In Memoriam

[Vrede too]

I think I only watched it with my little sister......may as well confess to having a man crush on Mark Lindsey of Paul Revere and the Raiders; I wished I looked like him and that my parents would let me grow my hair like his was; he had a little ponytail.....this was around the same time as the Monkees

Everyone needs a little tail.

that is so, except as I get older I find that I am losing my own; beginning to suspect I am descended from the inhabitants of a small Pacific island called No Tail Atoll

For those about to Rock we salute you

[Vrede too]

Thanks. Great song, great 2009 live version, great video production of it.

Aged 64. (Malcolm)Young left AC/DC in April 2014, to receive treatment for dementia. In September 2014, the band's management announced that he would be retiring permanently. He died from the disease on 18 November 2017. Tragic.

Rock In Peace

Dale’s signature guitar style was the result of a happy accident. Most guitars are strung for a right-handed player. Dale, a lefty, originally picked up the guitar upside down so he could play naturally — without restringing the instrument, leaving the thicker strings on the bottom of the fret board. “[N]obody told me I was holding it wrong,” Dale explained to the Orange County Register in 2009. “I just taught myself to play it like that. It was hard at first.”

I had no idea.

He, Marlin Perkins, Cousteau and the very few like them were our only treehugger icons back before treehugging was cool.

RIP

Peggy Lipton, 'Mod Squad' and 'Twin Peaks' star, dies at 72

Peggy Lipton, 'Mod Squad' and 'Twin Peaks' star, dies at 72

Awwww

I remember when that show came out; it was quite a novel take on the standard cop show like Dragnet (I always thought it was cool that the badge number at the start of Dragnet was 714, the same number Rorer put on the Quaalude). Anyway, I only watched Mod Squad once or twice but Peggy was certainly my favorite of the three. RIP

Peggy Lipton, 'Mod Squad' and 'Twin Peaks' star, dies at 72

Awwww

I was never a fan of either show.

I didn’t know that she married Quincy Jones in 1974, which was a pretty “mod” thing to do back then. It’s almost like she hooked up with Linc irl.

[O Really]

Never was a fan of "Mod Squad" but "Twin Peaks" was a fave for its too-short life.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located on the shores of Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

RIP. I wonder if he designed his own grave or if someone else will have to meet that challenge.
