Former President Jimmy Carter 100

came here to share the same thing
great human and humanitarian
1976 was the first presedential election i remember and the region of oklahoma we were living in had plenty of peanut farms


First president to be born in a hospital. Seems like the best actual human being to be president. RIP


If this doesn't merit a thread title change, I'm not sure what would.

Great human being!

RIP


The 1976 electoral college map is wild. RIP.

highlights how the roaring '20s were a time of change rebounding from a great depression in the market coinciding with a foreign flu

RIP Peter

may will all be a paul bearer at his funeral


Decades ago I fell into the habit of spending a weekend at the Kerrville Folk Festival which spanned three weekends every year. I usually chose Memorial Day weekend to go as there was an extra night of music. As it turned out Peter Yarrow's birthday usually fell during that weekend, and he was often a performer that weekend.

In those days most of the seating was BYO lawn chairs or blankets on the ground. One weekend I was there with an ex and there was a small group of talkers directly behind us. I was annoyed (not unusual for me) through a few of the other performers with the yakkers, but their distraction was actually fairly easy to ignore. However, they were apparently too young to appreciate Peter Yarrow as their talking became louder and more distracting when he came on. My ex was a big PP&M fan, and suddenly she was far more annoyed than I. It didn't take long for her to lose it and turn toward the talkers and loudly demand, "Shut up! I'm trying to listen to songs about peace and love." Through the darkness came a faint, feminine, "Yes, ma'am." No more audible talking the rest of the night! I could not quit laughing--as quietly as I could manage.

RIP Peter

I couldn't tell you what I had for dinner Friday or Saturday, but some things stick with you permanently.

Bob Uecker passes away at 90. RIP


AS I said in the other thread, grew up a Brewers fan, listening to his play-by-play. This was just at the time he was achieving notoriety. I am saddened by this.


Must be in the front row...

RIP


RIP David Lynch. Too weird for many, but I really appreciate anyone who makes anything unique.







Garth Hudson passed away. The last member of the Band.

My favorite Garth story I heard from the movie the Last Waltz.

Garth was educated in music. His mother was adamantly against him being in a rock band and wasting his life. So he charged the rest of the members of the Band a couple of dollars a week and told his mother he was giving them music lessons.


Beat me to it. Gonna queue up a viewing of the Last Waltz this evening, I think.


I tried to find a video clip of the story but failed. Here’s the exact details from his wiki page

Hudson was first approached by Ronnie Hawkins and Levon Helm in the summer of 1961, after a Kapers show in London, and asked to join the Hawks, an offer he declined. The Hawks persisted, and in December 1961, Hudson agreed to join the band on two conditions: that Hawkins buy him a Lowrey organ, and that he be paid an extra $10 a week by each of the other band members to give music lessons to the other Hawks. This second condition was in part to justify the move to his parents, who he feared would think he was squandering his years of music education by playing in a rock and roll band.
