______ Passed Away Today, RIP (11 Viewers)

[Charlie Steiner]

Not a familiar name to many: Former University of Maryland basketball player, assistant coach under Gary Williams during the national championship run, Billy Hahn, aged 69.

While he spent more time in the game away from College Park, including a run as an assistant at West Virginia, Hahn recruited to Maryland many of the players from their national championship team.

This one hurt because I remember him as a player who didn't see much time on the floor but was a hard-nosed competitor that used that same approach to his whole life.

MAD magazine was THE magazine when I was a kid. Always got mom to spring for a copy when the new one came out (monthly I recall) when we were on the grocery store trips ...and Lawson's for the chip dip and chipped chop ham

National Lampoon didn't come out until I was almost 13, and then that changed my world.

Though it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of his greatness, it does highlight some of his best solo work. Thought I’d share. Enjoy.

One last one. This video was shot a few years back by a fellow Parsoniac friend of mine, Fazil Okudan, of just Ian and his guitar.

ABBA was one of only a few cassettes (or was it 8-tracks?) that my parents would play in the car on our family roadtrips during my childhood. I got to know ABBA real well. This one stings.

great character actor

if you stream Hulu watch "For Want of a Boot" (M*A*S*H S2E17) - Lerner plays a dentist obsessed with Japan.

He got an Oscar nomination for his role in Barton Fink. Also remember him from playing Arnold Rothstein in Eight Men Out.

Jerry Springer, age 79.

Tell me you're in your early 50s without saying you're in your early 50s....yeah, we watched A LOT of Jerry in the frat house. BodyShaping was only trumped by MTV Spring Break.

Jerry Springer, age 79.

One thing I remember about Springer is when he was mayor of Cincinnati and organized the first ever rock concert at Riverfront stadium in 1978, featuring Eddie Money (two tickets to paradise), The Steve Miller band (came out with album Book of Dreams the year earlier), and the headliner was the Eagles. Joe Walsh just came out with Life's been good. All these bands in their prime. It was over a 100 degrees that day on the field and they had sprinklers set up. I was in the nose bleeds, but it was memorable. It cooled down a lot when the Eagles came on.

Dangit. One of my favorite humans.

If you haven't seen it, If You Could Read My Mind is a worthwhile biography doc on Prime. Much loved icon and well respected by other musicians.

Genius level songwriter. Good person. Aw man, will miss him.

On his deathbed, Gordon Lightfoot told his longtime friend and booking agent Bernie Fiedler, "We've had a good run."

My Dad loved Gordon Lightfoot and would play his albums all the time when we were kids. I know so many of his songs, every word, because I heard them so many times.

Much loved icon and well respected by other musicians.

I have seen this Bob Dylan quote on the Twitters: “I can’t think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don’t like. Every time I hear a song of his, it’s like I wish it would last forever.”

Much loved icon and well respected by other musicians.

I have seen this Bob Dylan quote on the Twitters: “I can’t think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don’t like. Every time I hear a song of his, it’s like I wish it would last forever.”

When he received a Lifetime Achievement Juno (Canadian equivalent of the Grammy's), Bob presented him. Bobby Zimmerman preceded Gordie by about 2 years on the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 60s and they became close friends.

The lyrics of his pop hits are forever ingrained in our memories, but I was a little late to realize what an massive legend he is in Canada.

Gord literally worked until his last days. I believe he had a concert series lineup up a couple weeks before his passing. He loved his life and the joy it brought his fans.

Will be sorely missed RIP
