FWIW - In the 90's Brimley lived in my neighborhood in Draper and every morning he would have a cup of coffee at the only cafe in town. Back then Draper was a small sleepy farm town.

I liked him in "Cocoon" (comedy) and "The Firm" (Serious) [Grisham is a great Author] but had not seen Wilford Brimley in "The Natural"; I'll look it up. Thanks.Quote:

RIP, bro.
Way too many cigarettes, man. That guy smoked like a fiend. He's been battling the cancer for more than 20 years...I thought he had it beat but it got him.
If you can take it, here his is shredding for 12 straight minutes...this is actually pretty good.

A great loss.

Eddie Van Halen formed Van Halen in the early 1970s in Los Angeles, with his brother Alex as the drummer, David Lee Roth as singer and Michael Anthony on bass.
The band released their eponymous debut album in 1978. The album shot to number 19 on the Billboard charts, becoming one of the most successful debuts of the decade.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, Van Halen received great acclaim for his distinctive guitar parts in many of the band's hits.
Some of rock's biggest names have paid their respects on social media.
Kiss frontman Gene Simmons tweeted: "My heart is broken. Eddie was not only a Guitar God, but a genuinely beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Eddie!."
On Twitter, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea wrote that Van Halen had a "beautiful creative heart".

That was an awesome video. The guy could really play, and he had great stage presence too.
Also, can we appreciate the size and girth of that drum kit? Those were the days when drummers really went ham with the kits. You don't see that too much anymore.
I posted this here because...well, you'll see.

One of his best, thanks for the share.^^^
Sean Connery. One of my all time favorite actors and my favorite James Bond of all times! He was the epitome of masculinity......

I met him once. He said: "Rob, you're a shite, for shore eyesh"
Best Bond actor ever. Very, very good on "The hunt for Red October"
Rest in peace, Mr. Connery. Like Savanna, he is one of my all time favorite actors.
Anal bum cover for $200 Alex...
Best Connery spoof line ever!
That guy was such a badass. I've been wondering when he'd go...he's laid real low in the last 10 years. Every now and then I'll google his name and hit images to see if he's out and about...nothing. Best Bond ever...no contest.
For those of you who may not have seen it, you absolutely MUST watch the movie "The Man Who Would Be King"...Connery and Caine at their best. I own it on BluRay...it's one of those you can watch over and over.

I know he's had trouble with cancer, but he's been on TV lately...and although he looked a bit ruddy, he seemed OK.
Crazy thing about death...you can be light on your feet one week and dead the next.
Damned! Crazy that he was 80.. no idea he was 80..Quote:

To quote an old phrase, he was a "man's man"! I love the way he was portrayed in the movie The Right Stuff. 97 is a long life for someone who was at one time a test pilot! Hope he's soaring in the heavens now. :nod:Quote:

But I think that is why he was so successful; not so much for his flying skills (which were evidently superb) but for his single-minded attitude to learning everything about each and every aircraft he was about to test fly. He made a good Commanding Officer too, but I would not have wished to be under his command.
He was also lucky, let's not forget that (it could be argued that to a large extent you make your own luck)...all the roads at Edwards Air Force Base are named after test pilots who weren't.

Perhaps he disapproved of the POS you were flying?Quote:
