RIP, Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts. I can't say that I was a fan but by the same token I would be lying if I said songs like "Summer Breeze" weren't part of the soundtrack of my youth.

Yeah, "Summer Breeze" in particular was as much a part of my HS/college soundtrack as anything else. Well, maybe not quite as much but still, pretty much a constant. RIP.

Had meant to post something about her last week but RIP to Barbara Ehrenreich. Reading "Nickel & Dimed" in the early 2000's was an important part of bringing my personal politics into sharper focus. I was making $5.25/hr at a gas station and pissed off every day that the country was being dragged into a bullshit war that people I had just graduated with were going to go die in or come back never being the same. As this piece says, "she made radical ideas sound like common sense."

She was an awesome author and a life-changer from a personal perspective. A giant and an author whose work I will recommend to people for many years to come.

I see that UncleFrank23, aka Ben, would have been 51 today. :cry: :cry: Another good one gone way too soon, victim of a cruel disease. Another HeAthen for whom the ability to make it to homecoming made a huge difference in his life. Sending my best wishes to Rebecca and the boys.

I'm trying to remember if I saw her speak. I feel like I did but I can't remember when. Anyway, that series of articles mentioned at the top of the obit were as terrific as the author describes. I guess one's overall status as a glass half empty or half full kind of person determines whether one thinks that things have gotten better or worse since she wrote. I will say that "downwardly mobile" never used to be a thing.

This was very good. Going to commit to reading some of his work that I haven't read previously over the winter.

The only thing he liked better than marrying his family was murdering them

Prince Andrew was a big fan. Also if we ignored all the musicians that have transgressions we wouldn't have much to talk about. For instance there's been plenty of talk about Ryan Adams here lately. He's pretty much a creep but he has some good songs. I actually knew a guy (passed away a year or 2 ago) who was in his band. Told some pretty sordid stories about life on the road with him. The guy I knew played in Dylan's band for quite awhile, too. I guess you just have to separate the art from the artist unless you want to just listen to K Pop boy bands.

i have some sketchy artists in my collection but c'mon... there are plenty of bands that don't commit statutory rape or murder.

I was just trying to make a point about art vs artist. Not to get bible thumper on anyone but it does say let he who is without sin cast the first stone. There's some wisdom in that verse. David Bowie is my favorite artist of all time but he was involved with some seriously sketchy stuff with way underage groupies & he's not the only one. I'm talking about girls age 13 or 14. Same with Jimmy Page. Bowie also made some really bad statements about fascism too when he was at the height of his cocaine abuse. He changed as he got older. I'm not going to quit listening to either of them. The list is long & continues to this day. On the other hand, I have no problem not listening to Marilyn Manson as I never cared for him in the first place. We won't even get into the hip hop world but I can think of one who's a billionaire now who was a drug dealer. & Snoop Dogg probably was involved with a murder to some extent. Again, it's endless.

it's probably a copout but social mores and rock stars isn't really comparable from the 70s to the 10s.

and there's a reason they called it gangsta rap.

Folks love to disregard changing social mores so they can feel sanctimonious.

And I don't know if he killed anybody. One of his wives overdosed. Let's not act like people don't overdose.
