When I see so many names from my youth (such as Jeff Beck) I am reminded of my own mortality and how I, as all of us, am only here for a relatively short time. It makes me think!
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894). When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy Democrats should not be the only party.

Why would I bother to think up insults and condescending comments about you when I can just throw the mud back at you that you sling at me? It saves mud.
Anyway, my intention was simply to honor the memory of Jeff Beck as I remember him.You are the one who attacked me for my eulogy.

My mistake. I was simply recounting my memories of knowing about him when I was growing up. I remember the super group of Paige,Clapton and Beck and I remember exploring his songs and style of guitar playing. We all endlessly discussed (and argued) about who was the greatest or best guitarist. I defended Beck, though the front runners were Hendrix vs Jimmy Paige.

We are all dying. She looked better than me, and she is gone. The handwriting is on the wall.

Dredge, please keep political comments out of the Tribute Thread. Our collective purpose is to honor those who have passed. It is not a place to discuss their politics nor to denigrate them or dance on their grave.
WWJD?

No, but you took a political swing in a tribute thread. Don't you think that was inappropriate? Just saying that... I'm not an administrator anymore.

Open Mike Circuit? What is the connection between the late beloved songwriter
The only song that I knew from him (though he wrote many)was The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald which had a history all its own. Why would you call him Gordon Nanosecond?
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee The lake it is said never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy

In addition,
quote: I noticed her more than the countless images on the news of so many who are being killed so young. One of my best friends is fighting both lung and liver cancer. I loved Suzanne through her character in both of her television roles, but as I see so many deaths in the news media these days, I think I have a renewed love for life itself. Death is no friend. Another newsworthy death that sickened me as well as President Biden was the stabbing death of the six year old Muslim boy due to an alleged hate crime.
Landlord charged with hate crimes after Muslim boy killed in Illinois Suzanne brought me love. This war brings me sadness and pain. Death is inevitable but let us strive for peace and not rush things...for anyone. I just had to open up.
