GallowKnight Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Shock G was a great rapper and a terrific producer. Both he and Digital Underground deserves way more cred than they probably got, and not just for giving Tupac his first show at rapping.

Nictarion Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I always think of this scene from Nothing but Trouble when it comes to him (probably because I watched this movie a bunch as a kid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Heartbreaking news. First it was DMX and now Shock G. Two names at the center of the rap phase that I went through during high school and college. Humpty Dance and Doowutchyalike were two of my favorites back then. I'm not sure what to say except pour out a little liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be older than "a certain age." As a name expert, I did remember Tawny Kitaen as one of the two famous women named Tawny (the other being Tawny Godin Little, who was Miss America of 1976 and later a local newscaster in Los Angeles), but I have absolutely no memory of Whitesnake.

I sure as hell remember her in the videos. Whitesnake sold a lot records, I believe north of 100,000,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Jim Klobuchar passed away today. His story belongs here more than in the U.S. politics thread. He was a writer, journalist, story teller, adventure seeker and all in all a fun but complicated man. I had the privilege of driving him all around the state of Minnesota during Senator Klobuchar's first reelection campaign. Oh the stories the old man would tell, from climbing mountains half way around the world to drunken bar brawls in the middle of nowhere Northern Minnesota. He certainly left an impression on me and will be sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just read that Charles Grodin has passed away, at the age of 86. Just saw him a couple of weeks back when he was a young actor in Rosemary's Baby, but I think I probably first saw him when I was a child watching The Great Muppet Caper. He had a unique presence as a comedic actor. One of the last things he did was a running bit on Louis: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 A good friend told me tonight that Norman Lloyd died on May 10, which I somehow missed. I wrote a column on the name Norman in honor of his 106th birthday last November: https://omaha.com/entertainment/evans-psycho-killer-led-to-a-major-drop-in-popularity-for-norman/article_e6ab630c-310e-5b90-8571-813d2ead6b34.html Another column about Lloyd, who certainly had one of the most amazing and long lives of any Hollywood actor: https://deadline.com/2021/05/norman-lloyd-dead-st-elsewhere-actor-1234754280/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The great Ned Beatty has passed away. His first film role was Deliverance, which was ... quite the way to start a film career. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his part in Network, and of course he was the bumbling Otis in Superman. Television was mostly guest appearance and background work, but he did do three years on Homicide: Life on the Street. He seems to have retired from performing after 2013, looking at his credits. Here's the performance from Network: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 RIP Mike Gravel. One of the few voices in US politics that actually challenged the MIC. Not sure if this is the place to mention political deaths but if it's not allowed I will appeal on the grounds that Zappa said politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex.
