Celebrity Deaths
Re: Celebrity Deaths
I totally disagree. He died before that car hit anything, that was NOT a crash you die from. I say he died of natural causes and the car went out of control. Kinda like "Big Kid" from this forum, he got to the side of the road, started to dial his phone, and collapsed. Not a totally bad way to go for either of these men, actually - just sad to see lives end at such a young age.

Jerry Lee Lewis, outrageous rock ‘n’ roll star, dies at 87

He will be remembered for his lifetime of hillbilly delirium, but he will be renowned for his seizure of the musical moment at the dawn of rock’n’roll, when an incomparable talent was his intoxicant and ours: when he shot up the old order and played out his defiant dramas on the keyboard, in the studio and on the stage.
He was an artist, true to his fire. For once, the Guardian says something that makes some sense. I don’t believe for a moment that he could have made the music he did if he’d been a different kind of person than he was. There’s a lesson in there but there’s no need to elaborate.
This may be an apocryphal story, but I read once that Little Richard had invited him to be his house guest for the weekend. When asked afterwards what it was like, he replied that it was fun having him but he didn’t sleep more than a couple hours and, if you were thinking of inviting him, you should “first, lock up your liquor and your women.”
Chantilly Lace was an effort to get us to appreciate all kinds of women. And for that I’m grateful.
Re: Celebrity Deaths
I agree. However, they left out that he, at 22, married his 13 year old cousin.

Re: Celebrity Deaths
I find it odd that people mention the last ten minutes of a 75 minute performance, but never note that Gallagher was the original "Jim Gaffigan" or "Jerry Seinfeld"; his observational comedy was every bit on the level of the more contemporary comedy names. His skit with the 10 foot high couch was unlike any I'd ever seen, before or since. I thought he was more original than anyone since.
Imagine doing half a show on roller skates.

Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, gone at 79. I had NO IDEA she was 17 years older than me. I'm starting to feel like my mother sounded, back when she'd talk of the greats of her past and how they are all gone.

Re: Celebrity Deaths
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds--and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
And while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
where do we get these stout-hearted men ?
