Whiter Shade of Pale is a great song. Best of indeed. Trower was the highlight.

Mark Lanegan of The Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age died at 57.

Sally Kellerman has passed away, at 84 years old. She was great in Back To School. Pretty good looking too. I never realized it was her in the movie M.A.S,H. but it has been awhile since I've seen it.

Gary Brooker rest in peace.

Here he is with Procol Harum and Josh Phillips (in the Matthew Fisher role as organist) along wiith the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Choir

He played piano in the Paul McCartney led band for the Concert of Kampuchea. Along with Denny Laine, Pete Townshend, Dave Edmunds, Bruce Thomas, James Honeyman-Scott, Billy Bremner, Howie Casey, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, Kenny Jones and John Bonham among others.

Then he played keyboards with the Eric Clapton led band and sang "Old Brown Shoe" in the Concert For George.

Edit: I added their performance of "Conquistador" also from Denmark.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

That concert for the people of Kampuchea was a great one. I remember seeing it on some cable channel a long time ago, and the song that I remember most was called "Lucile" , I do believe. Things of that magnitude don't happen anymore, or if they do, I have no clue who the musicians are anymore.

note: I can't spell Kampuchea, so I copied and pasted.

William Hurt died earlier today at 71. His Broadcast News performance is a classic for me.

So sad about William Hurt ..

Body Heat (1981) and The Big Chill (1983) for me.

With Kathleen Turner and Richard Crenna.

Kevin Cosner's scenes were edited out. To the cutting room floor.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I forgot about Body Heat. That was a steamy flick.
Back when Kathleen Turner was hot, and didn't look like a drag queen.

RIP William Hurt. He was a talented actor with great range. I remember him doing a nice job playing quirky, oddball, and unconventional characters. Altered States is a favorite of mine.

Rest In Peace, Scott Hall

Another wrestler. That group of celebrities seems to loose so many from it's circle, it's a damn shame.

I just read the other day that Bobbi Nelson, Willie Nelson's 91 year old piano playing sister just passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. I never knew he had a piano playing sister, and according to the article, she played with her brother, not sure if it was studio, tour, or both.

I was surprised by this. I guess there isn't much to say, except rest in piece. I wasn't a huge fan, but I did like some of their music. I just hope they will be able to continue as a band.

I just saw this. I sort of remember him, but I'm not sure. In any case, If he was in those movies, he was a good mobster. R.I.P. Mr. Herman.

I don't remember much more about the man, other then the famous "Convoy" song., But I sure remember the song, had the 45rpm, and saw the movie when I was a kid, long before I ever stepped into one. R.I.P. Mr. McCall, you sure left a mark.

And 93 years old, way to make it to a ripe old age.

Fairly iconic song. Convoy was one of Sam Peckinpah's fun movies. I've seen it many times. RIP CW McCall

Gilbert Gottfried has died.

I heard about that. RIP Anybody got any Gilbert jokes? He'd be the last guy complaining "too soon". I wonder how many gigs he will be fired from in the afterlife. He can roast Hitler then Hitler can roast him. Fair is fair, right?

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Wow. He was one of those guys, you never think about not being there, because when you least expect it, here comes that voice, or that face. He will be missed, he was an annoying guy, but funny as hell.
R.I.P. Gilbert

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Gilbert was a regular on Howard Stern way back when when Howard was funny. Anyway, he did a great Bela Lugosi impersonation. Not Dracula Lugosi but Morphine addicted Bela.
