A tough one, and a real shocker: https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/norm-macdonald-dead-dies-snl-1235064570/

He was merciless and funny as hell. RIP TF.

His brand of comedy will be sorely missed. I remember my Dad got us a Dachshund because Norm had one on his show.

 

[MisterCairo]

Dammit all to hell.

If you're a serious jazz fan, you probably already know how important the late George Wein was to the music:

A tough one for me. Many a joyful night has been spent shaking my pasty tushy while this man played boogie-woogie a few feet away.

I've had (and played) his "Hot Licks, Cold Steel, and Trucker's Favorites" since it came out in the early 70's. Probably not the typical Commander Cody music you're thinking of, but I liked it. Mama... hated diesels... so baddd!

Farewell, Commander, Godspeed and safe journey!

Is it just me, or should they rename this the "Oh, hell, who's dead now?" thread. 'Cause that's what runs through my mind every time I see there's a new post here.

I loved his trucker LPs.

A blast from the past.
