    Yeah, they just did a very well-known cover, but others have covered it too -- I'm not sure which version is used for Spy Hunter.

    The Art of Noise did a really good cover as well, but pretty sure it wasn't that one in Spy Hunter.

    My favorite cover of that song will always be the Blues Brothers version.

    Toronto's former mayor, Rob Ford, dead at age 46 to cancer:

    The family had just announced yesterday (or I had just read) that he was receiving "palliative care" in the Chemo Ward he was undergoing treatment.

    Dang, we just lost Phife Dawg

    Legitimate skills, one of the few rappers I could stomach. And at 45 too.

    Diabeetus sucks.

    Dude was far from obese, too, so it wasn't like he wasn't taking care of himself on the weight front.

    Most U.S. sports fans won't be familiar with this guy, but he's a world sports icon:

    Johan Cruyff dies at 68

    If a football player the caliber of, say, Johnny Unitas or Otto Graham had gone on to become Tom Landry or Bill Walsh, then you'd have the NFL's version of Cruyff.

    Yep. My decidedly Euro-focused facebook feed is a pile of "Holy crap, Cruyff died!" right now. I'm not into soccer at all, but growing up with it as a national sport, it's impossible not to be familiar with the icons of the sport.
    And he was indeed an icon. RIP.

    Article for Shandling: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/24/entert...eat/index.html

    I used to love the Larry Sanders Show. He'll be missed.

    That's awful. I just listened to an interview with him about a month and a half ago, and he seemed in great health.
