Strange that the name rings no bells for me, yet of course I know of Pascal.

You're doing better than I am. I thought "Wow, I didn't even realize Blaise Pascal was still alive"

Need more coffee. :gmorning:

That man was one hell of an actor. He even made the movie Action Jackson entertaining, despite the fact that the "supervillain" was Craig T. Nelson.

Wayne Kramer:

Wayne Kramer, co-founder of revolutionary rock band the MC5, dead at 75 | AP News

Kramer ran the JREF million dollar challenge for a short period. I didn't even know he was a rock legend at the time.

I didn't know the name at all, and I just saw a headline from the local news that says "Ann Arbor legend Wayne Kramer..." Apparently MC5 moved to Ann Arbor the year I was born, but I didn't move to Ann Arbor until 10 years later.

That Lavender was the last surviving main cast member of the series is in accord with the main premise of the series concept, of course. The home guard was largely made up of men who were willing but not draftable because too old. But Lavender's character was the sole member of the other constituency; those few that were too young.


Go well, Pikey!

Well, couple years ago, we went with the kids to his concert in Loveland.
Music was pretty good, but then he got the audience fired up with "Fuck Joe Biden" chants, and kept egging them on even as everybody was leaving.

Fuck him. I don't go to concerts to get into fuckin Political rallies.

Doesn't he have a some "Gonna stick my boot up <insert brown person>'s ass" type songs? I don't have any ill will towards him, but I don't know much about him.

I sympathize for his family, 62 is too young for anyone, and stomach cancer isn't particularly a nice way to go.
