Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEK7At5cmNw Once more, for old time’s sake. I’ve never bought into the idea that when a person dies, every shitty thing he ever did in his life dies with him, so I’m not going to sit here and write a whole bunch about Rob Ford and how he just lost his courageous battle with cancer …

As you sit down to go through this morning’s crop of newsletters, chain letters, Viagra ads and notifications from Facebook that someone you know even less has also commented on the post of someone you hardly know, take a moment to remember Ray Tomlinson, the man who made it all possible. At the time, there …
I know I know. Glenn Frey didn’t sing Desperado. But he did help write it, so it counts. Besides, that title wasn’t my idea anyway. A friend suggested it and I laughed too much to pass it up because even though I’m sending off possibly my favourite member of the Eagles, the fact remains that …
I know this happened last week, but I still wanted to mention it. Hey, at least it was only last week, not last month, or months ago. So Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird”, has died. I think everyone should read that book. I can’t remember all the smaller points of the plot, …
The other night I was home alone flipping channels when I happened upon quite the old episode of Saturday Night Live. As I sat there watching it, it struck me that I never did put up any sort of so long for Don Pardo. He died in the summer of 2014 right when things were …

Ace of Spades I was distracted during the holidays and didn’t mention this, but Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, who a few months ago switched from drinking Jack and Coke to vodka and orange juice for the sake of his health which is one of my favourite rock stories in a long time, died of cancer at …
David Bowie – Starman Like what’s starting to seem like most people, I had no idea David Bowie had cancer until I woke up this morning to news that over the weekend, he’d died of it. He had just turned 69 and released a new album, which makes it all the more shocking. It’s been …
I got some pretty sad news yesterday. I never have met this man, but I know he’s been involved in the GDB family for years. I have written about the puppy truck before, when it had its accident and when they built a new one. Basically the puppy truck drives around dropping off puppies to …

Edit: Here’s his obituary. Search for his name…that’s the easiest way to find it. I have to say this because I can’t stop spluttering about it. I looked at my email, and saw one sent to a list I’m on and it was simply entitled “Robert Pearson.” I was going to gloss over it, but …
