I think I remember Bob. 

I was a big fan of Cheers so that was sad to hear about Kirstie.

Bob McGrath, of Sesame Street fame, died December 4. He was an original cast member, one I distinctly remember from my childhood. RIP Bob.

Gaylord was a great pitcher, but it seemed like he was always in the shadow of Juan Marichal.

I was very sad to hear the news of Christine passing tonight. One of the greatest female vocalists and songwriters of all time, a huge influence on many others, and simply stunning in her art and general outlook.

One of my favourite photographs on an album is that of her looking exhausted, but yearning and simply beautiful, on the Mac Live Alum of the Tusk tour.

RIP Songbird.

that one hurts.. a lot... RIP Christine. One many of us of a certain age grew up adoring.. while Stevie engaged the hormones.. Christine fully did the heart and soul.

we're doing a marathon now but suppose by the time I we get to this.. if Songbird doesn't have me in tears yet.. this one will.

Very sad news. I met her some years ago. She was as nice and sweet as she looked. RIP Irene.

yes, very sad. One of the few for which the descriptor Legend is wholly apt.
