Fess Parker just passed away.

Aww! 
I never knew all that much about him, but that song by the Replacements is the shiznit.

Check out No. 1 Record and Radio City - two of the best albums ever.

And I never knew all that much about them, but that song by TMBG is hilarious.

Daniel Boon? Noooo!

I loved that program when I was a kid. I don't recall ever seeing him in anything else.

Are you a bajillion, cotillion years old, hobbitboy?!? 

I was going to scoff at the euphemistic loss of Fess Parker, but he seemed to have led a pretty eventful life. Today was Mrs. Parker's birthday, too.

[Reply #247 on:]

That's a heck of a birthday present.

Why have so many cool people died in the last few months? First Jay Reatard, then Andrew Koenig, then Mark Linkous, now Alex Chilton. Plus, Chris Knox had a stroke. All of my favourite people are dropping like flies.

 I don't think of myself as old although I do remember going to see Star Wars when it was originally released.

That sounds like a case for… going to bed.

Robert Culp died today.  He was one of my favorite actors; sadness.

[Reply #255 on:]

Aww, man. I only knew him from The Greatest American Hero but nooooo… !   

[Reply #256 on:]

He was in one of my favorite films, a British cult film titled Spectre, where he played a Sherlock Holmes type criminologist & occult expert who investigates strange goings on in a British mansion.  

[Reply #257 on:]

Sounds like he was investigating John Profumo.

[Reply #258 on:]

Peter Graves is dead. He was the pilot in Airplane!, one of my favorite movies!

"Joey, do you like gladiator movies?"

I'm sad to learn that Dennis Hopper is terminally ill with prostate cancer.  He weighs about 100 lbs and can't do chemotherapy.  That sucks.  I like Hopper, he's good act portraying villains.

   Malcolm McLaren has died today at the age of 64 after a long bout with cancer. He managed such diverse bands as the Sex Pistols and Bow Wow Wow. An innovator who was the creator of Punk.
   He also had an interesting solo music career.
