I racked my brain for an old music based show I liked.

Never missed Sonny and Cher. Still

I just saw Cher last night. Very well done show and she sounds better than ever. Very hard to believe she is 72.

Sargent York was on the "tube" the other day, so I watched about the last half of it. Still a good movie, even if dated.

You do realize that you were watching a propaganda movie from Warner Brothers, don't you? See the comments made in the Congressional Record by Senator Nye of Nevada who wanted to hold hearings on that movie and others from Warner Brothers all trying to whip America into a war fever.

Devin Lima..... 41 SooPoo selection I believe.

Devin Lima..... 41

Never heard of him or his band. Here is a link, for the benefit of others: Devin Lima of LFO dies at 41.



If SOOPOO had him, that would be 59 points, which should clinch a win, except maybe if someone young on someone else's list goes, like Chumlee on mine.

I assume no one guessed Kim Porter. Young rich and beautiful and no cause of death.Hard to believe.

I'm hoping for good health for all the people on others' lists......

The omission is duly noted.

In other news, I'm sad to announce that Ricky Jay died on Saturday. He was a magician's magician. About as good at slight at hand tricks, which are the hardest to do, as anyone. However, as far as I knew, he never had a big act. I can't say that I knew him personally, but he seemed to do magic for the love of magic as opposed to the money or fame. I have a book he wrote about long gone magicians, mentalists, and the like. He was also an actor and not just playing magicians. My favorite roll of his (not that I've seen all of them) was in House of Games.

Big fan. Know a lot about him, all he did was
practice. At red lights, in line at the bank,
watching TV. He was always sharpening
his skills.

He was only 72, but has looked like crap
for a few years. Put on a lot of weight,
nobody has said what killed him yet.
He was a very secretive person, hard to
know or get ahold of. He patterned
himself after the old magicians he knew
as a kid, men who were famous in the
20's and 30's. They were secretive, and
had an air of mystery about them.
