The "people you may have heard about but probably didn't" death thread.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Country singer Mindy McCready. 37. She had some modest success in the mid-late 90's...but her life has been a mess for the last decade or so. Drugs, DUI's, a bunch of custody battles. She committed suicide.

You can take the boy out of the 820 CHAM but you can't take the 820 CHAM out of the boy ( apologies for the incredibly inside joke)

Yup....became a legit fan when I started there in '98!!!!!

In other death news...Jerry Buss, the owner of the LA Lakers, died today. He was 80.

The signs of her sickness started before all the substance abuse. I remember her stalking a player or two in Nashville, even after they got traded. I just feel bad for the kids.

RIP Paul Moody. Apparently gastric bypass complications. You would know him as Paul Bearer.

Stompin' Tom Connors at 77 from natural causes

http://www.stompintom.com/

A few years back I was helping a friend of Tom's. I got to know him a little. I always found it amusing that is wife, Lena, would call me and say "Stompin" would like to speak with you. I couldn't bring myself to call him "Stompin" so I just used Tom.

I wonder who the third lady will be to finish out this odd triangle.

I wonder who the third lady will be to finish out this odd triangle.

Lilly Pulitzer? She died yesterday, the girls at work said she's a famous designer, but I never heard of her.

[yrhmblnr8r 69]

Not a lady. The Man They Call Reveen put on an awesome show when I saw him as a kid. Oddly enough, he was never seen in the same room as Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

RIP, Legendary football broadcaster, and longtime sidekick to John Madden, Pat Summerall. 82 years old.

Canadian singer Rita McNeil. Never really a fan of her music, but apparently she still had quite a following out East! She was only 68.
