Remembering Johnny Gaudreau, the family-first NHL star killed in collision (msn.com)

RIP Johnny Hockey.  What a terrible story, killed along with his brother by a drunk driver, the day before his sister's wedding.  Just awful. That family must be devastated.

RIP Moondoggie

That's too bad. I enjoyed his music. I will have to spin one of his albums this weekend.

yeah believe it or not very often (but not anymore) the Tony Awards used to show off scenes from the Best Play nominations 

Like most kids of the 90s my first exposure to him was through the Lion King (I didn't know Star Wars was a thing yet, I didn't know that it was until the special editions came out in '97)

Thought he died years ago.

 

Dammit now I'm crying, and what sucks is that we'll never know what sort of Tribute Carrie Fischer would have said

Not many people your age even know who Sergio Mendes was let alone are familiar with his music. Big hit in 1968.
