______ Passed Away Today, RIP (5 Viewers)

Saw TDN back in the 1980's. Some kind of city anniversary uptown on a Saturday (bandstamd in the middle of the square). The Edgar Winter Group played too. Good time. I had an apartment 3 blocks from there. And didn't go home alone :-)
 
Dave Jolicoeur aka Trugoy the Dove from De La Soul died at age 54.

Oh no! Probably one of my top-2 or 3 hip-hop/rap groups along with Tribe Called Quest.

Me, Myself & I is my go-to for karaoke. Heck, I can pretty much do the whole thing from memory w/o the words needing to be on the screen.

RIP Dave.
 
And I guess I feel OK enough to post this now....

Not a celeb, no one you knew, but RIP to my Dad, Bill. He passed peacefully early in the morning on January 27th. Love ya, Dad.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. If he was anything like his son, I've no doubt that he was a great man.
 
Is there another woman widely thought of as more beautiful than her?
In the article it references Welch was #3 on Playboy's Top 100 Sexiest Stars Of The 20th Century. I wondered who #1 and 2 were. Marilyn Monroe was 1 and Jayne Mansfield was #2. Not the question you asked, but interesting nonetheless. Sophia Loren is widely considered beautiful. More than Racquel? I'm not sure.
 
I met Raquel Welch briefly at a NYC hot spot I used to hang out at... in her late 60s, still and by far the hottest woman in the place.

I'd say probably still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen/met in person. Elle McPherson on halloween in a skin-tight supergirl outfit gave her a run for the money.

Rip.

And @nirad3 so sorry for you loss. Deepest condolences to you and your family.
 
My mom died this morning.
I moved back home almost 7 years ago to take care of her.
She became a widow early in life, back in 1972 with 7 kids were young enough to still be living at home.
A few years later her dad died and her mom moved in with us. I saw my mom take care of her mom while she was a widow with 7 kids.
Unbelievable conviction.
She was one of those people that everyone loved.
Gatherings were epic at her home, especially the holidays.
About 10 years ago when I was home for Christmas, I noticed how old she was getting. As she was dropping me off at the airport, I grabbed her and looked deep into her eyes and told her that if she ever needed me that I would drop everything and come back home to take care of her.
When I heard she was in trouble I quit my job, gave up my apartment, got rid of all of my possessions that couldn't fit in my car, and drove across the country and got in late, she was in a recovery center after nearly dying from an infection.
Everyone told me that mom had been waiting for me, I was tired by went and as I came into the room she perked up and we made eye contact. Same look we shared when I told her years before that I would be there for her.
She lost a leg to the infection and was wheelchair bound. Had many other ailments and then a stroke.
I became her arms and legs, fed and bathed her, we were basically one person.
I began taking her for walks, first around the block, then a few blocks to the library, then further and further till we began taking walks to the beach in the next town, a fifteen-mile round trip. People would see us and smile, wave, tell us that we were their hero's, come out of their homes to tell us how much seeing us meant to them.
I realized having others see us had meaning.
We took that walk for the last time in November.
We went for a small walk two days ago to the lake.
Taking care of my mom was the best job I ever had.
If you ever get the privilege of taking care of your loved ones, jump at the opportunity.
