Celebrities Dropping Like Flies

Based on experience, I highly doubt that. Regardless, these were not the first celebrities to die in 2022, and I did not want to undermine the Bob Saget thread.

There are several of us who think the title is quite callous and disrespectful.

I’d use the title of this thread or expression in a casual conversation with friend or acquaintance, so if I had a vote, I think the title is just fine. :person_shrugging:

“ It’s the way you name your ship
That’s the way it’s going to row.”

Yup. Titles matter. :slight_smile:

I’ve read so much of their work and each time I’ve come away a smarter, more whole person. I will continue to learn from them.

From what I’ve read, I don’t think he was immunized at all, let alone boosted. The point is that if people refuse to get immunized and boosted, they’re at high risk of hospitalization and death from something that they could easily have prevented.

It’s very sad, but it’s also tragic that so many are choosing not to get immunized and boosted, and some of them are paying for it with their lives.

I watched Paradise and Hot Patootie on youtube yesterday. He was such a great performer.

I love Meatloaf music. It was my first live concert and it was memorable. My kids know most of his songs because I used play them while driving them to different activities.
What’s interesting is a lot of people, including celebrities, tend to pass away around the new year or major holidays.

Listened to the entire Bat Out of Hell album on the ride to our respective parents this morning. My wife knows one or two songs. She said “Wow”. Had no idea. Solid from top to bottom. How many albums in the last 10 years can you say that about?

Strange thing for me is that Meat Loaf is from Dallas, TX, where I have lived since 1989. And I knew almost nothing about him.

Not a celebrity, but the 26 year old son of Regina King died by suicide this week. His name was Ian Alexander Jr. She is a phenomenal actor and just seems like a kind, sincere woman. I just saw the duo together in an interview. Makes me very sad.

Agree on the less-than-respectful tone of the title of this thread!
