The RIP thread

Ariel Kalma (here under Prog Electronic), has passed. He had mentioned having cancer on his Bandcamp page, and his steady stream of releases had begun to wane recently. I'm very sorry to hear.

I thought they handled the Hawkeye/Hot Lips relationship well on that show. There was a sexual chemistry that could (mostly) not be acted on, but there was a deep mutual respect as well despite being at odds with each other constantly. Not that easy to pull off convincingly in a sitcom format.

Actually, Winchester was probably my favorite character. Fish out of water.

R.I.P. 'Hot Lips'.

Rest in peace, Hot Lips. That cast were like family in our house.

Dave Hilborne of Nova Cascade has passed away suddenly. A huge talent, he will be very sadly missed in the progressive music community.

Hi,

With the sad fact that the bunch of folks that run the Vatican are the least "Catholic" of any one you and I have ever met. And many of them did not like the ideas that Francis brought out, because it meant that the big name Cardinals would become less important ... and bring the church away from its musk'ian bosses! They want the control ... and they don't really care about anything else ... and the abuse of women and keeping them secondary within the church will continue ... it will never improve until more women are involved, and some of the Cardinals are gone! This church is in danger of falling out of time and place, and render itself worthless! Francis knew that it could not be all about their ideology and ignore everyone else like us!
