The day the music died.

Tom Lehrer.

If you know, you know.

I remember his "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" on the Doctor Demento radio show many years ago!

Everybody's Mom just passed, she was over 100.

Good-bye June Lockhart, no more "Lost in Space" or "Lassie" reunions now...

I hate to say it, but I presumed she was long gone. May she rest in peace, what a long wonderful life.

Sad news for anyone who has ever traveled near or lived in Philly, Pierre Robert has died. This guy was a fixture, at Philly's venerable 93.3 WMMR, for probably close to 45 years. One of those true landmark DJ's, who anchors a station through many other changes over the decades.

I'm not sure why this popped up on my YouTube feed this evening, I'm not exactly a fan of Blondie or disco, but I still thought this one was pretty cool. Of course we all know Debbie Harry 1975 - 1980, but I'd never seen her before or after that brief window of popularity.

Without a doubt, a beautiful woman at all ages.

I never liked the Dead, but have to admit they must have been one of the hardest-working bands of all time. I know a lot of bands who did 200 shows per year for several years, or even a decade or more, but the Dead kept up a very busy live show schedule for what... 35 years? Those dudes worked!

I wasn't a fan either. One or two songs at best and have explored the in different times of my life.
Never understood Deadheads
But you are right about their work ethic.

Appropriate for this thread....
Many years ago, my mom told me my grandpa had died that day. I was quite upset, got in my car, and took a drive. The first song that came on was this...
