Rescue Me! Who have we lost this year?

[JayHawk]

I just read that Fontella Bass passed away today at the age of 72 from complications of a heart attack she had three weeks ago. Losing so many good ones this year... who made an impression on you and is gone?

no disrespect to her but that rescue me song is the original captain save a ho theme.

I like these old songs.
They need to remake them all to have a better bass and better sound quality.

 

[JayHawk]

I actually like the tinny sound... lets me know what I am listening to....

 

[just_mills]

I read about that earlier today. Shame..

We have lost Gore Vidal.

He may have been annoying and prissy and perverse and produced some turgid fiction but he was way ahead of most of us.

John Ingle. Most people know him as "that old guy on General Hospital," but I remember him as grumpy ol' Cera's Dad.

And of course, we can't forget:

I know it's just over twelve months now but I still mourn the passing of this man who I reckon was one of the great minds our time~

Christopher Hitchens

SO much talent lost in this 2012 year. Not limited to the arts either. We lost Senator Inouye and General Schwarzkopf.

Arnold Horshack aka Ron Palillo

It was nice to find out he spent 41 years with his partner. ........ who knew horshack was one of us?

 

[JayHawk]
