Shirley Jones, 91.

 

Awww man.

RIP

 

Wow!

Breakfast In America is, IMO, one of my favorite Side 1s, and it's known for a big gap in enjoyability between the two sides. IOW, I'm looking at you sideways for hating Side 1 save LS, but I'm not the least bit shocked that you hated Side 2- everyone else does, too. Somebody actually posted verbatim that if Long Way Home had been on Side 1, there would have been no need to flip the record.

EDIT: Yep, here 'tis

I've sold plenty of CDs but no vinyl.

I did give away an Animal Logic album. It was the single most disappointing vinyl purchase I've ever made.

 

I thought she had already died, but that was Florence Henderson

 

Wrong thread.

 

Yeah,, I would have thought that Jones' fame was fleeting and has now fully fleeted...

 

Loved "Kiss my Grits" Flo!

 

Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton - 46

 

He was the one; the first guy whose skills made me think that goaltending was a desirable thing to attempt.

Saw him beat the Wings 1-0 in the Old Garden.

Balcony seats among the old perverts eating salami and pickles and beer, and throwing Spaldeens on the ice periodically... Watched the game when he came back after the trade and the Ranger fans chanted "Eddie, Eddie" all game long even though he was playing for the visitors now...

Eddie Saves, and Howell clears the puck away... RIP.

 

Goalies don’t look like him anymore . . .

 

There are not many of us around who even remember the Old Garden, never mind saw a game there. Did you grow up in Manhattan?

 

No, it was a family vacation my freshman spring break from boarding school. Mom took me to see any movies I wanted, which were "Taming of the Shrew"-- Liz Taylor was terrible-- "Chimes at Midnight"-- Orson Welles was great-- and "Doctor Zhivago"-- Julie Christie became my new celebrity crush. Dad took me to the Ranger game. And I have no idea what my sister got out of it.
(My dad was there to be installed as the new President of the American Association of Museums.)

I also scored the soundtrack to "Help", the first three Janis Ian albums, and the first "Big Brother and the Holding Company" album. So the weekend had a whole lot to do with who I grew up to be.

Plus, Manhattan was still largely coal-fired in '66, and spring rainstorms there had a grey beauty that was hard to top. And we stayed-- and ate-- at the Algonquin!

 

49ers Mourn Passing of Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Jim Fahnhorst

James John Fahnhorst, former San Francisco 49ers linebacker and three-time Super Bowl champion, passed away on September 17, 2025, at the age of 66. Known for his quiet toughness and cerebral approach to the game, Fahnhorst was a key contributor to one of the NFL’s most storied dynasties.

Born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on November 8, 1958, Jim starred at St. Cloud Tech High School before earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors at the University of Minnesota in 1981. Drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 1982, he instead began his professional career in the USFL, playing for the Chicago Blitz and Arizona Wranglers under coaching legend George Allen.

In 1984, Fahnhorst joined the San Francisco 49ers, where he played all seven seasons of his NFL career. He appeared in 82 games, starting 38, and recorded 232 tackles, seven interceptions, and one sack. He started in Super Bowls XIX, XXIII, and XXIV, helping the 49ers secure three championships during a golden era of football.

Beyond the gridiron, Fahnhorst earned a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco and later served as a financial advisor. He also gave back to the game as a coach at Macalester College and at Wayzata and Maple Grove High Schools in Minnesota, mentoring young athletes with the same discipline and integrity that defined his own career3.

Jim was the younger brother of Keith Fahnhorst, a fellow 49ers great, and together they shared four seasons on the same roster—a rare and cherished bond in professional sports.

Condolences to his family and friends and may he Rest in Peace.
