RIP in 2021

Teresa from Concord · January 2021

Sad we need this thread. RIP Tommy. You gave this Yankee fan occasional heartache.

RIP Tommy

Michael Apted died too. Who’s gonna do the 7 Up series now. :-(

Teresa from Concord · January 2021

We need an RIP 2020!

I love you Tommy!
growing up in LA County in the seventies you were in awe of the Dodgers. Saw many games with him at the helm. Most highlights involve him getting ejected. If anyone represents Angelenos he is a good choice. Vins wife passed away a few days ago. Vin was the voice Tommy was the heart. Play ball Tommy!

Phil Spector! From Coronavirus in prison!

I know this is “RIP 2021”, so declaration, not wishing peaceful rest - I’m not going to defend Phil Spector, as you all probably know he was an awful hurtful umm murderous person. He is also a big part of music history. And a notable part of hairdo history.

Jessica Campbell - better known as Tammy in Election and Tuba Girl in Freaks and Geeks, passed away recently. She was only 38. :-(

Election is probably my favorite comedy. I saw that she passed the other day, it really threw me.

RIP Hank Aaron. Absolute legend.

Also RIP Mira Furlan, who played Danielle Rousseau on Lost. At first everyone thought it was a hoax, but it’s been confirmed.

damn, what a bummer

. RIP the true Home Run King.

I went to a game Aron played against the Dodgers in when I was very young.

I know this is a Baseball thread. But JFC this is 2021 and Tom Brady is still in the Superbowl with a different team.

Michelle · January 2021

Legendary, trailblazing, iconic actress, staunch advocate for human & civil rights and equality and absolute queen, Cicely Tyson, passed today. I have a small number of celebrities that I consider to be people that I would hold in the highest regard, and she is at the top of the list. I admire her guts, her tenacity, her unwavering faith in everything good, her confidence, her strength, her wisdom, and her beautiful soul. There will never be another quite like her.

MrX · February 2021

RIP Screech.

I remember reading how he ended up in the ER recently. And someone involved in the case said something along the lines of, "We are going to make him as comfortable as possible." That is never a great thing to hear in general.

Michelle · February 2021

Wow, I really thought Cicely Tyson would get more love. She was *phenomenal*.

Michelle · February 2021

RIP Christopher Plummer. I was going to do a Sound of Music watch *for my first time* (I know, right?) this weekend. Now I'll for sure have to.

Teresa from Concord · February 2021

RIP Hal Holbrook

kingbee67 · February 2021

Jazz musician pianist Chick Corea 79. He was one of my favorite fusion players. He had a group called Return To Forever. He also played with Miles Davis on some of his ground breaking work including the Bitches Brew recordings I wish I could have seen him preform live.

CretanBull · February 2021

Rupert Neve. You might not recognize his name, but his work changed your life. Neve was a pioneer in the music business, an engineer who designed studio equipment that is still highly sought after today. The Neve console at just one studio (Sound City in LA) recorded over 100 Gold and Platinum albums from Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Metallica, and too many others to list.

Rush Limbaugh. To quote a tweet I saw, "All I'm asking that you treat the news of Rush Limbaugh's death with the same level of respect he gave, undocumented immigrants, women, Michael J. Fox, minorities, rape victims, LGBTQ individuals etc."

Edit - also this tweet - "Live your life in such a way that "Rest in Piss" does not trend when you die."

Teresa from Concord · February 2021

This will sound mean but...let the swamp draining begin.

George Segal :-(

Expect a sad Goldbergs episode in the near future.

Murderbear · March 2021

I always loved him. He was great in everything.

Dee · March 2021

@Murderbear Same. He had such charm. He was 87 though, so he had a good innings.

Chinaski · March 2021

awe Jessica Walter (Lucille Bluth) has passed away. RIP
