while she was unconscious she met former Rolling Stone Brian Jones, who'd died a month earlier.
