Wow, that's terrible.  Sounds like it was from a seizure.  My brother has dealt with those his whole life, finally now under control after a series of surgeries.

Michael Nesmith at 78... 

 

Best known as a member of the Monkees... the guy who made the Gretsch White Falcon guitar famous... wrote the song, "Different Drum" which was Linda Ronstadt's first hit... after leaving the Monkees, one of the early inventors of country-rock... while with the Monkees, made them a real band instead of a fake TV band...

 

Trivia: was the son of the woman who invented White Out which will be remembered as a Godsend by anybody who is old enough to have used typewriters...

Yep, remember hearing about his mother.

 

I liked the Monkees tv show in their crazy wacko kinda way.

Ahh Roland. 

I loved the Orioles FanFest as a kid, and I remember going to them and listening to the different forums. The first I one I saw was with Roland... and I was much more interested in him than any player. Good guy.

John Madden, 85. If football had a Mt. Rushmore just for general contributions and meaning to the sport, he'd be on it.

Wow. He was as iconic to the sport of football over the past 50-60 years as David Bowie, Prince or Michael Jackson was to popular music. 


Rest in peace.
