RIP -- Consequential Person Has Passed Away

I believe Auria was referring to the team in the picture, not the one in the text...

 

I meant the Habs! Sorry for any confusion...

 

Whew!! I just knew it....you couldn't have possibly rooted for Pittsburgh, Atlanta and the Rangers too. No one deserves that kind of punishment.

 

Henri Richard was a class act. Fast and silky-smooth, a little guy who could out-finesse just about anyone.

His older brother Maurice was much more than just one of the greatest players of all time. He was a guy who stood up for the second-class citizenship French-speakers faced in their home province and was one of the catalysts in the "Quiet Revolution."

 

Max Von Sydow, who was the bad guy in Strange Brew, has died.

 

Genesis P. Orridge 1950-2020

A musical chameleon who never failed to fascinate.

 

Kenny Rogers. Country music crossover star and co-founder of the underrated Kenny Rogers Roasters, which spawned Kramer’s addiction.

 

RIP Kenny. I won't add a fold 'em joke here.

 

Kenny Rogers also had some solid duet hits: "Islands in the Stream" with Dolly Parton, "What Are We Doing In Love?" with Dottie West, and "Don't Fall In Love With a Dreamer" with Kim Carnes. Back in the day when I spent a lot of time at karaoke bars, "Ruby: Don't Take Your Love to Town" was a popular choice among singers.

 

What about a "you picked a fine time to leave us" joke?

He was funny on Reno 911.

 

I guess Ruby's free to take her love anywhere she wants now... RIP, Gambler

 

Big Lebowski-ers will know this one

 

One of them had a major impact on music throughout the world in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's.

The other was Kenny Rogers.

 

Kenny Rogers got a lot of motherfuckers laid in the 70's 80's & 90's. He was the White Barry White

 

Also, better sticky this motherfucker, because shit is gonna pop off soon

 

Very versatile drummer, Bill Rieflin.

One of the great drummers has left us: Bill Rieflin. Just 59 years old, way too young. Cancer. Played on lots of amazing albums with Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, R.E.M. and Swans. Among many others. Thanks for all the brilliant beats, rousing rhythms and inspiring music. pic.twitter.com/vo3j1Wt0fo

Dang...Curly Neal at 77

 

We really need a Corona infections/deaths thread that's separate from this one, so we can keep track of who has it and discuss what their position was, say, 4-6 weeks ago.

Goddamn 2020 | Fuck You

 

Oh, that is terrible.
Couple times I met him, he was pretty nice.

 

The Toy Cannon. 78

 

Upright

 

I gotta admit your post was a great setup for pizza guy!

 

As a -born in 73 to a Minnesotan- soccer fan and hockey dad, I just want everyone to know that yes, we WON THE CUP --- and based on the current virus, personally accept any accolades for 2020.
