The day the music died.

Not music related at all, but the list of hall of fame baseball pitchers that died this year grew again.

Maybe they are having a glass of watermelon wine?

We lost John Prine to the virus. Ironic that one of his last songs was about what he was gonna do when he went to heaven.

Gonna have a cocktail, vodka and ginger ale

Gonna smoke a cigarette, about 5 miles long.

I could never understand why Gilligan didn't-

Oh, never mind.

Here's "Ginger" in her younger days. WOW!
That show was inane but to me that was the appeal. I thought of myself as Gilligan. I'm stranded on this island with Mary Ann & Ginger...very different but both very pretty.
I'm thinking: (I'll choose my words) well...everyone knows what a teenage boy thinks!
Seriously...so sad...RIP wonderful sweet Dawn Wells. I always heard good things about her.
I hate this covid and I want the vaccination.

I always thought Mary Ann was the sexiest of the two, Ginger was never my style

I think a lot of us felt that way. Ginger was plastic, Mary Ann was real.

Did Tom T. Hall die?

 

[lilranch2001]

Doesn not look like it, shows he is still alive on the ole interweb

Did Tom T. Hall die?

I don't think so, that line just seemed appropriate at the moment.

It was.

This list is international so many won't recognize a lot of the names. It also includes performers of things I don't consider music.
