RIP someone or another

[Craig Sawyers]

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest won a whole raft of Oscars, including one for Louise Fletcher as best actress.

R.I.P. Loretta Lynn at 90...

Oh shit!

R.I.P. Loretta. 

She made some incredible music. But didn't take herself too seriously either.

R.I.P. Angela Lansbury at 96...

96 ain’t a bad run and a seriously impressive resume. 

Have to wonder if Murder, She Wrote isn’t worth a reboot.

RIP Hagrid. 😢

He was a really good comic actor. His early sketch stuff in the 80s was pretty groundbreaking for the UK. RIP Robbie.

You mean, besides Castle?

Two officers of the nearby Bristol police department: Sergeant Dustin Demonte, who lives in my hometown, & Officer Alex Hamzy were both shot & killed in the line of duty in an ambush attack on October 12. They leave behind wives & very young children (including one on the way). A third officer: Officer Alec Iurato was also seriously wounded by a gunshot, but thankfully survived.

I don't know what to say, other than this is another fucked-up, senseless tragedy impacting many families, the local community, and the nation at large, forever.

[Voltron]

Fucked up indeed. The article I saw last night suggested that the shooter was FB friends with Officer Hamzy, which adds another twisted element that Hamzy was targeted, as opposed to just cops in general. At least the asshole is dead too, but I don't know if he killed himself or the officers did it.

Clearly the answer is more guns on the streets, especially assault weapons.

A long belated RIP to a cousin by marriage....my Stepfather's nephew Barry, who was a musician under the name Barri.

I found out from my Stepbrother just today that he had passed in 2020, apparently of some kind of cancer; he hadn't been in touch with the family in years so even my Stepbrother only just found out.

I have one of his CD's, it's a pretty darn good and musical one of modern Reggae influenced by some Roots.

This is a Promo pic from a single off his CD, he had dreadlocks down to his ankles!

RIP to the Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis.

Unbelievably talented player. I still love his music but he totally deserved the cancellation he brought on himself.

RIP Jerry.

You can keep your Cousin Micky Gilley company now. Two giant talents! And your other Cousin Jimmy Swaggart won't be too far behind.
