A friend AND a family member didn't know he was a magician. Really? What a huge loss. I saw him in NYC in the mid-90's. i didn't see his show i just saw him in the east village. 2nd ave Deli I think. He probably died very near my current place. One of his haunts was Canter's on fairfax which I can walk to. I think he stayed out here once he moved west. I tried to get tickets to his show in nyc back then but couldn't. I didn't try hard enough. What an artist.OrtonToOlsen said:

The person i most ever wanted to be. I lived a little bit like him accidentally before i knew he existed, intentionally once i did. There can never be too much magic in a moment and each moment is lost when one does not invest every grain of magic one can summon into it. Rest in chaos, rest in order, rest in peace.OrtonToOlsen said:

There is or used to be a public pier that we would use for crabbing back in the early 80s. I bet if I saw it today I would be underwhelmed but it’s one of my fondest memories as a kid.

There was a community pier next to Happy Harbor Inn that people used to crab off of.

I was completely unaware that Hillenburg had ALS. Huge loss to children's programming.Damn, my kids grew up on [Spongebob].
Hillenburg sure put a lot of joy and laughter in my children's lives, though they both (they think!) have 'outgrown' Spongebob. The series was something we enjoyed together as a family, and we still quote the series all the time.
Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenburg. You done did good in this world.

Their houses were inspired. Squidward's was my favorite.

Harry Leslie Smith, tireless international advocate against poverty and for refugees. Passed yesterday at the age of 95 after becoming grievously ill while doing advocacy work in Canada for refugees.
He was a candle in the darkness. We shall not see his like again.

Just came in to post this. What a bummer. Grew up as a huge fan. The album Love Bites is an all time favorite record for me.

Howard's Magazine was also a favorite of mine.
But this is Pete and his ultra clever mix of punk and pop.

Met her - a fight scene in EWWBL was filmed in my hangout bar (Turf Club) in Santa Fe. Lovely gal, might have been behind Eastwood leaving a huge tab for the regulars for having displaced us. Actually thought she was already gone - she first got cancer in the 80s or 90s i think. RIP -

Jazz singer Nancy Wilson has died at the age of 81
I like some of her pop material from the early '60s. I think she could have been a female Sinatra if she wanted to, but her heart belonged to jazz.

Melvin Dummar, a Utah gas station owner whose 15 minutes of fame came from his story of once picking up a hitchhiking Howard Hughes has died at age 74.
His story was immortalized in Jonathan Demme's wonderful 1980 film "Melvin and Howard"

The classic Fralic story relates to a summer when he was caddying at a Pittsburgh golf course, He happened to get a foursome including Jackie Sherrill who was head coach at Pitt at the time. Sherrill looked him up and down and said "Wow, you're a big guy. Do you play football?" Fralic answered, "Yeah, coach, I do." Sherrill asked, "Are you in school?" Fralic answered, "Yeah, I'm a freshman." Sherrill shook his head and said, "How did I miss out on recruiting you? Where are you going?" Fralic's answer: "Oh, no, coach you didn't miss out. I'm a freshman at Penn Hills High School." Sherrill made sure he didn't miss out later.

Its strange that she passed away over a month ago, but its just now being reported. Sad in a way she is identified primarily as "Clint Eastwood's ex-girlfriend" since, after using his lawyers to evict her and move her possessions into storage after a decade long relationship, he referred to her in the subsequent lawsuit as "my occasional roommate over the past 10 years" (or something similar.) His treatment of her was deplorable, admitting I don't have personal knowledge and only know what I read. Her subsequent lawsuits with him and Warner Bros are used as textbook examples of the implied duty of "good faith and fair dealing" in law school contracts classes (Warner Bros, ostensibly acting at Eastwood's direction, having failed to meet the standard, breached their contract due to bad faith.)

Dayum. One of the most important people in comedy history because she showed a generation of women that funny don't know if you're female, keep being funny and folks will end up paying you for that. VERY few people who've made a living in comedy in the last 40 years dont have a Penny Marshall story because she was one of the great listeners/helpers ever. And everything she did had such a depressive edge to it that it made folks feel they were helping her by letting her help them. The genuine article. RIP -

I'm guessing most of the posters around here have seen Big and A League of Their Own more times than they can count. Not too many movie moments are more iconic than the floor piano dance and "there's no crying in baseball!"
