Terri Garr, talented comedic actress, passed away last week, aged 79 https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/29/entertainment/teri-garr-death/index.html

BTW, cracking match between Arsenal and Liverpool on Sunday. Just wish we'd shown up for the first half; might've walked away with all three points. Still, a point away at The Emirates for a team in transition is a positive step.

Phil Lesh, co-founder of the Grateful Dead, has passed away at 84. https://apnews.com/article/phil-lesh-dies-grateful-dead-491f2ca2727f4b16be0cca033a7b1b6f

And finally (for now), I want to share the latest single by R&B/jazz artist Lady Blackbird. Heard it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it blew me away. Such a great vocalist. This is called "Like A Woman" https://youtu.be/WObJiuxHqVg?si=piPA5VwNSqjSZvLa

And the other new one I heard this morning is by Lauren Mayberry, lead singer for the Scottish synth-pop group Chvrches. This is called "Something In the Air". https://youtu.be/5qxVv0H2v5M?si=UP74nAjgoa_yXkhi

Here's one by Scout LaRue Willis that I just heard this morning, called "Take Me". A bit folky, a bit country-ish (Americana?). Lovely voice. Really dug this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evG_ETtJhJA Oh, and yes, she is Bruce and Demi's daughter. ;)

Franz Ferdinand is back with their latest, "Audacious" https://youtu.be/21JuGhzLcz0?si=fgZCWcRZOmRKaGL0

The latest from New York's Phantogram, entitled "Attaway" https://youtu.be/sRIzziGQNrY?si=UtKGOzGn6sN6RgtG

Oh my! I've not been coming in to update this. And so much good new music to get to. Let me share the song I'm listening to right now: Toronto's Tess Parks with her latest, "California's Dreaming" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUue343AB4

Just a bit uneasy knowing Darwin will likely start in Jota's place, given his penchant for missing even the simplest of finishes. And while Kelleher has been a godsend behind Allie, I'd still rather have Allie in this moment. Otherwise, our injuries are to regularly used subs (Bradley, Elliott)...

Brighton, once again, look like the "real deal". Do NOT relish having to play them twice within a four-day period AFTER the "showdown" fixture with Arsenal at The Emirates on Sunday. :oops: And while I'm enjoying Liverpool's current place at the top of the Prem tables, I really don't expect...

Finally, in what was truly shocking news the other day, Fernando Valenzuela died, age 63. 😪He'd just stepped down last month from his color role with the Dodgers' Spanish language radio broadcasts. "Fernandomania" kicked off with his electric MLB debut in 1981 and never really died down, even as...

Another notable death I meant to post: Paul Di'Anno, the first lead singer for Iron Maiden, passed away Monday (10.21). He was only 66. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/10/21/paul-dianno-iron-maiden-dead-at-66/75781387007/

I meant to post this earlier: Mitzi Gaynor, who starred in notable films such as "South Pacific", and later built a successful career in Vegas and specials on television, passed away at 93. When we were visiting a historic part of LA back in the mid-80s with our then-newborn eldest daughter...

Haven't done this in awhile. The NBA season kicked off a couple of nights ago. The Celtics raised their 18th banner, then proceeded to thrash the newly-reconstructed contenders New York Knicks. The Lakers became the first team to have a father and son play together in the same game (LeBron James...

Skipped a couple of weeks, but back at it for this past week. The early season suprises, Detroit and Minnesota, continue to be that, with both registering 5-1 records and the Lions just beat the Vikings last week. The Packers and Commanders are both 5-2, also surprising to me (especially...

Anyone else surprised by Real Madrid's 5-2 comeback win (from 2-nil down at the half) vs Dortmund? No? How about PSV drawing 1-1 with PSG? As for yesterday, how about Barca's 4-1 dismantling of Bayern? :oops: That was one crazy result. And Lille taking out Atletico 3-1 was a surprise (to me, at...

Found an interesting article about Sid's problems this year: offensively, 5 on 5, he's been a liability. We Need to Talk About Sidney Crosby

3-4 to start the season. Lose, win, lose, win, OT win followed by two blow out losses. Tristan Jarry has looked awful, the kid Joel Blomqvist has looked okay. Decent scoring at times but poor on defense. In other words, it's gone exactly as I'd thought.

Truly awful.
