Man just reading all that, makes me very sad. I can only hope some kind of peace is found in all this.

He is...I'm certainly not. But time heals...(so they say)

Thanks for the thoughts.

Brooks Robinson, HOFer and former third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles passed away on September 26 at the age of 86. I have a couple of baseball cards of him, the earliest being from 1968 Topps. RIP.

Indeed, RIP Gary Wright! I saw his band Spooky Tooth in Chicago. As I recall, they put on a good show, and he was unique for having a sound dripping in synth in an era that was dominated by Hammond organ and other keys.

Auditorium Theater, Chicago

And Spooky Tooth is my stock answer for the greatest album title of all time:

You Broke My Heart So ... I Busted Your Jaw

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

RIP Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth.

Also, RIP Gary Wright.

R.I.P. Steve Harwell

I know Smash Mouth isn't the type of music people really listen to on here, but I mean.. 'All Star' forever lives on in Shrek

Was that the main guy??

All Star will never be anything but Shrek! Smile

Sad news. I had a cousin who took his life at age 39. My brother and I both thought he died from cancer because he had cancer but I guess he wanted to end his life on his own terms. I had a friend named Dean from college (who liked King Crimson, Yes, Floyd, Genesis, etc) who did die from cancer (at around age 25 or so).

(aka my best friend since grade eight and an extremely talented artist)

By his own hand. He was my brother from a different mother and the godfather to my son. He attempted it two weeks ago and was admitted to a hospital in North Van for a week. They released him on Friday and he took his life on Saturday.

Here is my tribute to him.

Rip Don, and my heartfelt condolenses go to you and your family (to everyone who knew him well) Heart

I lost my step cousin to suicide (he suffered from Tourettes and inexplicably fell from a story building atop another building (hit the roof). We were close despite him being 7 years older than me. Deep down, I know how it feels to lose someone close (my grandparents too) and recovery can be difficult. My best advice is keep him in the back of your mind and try to socialize more while doing something fun - especially at this time.

We are all with you as long as you need us! Rest well and don't let it bring you down.

Best Wishes,

Alex
