Today, August 16 1977, Elvis died. Yep "The King" passed on. His influence on Rock 'n Roll since his appearance during the 1950s can't be denied!

There's a documentary film just out about him called "The King" which starts soon... Watch for it on a big screen near you!

I'll add both Shuttle losses, Kennedy assassination, MLK, RFK, I can probably think of others that I knew where I was.

Easy Cy, easy... Ya might wanna limit yourself ta one at a time, since there is NO prize for reporting multiple deaths as coming in threes. Nope! Ya might consult with the Splooge Brothers about BJPC rules. Which reminds me, haven't you already won twice before?

Well too bad about Peter Fonda. I always liked his "Ulee's Gold" role. Opposite his dad in that one. One of his best. Almost got him an Oscar. Jack Nicholson in "Easy Rider" was his best ever. Hopper just played himself. Stoned the whole way...

Just one year ago they took one of our sweetest, finest voices who'll never be forgotten... Aretha. The "Queen" of soul!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0

Helluva loss around the world. That song "Respect" was written especially for Aretha by Otis Redding, another great voice!

Otis wrote that song about being on tour and coming home and wanting a little respect from his wife. Didn't have anything to do with Aretha but when Otis heard her version, he said she'd made it her own.

Maybe this will start a trend. Like rich, old, 'CONservative' white guys. We are allowed to petition Gawd with preyer just in case...

My buddy, the retired CSX HAWG, who worked out of Etowah, TN, hired out on the L&N, retired off a yard job in Knoxville, died today after a long cancer fight. Met him nearly 30 years ago, I think.

I'll bet he knew Rick Skidmore.
Another passing of something that will never be again.
My condolences.
