Disco Duck Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Rest in Peace Cynthia Lennon aged 75 from cancer. She began dating John Lennon when he didn't have a pot to piss in so it wasn't his money or fame that attracted her. Everything I've read about their marriage and divorce suggests that he treated her shabbily. She raised their son, Julian, more or less on her own and married three more times. My condolences to her son, other relatives and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypeO Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) A van carrying members of two heavy metal bands veered off the highway in Jackson County on Monday morning, killing three people and injuring eight more. Georgia State Patrol spokesman Cpl. Scott Smith said the van toting 15 members of the bands Khaotika and Wormreich was on I-85 southbound near Maysville Road on Monday around 7 a.m. when it veered off the road. Authorities believe the driver, identified as 27-year-old Khaotika member and Athens resident Sergio Quesada, fell asleep at the wheel before the vehicle plowed into a tree.http://m.ajc.com/news/news/local/at-least-3-people-dead-in-i-85-van-wreck-in-jackso/nknXJ/ Edited because posted from my phone.

Everything I've read about their marriage and divorce suggests that he treated her shabbily. She raised their son, Julian, more or less on her own and married three more times. My condolences to her son, other relatives and friends. Yes he did, asI have said many times he was a sadistic wife beating drug addict.

chillumpuffer Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is just sad! R.I.P Mr. Richie Benaud! http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/cricket/32182999 Sure is Kiwi. I grew up listening to the Australian tones when the BBC had Cricket. " morning Richie" as play started. When a test match was at Old Trafford, he used to stay very close to where I live now. I loved it when he used to mention his glorious drive through the Peak District when settling down to a full days play. Respect to the man - he will never be bettered.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 ^^He was definitely "the voice of cricket", CP. This was a man who knew what to say, when to pause, etc. (these seemingly insignificant aspects are so important in commentary!) and his commentating was unbiased! I really liked that! Lucky you, having the opportunity to grow up listening to the guy! The first time I had the pleasure of listening to him, was during the 1998 Ashes. I was just a 10 year old kid, at the time My favourite commentary duo are Richie Benaud and Bill Lawry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to see him play in the early '60's and then listen to his commentary on radio and tv when he retired from Cricket. Marvellous......

Deborah J Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ^^ How sad, yet another one of the greats. R.I.P Percy Sledge. I loved his music .- Take Time to Know Her- was another one I listened to a lot back in the 60's. My Mom had his albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Percy Sledge, When a Man Loves a Woman, 1966 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8raabzZNqw RIP That's very sad to hear. He was one of the truly gifted humans that lived while we too were alive. When a Man Loves a Woman is so beautiful and has touched my soul since the first time I listened to it. I think the song describes the human experience to a tee, in plain English that is so masterfully crafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Cancer takes another great man! RIP Steve Byrnes. Condolences to his family and friends. He fought long and hard and will be missed by many who have watched him for decades. NASCAR named last Sunday's race after him and they gave many, many tributes to him before, during, and after the race. I am so sad over this. http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2015/4/21/steve-byrnes-passes-away-age-56-battle-with-cancer-nascar-on-fox-reporter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
