Namath to Maynard was poetry in motion.
I loved watching him catch a pass and run right past the defender.

Don Maynard 86 Super Bowl III

[Frayed Knot]

Saw Maynard catch a TD pass in the only football game I ever attended at Shea Stadium from ... Babe Parilli.
Namath, IIRC, started the game but had been either injured or benched mid-game.

Ronnie Spector, 78.

My wife was one of her son's teachers in Elementary School.
She told me Ronnie used to come to PTA meetings in a limo wearing a mink coat.

Glad she outlived her murderous ex.

[cal sharpie]

I saw her in concert in Central Park in the ‘90’s opening for Tommy James. She was great (so was Tommy).

James Mtume, jazz/R&B producer and artist (“Juicy Fruit” got a lot of love from brand new Z-100 in August 1983), 76.

The Windmills of Your Mind played three times faster and harder would make a
great punk or metal song...

Rosa Lee Hawkins of the Dixie Cups, 76.

Not for nothing, but didn't he die last summer?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess he enjoyed the experience and wanted to do it again.

[Frayed Knot]

Either that or he came back after discovering a new issue on which he was vaguely informed that he wanted to protest.

They have it wrong. He died on August 29, 2021.

From "Guess Who Died in 2021":

So many special roles, but my favorite is a 1970s Christmas movie called "The Gathering."

Clearly, Yahoo News could use an editor like Lou Grant.

[The Hot Corner]

Clearly, Yahoo News could use an editor like Lou Grant.

It appears Yahoo is letting Ted Baxter do the editing for them.

[Edgy MD]

Baxter's the best.



That's the gift that keeps giving right there. The amazing part is that Ted Knight was a war hero who won five Bronze Stars.
