I think he tarnished his reputation and legacy by lying to get the US to invade Iraq. I believe he regretted doing so but he put the GOP ahead of what truly right.

All I said was I liked his performances, I didn’t think that was too over the top.
Gavan O’Herlihy, who played the oldest Cunningham son on ‘Happy Days,’ dies at 70
The interesting factoid about O’Herlihy’s character, Chuck Cunningham, is that after the first two seasons he was written out of the program as they started focusing more on Fonzie. From that point on, Howard and Marion C. only had two kids — Richie (played by Ron Howard) and his kid sister Joanie — and Chuck was never mentioned or acknowledged again.

Deborah Pratt, who voiced Ziggy, is still alive.
Graeme Edge, Moody Blues’ Drummer and Co-Founder, Dead at 80
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day’s useless energy is spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
RIP Graeme Edge.

Just saw this on my newsfeed. When I was a kid, my brother, my best friend and I played “the Monkees” with a couple of the girls on our street. I was Davy Jones, and the girls used to chase me. Good times….
Rest in peace, Mr. Nesmith.

Bob Saget, Full House Star and Stand-Up Comedian, Dead at 65
Saget was found dead in an Orlando hotel room
“found dead in hotel room” has become a somewhat prevalent and truly depressing phrase.
At least, the following line in the story about Saget was this.
“Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.”
so fingers crossed his cause of death will not turn out to be drug overdose.

I think it will be either a heart attack or stroke as the cause of death.

I remember hearing the song “Bat Out of Hell” on the radio, running out to buy the album, then telling anyone who would listen that this guy Meat Loaf was the Next Bruce Springsteen!!
Well, I was a bit off about that prediction, but BAT OUT OF HELL was a damned good album, and Meat Loaf was a passionate entertainer. Rest In Peace, Marvin Lee Aday.
Meat Loaf was the Next Bruce Springsteen!!
they both used the same piano player. Roy Bittan played on both Born to Run and Bat out of Hell.
His name is Robert Paulsen.
its Paulson, Rob Paulsen is a voice actor.

Yes, it seems to be a rather clumsy translation of “disparition” as used in the context of someone’s demise rather than disappearance.

A career spanning 8 decades is a great achievement. Still sad to hear he is away as he was still working on a fairly regular basis.
