    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Spinal Tap has lost yet another drummer, though this time not due to a bizarre gardening accident, spontaneous combustion or the accidental choking on the vomit of another person. Mick Shrimpton, who allegedly also went by the name Ric Parnell, has died, aged only 70...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Canadian hockey legand Guy Lafleur has died, aged only 70. No cause of death was given, but he had suffered from heart ailments and cancer in the recent past. He was notorious for his smoking (What Quebecker was not???). He essentially quit hockey at age 33 as the Canadiens wanted him to...

    I was not familiar with the the name of the musician, and the song title was only vaguely familiar. Then I played the song. Ah, yes, that guy! Canadian musician and songwriter Jerry Doucette has died, aged only 70...

    We finally watched Lawrence of Arabia, 50th Anniversary blu-ray, in its 60th anniversary year! Thought the disk was wonky, as there was no picture for 5 minutes. Turns out, it is a literal copy of the theatrical release, with the orchestral build up AND full intermission. At the start, I...
