Nobody, but no-body, slipped punches like The Greatest.

He was a top notch entertainer.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-05-2016, 03:54 PM

Yes he was, he worked at it. When he fought Joe Frazier he proved he could take it.

Kimbo Slice (real name Kevin Ferguson), dead at 42. No cause of death yet.

Guitarist Henry McCullough, 72.

Who?

OK, here's his most remembered solo. And Macca reminds us today that he made it up on the spot, in front of a live orchestra. Sometimes simple is best.

I read about his passing. I even went to listen to the guitar work on that song.

I'd forgotten that song ever existed. Pretty good old tune.

I should be so lucky.

It turns out that McCullough was also the guy who said,

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time"

...on Dark Side of the Moon.

That right there is some excellent trivia.

Gravdigr · 06-16-2016, 12:48 PM

Fuckin' A.

Good find UT.

Speaking of being really drunk, there is an intro to a song (I thought it was the pixies doing Manta Ray, but it might be unrelated since I heard it on a mix tape -- get the hell off my lawn!) where a woman is talking about how she was at a party or something and she went swimming in the ocean at night and felt all one with the universe and could hear the music in the distance and she thought she was this luminous being when she suddenly realized that she wasn't one with the universe, she was just really drunk and about to drown so she got the fuck out.

My details are sketchy but that was the general idea of her spiel. I sort of remember the name Annie Anxiety but didn't turn up anything.

Ron Lester, 'Billy Bob' in "Varsity Blues", died June 17 of liver and kidney failure after asking to be taken off of life support.

He'd had gastric bypass surgery in 2001, lost 348 lbs, and had 18 plastic surgeries to remove excess skin.

Ron Lester was 45 years old.

So, no help with the song then?
