The recent loss of Eddie Van Halen has probably been the most hard felt loss of a musician that I have ever experienced in my lifetime.
I absolutely LOVED his band and his talent !!!

 

 

I grew up a Braves Fan....14 years old in ‘58 where Spahn and Whitey Ford were kings. Along with Morgan, who I hated.because he was a King too

When Morgan retired he became an analyst where he did his magic explaining the game within the game. I loved that Man. I loved that game.

its different now.

A mans man does not slap women, a fact that he acknowledged in an interview with Barbara Walters.

 

ever wonder Onehundred80, why Barbara Walters didn’t rush to interview Juanita Broddrick?

 

.


In my book, it is an assault. I know a few ppl who would proportionally slap that woman back. In these times, no one can tell who is who any more, anyway!

I’ll take Celebrity Deaths for $80.

 

The Jetman team announced Vincent Reffet's passing today with a reading: "It is with unimaginable sadness that we announce the passing of Jetman Pilot, Vincent (Vince) Reffet, who died this morning, 17 November during training in Dubai.

We have seen plenty of Reffet's exploits over his last five years as a Jetman pilot. These carbon-winged devices offer what's probably the purest experience of human flight that current technology allows. Their four beefy jet turbines enable pilots to rocket through the air at speeds up to and over 250 mph (400 km/h), banking and soaring like jet-powered birds in flight.

 

An incredible human being and undertaking. I presume this was an accident...very sad.

Soon to find out if it was a Darwin award 'stunt'. Whatever happened, it was the sudden stop, it seems.

Chuck Yeager, first person to break sound barrier, dies at 97

I lived in W. VA for seven years and had the opportunity to meet Yeager...what a hero. He also flew UNDER the Kanawha River bridge in Charleston, WV in 1948 at 500 miles an hour. And believe me, it is W.V. and not a large, high bridge at all. Incredible!!! Here are some details. https://www.register-herald.com/news...1ab40f6de.html
