Aww that sucks. I really liked Loggia, he could pull off all kinds of roles; the one in the scene above, to a gangster, to a cop, to a bumbling assistant college football coach.
Thought you guys missed this one. The grim reapers miss nothing.

Not a big surprise, but still sad. Death was from a combination of drugs and alcohol:Quote:

Toxicology testing shows Scott Weiland died from an overdose of several drugs and alcohol -- and his history of addiction also played a role.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner says the results show he OD'd on cocaine, MDA ... which is old school Ecstasy ... and booze.
It also shows heart disease and asthma were "significant" conditions. The test results also revealed Scott's "multi-substance dependence" was a factor.
Sad.
As someone who spent time on medium-sized venues (>1,000 but <10,000) with other bands, I'm glad I didn't get wrapped up in drugs, but I've seen plenty of compatriots do so.
There's no real support group for how to cope with what happens when you come down from the high of having hundreds of people hanging on your every word for several hours at a time just because you hopped on stage.
I did way more drinking than was probably healthy at the time, but lots of my peers were heavy into any upper they could get their hands on, and tempered them with copious amounts of booze.
It's ugly, and I hate that so much scrutiny is put on it, both glamorization and schadenfreude without much care for helping people through it.
its also I think just the life of being on the road too that drives rock stars to abuse of substances. Substance abuse is also quite high in truck drivers who are long haulers. Stuck on the highway for huge stretches of time and never really a home city to be had.

Meadowlark Lemon, dead at 83:

I loved watching him play. I got to actually see him and Curly Neal in the mid 70s and loved every minute of it. Sure, the act was similar from game to game, but they put on a great show for the fans.
I saw the announcement about Meadowlark Lemon, too, and like Khieran saw Globetrotters sometime in the 70's.
Seemed like a really small venue for guys of such talent. Like a special show for all the Scouts in the area, or some function like that. I can't remember the location, just that I was not more than six rows from the court, IIRC.

He had failing health which is no surprise but still never good to hear about a classic rocker going.
Nooooooo! Lemmy! :(
Well,
shit.
Better drink one for Lemmy... it's what he would have wanted. RIP! :rockon:
RIP Trapper John (aka Wayne Rogers). I did not realize he was that old, but I guess that makes sense considering when MASH was produced.
Boba Fett... at least the man who did the voice, died :(

I just watched the Twilight Zone "A Stop At Willoughby" yesterday (SyFy is doing a marathon of all episodes). He'd been in a lot of stuff. I had no idea he was Boba Fett's voice until now.

Cheers, Lysandor. Made me think of you, man.

That's a huge loss. A true genius :(
