Yeah I'm kind of shocked someone didn't start a Bennett RIP thread. I've never been into the whole crooner, 40s, 50s thing, but I was born and raised in San Francisco (it's true) so the song meant a lot to me. I must have been 5 years old when I heard it.Originally Posted by Digital_Man

Well that's a bummer.
I don't think she had an easy life.

Randy Meisner of Poco and the Eagles has died (announced by the Eagles Facebook account), COPD. RIP.
Rest in peace, Randy.
I saw Randy Meisner in concert twice. Once at the California Jam with the Eagles in 1974, and once at a small club in the late '80s with the unrecorded Roberts-Meisner Band, featuring Rick Roberts of the Flying Burrito Brothers and Firefall.
I think the Meisner/Schmit & Poco/Eagles story makes for interesting discussion.
Meisner plays bass on Poco's first LP "Pickin' Up The Pieces". Then Schmit replaces Meisner on Poco's second LP titled "Poco". And Meisner joins the Eagles 1972. Meisner leaves the Eagles and is replaced by Schmit once again 1979. Schmit remained with the Eagles. Meisner went solo.
Meisner writes and sings a fantastic song "Tryin'" on the Eagles first LP. Later on on Poco's "Head Over Heals" LP Schmit writes and sings a fantastic song called "Keep On Tryin" that became a concert favorite. Both guys had high-pitched beautiful voices. Schmit still does.
RIP Randy

I was just reading about how Poco screwed Meisner over on that album. Furay and Messina barred him from the album mixing sessions, causing him to quit the band. They then erased his lead vocal contributions, and had George Grantham replace them; listed him as a guest rather than a band member in the credits; and as a final indignity, replaced his picture in the cover art with a dog.

Take It To The Limit....one more time.
A bonafide pioneer of the whole country rock genre- even before Poco and The Eagles he was blazing the trail with Rick Nelson The Stone Canyon Band - lookin' mighty young in this clip
Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) died the other day. His TV program and movies were fun.
Man, a lot of big names from my youth/early adulthood are passing on lately...
Reubens' funniest performance IMO was on an episode of 30 Rock where he played 'Prince Gerhardt'. Look it up if you've never seen it.

RIP Pee Wee
Very few movies have I seen more than 2 or 3 times. One exception was Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Another was Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Paul Reubens was a unique comic genius.

Check out this description from a NY Times list of Paul Reubens' best roles:
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ (1992)
Stream it on Max.
The year after Reubens’s career was temporarily derailed by indecent exposure charges in 1991, he began quietly making his way back with small, quirky roles like Amilyn, the henchman of a vampire kingpin (Rutger Hauer), in the original “Buffy” movie. Sporting a dashing goatee and looking as if he’d just escaped from a prog-rock band, Reubens chewed the scenery with gusto. He fully embraced camp in a death-by-stake scene that went over the top, and then did not even stop there. (It continued after the end credits.)
RIP, Pee Wee. I could look it up, but wasn't he in Cheech & Chong's second film, or something?
A few weeks prior to Buffy's release, he appeared in Batman Returns as the Penguin's father, Tucker Cobblepot.
Rest in peace, Paul.
He was in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie and Nice Dreams.
I just accidentally stumbled upon hearing about the news of Pee Wee's passing. Sad news. RIP Paul Reubens(aka Pee Wee). I remember his movie from the 80s (Pee Wee's Big Adventure) that was pretty funny.

John Gosling of The Kinks has died at age 75. He was keyboardist both times I saw The Kinks in concert, 1976 & 1977. Rest in peace.
A huge part of The Kinks sound during his time with the band, as demonstrated here-
Yes, he was in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie (which was their second). I remember seeing it as part of a double feature but I don't remember what the other one was. I remember it was the fist time I ever saw (or heard of) Pee Wee Herman. He was also on the dating game the year before in 1979 but he didn't win the date.
