Fatality 2023.

I was just a kid when the song was first released. Cough cough 1956. It was so different and lyrics even a little guy could learn. I saw a movie last year Belafonte stared in. It was an old B&W drama that was likely shelved at it's time having racial undertones. Released in 1959 it only had a three member cast that also included Inger Stevens and Mel Ferrer. The World, the Flesh, and the Devil was a sci-fi well acted interesting movie that I really didn't intend to watch... but couldn't turn it off. It wasn't exciting... just interesting.

Harry Belafonte passed away today. The singer and actor had quite a career. Most notable song was Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) RIP and thanks for sharing your talents.

By many accounts he was a terrific guy who helped many others along the way.
RIP, Mr. Belafonte.

I just read that and was bringing the sad news here. I liked his music, especially The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
RIP and thanks for the good tunes.

Edmund Fitzgerald was a masterful piece of songwriting, that’s for sure. That song inspired me to learn more about the ship and it’s fateful last voyage.

Jim Brown RIP.

Here is a decent bio for the younger members. RIP Jim Brown. I enjoyed watching you play the game like no other.
I also thoroughly enjoyed your acting in The Dirty Dozen.

I think all the young members are long done. I think the only people left are us old dudes who drink beer and grill 😊

*Long gone, but could be done to I guess

RIP to the queen of rock ‘n roll. The only thing more impressive than her talent was her resilience.
We were in Zurich in March and saw her house from the lake.
