Both post-season no-hit pitchers are no longer with us.

John Crosbie, a former federal cabinet minister who was known as much for his sharp wit as for his politics, has died at the age of 88.

The rolling stone twitter feed has a lot of really nice articles on Neil. You should check it out.

I play drums today because when I was eleven, I heard Subdivisions and I thought "hey those drums are all weird, they're not predictable like in other songs."

rest in beats, Neil. 

**** cancer.

RIP Neil Peart. One of the greatest drummers ever. He died much too young.

oh my god, I actually thought Macneil would have gone first. I'm actually Old enough to remember when the News Hour on PBS came on as soon as PPTV's KidZone wrapped up

RIP Kobe. 

 

and to think it was only yesterday that he was congratulating Lebron for surpassing him on the scoring list

 

and now I feel sick because Kobe's daughter Gianna was also on the copter.

Kobe Bryant & his daughter along with 7 others killed today in a helicopter crash. RIP. I hate this thread. 

4 people likely under 15. God that is just tragic

I don't get the hatred for Kobe. There are people out there that are celebrating he & his daughter's death. I have a facebook friend who just said he was a rapist & there's no way he's celebrating his death or feeling sadness. There is just no discussing it with him as he won't listen & just hates the guy.

I don't understand why anyone would want to celebrate his death that's weird.   

On the same hand every day innocent people are taken to early... I don't see why Kobe's death is so much more sad then your average person.

Sexual assault case no doubt is his reason.

Sports fans be forgiving all the time for druggies, rapists.
