rtpoe, thanks for mentioning not only Mandelbrot but Holbrooke.  I always felt a little better knowing Holbrooke was working for State.

I remember Harold Gould.  In Woody Allen's Love and Death Woody dabbles with his hot wife and then has a duel with him.

A coincidence for me is I just heard of this man not more than two weeks ago.  I knew the song Baker Street, but had no idea who sang it.  I heard a Waylon Jennings version of the song and had to know more about it.  It has been remade numerous times, but this has to be the best version, no disrespect to the departed.  If it weren't for him, the Jennings remake wouldn't have been possible.  But damn, I love me some Waylon!

I think Gerry version is a tad better, very miniscule, but I like the way Jennings kind of sound like Gordon Lightfoot with Gerry meloncholy bluesy tone. Can't replace the saxophone wailing with a electric guitar. But now they both can play together in heaven.

The song needs to sound gritty, which Gerry didn't do as well as Waylon imho, but a great song non the less.

 Standing in the shadows of Ricky....

 David Nelson, the last of the Ozzie-and-Harriet Nelsons, has died. On the deceptive face of it, David, who passed away Tuesday at age 74, was the least colorful member of the first family of situation comedy: One would say, within the context of the series, that he was his mother's son -- practical, serious, down-to-earth -- as goofy, dreamy, pop star Ricky was his father's. Eventually, he became a director of the series, as Ozzie had been before him, suggesting that he was his father's son in fact, and he later produced the spinoff "Ozzie's Girls," in which the room he had once shared with his brother was rented to a couple of what were then called coeds.

The man whose name is synonymous with fitness, Jack LaLanne, dead at the age of 96.

It would only be fitting if they gave out free "Jack LaLanne Juicers" at his funeral. His commitment to peoples' fitness and wellness was second to none.

All that healthy living and he died so young. The rest of us don`t have chance. Zsa Zsa Gabor still lives and the gods look down and laugh.

Who said life is fair ?  Like the saying goes, there are more old drunks than old Doctors so let's have another round.

As a youth he had health issue with sugar at a very young age he decided to alter his lifestyle. I wonder how long would he have lived if he hadn't take that road?
I bought his pulley machine at a auction and mount it at a gym as a museum piece. Nobody knew what it was when they sold it. It had Roman style etching engrave into the metal trim of the pulley system.
