Dan Jenkins: his Semi-Tough is the more famous and highly regarded book, I think, but North Dallas Forty is the better movie.

clemenza, Sunday, 10 March 2019 19:15 (seven years ago)

Agree, but never read the books

Carpool Tunnel (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 10 March 2019 19:23 (seven years ago)

I read Jenkins in the '70s when he was still on staff at Sports Illustrated

aw man, hal was the best

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 01:26 (seven years ago)

In 2012 we were lucky to see Hal play with Nancy and a quorum of Wrecking Crew at a small memorial show for Billy Strange. Indescribable transcendence hearing “Be My Baby,” “These Boots…,” “Bang Bang” directly into your ears - maybe like seeing Mickey Mantle or the Grand Canyon.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 06:22 (seven years ago)

omg that must have been incredible

Seems weird to still have mob bosses being shot in the street in 2019.

franky boy... won't see him no more

I feel like it's in bad taste right now to post this on Facebook but I'm pretty emotional right now I guess

A really amazing Toronto musician just died last night, Justin Haynes. He worked with everyone, he was always helping people out. He made a record with my friend Chris once when Chris was going through the worst, worst time, hospitalized for mental illness stuff.

https://haynesplayparkinson.bandcamp.com/track/falling-in-love

Here's an amazing track of his, he's terrific through-and-through though

And he was homeless recently for a while and wrote extensively about it on his blog, which was reduced and revised for the local weekly Now, truly a heartbreaking read

I'm really broken up right now :(

Jake Phelps, editor-in-chief of Thrasher, 56.
Apparently he "died suddenly and easy", which I guess is something.

Ned Trifle X, Friday, 15 March 2019 12:04 (seven years ago)

"Suddenly and easy" is a really strange phrase I've never heard before. "Suddenly," yes. "Peacefully," sure. "Easy?"

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 15 March 2019 12:15 (seven years ago)

Yeah, it's weird. But not such a terrible way to go?

Ned Trifle X, Friday, 15 March 2019 12:19 (seven years ago)

have only ever heard murders in shit crime dramas use that word re death

kolarov spring (NickB), Friday, 15 March 2019 12:25 (seven years ago)
