RIP Isaac Hayes Dead at 65

I thought it was a bit off to see Bernie Mac died a couple of days ago. Now Isaac Hayes? Evidently he collapsed on his treadmill. no news as to the cause of death. I was thinking he was in pretty good health. He will be sorely missed, as his music, particularly his writing while at STAX, was pretty formative in my earliest musical memories.

Fw: After the civil rights game....

After the game we went to the rendezvous BBQ. Say down with some folks from new jersey. The gentleman across the table in the picture was from Birmingham. He attended the 16th St Baptist church as a child. 40 years ago he was 30 minutes late arriving on the day a bomb exploded and 4 little girls died in that Alabama church. I expected to are a great game, but What a great day for baseball and a great conversation after the game. I couldn't be happier.
